x105Black Posted August 13, 2016 Someone posted this in the 2016 thread, but I thought I'd respond to it in the 2017 thread where it belongs. Sorry about the double post, hopefully the other post gets moved in here between my posts. Action Macy, Aaron, Axl & Lance are they sets or something similar to the ultimates? My guess is constraction (if I'm being pessimistic). My optimistic guess is something more like the Ultimates, but it sounds like there's some sort of play feature. I wonder if these are the sets where they have the space suits we've been hearing about, and other sets will have them in a similar style to the normal sets.

Space Police XVIII Posted August 13, 2016 I missed out on Power Miners but those monsters were awesome, I'm hoping we'll get similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPLSTER21 Posted August 13, 2016 Here's a list of Nexo Knights sets for next year: They now all have big spacesuits 70363 Action Macy 70364 Action Aaron 70365 Action Axl 70366 Action Lance 70347 bike from the Kings soldiers 9.99 70348 lances cruiser 19.99 70349 ruinas vehicle 19.99 70351 Clays blaster-jet 49.99 70352 Jestros monstrous monster.vehicle 99.99 Triple-Rocker 32,99 this is an stone eating monster What do you guys think? Action could be ultimates or a whole new concept! It sounds very interesting! Thanks for the set list/names. I'm surprised that this wave is so small given that Nexo Knights is supposed to be getting a big push as a BB theme. Set names (if those names are correct) don't really give anything away other than there appears to be one impulse set, 2 small sets, 2 medium sets and 1 large set. I'm guessing the list is incomplete and will be rounded out by another couple of sets the same way as the first wave of sets where the library and large lava monster sets were revealed a month after the initial list leaked.

NotMegalodon Posted August 13, 2016 The episode "The Maze of Amazement". You mean this one? I don't think it'll be in a set, it was only a mirage in a magic maze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenPlays Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Maybe monstrox has an important role for this next wave of sets? There's a very deceptive cliche that is present in both reading media, and the TV show that point out that Monstrux is very much important to this year's sets (2016). In fact, if the cliche is implying what it seems, we already have Monstrux in set form... You mean this one? I don't think it'll be in a set, it was only a mirage in a magic maze. *snip* I mean technically, it already has. It's based on the mold used for Geolix and Tremorox in Power Miners.

NotMegalodon Posted August 13, 2016 So it's probably a reference to the power miner, just like there are a lot of other references in the tv show, like Ninjago, the black knight from monty python, marty mcfly / micheal fox, and probably a lot more i didn't get.

BrickJagger Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks for the set list/names. I'm surprised that this wave is so small given that Nexo Knights is supposed to be getting a big push as a BB theme. Summer 2016 5 Retail Sets 1 Retail Exclusive 4 Ultimate Sets Total: 10 Winter 2017 5 Retail Sets 1 Retail Exclusive 4 Action Sets Total: 10 As you can see, the last two waves of Nexo Knights have been virtually identical, and I suspect more sets/polybags will be revealed soon, making it bigger than Summer 2016. When the first set list leaked last August, there were only six regular January sets listed. We ended up with eleven. There has to be some sort of catch with these Rock Monsters. Wonder what it could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clayko Posted August 13, 2016 I wonder if the 'Nexo Power' colour will stay trans-orange, or if they will change it to another trans colour to represent an "upgrade". That could be quite a cool way to distinguish between years as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPLSTER21 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Maybe Nexo Knights is not performing to expectations? *shrugs* Dunno. I don't think Lego has commented on how the line is doing. TLG likely had at least 4 waves (2 years) of sets already in the can (i.e. prototypes and moulds done). Even if it was doing badly, however many sets they designed for this wave will be the number that they release. As you can see, the last two waves of Nexo Knights have been virtually identical, and I suspect more sets/polybags will be revealed soon, making it bigger than Summer 2016. When the first set list leaked last August, there were only six regular January sets listed. We ended up with eleven. Yup. And the summer wave was kind of small compared to Wave 1. I mentioned that it's likely that a few more sets will be revealed as time goes on. Also due to the fact that there are some "holes" in the set lineup. I just noticed that set 70350 is missing (maybe that's "Triple Rocker"?) and there should be a set that slots in price-wise between Clay's Jet and Jestro's Vehicle.

samurai-turtle Posted August 14, 2016 Something I noticed about the first wave of the "Ultimate Sets". That only Clay & Arron have not gone on any clearance, so I am wondering if those two were selling better that the other four sets. As for the "rock monsters": Infernox captures the Queen should tell you something if you know any history about LEGO. (Even it is just an Easter egg.)

Amazing Bricks Posted August 17, 2016 I've been thinking about it, the rock monsters don't seem like they would last that long. Maybe just for the one wave and something else for the summer wave. If they are going to space, they might be going up against meteors. Talking meteors, imagine that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted August 17, 2016 If they are going to space, they might be going up against meteors. Talking meteors, imagine that. Considering everything else in the Nexo Knights universe, I wouldn't be surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect that from here on out each villain faction will get one wave.

If they are going to space, they might be going up against meteors. Talking meteors, imagine that. Well, considering they use magic, why not? Some kind of meteor spell could do the trick. That's what I figured, Chima did the same thing in 2014. I suspect that from here on out each villain faction will get one wave. Winter 2017: Rock Monsters Summer 2017: New faction Winter 2018: New faction #2 Summer 2018: New faction #3 (Final boss villains) That sounds good to me, i really hope there will be pirate/sea monsters, as well as forest/swamp monsters.

BrickJagger Posted August 24, 2016 Yeah, I like the sound of that. 2018 might be the end of nexo knights. That's what I figure as well, unless it sells well enough to continue, which is possible but not likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted August 24, 2016 Unless Nexo Knights has far exceeded expectations (which I haven't seen anything to indicate). I imagine they'll just stick with a three-year plan. Chima managed to last three years, but I don't think it was such a resounding success that they'd lengthen their forecast for this theme. Also, if Nexo Knights is in fact being treated as the current iteration of Castle, Castle has been on a three-year renewal cycle for years now. We might get some more insight into how Nexo Knights is performing next month when the the LEGO Group's interim report is released. Overall, though, there's a lot of potential the theme could explore in three years. I certainly don't see it becoming evergreen like Ninjago did. Ninjago was an extraordinary case.

Well, Ninjago only really took off in its second year (resulting in LEGO being unready to continue it and the gap necessitating the Rebooted series), so I'd wait until then to make my prediction, to be honest.

Amazing Bricks Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah, I think year 2 is the make or break year. Chima started having a lot of clearance stock that year. Definitely the defining year. Well, if nexo ends earlier than expected, a new castle theme is expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
