DraikNova Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I think the black armor looks best on Macy and Clay, to be honest. At any rate, both in Germany and where I live Nexo Knights seems to be popular. Quote
x105Black Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 That version of Lance looks really cool. Quote

LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 THe's would be a must have. Those look soo cool! Quote
x105Black Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah, that Lance is even better. I really would love to have that minifigure. Quote
Kalhiki Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The black armor is niiiice. Hope we see it in the future. They remind me of the outfits from TRON. With all the tech in this line, It'd be cool to see the Knights go into a dataspace or something. Like, Merlock gets a virus, and they need to save him. Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Honestly, the black armor is a bit too techy for me. It looks much less knightly, and just a black and blue blob with a vague medieval armor impression. Quote
Zergos Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Oh man, I would love to see those!!!! They look awesome!! :D Quote
Boogly22238 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Macy's armor looks the best in black. The red mixes in so well. I nabbed the Book of Monsters today and I'm enjoying every page. Quote
BrickJagger Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Macy's armor looks the best in black. The red mixes in so well. I nabbed the Book of Monsters today and I'm enjoying every page. Any plant monsters we haven't seen? I know, I'm asking this again but no one answered the first time. Those new Nexo upgrades look incredible. I don't see why we wouldn't get them in a future sub theme. Those suits would be a perfect match with the dark blue/black bad guys. Quote

I don't see why we wouldn't get them in a future sub theme. Those suits would be a perfect match with the dark blue/black bad guys. I think you just pointed out a good reason why we probably won't see both (at least, not at the same time). You don't want the hero and villain factions to match—you want them to contrast with one another. Two dark-colored factions would blend together too easily, regardless of how many glowy lines you added. Quote

BricksrDamian2 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 How come Jestro isn't Red and Black? Also I found out Vincent Tong aka Kai voices as Jestro Quote
ChristopheQ Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Anyway, that got me thinking about another question—what do you think future knights and their vehicles might look like? A lot of themes try to do something different with their color schemes or motifs in their second (third, fourth, etc.) year to try to differentiate them from what's come before. Power Miners, for instance, replaced the orange in the sets' color schemes with blue. Atlantis swapped its Trans. Bright Green windscreens for Trans. Yellow. Even Chima started using Trans. Bright Orange, rather than Trans. Light Blue, as the unifying color for the good guys (and conversely, started using Trans. Light Blue for the new ice villains). Changing up the villains is easy in-story—there's no rule that all the monsters created by the Book of Monsters have to be lava monsters, and there's plenty that could be done with monsters that draw from other elements or environments. For the knights, the possibilities for change are much less obvious. Perhaps the transparent color unifying the sets could be changed, but that might make for too dramatic a change in the look of the sets. I suppose they could make Trans. Yellow work—that wouldn't be too far from how the weapons and things look in the show, and I'm sure it'd make the Spacers happy. Alternatively, they could change the SOLID colors of the builds, perhaps emphasizing the primary colors of the knights more on their respective vehicle. Of course, nothing has to change, and even if something does, it doesn't necessarily have to be colors. Still, it's fun to speculate! Regarding NK 2017 colors : not easy to guess, and it will depend a lot of the vilains color... (the actual colors not contrasting a lot with a green, earth and red vilains plant faction for exemple). As I said last week, 2016 Blue(s) and grey(s) were perfect (feel both medieval and futuristic). The transparent color could have been with trans-yellow like in the show, but i think trans reddish orange add a bigger contrast with the light grey and silver, while creating a link with the lava monster. (Meanwhile the vilains got trans-orange to stay within lava colors but still slightly contrast with red). But I was the NK designer, I would change these colors for 2017. Or wave 2 vehicles will feel too similar to wave 1 (a blue bike, blue tank, blue tower, blue castle, blue flyer...). Replacing trans reddish orange by trans-orange or trans-yellow will not cut it. The new vehicles need to be fresh, orginal to be appealing for kids. They need to feel "Whooa, cool vehicle look, I don't have that, I wan't that". (but I admited if we got a super fresh vilain faction, it could help sell similarly colored knights...) I said it last week, but the problem is most of the colors are "taken" : dark blue, Yellow, Red, Green and White... dark green, brown, tan, sand would be very military and more for bad guys Orange, light green and lime are probably too flashy and not very knightly (purple, light yellow, pink even more so...) But seeing blue and dark blue are used a lot despite being Clay colors, I would go for a grey, gold, red, dark red with trans-light blue for the contrast Golden armour and shield with trans-blue details would be lovely, but probably too kingly... (I still think we will got them at some point) A darker metal for the armor could work as well, especialy if the vilains have no armors (those being generaly dark). By the way if they make the plant faction, I would love to see some wooden/organic/spiky shield design Edited February 7, 2016 by ChristopheQ Quote

Next up on my list, that book with Aaron's nexo power.. Edited February 8, 2016 by Boogly22238 Quote

DuckBricks Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I nabbed the Book of Monsters today and I'm enjoying every page. My BnN said it's not out till May/June... Quote
BrickFit26 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 After more upgrades for Lance and Clay: OMG. Thank you for posting these. I actually think they look amazing in black and their colors. I want them in minifigure form. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Full on Tron Knights! Those would be some great variants, preferably without the orange. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 English; Barnes & Noble's got the book for pre-order Not to bother you too much, but how did you get it? On the site, it says the book comes out in june... Quote
Aanchir Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Not to bother you too much, but how did you get it? On the site, it says the book comes out in june... The British edition published by Ladybird came out this month. The American edition published by Scholastic comes out in June. Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Would the owners post a few pictures of the Book? I'm not asking for every page, but some cover shots would be nice. Also, besides some minor spelling changes, why should the US version be so much later than the British one? Quote
Kalhiki Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 ^Agreed. Pictures of the Book of Monsters would be much appreciated. Cover shots and maybe some shots of a few pages? Quote
NotMegalodon Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I've got the Dutch version this wednesday. I'll make some pics if no one else has by then. Quote
