Luke Horwath was 5 when he got his first Lego set.
He sat with his mother, Anne, at their kitchen table, bonding as they created a car and a helicopter. He’s been building ever since.
The Barrington mother and son are competitors in season five of “Lego Masters,” a national competition television series hosted by Will Arnett. While filming has wrapped, viewers know that so far the Horwaths are still in the running.
On the show, teams of two Lego enthusiasts take part in challenges, building massive complex creations and crafting captivating stories to win $100,000 and the “Lego Masters” title. New episodes air Mondays at 7 p.m. on FOX.
