I must not be seeing what you're seeing.  But I'd love to see some Tighty Knighties minifigures.

Ooops sorry, must have been wishfull thinking on my side. Sorry for the confusion.

I’ll give this to Nexo Knights colors - when they decide on a rigid color scheme for character vehicles, boy do they stick to it, with varying degrees of success. The theme for this year is gold, which means we get dark blue, trans neon orange, gold, and whatever the main color for the knight is. When we first started, all vehicles shared just the blue, trans neon orange, and a hint of silver. Now, with four prominent colors to display, things start getting a bit messy, as we can see with any of Aaron’s recent vehicles (lime green really does not go well at all with the previous colors). Clay’s, on the other hand, fare better, as blue goes relatively well with dark blue and neon orange. Honestly, the worst thing about the new sets is the gold - it doesn’t seem to fit at all with the aesthetic and other colors.

I dunno, I like the color schemes. It's worth noting that the colors shared by all the knights haven't actually gotten too much more complex, since they used to all share both Earth Blue and Bright Blue. As of this year, the latter has mostly disappeared except for from vehicles that are not aligned with any individual knight, to make way for Bright Orange being added and the knights' main colors to become more prominent. If anything, I actually prefer the replacement of Bright Orange with Warm Gold in next year's sets—I feel like it looks a lot better as its own color, rather than seeming like a somewhat poor match to the Trans. Fluor. Reddish Orange.

Tech Wizard showdown looks awesome, but is that pretty much the same build for clays smaller mech as the 10 dollar ones from this year just with gold added? Monstrox looks awesome along with Clay's orange nexo arm. Glad Robin is a full on knight, hopefully that means Ava will be as well? I'm just hoping for some type of vehicle or mech for ava since Robin already has gotten a good amount

All those sets look like AMAZING partpacks for space fans :D

For instance, 72004 Tech Wizard Showdown comes with the "Nexogon" shield in Bright Blue on the chest of Clay's mech! 

Edit: Wait a minute, is the "Nexogon" actually Dark Azure instead?

The villain sets look great, the color scheme is very striking and they look really evil. Can't wait to get a better look at those.

But the hero sets, while a bit better than last year, continue to look spectacularly messy and bizarre... Aaron's plane is a very cool design but it has too many competing colors on it to make sense to me. I'm kind of sad that hasn't been sorted out.

These are all released on November 27th, right? I thought it said so on the back of the December calendar. Just wondering, since these all look like they are worth buying after x-mas

That monstrux looks pretty creepy. I like most of these sets. I like how they included clays special arm. Little details like this make me like Lego even more

Monstrux looking creepy is really fitting for him

Does anyone else think robin’s eyes look green?

Thanks for the pictures, @Penkid11 !

In the above image on the far right, it looks like Lance is fighting a green and black monster with wings. Perhaps a preview of the summer wave?

[NotMegalodon]

Nice find @BrickJagger, but a lot of villians from the game never made it to the real sets. So we can only know for sure when ( or if ) the summer wave hits.

[Backgild]

I like that Robin is now a full sized figure, but I'm disappointed that he doesn't have a unique helmet or any new torso or leg printing.  It's especially surprising given that he seems to have his own Merlock power just like the other knights. 

As for the wave as a whole, I love the Nexo Knights theme, but his wave is my least favorite, yet.  The villain vehicles are great, but the villains themselves aren't as appealing as the lava and rock/lightning monsters, and the gold accents for the knights just don't work for me.  However, I think this is the best yet as far as my 6 and 7 yo are concerned.  They both love Clay's mech suit, and the inclusion of both Monstrux and Merlock makes it a must-buy for them.

Just picked up the Tech Wizard Showdown from my local TRU - it was the only 2018 set they had out. I’m writing up a review right now!

It's a 2017 monster that's been retextured to look like he's from the 2018 wave. Nothing special.

 

Also, has anyone noticed that the Merlok powers correspond to the Knight's (and Merlok's) weapons?

[Rayskull]

Friends where's the link with the pics?

[ZORK64]

I'm also not too big on all the gold. It especially irks me in regards to the armor piece of the Nexo Knights - the piece itself looks great, but I wish it'd be done in silver rather than gold.

Still, I think I'll get Berserker Bomber and Clay's Mechsuit from this wave. They look the most appealing to me in terms of design and parts selection.

[Rayskull]

Is it a secret?  I backtracked and I don't see a link?

Is the monstrux piece printed?

[Aardvark17]

Everyone seems to be happy about Clay's magic arm, but I'm kinda disappointed to be honest. I don't know how it is in the show, but just having one arm be orange doesn't feel magic to me. Wish they had done half of it trans-neon orange, or something like on this Cole minifig

Is the "Nexogon" shield on the front of the mech's chest Bright Blue or Dark Azure?

Hopefully that armor piece, as well as many of the other minifigure components introduced in this theme, will find their way into other sets recolored after the theme inevitably wraps up.

I don't mind the gold armor but the trans orange facemasks are terrible. If they were gold they would be very solid minifigures.

I think you're right.  I complained about the gold, but that isn't the problem per se.  I'd really like the figures if they had gold visors.  I'm not sure what color to use for the vehicles, though.

Guys, how are you seeing the sets?

I have looked everywhere. Can't find them as well.
