Well, it’s the only example we have to go off of, unless if I’m forgetting another theme that had separate CCBS and system lines.
Well I mean
Bionicle had playsets for a solid 3 years
but since the constraction was the focus of the line
it’s hardly comparable.
… Star Wars?
It’s also been 9 years, a lot involving Lego has happened in that time, including the Lego Movie (which was overall advertising system), and the general acquiring of my licensed themes.
That may be a result of the licensing bringing the large majority of the popularity, however. There’s too many variables to definitively say it’d work or it wouldn’t. I think Nexo Knights needs to get a more stable grounding in the community before they try it, because, as you said:
Actually, that’s a new lightning bolt piece according to CM4Sci, and in the pictures it does look pretty different from the Ninjago blade. More jagged and thinner.

@DraikNova Its definitly just the piece in tahu’s swords in blue
I think my problem with these sets is that they are really blocky
Oh, those. I thought you meant the little spikes, not the big ones.
Tbh the new mechs feel like a Mixels replacement or successor, like they just wanted to continue the joint system somehow.

well the appearance of Monstrox have been revealed.
Behold! The mighty, arch necromancer, MONSTROX!!!
Well @Folk now you have him to draw too for your Nexo Knight artwork.
Monstrox is actualy the one thing i like with Nexo Knight, because, well, he is basicly one of the most evil and menacing looking LEGO villains to exist currently, that and the things he do in the final episode of season 2 (i have manadge to see the russian dubbed version, so i sort of know what will happend now) trully adds more to his nature, i think he might even be more evil and malovant than Overlord actualy.
Seeing some discrepancies as to whether it is Monstrox or Monstrux.
Forgive me if i am late to this, but just to catch up and see where everyone is;
Potential image of Monstrox’s human form from ‘The book of Monsters’
- Monstrox is the necromancer who caused Merlock to see all the evil in books as a ‘last resort’ to defend the kingdom
- Monstrox and his army were sealed in books
- The Book of Monsters is Monstrox, who consumes the other books to gain power
- Monstrox attempted to free himself at the end of season 2 by taking over ‘Clay’, however was seemingly defeated before this
- Monstrox however was not defeated, but instead freed from his book imprisonment as shown via his face appearing in the fireworks
- Its possible Jestro could be the only one who see’s Monstrox OR that Monstrox is still linked to Jestro OR simply that the others didn’t notice the face in the clouds
So its very likely that Monstrox will be the main villain of Season three with the group having to team up and work with Jestro (probably training him up to fight as a Knight with them) as they’ll have to face a reborn Monstrox and his army.
Alternatively it’ll be cancelled like Bionicle…

Once again, the colour schemes are what i feel is unfortunate the deciding factor in my view on the sets. They have some cool new pieces and some are great sets, including the large rolling set which appears to be an updated version of a Power Miners set, though with those colours I’m not interested in buying any of them.
I purchase sets mostly for re-usability or MOC’ing and i don’t have many (if any) other pieces in the primary colour scheme - so these are all a pass.

I for one really like the new sets, the builds look good-great and the colors work well.
I actually really like the purple/grey colour scheme for the villains, and the trans-orange visors don’t bother me like I thought they would.

It’s uh, the same stuff. With different colors and new figs.
None of these stand out to me at all. I like the cooler color ■■■■■, but they’re all kind of GENERIC MONSTER MASHER vs. COOL GOOD GUY COCKPIT MOBILE.
That “rogue” fig looks pretty snazzy though.

Dude…
Wow
Those are really neat!
The new parts look amazing, and none of the sets look particularly bad.

Loving these. All of them, except perhaps the weird plastic sheet wings on the new golem monster.

Not gonna lie, if I got many System sets, these would be way on up there. Looks like a really strong lineup, especially with the lightning theme for the antagonists.
The weird sorcerer type villain in the second picture also seems to have a new leg replacement which looks

The new mining sub-theme looks great, sad I don’t have room beside the mech…
