LEGO has recently shared some information on the contestants of the upcoming LEGO Masters US TV show, giving us an overview of the ten teams of two who will be competing to be the ultimate LEGO builder. As we've mentioned before, BZPower's very own Nuju Metru, aka Aaron, is on the show, so we'll certainly be rooting for him! I recognize a few of the other contestants as AFOLs from around the community, but there's plenty more who look like they're just passionate fans from all over the states. Read on to learn about all of the participants, and don't forget to tune in on February 5th on Fox to watch!

MEET THE 20 CONTESTANTS SET TO COMPETE ON NEW UNSCRIPTED COMPETITION SERIES "LEGO MASTERS" PREMIERING WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, ON FOX

Paired in Teams of Two, 20 LEGO-Obsessed Contestants Put Their Building Skills to the Test

Let the brick-building begin! 20 men and women have been selected to showcase their expert LEGO experience in the new competition series LEGO MASTERS, premiering Wednesday, Feb. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Hosted by Will Arnett, the series will put these contestants - ranging from ages 23 to 65, and hailing from every part of the country and all walks of life - to the test. Teams of two will compete against each other in ambitious brick-building challenges until the top teams face off for a cash prize, the ultimate LEGO trophy and the grand title of LEGO MASTERS. Throughout the competition, Arnett, alongside expert judges, will encourage the builders and introduce incredible challenges, as one contestant pair is sent home each week, until the final duo is crowned LEGO MASTERS.
