BrickJagger Posted February 2, 2016 That first bootleg set is hilarious. They just slapped a hover-horse onto the polybag bike and called it a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) What's the best nexo knights summer set? I'm partial to Axl's Tower Carrier myself... such a cool vehicle, with just the right blend of Castle and Space influence. That opinion could change as we get closer to release, though.

DraikNova Posted February 2, 2016 That first bootleg set is hilarious. They just slapped a hover-horse onto the polybag bike and called it a day. That's just...what. I'm always amazed by the sheer lack of basic design in bootleg models. Sure, the whole point of bootlegs is to avoid effort, but is it that hard to put a bunch of bricks into a slightly different yet still reasonable-looking combination? I'm partial to Axl's Tower Carrier myself... such a cool vehicle, with just the right blend of Castle and Space influence. That opinion could change as we get closer to release, though. Got to agree with you on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted February 3, 2016 What's the best nexo knights summer set? General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom Possibly the best set name of all time, and contains exclusive General Magmar and Flama, the best Lava Monster. Bigger, taller, and more intimidating than the Evil Mobile, and the boarding ramp supposedly fits with the dimensions of The Fortrex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted February 3, 2016 They changed Flama's description to use male pronouns. The gender reassignment is complete! We've already got bootlegs... Nice, I like their shields. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopheQ Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Preview... Guess what it is! A very blurry photo of the very cool show golem. Looks good !! I hope it will be in the exclusive sets (a raid village pretty please !!! In Wave 1 we got the Queen, the king, Ava..., we need some civilians for wave 2 as well). By the way I am happy Lego didn't show all the sets. Still something to hope for... What's the best nexo knights summer set? I think few would answer Macy thunder mace For design (look, playability...) it will possibly be Aaron v2 crossbow (we will need a video to be sure) For content/value, (and by content I mean super cool figs !) I could say the Volcano or the Major General Magmar 's Evil Siege Machine of Impeding Doom Magmar vehicle has 2 super cool exclusive minifies at a correct price point (but the vehicle design is a bit lacking for me...) the Volcano has the exclusive black scurrier and elf guy (and the book, and Jestro, and 3 knights...) but I am an hipster and will say Ultimate Magmar !!!! Yet if you have 50$ to invest, I will recommend Magmar vehicle over 5 Ultimate Magmar... But I am not sure it's better than Chaos Chariot (30$) and Moltor lava smasher (20$). Or Chaos Chariot, Ultimate Flama and Ultimate Magmar. To compare only within wave 2, The Volcano should be the Price of Axl tower transport (70$) and Magmar vehicle (50$). If you don't have already the Evil Mobil, I will go for the base. We've already got bootlegs... No 103-7 has some potential.

Rayskull Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) They changed Flama's description to use male pronouns. I kinda feel smug after being shouted down a while back :) Those are interesting. Not a bad idea to have combining mini sets. Edited February 3, 2016 by Rayskull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karateduo1 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Preview... Guess what it is! Looks like the one Flama rode on in the characters section.http://cache.lego.co...l.r2=1516718926 In fact I would be foolish for doubting. Don't see how Whiperella would fit on one though.

Rayskull Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Preview... Guess what it is! Is it a set or an MOC ....If its Flama's Monster I want it! Edited February 3, 2016 by Peppermint_M No photo quotes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickFit26 Posted February 3, 2016 I hope we get one before they move on to swamp creatures I hope we do too. Out of all the vehicles,my favorites are the hover horses. They are very well designed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayskull Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah I might MOC a lava horse, well see, but yeah that red Monster is it a set?...it looks too detailed to be a set but if it is YES! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Greeble Posted February 3, 2016 Sorry, not a set, but a MOC, if there is a demand, I will post instructions though. Pictures tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aanchir Posted February 3, 2016 Are Lego books digital and paper versions release on same dates? Not always. But the Nexo Knights readers and chapter books from Scholastic seem like they will be, as will the U.S. edition of The Book of Monsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alcarin Posted February 3, 2016 I am having more and more problems with LEGO ways of minifigure counts, a figure without "proper" legs, for me is not a whole minifig.... I find it a cheap way to increase fig count without delivering figures, or they have too limited appeal and use in my armies or whatever. Only getting the soldier in the cheap set. Kingdoms helmet ftw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted February 3, 2016 So, the release date of book of monsters is 28 June. NOOO! I can't wait that long. I thought it was some time around February! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotMegalodon Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) In the Netherlands it's already released, so i guess it's a language/local publisher problem? "ordered before 23.00u today, delivered tomorrow": https://www.bol.com/...00000050381622/ They also have the English version, 3-4 workdays delivery: https://www.bol.com/...00000047815047/ I already own (well, my son ) The Dutch version of this activity book too: http://www.amazon.com/Activity-Book-With-Minifigure-Knights/dp/0545905842/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=09D01Y53HA22K80ND25W Edited February 3, 2016 by NotMegalodon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPLSTER21 Posted February 3, 2016 What's the best nexo knights summer set? I think that the summer sets (best to worst) are: 1. Axl's Tower Carrier. 2. Jestro's Volcano Castle. 3. Aaron's Aero Striker 2.0 4. Glob Lobber 5. Thunder Mace Axl set brings some very interesting things: Vehicle splitting function, the mobile tower/turret is great and the hidden catapult feature is also a neat function. The lava golem is a nice add in and looks really impressive - better than Sparkks in my opinion. And the price point, while on the higher end of the scale, is still in the realm of the reasonable. Was going to post set opinions, but I'm way late! Will wait to see the NYTF pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toth Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I am having more and more problems with LEGO ways of minifigure counts, a figure without "proper" legs, for me is not a whole minifig.... I find it a cheap way to increase fig count without delivering figures, or they have too limited appeal and use in my armies or whatever. Only getting the soldier in the cheap set. Kingdoms helmet ftw. Robots, little monsters, giants, snake tail figures, etc... offer a diversity of very different figures, to make it more interesting. All those figures you find "cheap" require more design work and new molds making them more expensive than a minifigure... So calling it "cheap" is not the right word... :) Look at a playtheme as a kid would do. Stop counting parts and looking if a figure got legs or not...Is the figure cool? Does it open imagination? is it never seen before? This are the good questions. Kids will remember it to you... Uniformity is the biggest ennemy of imagination.

This is exactly why I want to work for Lego! Well spoken Toth. I think far too often we forget that LEGO's prime consumer is children. LEGO does make things more aimed at adults i.e. architecture, but it's not about the TFOLs and the AFOLs. That is especially true with NexoKnights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
