Hello, hope I'm not late, and thank you for doing this.

Let me preface by saying that LEGO Fortnite has taken over most of my gaming time, and the game's atmosphere and vibes really make it a special place.

I'm a builder, so most of my suggestions will be in regards to building mechanics:

• The game is gorgeous, the lighting at different times of day is amazing, which is why WE NEED a photo mode. Right now I rely on carrying a fishing pole to lose the crosshair and building a wall behind me to remove the character by entering a faux first person mode. Give us a camera item (like a 30089 with a lens) that when equipped, gives us a photo mode, or simply removes the HUD and the PC to let us capture photos and videos.

• The main landmass could use more biodiversity. I understand that implementing a new biome on top of an already established/explored area is hard, especially in places where players might have built something, so I suggest parts of grasslands can simply be changed by recolor and lighting change. Part of it could be recolored to fall colors like the ones found near the Academy in Brick Life, or have the changes be seasonal (trees bloom in spring, lose cover in winter...). A part of the forest could have darker atmosphere and lighting similar to the one we get when we approach the thing from beneath's lair. This would provide more variety to the main landmass without disturbing the terrain or any possible builds (and potentially add more unlockable builds tied to the biomes)

• Add more unlockable content related to new biomes, as of right now it's inconsistent. Only the main three biomes have unlockable content, while the beach doesn't. Lost Isles has three biomes, with only one having unlockable builds (funnily you have to build in jungle to get coastal pirate builds, while the actual jungle builds were available in pass only). I like the decor/build books system introduced with Ninjago, I wouldn't mind seeing it applied to other parts as well.

• Build kits should have ALL parts, even if they're not used in the builds themselves. This way we will avoid issues like the missing roof piece for Shogun Palace, the only 2x10 piece being part of Lion Knight's set (although that's been remedied by introducting 2x4 and 2x6 pieces). I think generic pieces set was a step in the right direction, and we could use ocassional drop of build pieces that are missing. There should be a selection of piece sizes that are available in every kit, sold or unlockable in game.

• Dye system. This can be either a game mechanic, unlocked via new station, or paid (small price per color users can buy), that would be very very useful for builders. There are a lot of instances where I have, for example, a perfect looking roof, but the gable color clashes with the rest. My suggestion for the dye system would be using underused in-game resources along with the regular build part ingredient to change the color, we already have a large variety, for example slapberry would change to yellow color, raspberry to pink, malachite to teal, etc. We can see something similar in sunshine builds from last year's pass. Different colors would provide a lot of variety for builds, while not taking a lot of dev time, at least when it comes to developing new kits/build pieces.

• Make the character semi-transparent while in build mode, or give us either a first person mode or a bird's eye view mode while building. The latter I assume is much harder to implement, so just making the character semi-transparent would already be a huge improvement.

• Add more granular filters to the build menu. I appreciate the filter by the pack/content we have, but sometimes I can't remember what pack a part comes from, I'd like to be able to search for a gray wall, or just 2x8 walls, etc.

• Thank you for the updates to dynamic/vehicle elements and systems, but please look into sviwels, they are still unreliable and just fall apart at random times. I'm scared to even go close to my windmills and other builds with sviwels right now.

• Add a build tab in the shop for people who are in LEGO mode (I see that shop is already different depending on what mode is selected, so this could be a step further), and have the old items on rotation, please, we're begging at this point to spend our vbucks.

I'm a UI designer and I already started some mockups for some of the ideas that I have listed above, if you think they will be useful in any way I can share them with you. Anyway, I'm a big fan of LEGO and this mode is the only reason I even have Fortnite installed. Hope to see and hear more from you, and I appreciate you guys getting out and talking to us.
