Mr Greeble Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I know she wasn't in it for very long, but I hope we get Queen Halbert in her armor. Maybe as a polybag or something. I think that would be cool Get in line. Quote
Lyichir Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) So they are taking a sharper turn towards fantasy then. Thats good. Some of the bad guys have nice equipment, especially the sword of Mate Squiddybeard and the axe of the guy in the 4th pic (?????? de Seaweed) look promising. I don't know why people are assuming that these new factions will be any more "traditional fantasy" than the current sets even if they ARE the focus of future sets. After all, it's not like the lava monster faction has that many futuristic motifs either—what technology they do have is mostly limited to their vehicles rather than being evident on the figs themselves or their weapons. In all likelihood the forest and water monsters will also be accompanied by their own thematically-similar vehicles. And as for the Nexo Knights themselves, I haven't seen anything that'd indicate that they'd become any less tech-enhanced. Edited June 19, 2016 by Lyichir Quote
DraikNova Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I have a feeling she will be 5004390. Do you know something we don't, or is this just speculation? Edited June 19, 2016 by DraikNova Quote

Haven't you seen any of the Ultimate sets for evil guys? I wouldn't exactly call things like backpack mounted helicopter or a rotating dual fireblade machine non-technological. Given the artwork we've seen so far, I'm guessing their vehicles, weapons, armor and structures will contain a lot less tech, if any. I think they might have more of a traditional fantasy look, or perhaps Lego might try something new and make everything they have organic, including weapons, buildings and even weapons, similar to the Zerg race from Starcraft. There already is a mushroom sword, a giant water behemoth (a portable base like Fortrex perhaps?) and sentient trees (a living watchtower anyone?), so I wouldn't call that idea too far fetched. I wonder if they are allied to Jestro and his lava monsters, or a third faction which is enemies with both of the other factions? Quote

I wonder if they are allied to Jestro and his lava monsters, or a third faction which is enemies with both of the other factions? The Ultimate sets are a special case—that added equipment goes way beyond simple "armor", and doesn't even affect the actual design of the fig (as far as printing and designated armor pieces are concerned). Besides, none of the lava monster characters in the Book of Monsters are pictured in their "ultimate" forms either, so the fact that the forest and sea monsters don't have that sort of equipment in the pictures is certainly no guarantee that they won't be similarly outfitted in some of the sets as well. As far as vehicles are concerned, we also have no reason to believe that they'd be any more organic than this year's vehicles, which themselves are already fairly organic compared to the vehicles of the knights (with heavy stone, metal, and lava motifs and only a few obvious hallmarks of technology like control panels)—and it's worth mentioning that even the artwork of those lava monster vehicles in the Book of Monsters is heavily stylized to make them look significantly more crude and organic than the actual sets. The other monsters in the book are summonable by the Book of Monsters just like the lava monsters, so unless they somehow rebel or Jestro turns good again, then they will most likely be allied with Jestro.

Courge Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Nexo magazine in hand (june issue). And the next one will contain ...... a 21 parts car....kart... thing with four wheels... I will try to post the preview this evening. Quote
Juke Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Get in line. I suppose one could use the Kings armor(which I haven't seen him wear in the show) which resembles the armor that the queen wears in the show. That would give the illusion of the figure, minus the helmet. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I actually like it! Would have been better if they included a royal solider, but it doesn't matter as I'm not getting it. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Very unexpected inclusion in the black knight mech set, the mech has nadakhan's hair piece at the top. Didn't notice that until now. I also just saw the hover dead bull build and it looks amazing physically. That's a far better build than the mech. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I have a feeling she will be 5004390. Huh, the Lego Store promo. Cool. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm not getting my hopes up for that, but we'll just wait and see. Quote
NotMegalodon Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 So i finally got the Fortrex (as one of the few sets of the first wave i didn't have yet). Anyone here that got it motorized? I'm thinking about making it an RC Fortrex Quote

I'm thinking about making it an RC Fortrex SBrick shared a of it motorized and controlled remotely, but I don't think they've shared specific instructions for how they went about doing so. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Here is the exclusive figure we're getting in July... No Hammerin' Halbert. 5004390 Edited June 21, 2016 by CM4Sci Quote

Amazing Bricks Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Very disappointed... I knew I shouldn't have expected anything new. Quote
