I came here a Nexo hater and now I want every set

The fact that Axl was the only figure of his type genuinely hurts me. So much more flexible than big figs and yet still bigger than the average minifig.

Crazy to see Nexo Knights getting a rewind when it feels like yesterday I was watching the first episode. Imagine in 10 years or so we get a Ninjago Rewind...

that only a hundred years gap thing combined with the early 90s classic space color schemes has me wondering, what if the technology advanced so quickly because pieces of spacecraft from those older space themes somehow fell back to earth through time and space and got reverse engineered by the classic castle kingdoms?

I had completely forgotten all the Python references in the 2nd season. Great stuff. I love hearing Ninjago voice actors in other Lego shows, its a mini-pool of talent.

Honnestly, the thrid years of Nexo Knights looks like straight out of a Necron tombworld... AND IT'S BLOODY AWESOME!

Oh, nexo knights, I wished it had continued to this day. my favorite of these sets were the battle suits and the last wave of this series cause I liked the black and neon green aesthetics of the Villans.

Shoutout to the King's Mech for using a hero factory brain attack visor, fits perfectly into the theme's aesthetic. It's always a treat to see constraction parts in system sets.

One thing of note about Nexo Knights: The theme was very popular with knock-off companies and went on to get unofficial new sets for several years, usually branded "Nick Knights".

I know barely anyone will see this comment but... the story of nexo knights actually wrapped up in the comic within the final magazine of nexo knights, with (spoiler), Clay entering the digital realm to save Merlock, and fight with Monstrox on his own turf, sorta like that one episode of ninjago during the "rebooted" season. I could be remembering it wrong though, it has been over 8 years...

[Person-wziy]

I do wish Nexo Knights got it's 5th and 6th seasons, as even Chima got to finish properly. Well at least it was finished through the Europe exclusive comics.

While I wasn't a fan of the Hero figures overall, I absolutely loaded up on the monster figures. Nexo Knights had AMAZING baddies all three years, and the line helped augment my Lego Castle collection perfectly.

As a stand alone idea, it is very rad and unique.

Hot take: Nexo Knights is one of my favorite lines of “castle” themed Lego sets. It takes the almost boring line of castle themed sets and flips it on it’s head with futuristic weapons. It’s super creative imo.

Thoughts on Nexo Knights: 1) They really should have had a team building season. I imagined that each of the Knights came from a tribe/kingdom based on the old Castle factions. Like Aaron was a Forestmen and they have a reputation for thievery. Axl is a Black Bull and they're known as brutes who like to fight alot. And bringing them together meant learning they were more than their faction. 2) Nexo Knight definitely oversaturated. I get that they were enthusiastic about another Ninjago theme, but the dozens of sets meant no one was getting them all and that meant no one was getting into the collectibles. Especially for kids, collectibles have to be something obtainable. 3) Jestro gave me some Dhoulmagus vibes. He was the main villain in Dragon Quest 8. An evil force possessed him and he spent most of the game undoing the binds that restrained this evil force. 4) The Evil factions should have had a Knight of their own. A lava knight, a stone knight, etc. Maybe it's a bit Medieval Times, but I'd have loved a tournament where the Nexo Knights face these guys on the Tourney grounds.

I used to play with the old late 80's space and castle sets my dad got when he was younger, often fusing them, I still remember the excitement I had over Nexo Knights' futuristic medieval fusion. Wished it had proper 3rd wave.

16:26 while it’s functions like a Russian doll. This is straight from the anime Gurren Lagaan. Mechs within a mech within a mech!

Regarding minifigures, not getting a teen/adult version of Ava was the biggest disappointment.
With Robin getting his heroic minifigure rifgt at the end, i am pretty sure she was planned to be in the cancelled second half of the last wave.
Probably corrupted or in a damsel in distress situation, a perfect way to round up the growing of Robin as a true knight after years of following the team. Takua style

[empatheticrambo]

Mal-werewolf?! That's an incredible pun!

On my birthday for 4 Years, I become only Nexo Knights. The Stonemonsters were so cool
