Vorkosigan Posted January 29, 2016 The demon lava monsters have long reminded me of this kingdom from Heroes of Might and Magic III: And Jestro's castle fits pretty well into that vibe. It'd be nice if we had gotten some demon dog / Cerberus type animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickFit26 Posted January 29, 2016 If I get all the knight vehicles I'll also have my full team of squirebots.. it's too bad the castle is out of my price range. The new scurrier rocks. Its out of my price range too, but the new scurrier definitely rocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted January 29, 2016 Gonna make my own mace-tailed Macy dragon. . . I hope they come out with one soon, it's too cool of an idea to miss. If you wait just a week, I'll post my version. Does 1400 bricks sound good to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted January 29, 2016 If you wait just a week, I'll post my version. Does 1400 bricks sound good to you? Why can't both of you post yours? The more Nexo MOCS, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted January 29, 2016 First Nexo Knights is getting a magazine in the uk (why not the us?) http://thenexoforums...ights-magazine/ Also quick question. Is there a legal way I can upload the music for the intro of the tv show? I reported it 3 times already as they appear in Poland too!:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomKraut Posted January 29, 2016 The magazine will be out in Germany an February 11th. I picked up the odd Chima magazine by the same publisher (Blue Ocean) in the past if it came with a minifigure. The content is of course aimed at children, much more so than the TV show or webisodes for example, with very simple storylines in the comics and easy riddles etc. The first issue will have a minifigure and it is.... Lance! I'm still on the fence about this one. I like the idea of a complete Nexo Knights collection, but then again the magazine itself is nothing I want and what would I do with the umptenth Lance figure?

PenPlays Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) The Castle looks like the biggest Lego castle ever, so it would be a shame not to get it. When this Castle was folded in or open it had dimensions larger than the Lion Chi Temple (the largest surface area a castle has covered in the past 4 years). The only Castle that beat Vladek's Dark Fortress in height was this one. Edited January 29, 2016 by Penkid11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalandi Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Btw. Did anyone notice that the Fortrex set has more parts than any castle since before the fantasy era at least? Edited January 29, 2016 by metalandi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopheQ Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) The Castle looks like the biggest Lego castle ever, so it would be a shame not to get it. For some reason (lack of main door, proper ramparts etc...) I can't see it as a proper castle. more a fortified playground for twisted (lava) kids. (I will still buy it of course...) As a strong 7572 Quest Against Time vibe as well... Btw.

BrickJagger Posted January 29, 2016 When this Castle was folded in or open it had dimensions larger than the Lion Chi Temple (the largest surface area a castle has covered in the past 4 years). The only Castle that beat Vladek's Dark Fortress in height was this one. Vladek's Fortress is pretty much a giant "U", but Jestro's Castle is completely filled in and is a complete Castle. For some reason (lack of main door, proper ramparts etc...) I can't see it as a proper castle. more a fortified playground for twisted (lava) kids. (I will still buy it of course...) As a strong 7572 Quest Against Time vibe as well... Studs, pins and carterpillar pieces helped a lot... Its got towers, ramparts, trapdoors, a throne, a prison, and what looks to be an armory. That counts as a Castle to me. On my phone so I can't upload pictures, but I got this: https://flic.kr/p/D4s7fi Is this the magazine or just a random thing? Pretty sure that's an activity book.

Aanchir Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) On my phone so I can't upload pictures, but I got this: https://flic.kr/p/D4s7fi Is this the magazine or just a random thing? This is an activity book, and the figure is Aaron's Squirebot. In some editions it's marked as an exclusive fig but as far as I can tell it really isn't — Aaron's Squirebot comes in the Aero-Striker V2 set, so unless this one has an exclusive face or something it's the same fig. Not too surprising, since activity books have never really had exclusive parts, but a little disappointing that they'd advertise it as exclusive when it really isn't. Maybe they think they can get away with it since those editions of the activity book come out long before the Aero-Striker V2 is released, so for a while the Aaronbot is technically exclusive to the activity book. Shame the minifigure turnaround seems to omit some figs like the summer Ultimate figures for some reason. Would've been nice to get a close-up.

ChristopheQ Posted January 29, 2016 Its got towers, ramparts, trapdoors, a throne, a prison, and what looks to be an armory. That counts as a Castle to me. and one could argue, that in a world where horse and shield are flying, proper door and ramparts are obsolete... Jestro has build a post-modern castle, he is the new Vauban... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogly22238 Posted January 30, 2016 Get the Castle, brick link the Macy-Bot and buy the $8 Activity book for the Aaron Bot. A Macy vehicle comes in the Castle and an Aaron vehicle comes in the Fortrex. The Castle looks like the biggest Lego castle ever, so it would be a shame not to get it. It would be a shame, wouldn't it? The castle even has the Book keeper. I need everything except the helmet on the Macy bot anyway. Considering this, the only sets I'll get will be the Castle and the Tower Carrier, so the Siege Machine will be last on my list then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

refriedbeans Posted January 30, 2016 Some serious throwback with that Quest Against Time Set, still one of my favorite sets and themes. I think I will just collect the Ultimate sets, I don't have space to display all the wonderful models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopheQ Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I will buy all sets having books. I love Aaron flyer, but too good, few room for improvement. And I want to limit number of sets to diplay. So mostly for pieces. I will keep only the Fortrex and few horses for the knights. For the vilains, besides my wicked war wagon MOC (with probably ultimate Magmar and ultimate Flama inside) I planned to make a huge tower assault vehicle, but seeing the lava castle, I prefer instead to make my own version of the base (with a more visible volcano, and a castle more like the Monster Fighters' one. But I really like the wheels of the Evil Mobile, so I started joining them together, hamster wheel style, and feel it with globlins. Look rather similar to a Warhammer Skaven doomwheel. Will put Motlor on the black side, red Flama on the red side. Edited January 30, 2016 by ChristopheQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
