Wow. I gotta say, I am impressed! I really like these sets! These are a big upgrade from this year’s sets. My favorite is Ruina’s Cage Rollel and Jestro’s Monstrous Monster Vechile ( Lol ) And also those Battle armor suits those look really cool! Having a very strong Exo-force vibe and I loved Exo-force! I’m gonna pick up one or two sets of the New wave. Also Jestro’s body was possessed by the evil books.
Gee, those monster things look hideous…(with maybe the exception of 70350)
And the Knights’ vehicles look all the same, just as last year.
So yeah, I think they suck 
.
Gotta purchase 'em all.

now, like last time, the only thing that interest me with Nexo Knight is the cool looking monster designs. I am seriously planning on getting some of these sets simply for the monsters, plus the mech suits. Also as someone mention on Just2good’s video of the Nexo Knight 2017 sets, is that the they sort of look like they are based on LEGO Ice Planet, they sort of have a similar color idea from some of the sets
speaking of Just2good:
just if your all interested in seeing his opinion on them
Now, there are however one set which i find to be sort of like a copy of a past Nexo Knight set:
i mean… come on, its the same consept here, just with a different monster having captured the queen. Heck, Infernox did not even make an appearance in the show.
also, it seem that my personal though for the monster vehicles in 2016 being alive is going to be used in the 2017 sets, given how “The Three Brothers” seems to be refering to the large vehicels as the third brother for Reex and Roog.
Rogul is also another cool looking monster that im thinking on getting.
also, in refrence to the mech suits, i personaly see them more as being like the R.Y.N.O mech suits from Ratchet and Clank: All4One:
Now, the last thing i will say is about Jestro’s inclusion in the 2017 sets, but i will hide it because it goes into stuff that happends in the tv series, and i don’t want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it yet. so before you go into it, be warned that there are spoilers here.
[details=Summary] Ok, so. In the final episode of Nexo Knight season 2, Jestro was restored back to normal and rejoined the knights, the reason for this was because the Book of Monsters aka Monstrox wanted to use Jestro as a vessel so that he could be restored back to what he was before Merlok broke him into the evil books. Jestro however was saved this fate by Clay, who traded for Jestro’s freedom by giving Monstrox the final book he needed for his return, the book of betrayal. However, Monstrox being the villain that he is, he instead had Clay swap place with Jestro, and thus would use him as the vessel for his return instead. Jestro thus aided the Nexo Knights in saving Clay and prevent Monstrox’s return, though its made clear in the ending that Monstrox is far from gone.
Now the main problem i have is that by the looks of it, it seems that Jestro will re-join Monstrox in 2017, thus it kind of ruins his redemtion in the final episode of season 2, it would be like if Garmadon or Cragger returned back to their evil ways rather than staying good. Plus given what happend in the end of the Nexo Knight app game, it seems like Jestro’s redemtion might have been a show thing only and as far as the LEGO theme was consernd, Jestro continued to be evil.
however there is one thing that might save this, because after taking a closer look at Jestro:
He seems to have been turned into some kind of zombie or something given the coloration of his skin, thus its possible that he might have been transformed into a monstrus minion by Monstrox against his will. I only hope that Jestro does not rejoin Monstrox by his own free will and just forgets all of the bad stuff that he did to him in season 1 and 2 of Nexo Knight.[/details]
oh, and also it looks like the Monsters for 2017, might actualy be animated rock statues based on some of the things we see in the background, rather than the elemental monsters that were summond from the book of Monsters in 2016.
You mean they have a cohesive color scheme.

Official images of the battle suits are also out:
If I’m going to be completely honest, I think these are some of the weakest sets in the Nexo Knights line-up period. Most of them have wonky proportions, and the fact that the minifigure’s shoulders are exposed is more than unpleasant. I might buy Axl’s though, since it works better than the other five.

Idk, I kinda like’em tbh, at the very least they’re a lot better than I was expecting.
I may or may not pick them up, but I bet kids will love them.

I guess this is key. I’m pretty sure LEGO’s target audience doesn’t care about their wonky proportions and odd design choices. Kids will probably love the fact that they’re little mechs.
I might get one of these, they seem interesting.

Exactly, You have to admit, these are better gimmick shills than the bloody ultimate sets.
Money-wise if nothing else.

I wonder how those shield gimmicks will work in the game.
I’m not saying that, I actually really like the colors they went with.
It’s a little hard for me, since English isn’t my main language, to explain why I think they look the same, but I know that @Just2good ,who has the same opinion, talked about it in his Nexo Knights videos, and I’m sure he can explain it better than me.

I personally like them. They appear to be pretty cheap, and honestly aren’t bad for what the price will likely be. They’ve also got some neat weapon parts.

Yeah. I agree. I actually like those sets. I might pick up one just to try out. Maybe Lance… I just hate thar open balljoint at the pelvis part.
The only one of the battle mech’s I’m probably going to get is Macy’s. It looks relatively coherent and has the only not-too-awkward-looking weapon.
He was a skater boi… he said see ya later boi…
In all serious-ness I kinda like the mechs. They have some kind of charm to them- like the Uplink mech from Exo-Force. And look at all the new pieces! Chances are I’ll pick up one.
The other sets are kinda… eh. Some of them are cool, but others are goofy like… the monstrous monster vehicle. What is that face?! It’s pretty shocking. (sorry for puns, I cannot resist!)
Minifigs are great as always, good to see some new moulds in there- especially that wizard rockman’s leg replacement. (what are the villains? Gargoyles?)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go fill up my wallet. Fast.

from what i can tell from the background… yes… yes they seem to be gargoyles, or atleast animated statues, you can tell because some of the statues in the background of the boxes, have glowing yellow eyes like the monsters and some of them are even jumping off from stands that they would normaly be stanting on.
Its possible that these monsters might also have been petrified Monsters of the past, which are now being re-animated by Monstrox’s lightning.
