gedren_y Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Look what got posted in the Angry Birds 2016 thread. Here's your 2016 castle. Quote
SirBlake Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Whoah, that is an unusual and pretty cool castle design. I have no use for angry birds, but there's a lot to that set. Quote
x105Black Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Despite the Angry Birds branding, that's a fantastic looking castle! And the pirate ship looks steampunk in design. Maybe this is the rumored Castle theme with steampunk influences we all heard about a year ago! It certainly looks much more like a Castle theme than Nexo Knights! I might just get this. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Look what got posted in the Angry Birds 2016 thread. Here's your 2016 castle. Hey I was going to said the same thing !! Oh really we shouldn't be teasing the castle fans, Quote
Robert8 Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Well.... the Castle itself is not that good But it's a bunch of nice pieces for Castle fans Look what got posted in the Angry Birds 2016 thread. Here's your 2016 castle. I said the same thing on the Angry Birds thread Then I removed the "y" from your to make it our, because I remembered I was also expecting a Castle set in 2016.

Actor Builder Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Oh! And it comes with another Great Eagle for the Lord of The Rings fans! Quote
Lyichir Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 It only comes with the wings... Actually, I'm pretty sure those aren't the eagle wings from LotR (though I got the joke ), but rather the smaller pegasus wings from Elves. It'll be nice to get those in a more realistic color than silver or gold. Quote
BrickJagger Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 The Pig Castle is pretty "Meh", especially at a high price point, which it's surely going to be at. Historic fans will probably like Jestro's Lava Castle, which *doesn't move* and is bound to have tons of useful parts, and lava monsters if you're into that sort of thing. Quote

It's a much better castle than anything else we're seeing so far, including the Fortrex (which is from what is supposed to be a Castle theme). Quote
BrickJagger Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 It's a much better castle than anything else we're seeing so far It......it has giant slide and pig nostrils. including the Fortrex (which is from what is supposed to be a Castle theme). Quote
SirBlake Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 It......it has giant slide and pig nostrils. That can be easily discarded, leaving lots of usable parts for regular castle building. Far more than any NK set provides. Quote

Far more than any NK set provides. Noted, I was trying to make a joke. Again, Jestro's Castle will be very nice for castle builders, especially those who are in Nocturnus here.

It's not "supposed" to be a Castle theme It IS a Castle theme. And being on denial won't change that. Quote
x105Black Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 That can be easily discarded, leaving lots of usable parts for regular castle building. Far more than any NK set provides. Agreed. I'm actually surprised that the base castle build looks as good as it does. Sure, it has a lot of extraneous bits like the nostrils, slide, and weird turrets, but underneath that there's a decent castle. Quote
Koori Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 That castle looks way better than the NEXO knights sets have, I mean you can always alter it a little and disregard the angry birds characters. Quote
Actor Builder Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 It's not "supposed" to be a Castle theme It IS a Castle theme. It is supposed to be a Castle theme. Therefor it is a Castle theme. Boom. Quote
x105Black Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 It is supposed to be a Castle theme. Therefor it is a Castle theme. Boom. Either way, whatever the next Castle theme is, it should be a true Castle theme, not this twisted version that is being passed off as Castle. Boom. Quote
BrickJagger Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Either way, whatever the next Castle theme is, it should be a true Castle theme, not this twisted version that is being passed off as Castle. Boom. *Hopes that NK blocks out the almighty "Real" Castle for the next ten years* Quote

Dr.Cogg Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Enough of this, as a fan of Nexo Knights as an Action Theme and Classic Castle, I'm getting tired of being Jabbed for wanting a Classic Castle, By the Nexo Knights Crowd, just as well, us Classic Castle fans need to not attack the Nexo Knights theme and be a bit more thick skinned and not reply to every attack, because we are probably not going to get a Classic Castle theme for quite some time, like I said I'm a fan of both themes, so I can see the argument from both side, on one side you have the cool mostly Sci-Fi Nexo Knights with some castle influence, which will probably be as popular as Ninjago, and on the other side you have the Classic Castle fans, who just want a good classic castle and some civilian sets, to expand their own castle worlds ( some Classic Castle fans aren't good at MOCing) and Nexo Knights is to Sci-Fi, to expand their castle worlds, So please try to understand that Nexo Knights fans, before you attack use for wanting a Classic castle and Classic Castle fans try to be a bit more thick skinned.

x105Black Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 That castle looks way better than the NEXO knights sets have, I mean you can always alter it a little and disregard the angry birds characters. True, it does look better. And to alter a Nexo Knights castle, you'd have to do a lot more and replace practically the entire thing (as well as the minifigures). Quote

Your call of peace falls upon deaf ears! We Castle fans will fight to put an end to this Nexo-filth until our last breath! Quote

It's just ridiculous, light-hearted banter that will go on for years between full Historic fans and those who are open to change. Nothing to worry about there. I just realized that I re-kindled the fire with part of that first sentence....... Quote

Nothing to worry about there. I just realized that I re-kindled the fire with part of that first sentence....... I'm glad it is seen as lighthearted banter, because I really don't mean any offense. People like what they like. Nexo Knights is fine for what it is. The prices are nice enough that I was really considering buying a couple of sets. Held them in my hands and tried to find any redeeming qualities that I could use as excuses to make the purchase. Ultimately didn't buy anything, but I'm not going to be one to say there's nothing of value in the theme at all. There are plenty of things I will end up buying through BrickLink or elsewhere. Anyways, it's nice to know there are no hard feelings over this debate. As for future Castle sets, I still hope we see a return to a more Classic Castle. I'd love it if someone were to make something great in Ideas to breathe some new energy into the theme, like the Exo-Suit did for Classic Space. In the meantime, we'll have to settle for a few minifigures and parts here and there, and a pig castle. Quote
