New sets discussion (2014/15/16/17)

[Kommander Ken]

Oh my god so many gorgeous colors. I'd buy those sets off the shelf, but for some reason all my local retail stores put the Elves line in the barbie aisle.

Heathens!

One local toy store chain keeps all the lego stuff together, except for the star wars stuff: that goes on the hipster manchild side of the store, along with all the other star wars crap and the doctor who crap.

[Gungnir]

For some reason, my local stores spreads it out. Though, they also put Mega Bloks and other shite in the same isle and often on the same shelf, so I suspect they may be idiots.

[stubby]

Probably because Mega Bloks got bought up by Mattel, which has more negotiating power with retailers than Mega did by itself.

[Gungnir]

Their plastic is still pretty crappy. I bought one of the recent Halo sets, and I can't keep the figures arms on.

New LEGO Nexo Knights Summer 2016 Villains Revealed


LEGO Nexo Knights General Magmar by Allen Tran, on Flickr

When you want to conquer the world with an army of monsters, you need a good general to command them. General Magmar is the greatest strategist, warrior and cook the Book of Monsters has ever produced. He talks in big words and fights the big fights. Too bad he rarely wins…

LEGO Nexo Knights Whiperella by Allen Tran, on Flickr

Whiparella is so scary she even frightens the Book of Monsters. She is shaped like a snake, has a whip that will call out your deepest fear and her Spidergloblins turn into that fear. Her only personal fear is being called ‘Whimparella’ – which, of course, one of the knights does constantly.

LEGO Nexo Knights Flama by Allen Tran, on Flickr

You don’t want to hug this monster. Flama is a molten mass of liquid lava and you would vaporize in just a moment. Usually seen in cohort with her rock brother Mouldron creating havoc somewhere. Together they are the Hot’n’Heavy twins that deliver a 2-for-1 offer on destruction.

LEGO Nexo Knights Burnzie by Allen Tran, on Flickr

Burnzie is a big, bad monster. He has yellow gleaming eyes, a mouthful of sharp teeth and spooky, downward pointing horns. If you point an ordinary sword at him, he will spurt magma fumes on it, to make it go red-hot in an instant. And he is pretty good at bowling.

Go, Magmar! Use flamethrower! its super effective

[Kommander Ken]

Holy shit, I am in absolute love with this theme. Already have some ideas to build a faction around these daemon figs.

For some reason I find it amusing that Burnzie's right had is a giant stack of plates.

[Zupponn]

I heard that Whiperella is into some kinky bdsm.

[Duerer]

Just watching Jang's review on the Fortrex and saw, that it has an actual Goatse Nexo Power. Do you have anything to do with it, Mike?

[stubby]

Man, I didn't think so, but there's a BrikWars book and a Goatse power and everything's Orange Transparent and it makes me wonder.

Actually what it really makes me wonder is if there's a Lego product design mole in our forums!

[RedRover]

This is the part where I wish I could say it's me.

Also, German Divegras Player figs confirmed!
