Read MoreBuilt for a Rebrick contest, Anthony Wilson has found a way to make Nexo Knights cool (which I didn't think was entirely possible until now). Just look at this sculpture...it's absolute menacing, fun, and creative all at the same time. (Didn't think that was possible either.) I really like the design of this robotic dinosaur, with a very sleek and efficient concept throughout its design. Even the display base is worth mentioning, which is truly the finishing touch that this model needed. Excellent work! I hope to see more Nexo Knight builds like this in the future.
Got a little something for the Nexo fans out there thanks to builder LEGO 7. It's Lavaria's Ultimate Mech, in glorious large format. This wicked six-legged beast features a good mix of System, Bionicle and Hero Factory elements, seamlessly integrated into an offering that looks like it could come from LEGO itself.
This is the intersection of Nexo Knights and Warhammer, the Deathknight by chubbybots. I think if Nexo Knights had been a little edgier like this it would have caught my imagination a little more than the theme has for me. Not that I have anything against it, it's just a little too cute. I want to see an entire army of these battling, how cool would that be?
I had the pleasure of seeing this beast by builder onosendai2600 in person at BrickCon this year where it won the "Most Stompy" trophy. It was part of a larger collaborative Nexo Knight display that was a real crowd pleaser. With it's spinning mace arm this thing looked capable of annihilating everything on the table with it.
LEGO took a different approach to San Diego Comic-Con this year, transforming its booth into a travel-themed gateway to Star Wars, Pokémon, Ninjago and more. We explore the sights, reveals, and thinking behind LEGO’s Smart Play-centric Comic-Con 2026 experience.
