CM4Sci Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 How much will the ultimate sets cost? If it's just a figure with a large backpack ,than I'm not paying more than 5 dollars for each. They're $10 sets that include the knights with the giant weapons, and a stand with two extra training-ish things on the sides. Each set comes with 3 exclusive shields, so that's 18 exclusive shields in these Ultimate sets, neat! Quote
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Don't they also have large contraptions on their backs as well? If so, giant weapons along with said contraptions? Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Don't they also have large contraptions on their backs as well? If so, giant weapons along with said contraptions? Yeah, that's what I meant. Give me a minute, a couple of the Ultimate sets were in one of the trailers. Quote
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah, I saw two of them, Lance and Clay. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I got to say, I didn't think I was going to be into this theme. I was hoping I wasn't going to be into this theme (more for the sake of saving money than anything ). But now I've seen most of the sets, I actually like some of them and the slew of new parts has definitely got my interest (please, LEGO, fix your shoddy BnP service so I can actually buy some of these new parts in useful quantities without the high BL markup that'll be tagged to them! ). I'm personally quite pleased that the Constraction mace half comes in trans-orange, and I could have really done with that trans-orange and black fractured polygon piece when I was trying to build myself an enormous Balrog a year or so ago. It's like LEGO are taunting me sometimes I know that most of the bad guy sets are must-buys for me as they do look truly monstrous (and I like that sort of design), but I can't really get into the good guy vehicles for some reason. The blue and TNRO combo seems to really hurt my eyes Even so, with LEGO sets seemingly improving in design year on year and more and more interesting new moulds being released that I could potentially find a place for in my MOC'ing collection, next year is going to make me very broke indeed. Time to get a better paid job methinks! But I have a question: is that a torso without arms on the Axl minifigure? I'm betting that the torso is permanently attached to the big shoulder armour, but if not - seems very odd to have a torso without arms in a set. Quote
Rayskull Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I'd like to hear an interview with the designer about some of the designs here. I feel like the designer really hit the FUN button here. I've always had a thing for Classic Space and Classic Castle, I never thought they'd be blended into something so interesting. An aside: I had a mini Lego renaissance about seven years ago, I was enjoying the excellent submarine theme then. At that time I was about to get my first Castle set in 15 yrs (7079). Things didn't go well that year. This new line is coming during much better times for me. Looking forward to 2016 Castle! That's craziness right there lol! Is that a unicorn?...attached to his back? OK I get it the Unicorn is not included. Edited October 12, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 It's funny, I could easily see Jestro's side (because their Demons riding Lava monsters) in fantasy Castle, but the only way I can see the Nexo Knights in Castle, is if their Aliens who landed on earth, I even have a made up story that could work to have Nexo Knights in Castle In a lot of Lego stories the worlds are connected and this story is no different, the Story begins like this, Once Upon a time there was a peaceful land with a good King and a good Queen and they were fair and just rulers and all the subjects of the kingdom were happy, but there was one particular person who's job brought him great joy and his name was Jestro, for Jestro's job was to bring happiness to the King and Queen, So bringing joy to them made him really happy, now Wizard Merlok had made a prophesy, that one day invaders from the sky would come and the peace of the land would be no more. The King and Queen dismissed this story as rambling of an old man, so Merlok started to leave the Castle, just about when he reached the exit, He saw Jestro and he told Jestro "should the invaders come and if I am no were to be found, go into my library and use the forbidden book", Jestro Promised and Merlok left, a few months pass and everything was right with the kingdom, until one day, strange lights from the sky appeared, then creatures in Armor with strange lights attacked, some riding flying metal monsters with glowing eyes, the knights fought against the creatures but they were no match for them and their weapons of light that could cut through seemingly anything, Jestro seeing this ran to warn the King and Queen, but when Jestro got there it was to late, for one of the creatures clad in gold had killed the King and Queen, and had captured Merlok. Merlok seeing Jestro told him to run, so Jestro ran and he kept running until he reached Merlok's library, there he found the forbidden book, and just when he was about to open it, the book spoke to him, saying to Jestro " Mortal, If you intend to use me, we first must make a pact, But I warn you that the price to use me, is to become Evil Incarnate, Do you agree to the terms of the pact", Jestro not seeing any other way to fight the invaders ,agreed, the book cackled, then said "The pact is done" ,then a dark evil power swept over Jestro, Transforming him, Jestro now transformed, holding the book stepped outside, then Said " Okay book let's see what you can really do" , the earth began to shake and fiery pits opened up, armies of Demons and Lava monsters crawled out, then stood before Jestro and said how may we serve you my lord, Jestro replied " I think it's time to take back the kingdom and have some fun" and so began the story of Jestro ,Nexo Knights, and for those of you who were wondering, what happend to Merlok, His mind was downloaded into the Nexo Knight library, and his body was put into stasis. P.S.While I may not think of this theme as Castle( at least the Nexo Knights half), I will be buying a lot of the sets, pretty much, all of Jestro's team ( I've always been a fan of villains), Fortrex and the add-on and maybe the kings mech.

Rayskull Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The studs on the back make wonderful storage for weapons and shields according to the trailor. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Gah, LEGO took down my imgur uploads. So if any of you haven't seen the sets anywhere, you'll have to find them somewhere else. Edited October 13, 2015 by CM4Sci Quote
BrickJagger Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Gah, LEGO took down my imgur uploads. So if any of you haven't seen the sets anywhere, you'll have to find them somewhere else. Knew it. TTV has all of the pictures, and Brickset has them all except for the Mech, Giant Lava Monster, and Library. Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I don't understand why all of the pics were pulled though. I get the licensed stuff, but why are tooth monsters considered so important? Everyone's already seen them anyway, so pulling them down is pointless to me. However, I am glad I decided to save this time. I can't stop looking at these sets! Quote

I saved them :D Hey where did you see the video with the ultimate versions, I can't seem... If Lance's video is to be believed, his Robo horse is super sleek in bike mode. The head folds back and wheel folds forward. I have no idea what the arms and legs are supposed to do. Edited October 13, 2015 by Rayskull Quote

BrickJagger Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Guys: Save the pictures onto your computers if you want them. Lego is taking them down. I don't think there is need for that. They are everywhere now Where has LEGO requested to take them down? I'm sure the only one they'll request across themes is the Episode VII one. Knew this would happen, although I don't know why Lego wants them taken down. The target audience doesn't care/know about leaks anyways, and no clone brand could replicate a product in less than a month. Quote

It's impossible to take all of them down. That's why I said that there was no need to save them. Edited October 13, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm looking at the set list, and there isn't an ultimate lance, even though it's in the trailer. Is there one? Quote

Rayskull Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 So Lances Robot Horse: -Horse head reveals a windshield and swings back with the chest Wheel swinging forward. -The hooves fold. -Back legs point back. -Front legs fill out sides. *Should look like a chima animal themed bike. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 As I write this I'm watching the possible reason why Nexo Knights is being done.......Wakfu, which is semi-sci-fi semi-fantasy super powers crazy stuff for kids. It must be a new marketing ploy by TV networks and toy companies, medieval fusion sci-fi to excite the kids ! Plus now I'm glad that this theme is in action forum now. Quote

TheOneVeyronian Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Can anyone tell me if Axl's torso (underneath the big, chunky armour/upper torso/arms) is actually an armless torso, or is it permanently connected to the chunky armour? The printing on it suggests they are separate parts, but it's giving me a right headache trying to work out if the two parts are separate or not Will we not know until somebody here has actually got hold of the figure? Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 They probably wouldn't make an armless torso, so I think it's a faux-torso molded into the armor. Quote
gedren_y Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Or the armor is anchored into the torso with arm pins. It looks flexible enough for that. Quote
