Exetrius Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Underwhelming, to put it mildly... I doubt the torso/head prints are going to make it worth it. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 It's the same as one of the royal soldiers in the new battle pack, so it's not new at all. The bottom right minifigure with a blue armor piece. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1640/25943233606_f3bddfd48d.jpg Quote

The bottom right minifigure with a blue armor piece. https://farm2.static..._f3bddfd48d.jpg That's not true! The prints on the torso & legs, at the very least, are unique. Note the orange bits on the blue fields on the torso & rounded part of the legs, the orange bits on the kneepads, the design of the torso armor print, the color arrangement on the leg print. Quote

That still doesn't make me want to get it haha. I don't care about minor changes, it doesn't feel unique. Quote

If you remove the helmet & armor, it's pretty unique... the head might be identical to the other soldiers, not sure yet, but maybe there's a unique expression beneath the helm. Quote

Pretty sure about that, the face prints that we have are more neutral expressions. Quote
Venkefedo Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Pretty sure about that, the face prints that we have are more neutral expressions. If it's an existing face print, it'll be the pikeman from the Army Building set (with the broad-brimmed helmet)... his eyebrows are 'angrier' than soldiers available in the other sets, and seem to match what we see of this new exclusive fig. If he's baring teeth beneath the helmet, that'd be the one. Quote
just2good Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Here is the exclusive figure we're getting in July... No Hammerin' Halbert. 5004390 So lame, it's Iconic Easter 2. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 So lame, it's Iconic Easter 2. There's more like this coming. Also congrats on 7000! I'm catching up to you. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 So lame, it's Iconic Easter 2. Or this year's May the Fourth. Granted my only taste of Nexo Knights has been the January promo pack, this is pretty lame. Will probably pick it up though because I hate to see a good coupon go to waste. Quote
x105Black Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Here is the exclusive figure we're getting in July... No Hammerin' Halbert. 5004390 Well, I'm glad I didn't buy that calendar. So lame, it's Iconic Easter 2. What was wrong with Easter? I loved getting a Chicken Suit Guy. Quote
Venkefedo Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 What was wrong with Easter? I loved getting a Chicken Suit Guy. ...the fact that it was just the CMF Chicken Suit Guy in fancy new packaging! So, great if you missed him, or wanted more chicken suits without buying him on BL, but not so great if you were happy with the one (or however many) you got when he was readily available in the CMFs Quote
PenPlays Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Perhaps Queen Halbert will be this years Target Cube minifig? To be honest, though, both of the last cubes were leaked pretty early in the year. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen this year's. That is, of course, if we are getting one. Quote

Truth is, I don't think we're getting one. Who knows, it could be revealed closer around the holidays. I would assume Nexo Knights would be a part of the cube because Chima is now finished. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 This is not a queen I ordered. And This guy don't even has a weapon! Quote
HawkLord Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 The lack of weaponry is sad. Still I have the coupon, so why not? I'll be there anyway for the Castle minifigure promo. I wish he wasn't just a basic guard or something. Something akin to the quality of the Ultimates packs would have helped, but obviously with less accessories. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Too bad we can't get a figure of her yet. Hopefully if the theme continues we'll see our Hammerin' gal. I've been picking up a few sets since the supermarkets are doing random clearances/price drops on things. I have no idea of the logic but I am taking advantage of Aaron's flyer being dropped from £30 to £20 for no real reason and random selections of ultimates going down below the £5 barrier (£5 being the price point where I am likely to decide tospend on a LEGO set instead of a bunch of snacks and chocolate. Great diet plan). The magazines here in the UK seem to be a little behind the continent, but I think they'll turn up soon. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I initially thought I'd get lots of Nexo Knights sets, but it seems I'm more inclined to get Ninjago ones... (£5 being the price point where I am likely to decide tospend on a LEGO set instead of a bunch of snacks and chocolate. Great diet plan). I should do that too... Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I initially thought I'd get lots of Nexo Knights sets, but it seems I'm more inclined to get Ninjago ones... I should do that too... Ive been the exact same way. NexoKnights has a nice appeal, but if 7t were between a Ninjago set and a NexoKnights sets, 7 would take Ninjago everyday of the week. Quote
Venkefedo Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I initially thought I'd get lots of Nexo Knights sets, but it seems I'm more inclined to get Ninjago ones... Same here; the buildings/playsets look good, I dig the steampunk elements and dragons, I like a lot of the figures... with Nexo Knights, I like the figures & hover-horses, but not so much the vehicles/builds really. The mechs & buildable monsters aren't too shabby tho! Quote
Darkfox190 Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Personally I was the exact opposite - I thought I was going to hate the theme. Now I have the entire collection sitting on my table, and I love it all! Quote
makoy Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I didn't have any impulse to buy any of the bigger sets of NEXO Knights yet... so far I only have the ultimates. I'm planning to buy the Volcano Lair but it's very low in my priority list that even if I miss it... I won't regret it. Quote
Juke Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I think the theme is pretty cool. It has actually taken me out of my Star Wars sets only collection. But I only have ultimate Aaron and Clay. I only plan to buy the fortrex and all the ultimates though. But the sets are relatively cheap, so I may buy others while I'm in between waiting on Star Wars sets. Quote
