LEGO Nexo Knights 2017 Discussion

[Takanuinuva]

What's the price of Aaron's Rock Climber? I might pick it up if it's not to expensive. (I really want that Lord Krakenskull fig)

Nah, it was shown at Toy Fair back in February and exclusive sets are never shown at Toy Fairs. So new exclusive is ether a well kept secret or ther isn't one this year.

If 70360 is indeed an exclusive NK set I hope it's a Stone Monster structure of some sort, possibly the City of Ghoulia. The Stone Monster faction is far too vehicle heavy so far.

Looks like @x105Black was right about the top of Knighton Castle turning into a spaceship.

I hope this set will include that Italian architect Roberto. He's the only bad guy missing from the sets!

While I hope he appears aswell, there are several stone monsters that appear in the show that don't appear in sets including: 2 Rogul variants, 2 Scurrier variants, 2 different stone knight statues and another stone stomper variant. If there is a retail exclusive for the summer wave, I can't see it coming with all of them, which would be disappointing.

Yeah! Roberto for the win!

I meant main villains. And on the topic of another Rogul variant it's weird Lego didn't use purple helmet on one in the Axl summer set, seems like a missed opportunity!

That's exactly why I think that there will be an exclusive. He's the only main character to not yet be represented.

[Lego_Talk]

Turing into a flying machine is also pretty cool. I also like some the of the pieces included. Most likely a buy for me.

I'd also love to get Roberto in a set, and some of these others too. I find it odd we've not had any stone scurriers in sets... seems they decided to replace them with the bricksters, which personally I find a lot less appealing.

As far as Roguls are concerned, it shouldn't be too hard to get both variants if we did get one in another set. A hooded Rogul with a mask printed on one side of its head would give the Collapsing Crumble look; a purple helmet could be included with another stone monster in the set and switched in to create Ravaging Rot, using either another print on the other side of the Rogul's head, or the head from the current Rogul.

It also seems a shame that we're only getting five of the Forbidden Powers - I realise we're never going to get all twenty, but it'd have been nice if they'd added at least one or two more so we could fill all the spaces in the crown of the Colossus (and ideally have one left for Jestro to keep in the staff). I think we're looking at Malicious Melting being in three sets now, and each of the other powers in two.

Guess I'll have to learn how to make decent stickers.

No, the sculptor who teamed up with Jestro and Monstrux got exiled for making a statue of the Queen kicking butt, so more likely it's that statue brought to life.

Fair enough.  I thought I had heard she was turned to stone, but this is actually a cooler idea.

Well if you're going to make a Space themed Castle theme, you might as well go all the way.

[Robert8]

I think she was turned into stone. Otherwise the "real" Queen minifigure would be in the set

In the TV show someone else turned to stone... Maybe it is really just the statue.

The real queen minifig was already released in 70325.

So, wait...

How is it that so many people know so much about season3 when it hasn't even shown up yet.

Is it out in English somewhere or what?

 

Also the Rumble Maker looks so much more impressive in that flight mode.

LEGO uploaded all of season 3 to their youtube channel a while back.

Speaking of the TV show, I have to watch some episodes of Season 3 to get more appreciation of 70349 Ruina's Lock & Roller -- just posted a review here:

Eh, the Lock and Roller itself is fairly one note, but the episode it debuts in is pretty plot important; It's used to ACTUALLY kidnap the Queen, the Mace Smasher gets wrecked and replaced by HOTSPUR, THE DROP-BOT D.R.A.G.O.N. (Yes, Robin actually created a Bacronym for Dragon), there are hints that a mysterious someone met with Merlok after he blasted Monstrux in what became Rock Wood Forest, Ruina herself is identified by Monstrux as a witch and implies she's NOT another Monster which the Knights strangely adhere to despite never knowing this

Spoiler

setting up the reveal Runia is actually Merlok's Mysterious Someone (his Sister Wanda according to the new book)

, and finally, 

Spoiler

Clay turns completely to stone.

Thank you for spoiling all this stuff that would've been nice to not know until I watched it

And if they don't add all this to Netflix, they are seriously missing an opportunity to spread the love of Nexo Knights. Especially since its incredibly difficult to find them on Lego's YouTube channel.

I tried, but I didn't realize it was the EYEBALL that created spoiler tags...

[x105Black]

Probably best to post show details and spoilers in this thread:

Just a heads up...

[makoy]

I might have indirectly invited spoilers here. Be careful next time.

As for the new NEXO Knights set -- I don't see myself buying anything at regular retail price. Every NK sets I own I got for 30% discount or more. It's ridiculous to pay at regular price now.

I also noticed that my local LCS online ship hid NK from their landing page. It is now hidden in "more categories" ... maybe they realised the effort to market it does not translate well to sales? 

[Peppermint_M]

Yeah, big reams of animated series discussion is better suited to the helpfully linked thread. 

Try and avoid it too much as some prefer to avoid spoilers and only want the set discussion. 

 

Thanks.

Those harpies are looking alright. Going to get that Stone Clay for sand blue sci-fi stuff. 

[x105Black]

Isn't that an Elves hair piece in new colors on the Stone Harpies?

[8BrickMario]

Ooh, those harpies look great, and the Skyra hair really suits them. I find it fitting that the knight who apparently turns to stone has a mineral name.

Yep. It was originally used for the 2015 Skyra figure in Lavender with Light Nougat ears and gold wings. Really cool to see it reused since it's the only Elves hair piece from the first year that hasn't been recolored or reused before.
