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.

I guess they’re really getting their use out of that mold. I’m okay with that, I like this style of promo-figure bags. Better than just a lone figure.
I like these pods. I hope that a Star Wars one comes soon! So many themes represented all of a sudden.
The big complaint everyone is going to have about this is that the Classic Space Nexo tile is just a pre-applied sticker on the front of the pod. No using it to make MOCs.
The only other thing I note is that it comes with a dark-blue lightsaber hilt.
I don’t understand how that affects one’s ability to use this in a MOC. If they want to keep the sticker for the Classic Space icon, they can leave it there. If they only want the pod, they can remove the decal since it’s just a sticker.
No using the _tile_ for a MOC because it’s just a picture on a (probably embossed) sticker that’s already applied. The actual tile (or even an unused flat sticker sheet) would have been much more desirable than this, though I have no doubt someone will figure out a way to build this into something. It’s kinda the same way with the Batman battle pod, where that’s the only element to feature the TLBM logo, but it’s an embossed sticker that’s already stuck to the pod lid.
It reminds me the good old day toys – “Polly Pockets.” I love this idea using the pods. It’ll be handy for kids to bring minifigures outside the house.
