Hapori Tohu Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Every couple of years or so it seems that LEGO likes to introduce a new 'big bang' theme with a TV show, games, apps, and of course, tons of LEGO sets. This year that theme is Nexo Knights, a new take on the classic medieval castle infused with some sci-fi goodness. To check out the literally dozens of sets being churned out this year for the new property, read on!

Lyichir Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Interesting. This is the first we've heard of the Black Knight Mech set (we had known about a summer store exclusive, but did not know its contents). I haven't watched all ten episodes of the TV series, but apparently Robin is the character who pilots this mech. Hopefully that set will include Whiparella as well, since she's the only general/scourge who isn't included in other sets. The other sets all look great. Of the summer sets, I particularly love Axl's Tower Carrier and Aaron's Aero-Striker V2.

Smitty Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I knew there would be another Knight to joint the team. Looks like Robin is filling the Samurai X role while Eva plays the Nai part.

Aanchir Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What is with the "FPO" things everywhere? FPO means "For Placement Only" and it basically means they're placeholder graphics. I'm thrilled that we're getting Ultimate versions, vehicles, hover-horses, and squirebots for the knights who didn't get them in the first wave. Aaron's Aero-Striker V2 is a fantastic design that I absolutely love. I also am really pleased with all the interior details of Jestro's Volcano Lair, such as a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Boy-oriented themes often lack these kinds of "creature comforts" that make a space really feel livable, so it's ironic to get so many of them in a terrifying evil lair — but it fits with Jestro's characterization as a sensitive person who deep down just wants to be happy, and only embraced the Book of Monsters' evil schemes as a means to that end. My brother and I already have four Nexo Knights sets: Ultimate Clay, Ultimate Macy, Ultimate Aaron, and the King's Mech. We plan on getting a lot more but because of their cost we're waiting on good sales and deals to take a bit of the bite out of the expense. The new Ultimate sets coming out look like a lot of fun and fit their respective characters' personalities pretty nicely. It's interesting how many unique parts/prints Ultimate General Magmar and Ultimate Flama have since Ultimate Lavaria and Ultimate Beast Master each had only one unique printed part (Lavaria's upper body and Beast Master's lower body), with the other parts shared with the non-ultimate versions. The new monsters like Flama, General Magmar, and Burnzie look great. It's also cool that there's a Scurrier with a black and orange color scheme like Moltor. Kinda disappointed that we haven't gotten any spider-Globlins.This is my first time hearing about The Black Knight Mech. It's probably safe to assume it'll come with Whiparella since she hasn't been released in any other sets. Should be pretty cool. I wonder how much black it'll use, though. It'd be kinda confusing if it used a whole lot since black is mainly being used for the bad guys this year, and blue for the good guys. It'd be cool if it used a lot of titanium metallic since that IS used as the color of the good guy vehicles' wheels, and it's a really fun color IMO.

Black Six Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What is with the "FPO" things everywhere?From the news story: Before we dive in, you'll notice that pretty much all of the shields say 'FPO' on them. This stands for, 'For Placement Only,' and is used because these are not all production sets and were made before the shield designs, which have to work with the app, were finalized.

They are fun to build and play with. They are also nice and compact so the can go on long road trips or with you when you will be waiting for an extended period of time. 1 Quote At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe.

Lyichir Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Did anyone else think of Prince Zuko when they saw General Magmar? Dang, I hadn't even made the connection. But now I want the Avatar theme back more than ever... Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
