Is Ninjago a Kingdom? Does it have Knights?

stoners

^ Lotr as a theme ended in June 2013, and even if Lego decided to make MT it wouldn't come out until next year. Not counting the Hobbit, three years.

I think he has a 2012 Garmadon-like piece under the armor, he looks almost twice as big as Lance.

Didn't see your post, I was responding to SirBlake. Sorry 'bout that.

^ We could keep it here and make a "Future Castle Sets?" topic, that way all of the regular Castle fans could ignore the Nexo topic and just post there, like I do with the Lotr thread. We should probably stop talking about this though, as this was why the topic was locked before (I think). So, favorite set so far?

D2C was already in the works. Don't see the same thing happening with Minas Tirith and Lotr, though. There won't be any interest for a theme that didn't sell that well and has been gone for three years.

"Boys love the iconic knight-themed models with tech upgrades". Lyichir makes a good point, though.

I'm talking about the Castle in the background, not Fortrex. I'll go ahead and assume you haven't found the other pictures yet.

There was terrain in almost every Chima set, and looking at the actual box images, even though they are small, I see terrain. There's also what looks to be a cottage behind the chariot and a Castle behind the Robo-Horse.

Not sure if they're quite bigfigs, but the guy in the lava launcher and the knight with the bull emblem seem to be larger than the others.

Whelp, Lego refers to it as a "Knight theme with tech upgrades" or something like that (forgot what the exact quote was), so I think they intend for it to be a Castle theme. The Castle behind the Robo Horse looks like a real Castle to me....

All of the set names are different, they might be the European names.

Has anyone seen full images of the Castle/Jestro set?

Just saw the pictures............ Thoughts: Knighton Disc Launchers: Mohawk Lava Monster looks cool. That seems to be a crossbow he's holding. The disc launcher looks more futuristic than the others, but still alright. 6/10. Chaos Catapult: No clue what's happening here, but there's nothing futuristic is this set, and there seem to be tons of useful lava parts. 8/10. Lance's Robo Horse: Looks great. Lance could fit in with the crownies by the looks of it. The horse itself is.... unique, and I'm pleased to see that the Robo-Knight has regular legs. There's also a mohawk guy in this one, they seem to be the foot soldiers and should great for army building. 8/10. Moltor's Lava Launcher: No idea. The green knight looks pretty cool, and I can vaguely make out a bigfig, who is probably Moltor. Vehicle is strange, might not get this one. 5/10 Beast Master's Chariot: AMAZING. The lava-fantasy pod-racer idea is perfectly pulled off here, and the flying horse looks compact and neat. There seems to be a function at the controls of the chariot that pull a chain which in turn opens one of the mouths, creating a snapping effect. Beast Master himself could be integrated into FE, and I have no clue who the red knight is. 9/10 Clay's Blade Cruiser: Pretty nice. Not too keen on Clay's visor, but the Robo Knights look good, as does the lava monster (frankly, all of the lava monsters look good ) The classic silver sword is a nice homage to the older Castle themes. 7/10. Jestro: Best Castle villan of all time. Hands down. 11/10. It seems like Jestro stole some of Merlock's magic books from the library and used it to summon some Lava monsters. P.S: Lego's description of the theme refers to them as lava monsters (It also refers to this theme as a Castle theme), so that's what we'll call them. Did anyone notice the big building behind the Robo-Horse? Wonder what that is.....

I had a Yankees logo for obvious reasons, until SirBlake and I made a bet over Nexo Knights. I said that it would be more realistic, he said it would be crazy. He was right, and I realized that right after I saw the Lava-Podracer-Thing. So, therefore, Bow down to the mighty Tony Romo.

Welcome George.

Lost a bet with SirBlake.

Are these the official ones?

Batman,

Copper would look nice.

Dooooon't talk about changing the thread in any way. The mods are really touchy about that, and we don't want this topic locked again. Also, relax. There will almost certainly be a "real" Castle theme (A second one to the rest of us) during Nexo Knight's run, to cater to people like yourself.

28 figs in 8 sets= 3.5 mini figures per set. (13 good, 15 bad) Regular sets only, the last three years: The 2013 line had 4.6. The 2011 line had 4.0. The 2010 line had 4.2. Overall, this line underperforms mini figure-wise, and there doesn't seem to be a clear army builder. I didn't count the flag and barrel for obvious reasons. I think the reason that those are included in the fig count is because they are some sort of MacGuffins that are highlighted to show their importance. Just a thought. Sci, do the "Big guys" appear to be non-human, like lava golems? Are the fire creatures smaller versions of the Big Guys?

Catapult and Disc Launcher still haven't been done. Do the knights have torsos? How many androids would you say there are?
