x105Black Posted September 7, 2016 I don't think you can draw the conclusion its number 4 from that sentence, its more like the top three plus honorable mention for the biggest new theme. That's how I took it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotMegalodon Posted September 7, 2016 Well, i guess it did better than Chima year 3, if it brought growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Well, i guess it did better than Chima year 3, if it brought growth. A new theme performing better than any theme in its final year is far from unusual. I would be more interested in knowing whether it had a stronger LAUNCH than Chima (which did well upon release but still fell short of lofty expectations). Of course, I doubt we'll ever get those sorts of specifics. Edited September 7, 2016 by Lyichir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted September 7, 2016 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=99528376&cp=&parentPage=search Creepy new Nexo Knights costume from LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted September 7, 2016 Less creepy than mixels costumes! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazing Bricks Posted September 7, 2016 Finally got ultimate axl, definitely the best out of the bunch. It's worth the $10 because you get the big torso. Plus, the Orange-yellow pieces are great, that magnet is also a great build. Who's your favorite ultimate set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) http://www.toysrus.c...rentPage=search Creepy new Nexo Knights costume from LEGO. http://www.toysrus.c...59496enh-z6.jpg What is it with LEGO fans calling everything "creepy" nowadays? It's a bit out-of-proportion, but I don't really see anything creepy about it. Is "acting scared of kids' stuff" the new "acting too cool for kids' stuff"? The "prestige" costumes (the ones with the shaped legs) do look better than the ones that just have pants. Although, for Nexo Knights, they only have that type of costume for Clay. Aaron and Lance have to make do with the normal grey pants of the "deluxe" costumes. The whole selection (including Nexo Knights and Ninjago costumes) can be seen here.

CM4Sci Posted September 7, 2016 I guess cause there's never been a good enough LEGO Minifigure costume? I saw one ONCE on Reddit of a guy in a top hat that was perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted September 7, 2016 Finally got ultimate axl, definitely the best out of the bunch. It's worth the $10 because you get the big torso.

Bricknblue Posted September 7, 2016 I think LEGO's holiday themes theme this year is creepy. That costume, the little sets, all very creepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted September 7, 2016 I've seen that costume before, and it is creepy. Or, well, just bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Japanbuilder Posted September 8, 2016 Finally got ultimate axl, definitely the best out of the bunch. It's worth the $10 because you get the big torso. Plus, the Orange-yellow pieces are great, that magnet is also a great build. Who's your favorite ultimate set? Plan on getting them all but so far I have Lavaria and Aaron. By far Lavaria is my favorite. I like her colors and the build is fantastic. Plus she can still use her legs while atop the spider build. So that makes it so no piece is left around idling about. Plus the printing on these Nexo figures is off the hook! I don't think I've ever seen a line with so much care and effort put into even the run of the mill characters.

Whiteagle Posted September 8, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen a line with so much care and effort put into even the run of the mill characters. Well Lavaria isn't exactly "Run-of-the-mill," but yeah, even the mook Figures and single PIECES are greatly detailed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickJagger Posted September 8, 2016 Jeez, those costumes are creepy. The armor plate really doesn't look good. Finally got ultimate axl, definitely the best out of the bunch. It's worth the $10 because you get the big torso. Plus, the Orange-yellow pieces are great, that magnet is also a great build. Who's your favorite ultimate set? Lavaria. Overall she has a ton of detail and her spider legs are the coolest upgrade among the Ultimates (Clay is a close second). The spider legs are actually quite useful, I gave Lavaria her regular legs and put my Intro Pack monster on the spider legs because he doesn't have a weapon of his own.

Whiteagle Posted September 8, 2016 The spider legs are actually quite useful, I gave Lavaria her regular legs and put my Intro Pack monster on the spider legs because he doesn't have a weapon of his own. I actually picked up a second Lavaria on Clearance mainly because of my Brikwars army of Mutant Spider Girls, as the parts to make Spinlyn-style Driders aren't as easy to come by.

x105Black Posted September 8, 2016 Who's your favorite ultimate set? Either Lance because of his visor piece (good with a tans helmet), or Macy for the pyramid tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makoy Posted September 8, 2016 I don't think you can draw the conclusion its number 4 from that sentence, its more like the top three plus honorable mention for the biggest new theme. Having worked with some PR people before I can understand where you're coming from. If I interpret it myself it would read like this: "City, Ninjago and Star Wars are our biggest sellers so far, but our new theme Nexo Knights also performed well. Of course we won't tell you how good or bad it performs overall but we want to paint a picture that it is doing well so that people will keep on buying and that the next wave won't flop."

If it were flopping it would be a shame. The minifgures are simply wonderful. The builds so far are not yet impressing me (aside from the smaller builds they packed a lot of character in those but tonight when I get home I have the King's Mech to build so that might turn it around for me) but the figures are awesome! I can certainly see myself using them for plenty of things beyond Nexo Knights. Plus if/when the line peters out There will be plenty of fun pieces to make some awesome space rides with cool armor pieces to stand in for space suits.

Sounds goood PM me a photo :D My fav is also a Lavaria, but I love Magmar as well. The trans red jagged knife piece and "glowing" armor are perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
