Okay, I just built the Mystery Machine. Very nice, very detailed and with a great parts selection. The stickers where remarkably easy to apply, although that might just be me. I did notice that there was a spare pneumatic tube. Is there any particular reason for this? Do they break more often than other parts? It seems strange to include a spare for such a large part.

Hopefully. I wonder if they'll try to make Axl's bot(s) larger than the others.

Better yet, a robot cow. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Judging by the ambiguous creature with three tooth discs also visible in the picture, it seems more generally swamp-themed than focused on plants and fungi alone.

I think they'd be little bug-eyed creatures of similar size to scurriers, but with thinner bodies and minifig-hand-bar-sized arms, plus big wings and maybe oversized fly-like halteres made from ball joints. The Globlin equivalent would just be a ball of rotting swamp matter.

Since some people are afraid of spiders, which are pretty much the arthropod equivalent to a dog, I wouldn't dismiss the idea that some people are afraid of plants (or fungi, or possibly swamp creatures in general) so easily. Also, one of the characters we've seen so far seems to be based on a plant known for smelling like rotten flesh to attract flies. Also, I love the idea of a Nexo Knights chess set. I doubt we'll get one this year, though. Maybe next year. If so, I hope the edges are decorated with moss and stuff on the swamp side, and maybe they could replace the white tiles with sand green and the black ones with dark green on that half of the board?

If he had hit them with the blade, the sword aspect would have been relevant. As it is, he crashed between them, hitting them with either side of the hilt,

He crashed into them at a relatively low speed, plus they both seemed to be significantly more massive than the plane and without the density-reducing measures a vehicle needs to be capable of flight. It'd be like trying to knock over an elephant by hitting it with a lion.

I figure the orange and black Globlins are supposed to fill that role, to be honest. It's remarkable how many variations of Globlin we have. There are only six in the Chaos Chariot, yet we have five variations that I can see (three red, two orange).

Yeah, so far we have 8 Globlins (2 of which are from Ultimate Beast Master) and 3 Scurriers if you get all the sets. Really hoping Jestro's castle has only four or so minifigures so that it can include a suitable horde of minions instead. I figure one minifigure = 3 Globlins, so based on other sets in the same price range, it could have up to 15 Globlins. If we don't end up having more than 10 Globlins in regular, non-Ultimate sets, I'm going to order a horde of them via Bricks and Pieces.

Kind of annoyed at how instantly Clay trounced the two strongest mooks in the bunch. Here's hoping Lavaria turns out to be more competent when she shows up.

That actually sounds pretty good. Too bad I won't be able to get it.

Huh. Based on the picture from the book, I thought the connected globlins kind of melted into one when forming a bloblin rather than just sticking together.

First page with a unique monster (that they show) and I'm already in love. That is some great art. And there are definitely a few concepts in there that could work with Mushlord. I'm wondering if this book is intended to cover the entirety of Nexo Knights monsters (or at least the first three years). And it's nice to see that the Book of Monsters knows the value of Mooks, even if it doesn't have the patience for Jestro's posing. Plus, we get a name for the Chaos Chariot's super-globlins: bloblins! Plus, we get a Monty Python reference with Whiparella. And why I am I not surprised to see a list of what Whiparella keeps in her closet?

A hagfish would make more sense than a gerbil (replace a hagfish's slime with magma and you already have a very fearsome creature), but that weird gerbil-chomper thing looks quite vicious, all things considered. I would prefer the ant-like creature over the gerbil, although I wish we'd get a little more variety in the arthropod-based monsters department. Why not an assassin bug? They look significantly more unique and interesting than the umpteenth fly, ant or mantis. Even an earwig or silverfish would be nice.

In that case, I cannot help you. Check if all the parts are correctly aligned and are completely pressed down and if the problem persists, please take a picture,

It gets stuck, but that is intentional. After pushing the disc halfway through the brick, it's in the "ready" position. This is done to allow it to store up force. A little push should allow it to work. I got this set on christmas as well and noticed the same, so I assume that's what your problem is. If not, please describe your problem in more detail or take a picture.

Yeah, I've heard of Nurgle. But with bulbous and disease-based, I was thinking more like a warped version of Mixels rather with lots of protrusions and stuff to form seats and weapons, all in a suitable color scheme (maybe sand blue with lavender and sand green accents?) rather than an accurate-looking depiction.

Definitely Grievous, if you can get him.

Oh, I can imagine disease-themed monsters quite well; I've seen a lot of designs based around them. Rather than spikes, I'd give them a bulbous texture like they're covered in boils or something. Maybe with a modular build so that they can split up into several smaller ones; in-show they'd be composed of actual bacteria and the like banding together in the billions, allowing them to travel quickly as a layer of sludge.

Nice one!

If we're going into typical fantasy monster territory, I'd like some proper, creative, monstrous vampires, possibly animal-based.

I can see her capturing one of Jestro's minions actually. And you've got to look your best when interrogating prisoners. If you act like you don't even need armor to deal with them and can just wear your dress clothes, you've got a bit of an intimidation factor.

Thanks!

So I went to place an order at the Bricks and Pieces service that is normally found in the same place as the replacement parts and missing parts services, when I found that it's suddenly not there anymore. Does anyone know where it can be found?
