BrickJagger Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 Hopefully in 2017 the new enemy faction will be more intimidating.Because currently those lava creatures,especially the small ones,look silly and childish rather than frightening. Motor is possibly the scariest Lego figure of all time. We basically already know who next year's bad guys are, and unless you're afraid of plants, you're going to be disappointed. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Well thus far from what I've seen I'm not impressed(regarding the whole theme).And as much as I try to like it I simply can't,this is why I hope that there will more interesting enemies,not necessarily scary or frightening,but interesting.If the next enemy faction will be plant people(based on that concept art) then count me in.

BrickFit26 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I like how Merck 2.0 looks in that picture of what could possibly Jester's castle. I'd love for him to be an actual figure with all translucent parts. And I LOVE the hover horse that comes with Jester's Evil Mobile. Love that hover horse. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I think TLG could make a Merlok 2.0, but the only parts that would be transparent though are the arms, the head and skirt, the rest would probably be orange. P.S. can anyone tell who the shadow on the top upper right is in the picture with the castle is, because so far I can make out Jestro, BoM, Beast Master, Scurriers and Moltar, but I can't tell who that last guy is ?

Rayskull Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Wow these are fun just picked up a couple of baddies, did not think I'd like these this much. I like how Merck 2.0 looks in that picture of what could possibly Jester's castle. I'd love for him to be an actual figure with all translucent parts. And I LOVE the hover horse that comes with Jester's Evil Mobile. Love that hover horse. Infernox is the best way to get a hover horse I think! Quote

I agree. I don't know why people would be willing to sacrifice minifigures in their sets to have more of these silly things. Quote

Good question. There's Flama, Jestro, some Scurriers, the Book, and Beast Master (don't see Moltor). But the guy in the corner's interesting. He looks like he's wearing a head scarf or maybe a new piece. Quote

I think that's magmar using that new bandana piece from this year's "Pirates" sets. If you guys want a normal looking Jestro, get the evil mobile. If you want something new, just wait.

Dr.Cogg Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Amazing bricks, have you actually seen the Castle and if so is it similar to the City of Stix ? Quote
Karateduo1 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I agree. I don't know why people would be willing to sacrifice minifigures in their sets to have more of these silly things. I like these, "silly things" I have more than enough minifigures, but none of the scurriers or globlins. Also I love how they made a more dynamic small enemy(i.e. as compared to Ninjago Shriekers and other static pieces). They are like mini-monstrous-minifigs. With their own personality to each one to boot! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Amazing bricks, have you actually seen the Castle and if so is it similar to the City of Stix ? Well it'd be best to PM me for that. Anyways, list should be out soon! Quote
Aanchir Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I agree. I don't know why people would be willing to sacrifice minifigures in their sets to have more of these silly things. They're cute and funny, for one thing! Minifigures can also be cute and funny in their own right, but I find the Scurriers and Squirebots more charming than the generic good and evil footsoldier figs (King's Soldiers, Flame Throwers, Crust Smashers, and Ash Attackers). I wonder who will be the first person to design a Nexo Knights chess set with Scurriers and Squirebots as pawns. Come to think of it, I wonder if LEGO has any plans to release an official Nexo Knights chess set at any point. There are definitely enough characters to choose from! Or at least, by this summer there surely will be. Edited December 31, 2015 by Aanchir Quote

I wouldn't like that. I want him to be all translucent. I think it could be done. He doesn't even have to be translucent, just the right colors to match his new form, but I doubt that he will actually be made into minifigure form. Wow these are fun just picked up a couple of baddies, did not think I'd like these this much. Infernox is the best way to get a hover horse I think! I think so too, but I want to collect them all.

I hope we'll see one before the year is up! Quote
Rayskull Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Only thing is the heroes are made up of mostly unique characters. Pawn- Squirebot or Soldiers King- King Queen- Queen Knight- Clay and Lance on hover horses Rook- Arron and Macy in Mini Fortrex, Bishop- Merlin...uhoh Maybe Hologram Merlin and Physical Merlin. I wouldn't like that. I want him to be all translucent. I think it could be done. He doesn't even have to be translucent, just the right colors to match his new form, but I doubt that he will actually be made into minifigure form. I think so too, but I want to collect them all. We still haven't seen Clay's I hope it's a set by itself... In my dreams! Edited December 31, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
Takanuinuva Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nexo Knights Chess Good Side King- King Halbert Queen- Queen Halbert Knight- Lance and Clay Bishop- Merlock 2.0 and Aaron or Ava Rook- Axl and Macy or Robin Pawns- Squirebots Bad Side King- Jestro Queen- Book Keeper with Book of Monsters Knight- Beast Master and Lavaria Bishop- Whiparella and Flama Rook- Sparkks and Infernox Pawns- Scurriers Quote
DraikNova Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 We basically already know who next year's bad guys are, and unless you're afraid of plants, you're going to be disappointed. 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? Quote
gedren_y Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Plants? Swamp? Could it be possible that Lego could create something close enough to make a Swamp Thing minifig? Quote
Soupperson1 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 If we did get a chess set its unlikely the pawns would be figures, the pirate chess set had builds Quote
Kaanere Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 How do you think that the Scurrier equivalent in swamp/forest subtheme would look like? Quote
DraikNova Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 31, 2015 by DraikNova Quote
8BrickMario Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 From what we've seen, the theme seems heavily focused on plants/fungi, not bugs. But they might make up the minion class. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 31, 2015 by DraikNova Quote
Kalhiki Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 For a swamp theme, I think the scurrier equivalent could be like some kind of seed, spore, or nut creature. In-story they would eventually grow into larger plant-men. I just think it'd be cute to have an evil, walking seed. Maybe with a hold on the top of the head to attach various plant pieces for some variety. Also, can't remember if I already posted this, but count me in for a chess set. So long as it's good. Oh, and I should be getting my first Nexo Knights set tomorrow at the Lego Store! Time for my annual blow-my-Christmas-money-on-Lego New Year's Extravaganza. I'll probably pick up the Rumble Blade or Robo Horse. Depending on what else I decide to get. Quote
Boogly22238 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Went to TRU and got the Lava Smasher. Now I want black Scurriers even more.. Quote
