Well, Im almost 39 and I love Nexo Knights. However, I have understanding, why it was bad decidion to mark it as castle theme - I thinkg it was good science fantasy theme (who say it is abomination, did you thinking how many similarities you can see in Jedi knights in Star Wars? And obvious inspiration, Warhammer 40k is succsesful universe too). Not succsessful is relative - first year was succssessful. Problem was second year, where were published in same tame LEGO Ninjago Movie and LEGO Batman Movie, both with large intersection of target audience, and unfortunately with more free hand and support for sets to this themes. TV Searies was comparatively at least dame good as first seasons of Ninjago. Many poeple forgot, that is a time what went to made huge lore and good storyline for Ninjago. First seasons were realy naive.and straithforward. So, no wonder that Nexo Knights Year Two had lowers sell in competiton with Ninjago and Batmab movir sets. Funny think is when Nexo Knights were discontinued, sells of sets start rasing by my local LEGO seller. Nexo Knights had bad timing and this theme is missed opportunity for me.
I took a robotics class, and we actually used Lego Mindstorms it was fun but not very fun when the other classes who weren't robotics would mess up all of your coding on the class Mac books
Another fun video fam! Good to hear some hot takes and interesting discussion Although I am someone who absolutely adores Hero Factory, it might be in my top 10 fav LEGO themes ever. So I don't agree with you on that one haha Still, it is fun to hear everyone's thoughts on it. Although I look forward to discussing Hero Factory with Garrett at Brickfair this year :P
24:07 ✋I love a lot of the hero factory sets especially from the first 3 waves and some of the pieces from the later waves. The witch doctor being my all time favorite (it does have some flaws but that’s nothing a little mocing couldn’t fix). My first bionicle was toa Mahri and then I got some of the 2009 sets too. I was too young to understand any of the lore of bionicle at the time so I didn’t feel the loss as much there when hero factory replaced it. I have equal levels of nostalgia for early hero factory as I do with late bionicle. I did and do hate what happened to bionicle because the building system was far superior but I took what I could get and hero factory wasn’t all bad especially with the villains. I appreciate it for what it is. I actually hate generation 2 of bionicle more than anything because it was really just hero factory bating you with the bionicle name. With all of them though there are things I dislike and things I really love. So I don’t think any of them should never have existed just that they could have been done better at times and maybe even been allowed to coexist.
Well put! I personally liked most of the Bionicle G2 sets and I own them all. But, I’ll admit, the final wave of bad guys… they were a mess! It would have been nice if they’d gotten to at least finish off a third year of G2. I’m sure Lego would have implemented more first Gen style parts and made the Toa look really cool. But, alas.
Or even lego agents should be brought back I didn't have a chance to buy those lego sets and ect ect I want lego classic space to keep coming back. ❤😊🎉❤😊😮
Lego Avatar is my all time favorite theme, have all ten sets and there is so many more I'd love to have. Also really hoping we get sets for the next three films!
I’d count myself among the group of AFOL’s who love Bionicle and like Hero Factory. I think the line had several excellent sets. I have a lot of them. I loved the Savage Planet wave! I have that whole wave. Sure, Lego did introduce the CCBS with HF’s second wave, but I feel like Lego was able to utilize the system quite well as time went by.
Indiana Jones flopped because they totally phoned it in. The sets feel outright unfinished, like they were made in the mid 2010's and then only dropped now with a new part or two. The original sets are 10/10 for their period though. I don't know where you guys got the idea that they're not amazing. EDIT: Mars Mission and Life on Mars are the same? Huh? Aside from the tube mechanisms they're polar opposites in quality and creativity. Mars Mission is generic good human bad alien theme with terrible figures and builds.
I disagree with Indiana Jones i will try to get more of those sets when I get the chance hopefully / somewhat agree with the more recent ones. have not explored the heh here you go i will have to get them and see if there good or the horrible ones you guys are talking about.
Western should not come back for the same reason Lego doesn't make sets in theme for WWI and WWII. Lego is right not to turn historical violence into play.
Wave 2 of VIDIYO was only released in Europe so some of them like the Vampire Bassist, Slime Singer, and Dragon Guitarist cost over $20 in the US.
This video would have been a lot better with more overlays of the different sets so we know which ones they’re taking about.

Agree. what a weird list. "im too stupid for Mindstorm so they should never bring it back"
I took a robotics class, and we actually used Lego Mindstorms it was fun but not very fun when the other classes who weren't robotics would mess up all of your coding on the class Mac books
I think I have either 2 or 3 ex or knights there ok I might add them in a stop motion at some point not sure when still have to figure that out yet.

The warships from cards could have been bigger instead of small panicked weird size that they had done to them.
Hero factory was cool. I loved it when they did the minifigure scale wave. And the dragon is also an interesting set.

Indiana jones sets are awesome. I have the newest ones and absolutely love them. But I could see how it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Chima is better than Ninjago though.
Also Nexo Knights is not that bad.

unik kitty never knew there was a show but when hearing you guys talk about it am Not even gonna even brother watching it the cartoon.
@atlbrickco joe I saw you just a minute ago, im the one that plans to go to Orlando in one day, im the one with the light grey shirt.
How did no one say power miners?
Redcoats not even mentioned once. God awful. Worse than Nexo.

@markoffalworth You were at the store??
How did no one say power miners?
@Mandoshawn because Power Miners was actually a good theme but that’s just my opinion so
