Season six of LEGO Masters recently reached its thrilling conclusion, showcasing creativity, teamwork, and some surprising emotional moments.
After a tense competition, three teams squared off in the final episode of the popular television show for a chance to claim the coveted LEGO Masters trophy and a cash prize of 27,000 euros. The finalists included Filippos and Tobi, Michel and Eric, and Tommy and Uwe, all of whom were tasked with building imaginative designs that met the jury's high standards. Renowned LEGO expert René Hoffmeister, known as 'Deutschland's only certified LEGO model builder', and Katrine Talks assessed their work, while the lively show was moderated by Daniel Hartwich.
In its six episodes, LEGO Masters has continued to captivate audiences since transitioning from RTL to VOX, where it has maintained strong viewership numbers, particularly among younger viewers. The finale aired on March 18, 2025, signaling yet another successful season of creativity and competition.
The episode featured an intriguing preliminary challenge, where the teams competed to construct the highest tower on a seesaw-like structure, each working on either side without being able to see their teammate’s progress. This unique twist meant only a tower that maintained its balance for 15 seconds would earn points. Filippos and Tobi, alongside Tommy and Uwe, faced difficulties, leading to their towers collapsing after construction. In contrast, Eric and Michel successfully completed their tower, winning 10 points, although they had to return four stones later in the competition.
Moving to the main event, the finalists had 24 hours over three filming days to create whatever project they desired while adhering to jury specifications. These included an emphasis on imaginative designs, attention to detail, color choice, and a minimum of two technical functions. The finalists responded with unique creations: Filippos and Tobi crafted an underwater scene filled with moving fish and lobsters, Tommy and Uwe designed a knight's castle with a dragon portal featuring moving elements like a waterfall, while Eric and Michel unveiled a steampunk fantasy world with a flying hot air balloon and moving conveyor belt.
Emotions ran high during the build, as Uwe struggled with motivation and Tommy was visibly affected by the pressure of the competition. Tensions between Eric and Michel resurfaced as they faced disagreements on various aspects of their design. Observers noted that while Filippos and Tobi took extra time on their lobster creation, which led to less intricate details in other aspects.
In a surprise twist, a bonus round prompted teams to build a companion for the LEGO robot Bert, which offered an opportunity to win back the previously surrendered building stones. Ultimately, Filippos and Tobi triumphed in this round, adding crucial points to their score.
As the jury assessed each of the masterpieces, the competitive atmosphere heightened. When the final points were tallied, it was revealed that Tommy and Uwe emerged victorious, earning the title of LEGO Masters 2025 with a score of 39 points—26 from the expert jury and 13 from the family jury. Meanwhile, Eric and Michel followed closely in second place with 36 points, while Filippos and Tobi finished third with 25 points.
The triumph of Tommy and Uwe not only awarded them the title but also the cash prize, marking an impressive achievement after a season filled with challenges.
