See, I don't mind Monstrux being there all three years because it's kinda fun seeing a guy so evil he refuses to die, and keeps getting reincarnated in new bodies like a book, a cloud, or a living computer virus. What bugged me was how they treated Jestro. Guy went through SO MUCH development near the end of the first arc. It was great watching him come around and thrive and even be SUPPORTED by the knights.... and then all that character development went out the window 'cause Monstrux zapped him in year 2. I was SO HAPPY to see Jestro join the knights in year 3 as a good guy minifig, but... yeah, Monstrux should've found some other muscle in year 2.
I actually really liked this series. Personally, I think it’s better than Dreamzzz. It’s got a unique theme and was very creative. I wish it could have been better in terms of the series, but the sets were absolutely fantastic.
I agree, I loved nexo knights as a kid, my first Lego set from lego land was a nexo knights Lego set. I definitely think the concept and execution was better than dreamzzz, and maybe even chima. For Lego shows it ranks number 2 behind ninjago and next to lego Jurassic world, I also grew up with that although I watch the original movies way more often than the Lego one
@@adetounfrances in my opinion nexo knights was better then dreamzzz is. It might just be nostalgia but I just think they did better with it and not making it entirely for kids. Dreamzzz feels like more of a show for very young kids while nexo knights felt more on the level of ninjago
I feel that one of the reasons that nexo knight was cancelled was that it was competing with many others themes and it was to similar to ninjago (a group of colourful heroes with modern tech )why buy a nexo knight mech or a dragon or a car when ninjago is there for you a theme that many people already know that they liked
So Japan and China are actually really fascinated with western medieval fantasy. Look at japans fantasy output, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Legends of Zelda, Dark Souls. that's just naming the popular ones . From my understanding China is a bit of the same way. I know they love World of Warcraft. In a surprising turn of events the hard place to market medieval fantasy is America. Stuff like D&D was always seen as a niche nerdy thing really up until the Lord of The Rings movies. But even at that still wouldn't reach the highs until really now. They view it like how we view ninjas and samurai. A European castle theme is an easier digest for Asia than the USA.
I tend to gravitate towards themes that have interesting pieces and colour schemes to them, and Nexo knights does that. I imagine I would have loved the villain minifigures as a child because they seem very versatile, like you could fit them in a lot of your own stories. In the end, Nexo knights is a great theme to buy seperate parts from, to me
Great video! I have a soft spot for this theme and it actually happened this year, when i decided to see the show. I didn't have any of the sets, i didn't know anything about it, only that it existed. I actually liked the show, especially after the first 2 seasons, i think the writters really wanted to make it as great as ninjago. Yes it isn't the best, as you said most of the episodes are following the same format and it gets a bit boring, but it is a nice saturday-morning type cartoon. The concept for me is really intresting. I don't think that lego wanted to make a medieval type of theme but something cool and awesome like ninjago, but i see that some people wanted more a classic knights theme. The sets weren't the best either in my opinion, the bigger ones are great, i love the fortrex, the castle and Jestro's lair and some of the smaller ones had actually some nice concept and design. On the other hand some sets just looked ugly for me, especially in the second year with the rock monsters. The figures were amazing, i love all of them, i wish i had some. It's just, lego really tries to compete with ninjago by making a new theme that follows the same format but they can't beat it because they want the new theme to be extremely successful from the first wave. They actually have amazing concepts for themes but they have to stop following ninjago's footsteps. I love the elves line, it lasted 4 years, it had much better lego sets than nexo knights (even a better storyline) in my opinion and that's because they just didn't copy ninjago. I think they learned this lesson with dreamzz wich looks very promising and has it's own identity. I would really appreciate if the next video is about elves or dreamzz, i love this type of videos of yours. Sorry for my big comment but i love talking about lego themes...
Im sad cuz it was my favorite lego theme and i have so many sets, even the biggest ones from s2 (like the colussus and jesters headquarters) and I loved it. I was so hyped when i saw the trailer for s3 and it never came😢
Never thought of anyone would upload a video about Nexo knights. I truly appreciate your thoughts and good production on the video! I’m a fan and love Nexo knights and I’m just happy seeing someone still I talk about it!
I only saw the first two seasons of Nexo Knights before I converted back to Ninjago, but it and my one Clay minifigure have a special reserved spot in my heart right next to Jaya
The app was quite good actually, it ran pretty well and had a LOT of stuff packed in. Scanning the shields was great (and going to the store to scan them off the boxes was fun too, lol)
If that didn't exist then the show might have lasted longer,i watched this when i was 9 and i didn't even get to see seasons 3-4 cause i could not find them but this show is what got me into scifi and a decent chunk of lego. So the fact it got cancelled just makes me sad😢
Nexo Knights was my Castle. I missed out on all the Castle themes before it, and while the season one and two sets didn't pull me in, the season three sets did, especially the show given some of the things they revealed. For example, Clay's mother! As well as what happened with him after getting struck by Monstrox's dark magic. I really loved the idea for the final wave of sets, but upon learning that this wave wouldn't get it's season, I personally was devastated since I was really getting into it, and wanted to see how they would destroy Monstrox once and for all, and how Clay's story was going to go as well.
Yeah the characters are funny But every episodes they fight monsters and defeat them by Next knight power is kinda Boring there’s new ideas and No new mani villains
I found your channel and enjoyed your videos and was gonna binge them all but it turned out to be a pretty short binge, would watch if you made more :)
Yoooo how about Hidden Side! I never got any sets, but I think the show was pretty good, as well as the idea of two teenagers fighting off ghosts with their phones XDD, as well as the sets!
I personally think the sets overall are great, & they get a solid 8/10. & the show isn't on the same levels as Ninjago, which is insane, but its still pretty good, it gets a solid 7/10. Nexo Knights is actually better than Chima. Ninjago is the single BEST Lego theme & series, Nexo Knights is a pretty good theme & series, Chima doesn't hold up today too much, its not bad, but not the greatest, DreamZzz is pretty solid so far (haven't finished S1), its good, & Monkie Kid is quite solid tbh. Out of these I mentioned, Ninjago gets a solid 20/10, Nexo Knights (like I said before) gets a 7/10, Chima a 5-6.5/10, DreamZzz a solid 8.8/10, & Monkie Kid gets a solid, idk, um....Idk if I like MK or DreamZzz more, um....maybe a 8.9-9/10?
I feel like this is something a bit important you missed but there is an nexo knights "book of monsters" book that tells you about all the monsters and some other things. theres even many monsters in the book that were not in the show. theres even 2 new "factions" of monsters being the nature and ocean monsters.
I kind of want a future Brick Lore video to focus on both _LEGO City_ and _LEGO Friends._ That also reminds me, I find it a shame that The LEGO Group just dropped _LEGO City Undercover_ altogether, when they could have done so much more with it. A common criticism of _LEGO City_ sets these days is that they focus too much on creating action set pieces with stuff like police and other emergency services just to capture the attention spans of young kids. It's gotten to the point where it's a common joke that _LEGO Friends_ is a better _LEGO City_ than _LEGO City,_ That just makes me wish that The LEGO Group kept _LEGO City Undercover_ as a sub-theme of _LEGO City,_ where _Undercover_ could focus more on action set pieces with named characters, leaving room for the main _LEGO City_ sets to focus more on mundane city scenarios like the types we see in _Friends._
I think the biggest problem for the series was the concept. While fantasy and sci-fi fandoms have a lot of overlap people tend to enjoy these interests one at a time, mashing them together like this confuses casual buyers and scares off purists of either genre.
Lego nexo knight sets were awesome back in the day but the show sucked and Ninjago will always be better With the map size it would’ve made a really good video game too
Wave 2 was bad AF, the villains and good guys designs got better and better but the vehicles and the concept for the villains felt like the ones from the first wave but recolored and with some lightning bolts added. I'm sad because I saw the concepts for the third wave of sets that got scrapped and they were amazing.
„definitely more likeable than chima“ Nah gotta disagree on that with you champ, lego chima had AN ABSOLUTE BANGER LORE. Also the lego sets were so cool.
The Fortrex looks straight out of a 1980s cartoon like He-Man. Definitely one of the cooler sets and a concept I love. I'm currently building a Tzar tank and I love land ships!
Back when lego nexo knights was thriving I ran a nexo knight fan club and I remember everyone was at edge of there seats when stone colossus was revealed. Nexo knights is what got me into lego.
The single greatest area where Nexo Knights failed was the show and in a multimedia Lego world, it cannot be understand how crucial it is to have good Lego media to market your theme. Themes live and due on having a good tv show, movie, books, or comics. Regarding the show, I remember giving Nexo Knights a chance but the season, at least the first one, just didn't give me any reason to keep watching. The villain felt silly and unintimidating, the characters were one-note, voice acting was cheesy, and the techno-future vibe just felt really weird. Each episode also felt like the same thing over and over again and the characters weren't entertaining enough to keep watching since they were almost all so flat (barring Clay and Macy a bit). And later seasons didn't improve quickly enough. Season 3 felt like a repeat of season 1 because nothing changed. There was no evolving story like there was in Ninjago, it was just a new bad guy army but still the same big bads. There was no reason for me to watch when Ninjago was putting out Possession at the same time. I actually heard good things about season 4 because they started to do something interesting with Clay and have an ongoing story but that came too little too late. If they started that interesting arc in season 2 I and others might have been interested. And I have to compare all this again to Ninjago (which is the gold standard and Nexo Knight's competition) which already had a changing status quo since its first season, changing villains, deeper characters, and a better tone across the board. It's easy to see why Ninjago succeeded where Nexo Knights failed.
Also I feel like this show didn’t do much to differentiate itself from Ninjago. I’ll respect Chima for at least trying to do something different with its world. Not to mention (maybe I’m wrong cause I don’t remember this show all to well) all of their problems are solved holding a shield over their head and getting Nexo powers. Compare this to when the original four ninja had to go through an individual journey just to unlock their true potential and each grew as a character because of it.
THE Nexo Knights' ability to use the NEXO powers to disintigrate the monsters was called back to in Crystallized, when the Ninja used their vehicles to defeat the Vengestone Warriors.
With the recent Ninjago seasons revolving around The Merge, it could stand to reason that Nexo Knights may logically appear in Ninjago now. Before the merge, we only knew the realms of: The First Realm, Ninjago, UnderWorld, Realm of Madness, Cursed Realm, Djinnjago, and the Departed Realm (Prime Empire as a realm is debatable). It’s possible that the Realm Nexo Knights is in could’ve combined with the rest in the merge.
@The_Mecha_Archivist Ras gave Chima vibes the moment I saw him. And they should give some sense of Finality with Nexo Knights with seeing the knights interact with the Ninja.
Considering the fact the Dreamzzz Ninjago crossover mentioned the Nexo Knights at the end, they may do a crossover with that show, and maybe, JUST maybe, Lego will gain the support and motivation to fully finish the Nexo Knights show, with some of the issues being addressed and fixed to the best of the writers' ability 🤔
I like the idea of jestro being an overarching villan. I just wish the armies didn't come out of monstrox. Like, they shouldn't have turned jestro good in the season 2 finalie and made him have to learn to be a villan on his own. Maybe they still could have had jestro get his lightning power and the monstrox staff, but without monstrox holding jestros hand. And like, arnoldi could have been his number 2. I think it would have been a cool idea for jestro to form allies with people who were also wronged by society. If we ever see a nexo knights return(like a 5th season, reboot, or crossover with dreamzzz) I think that the villan should be jestro but all on his own. #Jestro
Nexo knights was great for the fantasy fan. Armies of rock monsters, red demons, cool knight armors and weapons etc. I have so many different nexo pieces in my moc fantasy world. I honestly think it was better than ninjago.
While Nexo Knights wasn’t the greatest theme ever, I really enjoyed a few episodes of the TV show growing up & a few of the minifigure designs are really cool like Rogul, General Garg, or Lord Krakenskull for example. But in the end, there wasn’t anything that really made the theme stand out to me.
In the repetitive episode thing There’s 2 special episodes in season 1 I think Jestro actually captures all the knights in the first episode, ending on a cliffhanger The next episode Aaron escapes and frees them But this only happened once in season 1
Please do lego elves next! Also I agree with you on the point about repetitive episodes but Miraculous Ladybug has a very repetitive plot; random person who gets a grudge towards Marinette gets acumotised and then they fight with Cat Noir and Ladybug and get UNacumotised and a good guy again, relising their mistakes. Don't understand exactly how it became so popular more than other repetitive shows?? The romance plot points? Meets it's demographic?
I LOVE this theme! I was around 10-13 when this theme was released to when it ended, and I gotta say, it's probably my favorite Lego theme ever! Part of it might be the nostalgia of buying these massive (for me at the time) sets, most notably getting the Fortrex on my birthday, but also because it was the first theme I invested heavily in. I had the app as well, and yeah, it had its fair share of bugs and glitches, but those didn't stop me from beating the whole game! I had a really enjoyable experience with it, and the theme overall resonated with me in a way no other Lego theme has before since then. I was really sad when they canceled the show, because now we'll never know how it ended! All in all, I think the ratings you gave it were fair, but when you spend more time around the theme it really starts to grow on you.
I can't agree with you on this. Nexo Knights is Awesome! I like Ninjago but only from the pilot to Hands of Time. After That they get really weird they look totally different than have really weird heads hair and villains.
Tbh Nexo Knights reminds me of War Hammer 40K with the whole sci-fi fantasy approach as well as how the Knights in this theme look very similar to the Space Marines. I swear give the blue Nexo Knights some Star Wars blasters and you got Lego War Hammer. Ok someone has to tell Henry Cavill about this theme asap seeing that he's a massive fan lol.
I think the builds were outstanding with play features especially for there prices compared to todays “dreams” and I have 2nd grade nostalgia for trading the little shield power ups but I don’t think people were ready for a second sort of ninjago
See, I don't mind Monstrux being there all three years because it's kinda fun seeing a guy so evil he refuses to die, and keeps getting reincarnated in new bodies like a book, a cloud, or a living computer virus.

For real
One thing’s for sure. The sets were absolute 🔥
like this show more than Ninjago (at least how it is since season 10)
Ninjago LITTERALY had "the end" in Japanese at the end of season 10, and here we are with SEASON 16
If that didn't exist then the show might have lasted longer,i watched this when i was 9 and i didn't even get to see seasons 3-4 cause i could not find them but this show is what got me into scifi and a decent chunk of lego. So the fact it got cancelled just makes me sad😢

Fr it ended on a cliff hanger we never actually got to find out what happened to clays mother or hoe monstrox became a tech Villain
I agree whit the cliffanger they gave us but for some closure you can watch cooperaceproductions version of nexo knights
Nexo night is a hood classic
Nexo knights was my childhood. So nostalgic. 30/30
The first two waves were PEAK. Ngl, after that it fell apart
Amazing work nexo knights
Yeah the characters are funny
But every episodes they fight monsters and defeat them by
Next knight power is kinda Boring there’s new ideas and
No new mani villains
I actually liked lego nexo Knights

I forgot what the small red ball guys were called but they now remind me of thumpies (if you don't know what thumpies is look it up)
I personally think the sets overall are great, & they get a solid 8/10. & the show isn't on the same levels as Ninjago, which is insane, but its still pretty good, it gets a solid 7/10.

& I wish Nexo Knights can get at least 2 more seasons just to finish its story! At least Chima had an ending! Nexo never got that!
So the Mixels are now sold out in store but still made them eBay and Amazon the problem is the price got a higher to make it more expensive

litterally my entire early Lego childhood
I sense my childhood returning.
Yeah, but i great idea. You fixed the lego nexo knights.
Nexo Knights was the best show ever I would have preferred if Ninjago got cancelled
I used to own almost all sets but they got sold 😢
لطالما احببت هذا العرض وتمنيت وبشدة ان يعود بشكل اقوى بمرافقة القليل من الرومانسية ..لكن انصدمت عندما علمت ان العرض تم ايقافه

A common criticism of _LEGO City_ sets these days is that they focus too much on creating action set pieces with stuff like police and other emergency services just to capture the attention spans of young kids.

mixels have to be next so nostalgic
I miss next knights so much
I really wanted these sets but I was a child and so had no money to buy any of them
Clay had some so much depth even if it was just like Lloyd
Nexo was kinda cool. I only got a villainous catapult.
Nexo knights is the goat!!

Lego nexo knight sets were awesome back in the day but the show sucked and
Ninjago will always be better
With the map size it would’ve made a really good video game too
I just don't like Ninjago a whole lot, because again, it has a very repetitive plot line and sets. Like you can't go one season without 5 new mechs.
I rellay hope that one day nexo kinghts will be rebooted
Love your channel!
Nexo knights are my favorite team and i want lego to bring it back
Wave 2 was bad AF, the villains and good guys designs got better and better but the vehicles and the concept for the villains felt like the ones from the first wave but recolored and with some lightning bolts added. I'm sad because I saw the concepts for the third wave of sets that got scrapped and they were amazing.
What's the name of the app?
Sesson 5 is told tín the magzines
I woulde love a Video aboute Hidden Side.
It really played a huge impact on my Childhood.
„definitely more likeable than chima“ Nah gotta disagree on that with you champ, lego chima had AN ABSOLUTE BANGER LORE. Also the lego sets were so cool.
Fun Fact: Chima's lore keeps growing thanks to Ninjago
I miss rock raiders on your list
can you like make some nexo knight sets like what you do in brick legends
Power Miners please
idk how about yall but i have every single set of nexo knights in my room
The Fortrex looks straight out of a 1980s cartoon like He-Man. Definitely one of the cooler sets and a concept I love. I'm currently building a Tzar tank and I love land ships!
Still wish I bought of the sets instead of being in my LEGO Batman phase
Howdy friend
Nexo Knights was PEAK LEGO
I’m sure it was fun for a 12 year old, but as a then-40 year old lifelong castle fan, Nexo Knights was painful.
Bruh, I was 18 when I got the Fortrex. You can’t have gotten it when you were 12. I can’t be that old!
Next I would love to see LEGO Adventures😃
too me it was like european ninjago
Nexo knights was so cool, Lego should make more big bang themes, u should review monkie kid next
Agreed although I don’t like monkish kid as much because it’s impossible for me to get the sets with out a huge price hike
yeah
Back when lego nexo knights was thriving I ran a nexo knight fan club and I remember everyone was at edge of there seats when stone colossus was revealed. Nexo knights is what got me into lego.
Nexo knights had some of the most breathtaking and badass moments in lego's history. For example: clay vs jestro's army in season 1 finale

Compare this to when the original four ninja had to go through an individual journey just to unlock their true potential and each grew as a character because of it.
THE Nexo Knights' ability to use the NEXO powers to disintigrate the monsters was called back to in Crystallized, when the Ninja used their vehicles to defeat the Vengestone Warriors.
I LOVED still love* THIS SHOW
Med too
I Miss Nexo Knights I used to have the Lance character but I lost some of the weapons and man good old days
Nexo Knights was a theme that I dismissed, but looking back I appreciate more and more.
I just want more castles.
With the recent Ninjago seasons revolving around The Merge, it could stand to reason that Nexo Knights may logically appear in Ninjago now.
Before the merge, we only knew the realms of: The First Realm, Ninjago, UnderWorld, Realm of Madness, Cursed Realm, Djinnjago, and the Departed Realm (Prime Empire as a realm is debatable). It’s possible that the Realm Nexo Knights is in could’ve combined with the rest in the merge.
@The_Mecha_Archivist Ras gave Chima vibes the moment I saw him.
And they should give some sense of Finality with Nexo Knights with seeing the knights interact with the Ninja.
Considering the fact the Dreamzzz Ninjago crossover mentioned the Nexo Knights at the end, they may do a crossover with that show, and maybe, JUST maybe, Lego will gain the support and motivation to fully finish the Nexo Knights show, with some of the issues being addressed and fixed to the best of the writers' ability 🤔
Awesome video
Nexi knights seems pretty cool
You should do power miners or Ultra agents next
Ultra Agents is probably my favorite retired theme
It got turned into all those cool transparent orange pieces you see in your bins every now and then
I love the theme of futuristic knights. I kinda hope someone else dose something with this theme. Maybe an anime or manga.
Noted...
I like the idea of jestro being an overarching villan. I just wish the armies didn't come out of monstrox. Like, they shouldn't have turned jestro good in the season 2 finalie and made him have to learn to be a villan on his own. Maybe they still could have had jestro get his lightning power and the monstrox staff, but without monstrox holding jestros hand. And like, arnoldi could have been his number 2. I think it would have been a cool idea for jestro to form allies with people who were also wronged by society. If we ever see a nexo knights return(like a 5th season, reboot, or crossover with dreamzzz) I think that the villan should be jestro but all on his own. #Jestro
Nexo knights was great for the fantasy fan. Armies of rock monsters, red demons, cool knight armors and weapons etc. I have so many different nexo pieces in my moc fantasy world. I honestly think it was better than ninjago.
While Nexo Knights wasn’t the greatest theme ever, I really enjoyed a few episodes of the TV show growing up & a few of the minifigure designs are really cool like Rogul, General Garg, or Lord Krakenskull for example. But in the end, there wasn’t anything that really made the theme stand out to me.
Well, it’s basically the same as ninjago because you have the overlord in multiple seasons.
In the repetitive episode thing
There’s 2 special episodes in season 1 I think
Jestro actually captures all the knights in the first episode, ending on a cliffhanger
The next episode Aaron escapes and frees them
But this only happened once in season 1
Great video. Thanks for creating this channel.
tbh for me it's top 3 lego series
👌✅👍
The next video may be about the Hidden side.
I wonder how Lego dreamzz is doing, if it has a future or if it's already in ruins
Please do lego elves next! Also I agree with you on the point about repetitive episodes but Miraculous Ladybug has a very repetitive plot; random person who gets a grudge towards Marinette gets acumotised and then they fight with Cat Noir and Ladybug and get UNacumotised and a good guy again, relising their mistakes. Don't understand exactly how it became so popular more than other repetitive shows?? The romance plot points? Meets it's demographic?
This is wise observation!
I LOVE this theme! I was around 10-13 when this theme was released to when it ended, and I gotta say, it's probably my favorite Lego theme ever! Part of it might be the nostalgia of buying these massive (for me at the time) sets, most notably getting the Fortrex on my birthday, but also because it was the first theme I invested heavily in. I had the app as well, and yeah, it had its fair share of bugs and glitches, but those didn't stop me from beating the whole game! I had a really enjoyable experience with it, and the theme overall resonated with me in a way no other Lego theme has before since then. I was really sad when they canceled the show, because now we'll never know how it ended! All in all, I think the ratings you gave it were fair, but when you spend more time around the theme it really starts to grow on you.
Lego monkie kid
I can't agree with you on this. Nexo Knights is Awesome! I like Ninjago but only from the pilot to Hands of Time. After That they get really weird they look totally different than have really weird heads hair and villains.
This gave me so much nostalgia, I loved next nights as a kid
I feel like axels peices could be very good for other things, of the top of my head I’m thinking of heavy from tf2 and mr incredible
bro i grew up with the nexo knights tv show and game. i loved scaning shields and fighting the monsters. it was a amazing lego wave.
the only reason I watched nexo nights in 2023 was because of jestro
Nexo was dope
Tbh Nexo Knights reminds me of War Hammer 40K with the whole sci-fi fantasy approach as well as how the Knights in this theme look very similar to the Space Marines. I swear give the blue Nexo Knights some Star Wars blasters and you got Lego War Hammer. Ok someone has to tell Henry Cavill about this theme asap seeing that he's a massive fan lol.
Closest Lego ever came to warhammer 40k
I think the builds were outstanding with play features especially for there prices compared to todays “dreams” and I have 2nd grade nostalgia for trading the little shield power ups but I don’t think people were ready for a second sort of ninjago
ninjago WAS great,but now their sets are really boring to build
whereas nexo knights for me is a nostalgic masterpiece and it should be continued
