After a gruelling season, the LEGO Masters Grand Masters winners have finally been announced! Best mates Scott and Owen have taken out the all-coveted brick trophy (alongside a cool $100k).
Returning to the ‘all stars’ season, the pair finished their Season 3 stint as runners up. Returning as ‘Grand Masters’ in 2023, the duo set the goal to redeem themselves. And that they have…

With a self-admitted ‘clashing’ style of building, the long-time buddies say they bring out the best in each other; with Owen focusing on details and Scott looking at the bigger picture.
Highlights from the season include their ‘Ice Queen’ build (which Brickman labelled as their “best build ever”) their ‘Train Heist’ build, and their Pirate Ship.
It’s their wild ideas and long-lasting partnership that they attribute to their win. While the duo are aware that they often clash and argue, Owen told TV Week “The fact that we’ve been mates for so long…we’re good enough mates that it doesn’t get in the way”.
In a full-circle moment, their winning Grand Masters robot build was an interpretation of their audition piece.
“I don’t think we would have had the skills to pull it off last time. Our journey through Grand Masters really helped us develop another set of skills that we didn’t have last time and that definitely allowed us to pull it off to a level that we both can be really proud of,” Owen revealed to TV Week.
With Scotty sharing that he “never thought we would do it,” it’s the second chance at the LEGO Masters title that makes the team’s win all that much sweeter.
Lifting up the Grand Masters trophy in the all-exciting finale moment, the besties now share an unforgettable, triumphant memory together.
After its 2019 debut, LEGO Masters Australia returned for its fifth season in 2023. As the first-ever ‘Grand Masters’ season, the series saw the return of previous competitors. Winners and top teams of previous seasons (plus a wildcard duo) congregated to compete for the Grand Masters title.
Hosted by Hamish Blake and judged by LEGO certified builder Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught, the family-favourite series took LEGO creativity to all new heights.
