x105Black Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Having finally seen the Robohorse/cycle, put me down for #team lance Lance is the best knight, the Robo-Horse is the worst set! Quote
ChristopheQ Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Lance is the best knight, the Robo-Horse is the worst set! And here started the schism within #teamLance... Edited November 14, 2015 by ChristopheQ Quote
Kaanere Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Who cares about the knights? Whiparella for the WIN!! Lance is the best knight, the Robo-Horse is the worst set! Well, you cleary are a fan of historic themes, so you love the one that resembles more a medieval knight. We, as action theme fans, love wacky, unrealistic sets like the Robo-Horse.

Shroffy123 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Only minifig worth getting in these sets are the baddies Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Only minifig worth getting in these sets are the baddies I kind of agree. Aside from Macy, the Knights are all humdrum. Aaron is alright too, but he comes in 2 sets I might want, so he's not a priority for me to purchase. The Queen is nice too, IMO. But yeah, the villains are the real show stealers. The Knights just lack the reusability of even Chima figures. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Takanuinuva Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I would like to see these pictures of the Robo horse and it transforming. Or do pictures of that even exist? Quote
BrickFit26 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Im all for the bad guys. Every pic that's been show of them has just wowed me. Im not sure which sets i'll get because I normally like to see reviews of the finished product before I make up my mind. But those bad guys Edited November 14, 2015 by BrickFit26 Quote
maginnster27 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) And here started the schism within #teamLance... Guys we all know the Actual Best Knight here............................ Jar Jar Binks #TeamJarJar- Hilarious and Funny -That Tongue is A Majesty - From Naboo so he is Multi-Cultural - Can Swim and Breath Under Water - [insert strong foreign rolemodel argument] Edited November 14, 2015 by maginnster27 Quote
Rayskull Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I would like to see these pictures of the Robo horse and it transforming. Or do pictures of that even exist? They do... Guys I was a little too excited about this theme... I may not have enough room for Fortrex, so I've been trying to design something smaller with that same look. Presenting, well I'll call it ROOK for now: Its a Spaceship :D I have to work on the interrior and durability. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Am I the only member here who like both the Knights and the bad guys minifigures? I think both has good design and has great printings on them. Althrough I not interested with Nexo Knights, I might buy one or two small sets because of the great minifigures. Quote
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I also like both the good guys and bad guys. Both have great detailed designs, and both have great models under their belts. I think this is a great theme overall. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I also like the whole theme. For some reason I love that wacky colorsheme Quote
Gadzooks Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 They do... Guys I was a little too excited about this theme... I may not have enough room for Fortrex, so I've been trying to design something smaller with that same look. Presenting, well I'll call it ROOK for now: *snip* Its a Spaceship :D I have to work on the interrior and durability. Awesome idea. I really like your shield. I'm not normally interested in the villains of themes like NK, but these DO look very reusable. Quote
Aethersprite Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I don't know why all of you are hating on the robo-horse-bike - I think the concept is awesome! I'm not about to judge it based off a couple of blur-ish pictures. I'll reserve my judgment for when I see a video review. So far, I'm set on getting the King's Mech, and maybe that creature set that comes with the Queen. This theme looks promising! Edited November 16, 2015 by Lockon Stratos Quote
Rayskull Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I really like the horses myself. From how we reverse engineered it, it looks like a really nice build. Quote

Oops, I think we're talking about Lance's transforming horse-bike thing! The other standard robo-bikes that all the knights have (which you're talking about) is really nice! Quote

Aanchir Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I've seen everyone loving it. I am one of the few from what I've seen here that hates it. It's disturbing how many people like this theme. I see no reason why it should be. Different people like different things. The current theme I most dislike is Disney Princess (which, to me, feels highly sanitized compared to the movies it's based on, a trait it shares with Disney Princess merchandise in general), but I don't find it disturbing that others like it. Just because other people like this theme doesn't mean you're wrong for disliking it. But conversely, just because you dislike it doesn't mean other people should. It really just boils down to personal taste. Quote

I'm a fan of medieval fantasy Castle sets, and as long as Nexo Knights is around, we aren't likely to get any. So the more people that like Nexo Knights, the longer it will be around, the longer I'll have to wait for traditional Castle sets, which is disturbing. Quote

So the more people that like Nexo Knights, the longer it will be around, the longer I'll have to wait for traditional Castle sets, which is disturbing. Fair enough. Personally, I don't know if the prospects for more traditional medieval fantasy sets are really so dire. After all, we've already seen LEGO produce licensed sets that are more or less within the same "genre" as existing non-licensed themes. And as the LEGO Group continues to grow I think there will be more and more room for non-licensed sets and themes that are inspired by similar subject matter. After all, if Castle and The Hobbit could coexist even temporarily, why couldn't a non-licensed Castle theme coexist with Nexo Knights? Surely those two themes would be even MORE different from one another. I believe some people in the Castle forum have brought up the possibility of LEGO Creator stepping outside its comfort zone of modern-day buildings and vehicles and introducing "3-in-1" sets inspired by medieval fantasy. That doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me, particularly without a competing medieval fantasy theme on the shelves. There is also the possibility of more Castle-inspired minifigures in future collectible minifigure series. Or of future medieval fantasy sets through LEGO Ideas. Or even of occasional Nexo Knights sets that steer clear of the more sci-fi elements of the series, much like Enter the Serpent, Jungle Trap, Lava Falls, and Master Wu Dragon did in this year's Ninjago range. Well, not sure if you need to say that in every page of the thread. We already got it. This is the Nexo Knights discussion topic. I believe that means this is the place to share what you have to say about Nexo Knights, be it positive or negative. Reading opinions that are different from yours over and over can be frustrating, but people should be able to share those opinions when they're relevant to the discussion. Otherwise we run into a situation where everybody on Eurobricks stays in their own little bubble of preferred themes. The fact that x105 Black continues to contribute to this topic means he's willing to read opinions that he disagrees with, even if they disturb him. Those of us who like the theme should probably extend the same courtesy. If you really feel like those dissenting comments get in the way of discussion you can just ignore them.

I am afraid the good guys building and minifigs will stay, like in the cartoon, too much futuristic for that, but the vilains on the other hands... Especially if we get some fantasy baddies in next wawes (orcs, lezard-men etc...) He's simply a troll. Come on guys... He is a constructive antagonist, we all love and need some vilains to fight.

So the more people that like Nexo Knights, the longer it will be around, the longer I'll have to wait for traditional Castle sets, which is disturbing. Take it positive. Traditional lego is out of fasion for now, take the time to collect older sets you don't have. You can take the tme to save up for when traditional lego is back in fasion. Look at the classsic space theme, it will probably never come back, but now and then we get a cool new space theme and there will always be Star Wars. Or you can go with the time and actually like something radical new :). Quote
