Nexo Knights 2016

[Isundir]

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.

A lot of people kept mentioning that Castle 2013 flopped and the chances of this are slim, but honestly I would just love to see any kind of historical theme... and any kind of more Civilian sets, like MMV and MVR... there are all those City Modulars and I'd love to see Historical/Castle Modulars. Anything like that would be instant buy and potential multiples for me. If we just got one really nice big Historical set each year annually that would already be good.

From what I read and "seen" in this thread about Nexo knights, it really gives me a He-Man feel. Cant wait to get more info on this line and on the tv-show.

[Itaria No Shintaku]

Yes it has a He-Man feel, I agree.

[Daimar]

I thought that 70315 Clay's Blade Cruiser would be a flying vehicle, dont know why, I just had that impression. But CM4Sci debunked my theory with his drawing.

What about 70130 Knighton Disc Launchers, does Knighton (I am guessing thats a charakters name, but it could also be a title for the knights) have this kind of helmet http://vignette4.wik...=20120809014110 ?

Yes he has it in dark blue/ dark purple, but I believe it to be a placeholder.

[Itaria No Shintaku]

EXPECT a lot of new molds, useful for castle theme, but not directly.

EXAMPLE: 1x1x1/3 pyramid, no studs

[x105Black]

It didn't feel like He-Man to me. Someone said Warhammer 40k, and from the drawings I'd say it's closer to that.

Actually, it feels like Chima and Ninjago. Or, more accurately, it feels like Spyrius or RoboForce with a pseudo Castle skin.

I hope enough people buy this that the prices of individual parts stays low, but also that few enough people buy this that they decide to cancel it.

[CM4Sci]

Alright -

- Things I reported as dragons are actually flying robo-horses.

- There are a LOT of shields. They're really important. Two stud connectors on the top. They can double as hoveboards, too!

- What looks like the Hero Factory minifig armors was actually a stand-in for a new armor piece that has the circle things the Space Marine armor has, and a shield-shape in the middle with different decerations per minifigure, representing them?

- Mini spring shooters - new piece with a C shape on the end that can be held (used for a bow and arrow in Ultimate Aaron) and Chewie's TFA blaster appears again.. though I think it shoots the spring missle.

- Jestro has a crazy smile with lipstick, his colorscheme is red and purple, purple being the other side of his hat. The promo art shows him with a sort of curved upwards version of the normal jester hat.

- There's some sort of important book in two of the sets, a magic book I think is used to create monsters.

- The mini fire creatures are a new mold - crazy smiles, red, short, and have long ears drooping down. With a stud on top, you can put a flame on their head.

- Something called NEXO POWERS is mentioned in the Ultimate sets

- There will be an app where you can take a picture of any of the shields (Ultimate sets all come with like 4 unique ones) and that goes to some sort of game?

- Giant castle set is called 70317 Fortrex

- Bigfig in Fortrex is a good guy, he's a giant knight, according to the art. Bigger version of the minifig armor with smaller, Hulk-like arms. Looks really awesome in the promo art.

- Heroes each have a unique "visor" or helmet, I think. Macy has a new giant flume piece.

- I've got much better views of Chaos Catapult and the Moltor's Lava Launcher (will describe later)

- Return of those old giant blasters, in Fortrex.

- Flyer in Fortrex shoots discs with beast faces on them.

- There's a new slope piece used on Lance's Robo Horse, Ultimate sets, and maybe more.

- Big monster in Jestro set uses a new chest piece and has one eye. Lava all around.

- Giant sword in the logo is a piece

- Name of the wizard is Merlok, there's an app and on it is him, looks completely yellow/gold. Assuming he's the little hovering banner guy in the Fortrex set.

- Clay's Blade Cruiser actually has two spring shooters in the back.

- Ultimate boxes look similar to the recent Airjitzu boxes but way skinnier and smaller.

That's all I can see for now, maybe new stuff when I'm home later.

Feel free to share this stuff and ask questions. Don't ask for pics.

[8BrickMario]

This sounds great. I'm very glad that Merlok isn't blue in any way, and all the new parts sound very exciting. Hover-shields!

[Exetrius]

Magic books, new shields, new armor, new visors, presumable cool printed pieces useful for faction building, yes, Yes, YES!!! Thank you CM4Sci for providing this detailed information!

[Chimaninja454]

Interesting descriptions, but are the Ultimate sets figure packs?

[Dr_Chronos]

(Eh, whatever)

The Ultimate packs include the knights in ridiculously oversized armor, huge weapons, etc. I'm drawing them (won't post) but I'll describe them once I finish this one.

Interesting descriptions, but are the Ultimate sets figure packs?

In a way, yes.

[Wardancer]

From the perspective of a customizer, I think it is time to sharpen the scalpel.

As a huge Warhammer and 40K fan this does not remotely resemble 40K from what we've heard or seen.

[8BrickMario]

To me, It's Ninjago and Castle with a touch of The LEGO Movie. But it definitely doesn't resemble any previous medieval work I've ever heard of.

[x105Black]

Oh my. For the most part, this sounds horrible. Flying robo-horses? Lipstick on Jestro?

The shields sounds pretty cool, though. I just wonder if they will be in Trans Neon Red Orange... And hopefully the visors will not be too sci-fi or colorful to use with Castle themes.

I was hoping for cool new armor, but it doesn't sound too great. Sounds like Warhammer 40k. Then again, I'm not a fan of that either, so I may just be lumping it in because it sounds like big bulky sci-fi armor.

Thanks for sharing, CM4Sci. You're providing a much needed service.

[Isundir]

Hmm Hoverboard Shields and Magic Books sounds interesting, first things potential Library aside I've read that I like.

What exactly do you mean by Circle Things the Space Marine armour has though? The Body Armour molds?

On the armor design are circles with angled lines like a no smoking sign.

[Dr_Chronos]

I've gotta say, I'm pretty hyped for this. The castle-tank and chariot looks particularly interesting and these sets are so wacky they just might work.

Yep! Anytime. There is a silver shield with a neon orange 'front' so I'm guessing these will be dual molded.

[x105Black]

Does the armor you're talking about look like this (at least when it comes to the 'shield' pattern on the front)?

Are the visors like the ones from Knights Kingdom 2?

Ultimately, what I'd like to know: Are there any armor, helmets, visors, or other such items that don't look sci-fi, or that aren't in weird colors (like neon orange)?

[CM4Sci]

Man, we're not getting any normal castle stuff. I get you don't like it, lol.

Yeah that's the shape of the shield.

By the way, have the mods discussed whether or not posting drawings of things is ok?

[x105Black]

I haven't seen anything, but we probably shouldn't be discussing it yet.

Some of the pieces sound like they might be useful. From what I'm understanding, there's a lot of Dark Red? When you say the evil characters are red, you mean Red, not Dark Red, right?

Also, you mentioned that there would be a Chrome Silver sword. Are there any other Chrome parts you can see?

[CM4Sci]

The chrome sword is the sword that's always been chrome, the ones from the 80s I think. Bad guys are red red, there might be some dark red on the vehicles, but I'd have to check again.

[x105Black]

Could you describe the Robo Horse's helmet / head? Your drawing of it was quite interesting.
