@Mr. Al I can only agree with you on the LEGO NEXO Knights theme (only when it comes to the LEGO sets *_themselves_* - the LEGO NEXO Knights animated T.V. series was actually quite enjoyable there); however, when it comes to the LEGO NINJAGO theme, I happen to like it (though not as much as the LEGO Legends of CHIMA theme).

[@hunterthekitsune9536]

NEVER stop bringing up BIONICLE. Sure, there are some losers who don't like it because it "isn't real LEGO" or whatever. But it is one of the most important themes LEGO has ever created, whether they like it or not. BIONICLE more than deserves to be mentioned whenever it can. :)

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

I am shocked by how many people forget about this theme. Knights' Kingdom was the first Lego theme I ever followed and some of my first ever sets (the buildable figures) came from this theme. I got the books, played the online games, and read the online comics. This theme has a very special place in my heart with Santis the Bear bing my favorite. Thank you for doing a video on it. :-)

[@robonaught]

The first Knights Kingdom is way more forgotten about then the second one. Which sucks since everyone forgets Knights Kingdom 1 was actually the first castle theme to have an actual full complete royal family. King Leo, Queen Leonora and Princess Storm. Storm actually being the first castle princess minifig wanting to be a knight, not Princess Macy from Nexo Knights. Also Cedric was a way more interesting villain then Vladek to me. Vladek was just the guy that betrayed the king for no reason other then power with no other backstory. Cedric on the other hand was more than just a random outlaw that wanted Leo's throne. A Knights Kingdom story book and Creator Knights Kingdom's manual reveals he's actually a prince from a land far away from Leo's who's a little bit more then pissed off at the fact that his 12 other brothers(take that Prince Hans!)were given land and there was none left for him when their father died. So rather then trying to take one of his brother's land's by force. The guy becomes an outlaw and travels a far distance away from his home kingdom and decides to take the land of a king that has no relation to Cedric or his family's bloodline.

[@paralusdivinprophetedupara8903]

Me too. My first set when i was 3 was the wizard's castle and then the santis figure model 1 bionicle looking, then the blue guy model 2. I even had the strange vladek at 8:32. If i remember, it was from a box of cereals

[@StevenVillman]

@@robonaught That's *_*very*_* interesting for Cedric the Bull to have such a deep and complex backstory! I like it. What is the name (tile) of that LEGO Knights' Kingdom (I)'s story book, so that I can maybe buy it on Bricklink, e-Bay or Amazon?

[@KeepinKozy]

this is was by far my favorite lego theme. This alongside Jack Stone brings so much nostalgia. My dad used to go on business trips when I was younger and he would always bring a set of this home after he came back. I felt such a strong connection to Jayko, or the arrogant knight with great potential, who let his ego get ahead of him (causing Santos to get triggered by him in one of the online comics), but he eventually did right. Such a great story and original theme was heartbroken when it was canceled

[@Erynash]

If I was born a few years later, Nexo Knights would have been my thing. I was unfortunately grown up by the time it launched, but man, looking at it now, I LOVE this line!

[@Raidmasterprod]

[@mightbepat]

Great episode. Y'know it's funny how Knights Kingdom represented that 2000's edginess while Nexo Knights represented the tech-heavy aesthetic like we've seen in sets from LEGO in this decade

[@tahunuva4254]

I'm sad to see Nexo Knights go, 'cuz damn they had some great armour and weapon designs for people like me who use minifigs as D&D minis. Fingers crossed they put out something similar to Chima soon... Also, nice to see someone else watches Shad.

[@ztm454]

@Tesla-Effect its not its fucking cool

[@skelliebeeper5693]

Agreed! I wanted to like the new mech suits for Marvel, but they don't have nearly the build quality or cockpit design as the Nexo suits. Which is mind-boggling.

[@SobiTheRobot]

I would love to see a new Castle subtheme returning to the classic Low Fantasy roots of the 80s, with multiple factions of questionable morality, with castles, fortresses, and hideouts as appropriate. Don't just give us a story-give us a *world* to play in.

[@GeorgeB435]

What worries me more than Nexo Knights ending this year, is that I don't think we've heard anything about Lego's next Big Bang theme (a story theme like Chima and Ninjago) for 2019. Now granted, they could be saving that for either next Summer or 2020 to plan it through some more. But looking at how almost consistently Chima and Nexo Knights have performed, I'm becoming slightly scared that Lego may be more complacent on their licensed themes and only have Ninjago as their truly original property. But even then, they're going back to the first three years with their upcoming Legacy line. While that's cool for the newer fans and some of the sets look better than their originals, it kinda feels telling that maybe that theme might be running short of its imagination spark. I won't give up on the hope of Lego making another successful story theme, Castle or otherwise, as long as they still have designers who will still come up with great and imaginative designs. It just feels worrying to me that Lego may follow the way of other big conglomerates like Disney and just rely on branding to be the path of viable business in the future. I don't think I will get over the day when they give up on original themes to get there. Sorry what I just wrote might be a bit of a downer. But I guess it helps to get stuff like this out and hopefully will spark some thoughtful discussions. I did enjoy reminiscing on both Knights Kingdom themes though. They were both released at the best times for me as a Lego fan. The original was released just a year after I got into Lego and the second theme helped catered to me when I was still on my Bionicle high days. I didn't get into Nexo Knights sadly, but I appreciated what the designers did for the theme. The only proper set I got was the Black Knight mech, and it is beautiful! Though Clay's newer anime looking mech also looks awesome! I hope we can get a proper mech based theme with designs like these from Lego someday (Exo Force successor, maybe?). *whew* That turned out longer than I thought. Great video, Nick! Keep doing what you do best at your own pace!

[@t65bx25]

I really hope for some sort of Space theme. All the factions throughout the 90’s, surely at least one, maybe two could be worthy of a revival. Just make a story with 2 good and bad factions, but have them both human, and SEPARATE. Not a big bad guy ship with a couple good guys or vice versa. Perhaps add a third line of neutrals to put between. The LEGO Movie 2 Benny Battle Pack and the Benny Juniors Repair Shop proves that LEGO still has the parts and ideas to make new versions of old things.

[@krishacz]

I'm assuming they are gonna be relying on the Lego Movie 2 for 2019's top seller line, and creating something big for 2020.

[@speclucid_rmntc]

One thing I'm worried about is it's been 4 years since the last space theme, and the next one will probably be mixed in with Ninjago, fighting mutant alien snakes 🙄

[@speclucid_rmntc]

@@t65bx25 I love the idea of neutral forces in war stories, but I think it would be cooler if it wasn't just humans vs humans, why not get some robots and aliens in there? Like star wars or Star trek? Honestly though, I think Lego needs to steer clear from the whole "team" faction for once. One thing I don't like with nexo knights is each character has a designated weapon, color, and vehicle design. What I mean is it always seems it's just a guy driving around in a sword shaped car with his sword, But then over head his friend flies over head in a crossbow shaped jet with his crossbow. Ninjago did a bit better with the red ninja, blue ninja, green ninja thing. But then with already had Galaxy squad that had red team, blue team, green team, and then knights kingdom before that!

[@jarkspore]

I honestly wouldn’t mind Ninjago In Space, even if they’re fighting Skeleton Samurai Pirate Snakes for the 50th time. Better than what ever the heck Ninjago’s doing now.

[@runkelpokk9]

11:30 the idea behind nexo knights was great, but the lack of other normal knight sets made it fail since everyone who wanted normal knights hated it

[@purplehaze2358]

I always loved this line’s proto-contraction style. I think the compromise between bricks and figures within this line could be reused for a third Bonkle generation if it ever happens.

[@WildDancer101]

Ah, yes. This takes me back. I got the five sets of those joint figures, Jakyo the Quick, Danju the Clever, Santis the Strong, Rascus the Joker and Vladek the Traitor. I even played those flash games based on the figures. Pity they stopped being available before Flash died recently. Good times.

Nexo Knights is what got me into buying sets again. They felt nice an chunky like a lot of toys when I had when I was younger felt, and for the longest time I was just using Bricklink, the local hobby shop's lego bin, or the occasional second hand store's massive discounts.

[@wasntthatweirdproductions]

I get nostalgic with Knight's Kingdom 2. I liked both the sets and buildable figs, but esp. the sets (I guess my buildable fig love belonged to Bionicle). My brother and I got the first castle for Christmas and it was the coolest and biggest set in our Lego collection. We also had 2 of the figs (our favorites), the bridge crossing, and the citadel (next Christmas). So many great play features (traps, action features, hidden secrets), new pieces, the online comics and flash games to add to the lore, the playing cards hinting at a bigger world, the story and characters (having them all included in the castle was awesome!). Never got any sets after the first year, I didn't feel like starting over with the updated minifigs. Thanks man, great video!

[@BazukinBelyugovich]

I really like the old "Knight's Kingdom" theme (with Jayko, Danju, Vladek etc.), the old color schemes were really beautiful and the characters were pretty creative. One thing that always stuck out to me was the old blue hue, I really liked the cobalt/ultramarine color, which I've never seen again in any other themes. The armor, swords, and shields were also really unique, never saw anything like that. I still remember finding one in a toy store in Europe many years after the theme was cancelled, I was so excited to get it. Of course the newer medieval themes were also really awesome, especially when the introduced the chrome-plated swords. In general I loved those themes.

[@wasntthatweirdproductions]

@@BazukinBelyugovich The color schemes and new pieces were fantastic. If Lego ever does another knight/castle theme, I hope they take some inspirations from Knight's Kingdom

[@andrewtaylor940]

Way late. But here's a quick explanation as to why Lego retired some colors back in the day. Why we are now seeing them return, and why things like Metalic Green will sadly probably not be on the list anytime soon. Back in the day, up until fairly recently (2014-15'ish) All colors came directly from plastic pellets provided by Bayer. Lego bought plastic precolored. So for special colors such as metalics etc, they mainly just had to order them. The big limiting factor was inventory control. They could only have as many active colors in the factory as they had silo space for to store the pellets. (this is why early sets had very limited color pallets. And some color combinations would be similar across themes in the same production period). Also each color of each part becomes it's own inventory management headache in the warehouse. The great purge of obscure colors and part tooling occurred as Lego recovered from their near bankruptcy in the early 2000's. Part of the findings then was Lego was losing too much money stockpiling vasy quantities of limited purpose stuff in their warehouses. They had to streamline to better manage their logistics chain. Thus the color pallet was trimmed and the one in one out rule was established for a time. To get a new color one had to be retired. But 10 years later technology changed the game. With their modernized factories Lego now mostly buys neutral colored pellets (generally a translucent whitish color) and injects the color dye into the molten plastic on the factory floor as needed. This means they can much more easily rework for different colors almost on the fly. And they can produce the colored parts as needed without having to warehouse vast quantities or overruns. They can pretty much do color on demand. But there are some trade offs with this. The first, and the one most commonly bitched about by Lego fans, is part to part, batch to batch there will be slightly more color variation between parts. Especially blues and yellows. Under strong lighting you might see minor variations as they are no longer using perfect color matched pellets from the plastic factory and instead are machine mixing on the fly. Where people get it wrong is they think this is a QC issue. It's not. It is a minor sacrifice in order to go to a much more powerful production system. One that allows a much broader pallet of colors per set. Every set. Your yellows may not be 100% perfectly matching now. They may only match to 98%. But that gives you back teal, and salmon, and all the Friends colors. And the autumn leaves in the treehouse, etc. The other negative or sacrifice is there are some types of colors that the color injection system just can't do or do well. Pearlescent Metalics for example. Those they still need to get pellets for. But with the ability to do most coloring on the fly, they are less likely to bulk buy special pellets just for some special project. So they work around with what they can do via color injection.

[@DarrenWatson64]

Great video! I still have the original King Leo's castle lying on the floor of my bedroom. It's one of those sets that because I love it so much and has a place in my heart, I never demolished it and still have it in my room after all these years. :) It's a shame that I never bought a ton of Knights Kingdom 2 sets because they came out when I'm in secondary school and college and I lost interest in Lego during that time. But I still wish I had Lord Vladek's castle because my God, that set still looks as cool as Skeletor's Snake Mountain even to this day. And Nexo Knights was actually the line that made me love Lego again. I was very excited when this line came out that I actually bought most of the sets from its first year. I have the Fortrex which is very cool and I still have it proudly displayed in my room and I absolutely love the lava monsters. But I agree the second year is where the line goes downhill because the villains are less cooler this time mainly because they are boring old grey. The techno villains in the following year were much cooler but sadly, at that point, I've lost interest in Nexo Knights and I understand why Lego cancelled the line afterwards. I felt sad that the line got cancelled because it had every potential to be the next Ninjago. But I will always fondly remember the first year of Nexo Knights and thanks to that line, I got interested in playing with Lego again.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Oh yes please do! I have the book that sheds light on the fact that Cedric is actually a prince! Cedric's story needs to be told and brought out into the limelight. If Knights Kingdom 1 was a theme released around Ninjago's, Chima's and Nexo Knights' time, Cedric's story would be a lot more well known. Plus I bet ya Cedric would've gone through character development by today's Lego villains standards.

I had all of the buildable figures, unfortunately left them at a friends house, shortly after we stopped being friends and they just got lost there ugh. Miss them, honestly some of my favorites/most nostalgic toys

[@alexanderconstantini6447]

I'm so glad i found this series and your channel. I thought I had run out of high quality Lego commentary content!! You're hilarious man I love everything you've done

[@ethanstatler1827]

I like how Lego tried to close the gap between normal bricks, and construction figures. I still can't decide which are better.

[@TheGamingBDGR]

I loved Bionicle as a kid and my history nerd self lost it when Knight's kingdom(2) came out. I loved those toys so much.

[@AcrimoniousMirth]

Well, I’ve watched your entire series and now I’m feeling so,e serious nostalgia.

[@gahty57]

I loved these, this right here is my childhood

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

Imagine Lego bringing back some old themes like Knight's kingdom II, Alpha team, Adventurers and Exoforce... they had some pretty badass ideas back in the day that could've been even cooler with the modern pieces of today. The dark age of the late 90s-early 2000s really brought out the best from lego creativity-wise, even though constraction might not fly as well any more. Those characters and stories, although pretty similar for the most part, resonated with lots of kids much better than the random policemen, firefighters and other citizens of Lego city

[@iamawhale1155]

I loved those comics they made. Jayko was my favorite one even before he became king. Danju was pretty cool too.

[@vorovaxx4233]

Please keep mentioning Bionicle! Keep the dream alive!

[@LukeTheSketcher]

As a kid I did my first lemonade stand to buy the first wave of the figures. Good times 😌

[@invidatauro8922]

4:28 JESUS! That's what that was called! Galidor! I've had memories of that for years. Didn't even think it was real.

[@AsapAnimation]

I had so many sets from this line! I miss it!

[@wildtexan2096]

Holy shit! Do you know what you have done? I have been trying to remember Galidor's name since 2003. you have no idea how much time I have spent googling random things trying to remember a nostalgic biased and hazy memory from when I was 5. today however at 4:30 in your video a childhood memory I have been fighting for 15 years has been realized. so thank you!!! A like and a sub are coming to you

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

There's a Galidor episode if you wanna go back and see it. It's an April Fools thing, so there's a twist to it.

[@NoPatricioNo]

What an excellent episode! Can’t wait for the next one.

[@smaragdchaos]

8:30 Those meme figures are what introduced me to this franchise lol

[@Sarah-zf1kp]

Gosh I have so many of the year 2.5 sets for the Knights' Kingdom 2. Takes me back.

[@BarberShave19]

Would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice if LEGO decided to bring back these classics.

[@MasterOfChaos6]

i never had any of the nexo knight's gargoyle sets as a kid but i always wanted them because they looked so cool.

[@JedAnimationStudios]

I remember getting the wizards tower when i was younger. I originally wanted the castle that converted to both good and bad colour coding. But i was so happy when i got that set regardless. One of the best xmas gifts i ever had! 😊

[@171QA]

Nice. I also agree that Jetstro didn’t deserve to suffer so much .#JusticeforJestro

[@AtticSnacks]

I like to imagine Nexo Knights is the result of an Ice Planet woman going back in time and sharing their technology with the knights.

[@ShibuNub3305]

This is a supported headcanon

[@itsgaimtoduel695]

found your channel through this video. i was broswing old toylines from my childhood and this popped up in my suggested vids. this was really well done. i then turned around and binged the whole playlist. good job

[@s1mp50n4]

That ending statement, all I could think of was Principle Skinner saying, "Am I out of touch? No it's the children who are wrong."

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Yeah, I thought about that moment too while editing.
