Sir von Lego Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Hi, Did anyone hear about a new theme called "Space knights"? My local retailer told me about this new Space theme to come in 2016. It will play in a far away Century, no more details Right now... What do you think about it? Greetings. Hendrik Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 They were probably referring to the new Castle theme being discussed here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=105102&st=0 Evidently it will be steampunky and fantasy related. This is likely why they called it "Space Castle." As a fan of both Sci-fi and Castle/fantasy, I will be sure to check the theme out. Would a Mod like to merge the topics? I think they're the same. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
danth Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Holy crap, this sounds interesting. EDIT: It would be funny if it were true. I always assumed Lego didn't want to do Space lines anymore because it would cannibalize Star Wars sales. But Space Knights, huh. That sounds even closer to Star Wars.

Or what about another spin like preastronautic/archeoastronautic "Daniken-like" theme where there would be actual Castle HARD-MIXED with Space (tho I am not able to come up with any trivia at all at the moment that could give it some background story )?

Isundir Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Did anyone hear about a new theme called "Space knights"? My local retailer told me about this new Space theme to come in 2016. It will play in a far away Century, no more details Right now... That really sounds (too) close to Star Wars, but indeed he probably means the new 'Castle' theme with 'Steampunk Elements' that has been rumored... well it doesn't really matter to me personally I'm both a Sci-Fi and a Castle fan so I'll be looking forward to this either way.

Umbra-Manis Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Sounds like a wallet eater either way to me! I love castle and Sci-Fi! Quote
Mr Meleca Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I disagree about the cannibalism Star Wars and Space lived together for years, space police is the example I remember now. Also, with EPVII on the horizon and the GREAT expectations about it, I think is possible to have the 2 lines together Quote
Sinthoras Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Perhaps it is something like the Loony Luna Knights. I almost didn't find them again: http://news.lugnet.com/events/brickfest/?n=3470 Quote
obsidianheart Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Perhaps it is something like the Loony Luna Knights. I almost didn't find them again: http://news.lugnet.c...ickfest/?n=3470 I've never seen that photo gallery before, but it's nice to finally find out where Squidman from Space Police 3 came from. Also, that red robot in Galaxy Squad's head design. Quote
Artanis I Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Maybe so. Holy crap, the hungry hippos are amazing! Quote
BrickJagger Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 OK, I was told that this new theme is Castle with heavy steampunk. Futuristic, but no Spaceships or anything. I'd say that this theme is 80 percent Castle, 20 percent Steampunk. I think we should merge this. Nothing new here. Quote

Those who want to continue the discussion though, can do so in the castle forum. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Robert8 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) What are the chances "Space Knights" is some sort of code name for the new Castle theme? I disagree about the cannibalism Star Wars and Space lived together for years, space police is the example I remember now. Also, with EPVII on the horizon and the GREAT expectations about it, I think is possible to have the 2 lines together But, for the first time is almost a decade, there is a new Star Wars movie coming Edited July 31, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Maybe the theme will be called Astro Knights. Edited July 31, 2015 by amazingbricks Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 It might be that it's actually called something like "Stellar Knights" - where the "space" part of the name is actually supposed to mean impressive - and "Space Knights" was just a simple mistranslation. Quote
ZCerberus Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 No need to merge two conjecture threads right now. Not proof they are the same, or either exists. Continue wild speculation until something real is known. Quote
Only Sinner Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I would like something more along the lines of a Gundam style theme with heroes in hardsuits. Quote
jonwil Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Something that mixes both Space AND Castle? Sign me up please :) Quote
___ Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Something that mixes both Space AND Castle? Sign me up please :) Actually in case they - TLG - won't do it then I will like do it myself at least virtually creating me a new pseudo space/castle subtheme...now gotta find a good name for it! Quote
Robert8 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) This mystery was solved today.... The new theme is called Nexo Knights Apparently it will be a Castle/Space Edited August 6, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
Robert8 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 WHAA!? Cool! Where's the info? Here! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113092 Quote
