October 2, 201510 yr With the new images I've seen (actually just one new image!) I'm at least slightly interested in the minifigs! At least Jestro looks pretty cool! I have to admit it does not look half as bad without that mecha horse. So the main good guy is charging with a lance like weapon while on foot? Sure..
October 2, 201510 yr Author Like a handful of comments over on Brickset have stated, this does seem to have a lot in common with Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light.
October 2, 201510 yr I'm okay on passing on this for investment. And I'll be okay if anyone makes a killing, investment wise on this.
October 2, 201510 yr Looks kinda cool. If the story line is a hit, I can see kids begging their parents for a set whenever they go into a store that sells Lego. But then which kid doesn't beg for a Lego set regardless of what it is :P.The poster reminds me of the marines/firebats in Starcraft. Hopefully MOCers can take advantage of this theme to better replicate of these sci-fi video game scenes.
October 2, 201510 yr Netflix announced 2 new lego shows, is this one?Probably yes as it is stated somewhere that they'll do a own TV show for this (and other stuff...)... I mean it is the new placeholder for LEGO Chima
October 2, 201510 yr and now we know why the last castle theme had a short retail life. nexo knights looks like another regular castle theme but with flying shield-boards, mixels, demons and mean clowns. kids might like it. investers and AFOLs will stay far away (unless elements are needed from the sets).With the new images I've seen (actually just one new image!) I'm at least slightly interested in the minifigs!At least Jestro looks pretty cool!
October 2, 201510 yr Author Here is a higher resolution of the poster giving a better chance to zoom in and see all the little details. So many new elements, characters, and other things not yet seen could only come from some intelligibly crafty "outside the box" designers. Like Ninjago, it's sticking around for a while.
October 2, 201510 yr Does this mean that the Blue/Red Jester Hat is coming back? This is a very expensive item on Bricklink due to it being in the Grand Carousel. It was in the first Winter Toy Shop and when Lego re-released this set they changed it to Orange / Blue. Almost seems on purpose. Edited October 2, 201510 yr by hendrikdejager

October 2, 201510 yr well Jestro's version looks more red/purple with stains on it... so maybe for a creepy carousel? ;-)It also has "turned up" horns instead of down. So, who knows.I'd love to see this piece come back, though.
October 3, 201510 yr Like a handful of comments over on Brickset have stated, this does seem to have a lot in common with Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. You just restored my childhood. Thank you.
October 3, 201510 yr My son walked in my office right when I was looking at the poster image. He's 7. Thought they looked cool, and commented right away on the armor and shield pieces being must haves. His 12 year old cousin agreed. So yeah, standing by my current guess, will probably end up with most of these but not for investment. (I didn't see the other images posted that were taken down).
October 8, 201510 yr Pretty cool stuff. I wish I had that when I was a kid.Classic space FTW. Why do most of the characters look like mouth breathers? I will say that faceted piece on the nose of the horse will be a nice addition for MOC'rs.
October 8, 201510 yr Those actually look pretty good. The horse air scooter / jet horse? thingy looks much better than the mecha horse. I can see the potential, although the sets look like LEGO's attempt to capture Imaginext's market share
October 8, 201510 yr Classic space FTW. Why do most of the characters look like mouth breathers? I will say that faceted piece on the nose of the horse will be a nice addition for MOC'rs. Well... they don't have noses.
October 8, 201510 yr So that's only slightly better than I expected. The red set above, that kinda looks like a catapult maybe? That looks intriguing. The jester is a must have for me. He's spooky. I also like the smiling mini figure head and the little robot? minifig head.
October 8, 201510 yr Meh - props for creativity but at first glance, I'll pass on all these. I'll be interested to see what my kids think of them
October 8, 201510 yr Definitely targeted for the kids, but should be a good parts harvest for MOCs and what-not on clearance.Because, let's face it, they'll be on clearance in a Chima minute.
October 8, 201510 yr Looks like a hurriedly thought out jumble of themes. I am not even remotely interested in any of these sets, and I don't think my kids will be either. Complete pass for me, which means more funds towards Exclusives
October 8, 201510 yr To be fair, the body / armor piece of the Bull / yellow guy looks interesting, a very nice way to "bulk up" your minifig
