ChristopheQ Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Too bad about the stickers are you sure they are stickers ? Compare to the prelim photo, they are still not centered, but I don't see the thin 3rd dimension of the paper. Look flat too me, but I am no expert... : http://images.brickset.com/sets/AdditionalImages/70335-1/70335_alt3.jpg Quote
Exetrius Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Just noticed the armor actually doesn't include the crest, it's just a hole there, with the crest being printed on the chest. Would that mean that Robin has two different torso prints already or is his crest printed on the armour (he has a different one compared to the other knights)? Edit: Nevermind! Ultimate Clay went from ugly to fantastic btw! Edited November 23, 2015 by Exetrius Quote

There's no way they'd mess up printing this badly. Quote
Aanchir Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 The motorcycle mode looks really cool, and I'm really warming up to the horse mode as well! I still prefer the little hover-horses, though. The Rumble Blade looks nice, and it's cool that the main part of the vehicle becomes a turret/ballista when the bikes and flier are detached, however ridiculous that makes the size of the base compared to the size of the blasters. The sword-shaped flier is brilliant! Once again, Mark Stafford brings his A-game. It's still not clear if there are any interesting details inside or behind Jestro's Evil Mobile, but it's still a really good design. It's cool to see that Infernox can be hitched up to it in place of Sparkks! The Fortrex interior looks nice. I love the round table and kitchen, small as they are. These are the kinds of features that LEGO Castle has long been lacking. I like the cannon on the top a lot better now that I see that when it's mounted on the Fortrex, it's crossbow-shaped, and the transparent fluorescent reddish orange lightsaber blades are the bowstring, although it still looks very silly when detached as a flier. It's really a very solid design for a mobile fortress. :) Merlok's Library makes a nice expansion to the Fortrex, though I think they could have made room for more than just one book. That's kind of disappointing. Still, nice to be getting a library at all. The King's Mech remains a great design with really nice articulation, The Ultimate characters have great figures and accessories. I love the idea of swappable accessories to match the Nexo Power shields. :) I hope there's another wave in the future that includes other characters like Axl and Jestro. :) are you sure they are stickers ? Compare to the prelim photo, they are still not centered, but I don't see the thin 3rd dimension of the paper. Look flat too me, but I am no expert... : http://images.brickset.com/sets/AdditionalImages/70335-1/70335_alt3.jpg It's possible that they might be stickered in some sets and printed in others...

CM4Sci Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Jestro's Evil mobile has a cage in the back and a moving jaw. Quote
ChristopheQ Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Those are renders. Thank you ! And here ? are you guies sure it's stickers ? http://images.brickset.com/sets/AdditionalImages/70325-1/70325_alt10.jpg Quote
8BrickMario Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It seems almost positive by the irregular placement of the decoration and the sheer number of shields that they must be stickers. Now, those books, on the other hand...I think I see an edge on a couple, but the design comes so close to the edge of the cover, and I don't see any signs of a sticker on the green book. Quote
Robert8 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Jestro looks like a guy in drag haha I had to say it Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It's okay, I've been think it for weeks. I gotta find some money for these! These look amazing. And themes seem to be a lot nicer when there existence doesn't threaten a particular theme about spinning Ninja... Quote
BrickJagger Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 These sets look great! Going to get: 1x Lava Monster Go-Kart 1x Hyper Cannon 1x Mini-Fortrex 2x Knight Bike 1x Battle Blaster 1x Chaos Catapult 1x Lava Smasher 1x Infernox Queen Capture 1x King's Mech 1x Fortrex 1x Ultimate Macy My poor wallet. Looking at the pics, the Mohawk baddie's name is Flame Thrower and the shirtless baddie's name is Crust Smasher. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Ultimate Lavaria looks amazing. I'm glad she comes with her standard legs so you don't have to have her in the spider esc mode. Though I wonder what piece is used to attach her bat wings. It kinda looks like the piece used on DC Hawkman and Space Batman. Quote
ChristopheQ Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 any idea why the set numbers are not continuous ? why 70325 and 70327 but no 70326 ? does it happen often ? possible exclusive sets for wawe 1 ? or only wawe 2 ? (in this case do you have an idea which will be the exclusive set ? Library ? King Mech ? http://brickset.com/sets/year-2016/theme-Nexo-Knights thank you ! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I really like the little girl, her name is Ava. She has a new face and her torso looks pretty great. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Like the Holy Roman Empire, which was often said to be neither holy, not Roman, not an empire, Merlok's Library doesn't contain Merlok and it isn't much of a library. Still, good to see detail on those books. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I just realized what's been bothering me about this theme. It's basically Brikwars: The Theme. Except that they're treating the subject matter seriously, when Brikwars is inherently parodying. This picture really drove that point home. (It's very reminiscent of the crest of the Deadly Spaceman.) That being said, I may need to get Moltar just for that one piece. Anyone know about how much that set is going to be? Quote
Phadeout Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Well I've just had a complete rethink about this theme. I hadn't planned on getting a single set but now.... There are some really fun looking sets here, hoping my eldest likes them, I can imagine this being the theme that gets him to diversify away fromStar Wars.He will be getting the king's mech whether he likes it or not...

Robert8 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Are there pics of the Queen set? I didn't see them Quote
Aanchir Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Are there pics of the Queen set? I didn't see them Right here! Quote
BrickFit26 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I'm really impressed. But the ultimates really wowed me. Im guessing we're getting ultimate Lance & Axl for the summer wave? I really like Lance's Mecha Horse. Quote
Robert8 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Right here! Thanks! I'm so getting that one! It's good to see she has a double face Sadly, it comes with Aaron. I'd prefer Lance or Clay This set and the King Mech are a must fo me Quote

(It's very reminiscent of the crest of the Deadly Spaceman.) That being said, I may need to get Moltar just for that one piece. Anyone know about how much that set is going to be? What exactly gives you the impression that Nexo Knights is taking the subject matter seriously? I mean, yes, it seems to be trying to develop its world to be consistent with itself and develop its concepts to their natural conclusions, rather than treating the whole thing as a joke. But there is PLENTY of humor in this theme. There's literally a knight whose crest is a chicken (who rides around in what looks like a toy version of the main hero vehicle). There are all sorts of adorable robots, including a hilarious-looking Chefbot. The lava monsters include huge, terrifying golems—but also bulbous, goofy imps. There's a robotic horse that transforms into a motorcycle! I just don't see how this theme could be considered more "serious" than Ninjago, and in fact the inherent humor and ridiculousness of both themes is one of the main reasons they both interest me so much.

Kintobor Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 The more I see of this theme, the more I fall in love with it's campy charm. The figures are superb, the flying horse vehicles are awesome looking, and there's some excellent looking sets and pieces. I think my only desire out of the theme is a couple of buildings. I'd love to see some towers with the dark blue colour scheme or a volcano dungeon or something along those lines. Also, Lavaria's such an awesome figure. All the demons devils lava creatures are expertly designed. They're equal parts menacing and really fun looking, especially the little imps! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Its a shame that Axl is only in the fortrex set, but don't worry guys, I'm positive he'll come in a $60 set in the summer. Also, expect Axl in a $20 ultimate lookking set against a baddie. Quote
The Brick King Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Hmm, this theme looks interesting. Space knights are cool. Can someone give me an overview of what the theme is about? Quote
BrickJagger Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Hmm, this theme looks interesting. Space knights are cool. Can someone give me an overview of what the theme is about? Five techno knights, led by their mentor, a digital wizard, go on a quest to defeat the rouge court jester, who has been possessed by an evil book that summons lava monsters. Quote
