Blister packs. The last time I was there they didn't have them on display and the other nearby Lego Store had them on 'clearance' for 20% but didn't pick them up then.

I had not thought about how closely they fit the show. In some respects I like the colored tiles to match the game powers but to have them all in the orange would have been cool too. The only thing that I don't like about the orange is that a lot of the prints don't seem to show up very well and seem a little washed out or overpowered by the orange underneath. Back on topic - heading out to Lego Store tonight to get the promo polybag. Will probably pick up something simple like one of the Action Suits. I thought about picking up just a Nexo Booster but I have purchased enough of those already and am hoping to get some trades to complete my collection. If they have them may pick up the army building sets. Was on the fence on them for a long time but now want to have the variant prints for both the good guys and bad for the collection.

Does anyone know why some shields are printed on orange tiles even though the powers are color specific? Just going through and organizing my shields to rescan in to the app and noticed this.

I think it might be fun to see some of the manifestations of Nexo powers realized in built models. I know there are a few who would like to see dragons in the line (I don't think there is a place for them personally) and there certainly is opportunity for a sea dragon or lava dragon or ice dragon. Ninja go had Cole's Dragon in a small $10 box so it wouldn't need to be any bigger than that. Others might be Hawk Holler or Chicken Power. They could be fun and crazy designs to reflect the silly nature of the powers themselves.

I wonder about parts like this and others on how they are designed as this one is pretty specific to achieving the goal in hand which is the capability to hold three shields at a time. I often wonder if the rest is just 'filler' so to speak in that they are just trying to add as much functionality into the part and let the community decide how to best take advantage of the new part as well as other designers. The connections and shapes certainly lends itself to creating some fairly organic shapes that can then be utilized with other brick building techniques that should open up a whole new Aden of model building. It is also cool that the part is so easily available and at what I think is a very affordable price and will continue to be readily available with another series of blind bag shields coming later this year. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have been fiddling around with the new Nexo power shield and seeing what might be able to create with it but the Brothers Brick has a really good article up with some other uses that I had not thought about. http://www.brothers-brick.com/2017/01/19/new-nexo-knights-nexogon-part-analysis-new-elementary-guest-post/

Yea, I guess I had forgotten about that one but that is the only one. Particularly when you compare to everyone else. One thing that I was curious about on Aaron's vehicle is the stud shooter on the gargoyle - is that in translucent blue or is that just the studs? Looking forward to the reviews.

I have heard the same thing regarding Clay's blade. Speaking of Clay I just noticed that out of all of the sets produced for Nexo Knights he never gets an alternate build for his weapon. Every set has just his standard blade while everyone else gets an alternate build for their signature weapon. You would think that being the main guy he would have a whole array of different or alternate weapons but considering he follows the Knight's Code maybe it is by choice.

Always interested in seeing reviews. I am more partial to the Shrunken Headquarters as I foresee it will be a long time before we see it here in the States and if I can get off of my lazy butt have been wanting to put it together from the parts and pieces I have laying around. Other than that come as they may. :)

Anybody pick up the promo item yet? Was hoping to go this week myself.

Perhaps in the Knighton Castle. Would be a good place similar to the Temple of Airjitzu.

Cool. What do sets like this typically entail or is this a first?

Found them! Thanks! Orbitrons - Series 4.

A question for everyone here. Recently picked up the Lego Store Batman promo batsignal (at first they wouldn't give it to my son even though he found all the Batman's and claimed he was too young - luckily came back to the store and met up with an employee who we know and he was nice enough to help us out) and I wanted to find out where the clear dome has appeared before. I have been looking for it on Bricklink but cannot find it readily and they don't have the part list up for the promo polybag as of yet. Any help? I would like to pick up a few of the domes for some stuff I am trying out.

Even though I am just getting back in to or in to Lego now I always view the sets that Lego produces as a starting poi.nt to springboard off of to make more to my own liking. On another note - with the imminent release of the Knighton Castle we are finally getting some location sets that could be really fun. Up to this point there really have not been too many locations to explore in the Nexo world but I think from what I have seen of the new season there are definitely some possibilities that could arise. With the stone gargoyles they are all at various locations so it would be nice to continue to see Lego develop the Knighton world. I know we are not getting any of these in sets based on the current proposed set list but I do like they are expanding the world.

Also, check Bricklink as they will typically note which set is relate to other sets such as the example you gave. Not sure how they will handle the Action sets for this year as I believe any of the Action sets can be connected to any of the part outs from the individual Nexo Knight sets.

Cool. Is this from sort of season 3 promo? Looks like forbidden powers on his bracelet. I wonder what new tidbits will come out of the Book of Monstrux coming out later this year.

@NotMegalodon The only reason that was fresh in my mind was that my son woke up one day and said he wanted to watch Nexo Knights so I put on the last two episodes and this popped up. It was fresh in my mind that he had made a brief appearance on the show.

This was the best I could do: At around 1:55 Monstrux is shown and while he is a depicted a little bit bigger than a regular minifigure he does have the appearance of a 'regular' human. At least to me. At this point it would appear he has been corrupted which would give him his evil look. Or perhaps he is something else entirely since at one time there were monsters that roamed the land of Knighton. Along with the Fortrex and Jestro's Lair the Knighton Castle is certainly another flagship set in the Nexo world and that I would like to see explored more as they move forward (or if they do). Still would like to see Knighton Academy which could be another big set.

That would be nice but considering Jestro's Lair was only 40 more pieces than the Fortrex but $20 more it makes me wonder. A normal Jestro would be great to get. I am wondering if the stone colossus is perhaps some sort of stone monster that is summoned utilizing the forbidden power shields. Once they are all collected it would release him. It would be great to get Monstrux at some point and I imagine we will once he takes human (Lego?) form and wonder if he would be a brick built figure similar to Burnzie and the others and not a regular minifigure scale. New sets finally appearing at my local Target store. Didn't pick up any but nice to see them on display.

Relooking at the numbers again I am wondering if Macy's vehicle will be an exclusive which would make this wave a very small, albeit expensive release. Currently 70358 and 70359 are both exclusives (Lance and Aaron sets) with 70360 not having any information as of yet but could also conceivably be an exclusive set as well. That would make Macy's set (70361) an exclusive if the numbering follows 2016 conventions.

Yes thanks for passing on the information. Looks like a big wave as far as price goes. Was hoping we would get another low key release but it doesn't appear that way. A couple of missing numbers so perhaps a couple of exclusives? Also, no $10 set listed curious about any specialty character release ala Ultimates and Action sets Off the bat the Stone Colossus of Ultimate Destruction immediately caught my eye. Heligoyle sounds interesting as well as does Aaron's Rock Climber. Will be interesting to see Knighton Castle and what is included with that. Bummed that Macy gets another $20 set for her vehicle although the bot drop portion sounds like it could be fun. Sounds like hers may be the only flier of the wave as well Lance got two sets this wave and since we already were getting the stone smasher for Aaron now wasn't his 'official' vehicle not too surprised to see another one for him. Looking forward to pics as well since I have been super jazzed about this wave.

Great thread an hope that everyone else can post their want and trade lists here as well. In order to get some sort of system since I don't know the names of the powers I thought I would just refer to the shields by their color designation (B, G, W, R, or Y) and what order in the checklist they are from left to right. So, Hawk Holler would be B1 and so forth. With that being said here is what I have to trade: B4,B7; G4,G7; W1, W3; R2,R6; Y3,Y7 Here is what I am looking for: B5; G1,G2; W2; R5; Y1,Y5,Y6 Thanks all and I hope to hear from other enthusiasts.

I agree - the 'portal' portion looks like it is or should be part of a larger build. Perhaps a ruined city of forbidden knowledge and magic.

I am surprised at how small the horse is for this. I figured it was much larger - not quite to the scale of the mecha horse but a little smaller. This seems to scale for an actual horse. Cool build either way. Thanks.
