There’s building a LEGO model, and then there’s building a legacy. Henry and Cade now have both.
Winners of the first season of LEGO Masters Australia, the pair returned to the bricks in Grand Masters of the Galaxy and walked away with a fresh title, a $100,000 cheque, and a fair claim to the phrase “best in the world.”
The setup was international: seven countries, three finalists, one winner. Henry and Cade’s entry, “Spartans versus Hydra,” went big with ancient mythology, complex scale, and the kind of last-minute stumble that would have sunk lesser teams. It didn’t. Their diorama, anchored by a winged goddess and a five-headed beast, drew praise from both the judges and public vote.
It helped that the competition leaned playful. Australia’s Trent and Alex offered “Dogzilla,” a giant pup wrecking a LEGO city, while Sweden’s Vidar and Albin got metaphorical with “A Child’s Imagination.” All three were ambitious. Only one walked out with the win.
For longtime viewers, this was less about the prize and more about the comeback. Henry and Cade hadn’t competed together since Season 1. They were sharp then, they’re sharper now, and they used their return to push harder and risk more. Host Hamish Blake called out the skill. The scoreboard backed him up.
The show itself remains what it’s always been: unashamedly earnest, occasionally chaotic, and fully committed to the idea that creativity, when dialled up to obsessive levels, still makes good TV.
And in my opinion, the best build actually won.
