LEGO Nexo Knights Coming to an End
The LEGO Nexo Knights theme was launched in 2016 as a futuristic castle adventure theme with bright, sharp colors. For two years, it has given fans an interesting assortment of sets and it looks like it will be ending with the latest wave of sets. Zusammengebaut at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair has confirmed that there will be no summer sets planned for LEGO Nexo Knights and this usually means that the theme will be coming to a sad end.
Everything comes to end in one way or another, especially with original LEGO IPs which have about a two year lifespan, LEGO Ninjago being the main exception. To see this theme ending the way it is now is a little disappointing because there was no promotion for it. The official images didn’t come out until long after the other themes were out and the sets basically just showed up in stores. It had lots of potential but apparently it didn’t meet LEGO’s expectations as far as sales goes. It seemed somewhat popular with the younger audience and even the panel at SDCC a few years ago was packed with kids who wanted more of the Nexo Knights story.
With LEGO Nexo Knights ending, it looks like there won’t be another castle type theme for a few years because LEGO likes to rotate themes so what do you want to see take its place? I, for one, am looking forward to another sci-fi space type theme. What about you?
LEGO Nexo Knights 2018 Sets Hit Toys R Us Shelves
There are now more images of some more 2018 LEGO Nexo Knights sets that have hit store shelves at Toys R Us. I’ll add them to set image post when the official images are available.
The first set is the Twinfector (72002) which has 191 pieces. The other set is called Axl’s Rolling Arsenal (72006) and that set has 604 pieces. I don’t know about you but the colors for the bad guys’ vehicles give off a Blacktron II feel which isn’t a bad thing at all as they have a nostalgic vibe.
Update: KumaBot over on Twitter has sent me an image of the Tech Wizard Showdown (72004) that was sold at their TRU.

More LEGO 2017 Promotional Pod Polybags Revealed
Yesterday, there were a lot of LEGO promotion products that were revealed over on Bouwsteenjes and one type of product that were in shown various themes were the pod polybags. The pod polybag was first introduced with the Batman Battle Pod (5004929) from The LEGO Batman Movie and LEGO has expanded the idea to other themes.
I’ve already talked about one for The LEGO Ninjago Movie with Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) but there are also ones for LEGO Nexo Knights and LEGO Friends.
For the LEGO Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), there is a knight minifigure along with a sword and shield as accessories. I do like in front of the pod, you have the Classic Space logo on the badge.
The other pod polybag is the Ski Pod (5004929) for LEGO Friends. The minidoll included in this set is Emma in her ski outfit which appears to be exclusive to this pod. For the accessories, there are some skis, a helmet, and a trophy.
There are no information on when or how you will be able to obtain these LEGO pod polybags at this time but I’ll let you know when the details are available.
