While Christmas is over, I still wanted to share with you these adorable pictures of the#21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E. Even though the set went through a couple of recalls and modifications, it still remains one of the best LEGO sets of 2015, and the most expressive LEGO character ever. And now that the neck issue has been fixed and the set is back on shelves, WALL-E is cuter than ever. 🙂
LEGO fan and flickr member Okay Yaramanoglutook advantage of the improved poseability of the upgraded LEGO WALL-E, to take these lovely Christmas pictures. It is amazing how alive the LEGO version of our favorite little robot feels, isn’t it?
Here is another fun picture, also by flickr memberOkay Yaramanoglu, where WALL-E runs into a very familiar looking trash-can. If you are into LEGO photography, the LEGO WALL-E set can definitely provide a lot of opportunities for great pictures.
As we discussed previously, the #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E is now back in stock with a fixed neck, so if you haven’t bought the set yet, this is a great time to pick one up. I would suggest to buy it directly from LEGO, to guarantee that you get the updated version. If you do get the older version of the set, LEGO will send you the parts to fix the neck – just call customer service. It is available at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
So what do you think? How do you like these LEGO Ideas WALL-E pictures? Do you have the set already? Have you posed your WALL-E for some fun action? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Nexo Knights is LEGO’s own new theme for 2016, combining LEGO Castle, LEGO Space (particularly the trans-orange and blue LEGO Space Ice Planet series from the 1990s), and a good dose of imagination and magic. Some people instantly fell in love with the sets as soon as they saw the first pictures, others were not so sure about the crazy mash-up, and would have liked a more conservative LEGO Castle and LEGO Space theme. However once the sets became available and people had a chance to play with them, it became clear that there is a lot to like about LEGO Nexo Knights. 🙂
Today I will share with you a number of video-reviews by JANGBRiCKS where you can see the play-futures and various transforming functions of the sets – things that are hard to explain just with words and pictures. LEGO designers really went all out to channel their childlike selves to create such awesome wackiness. And I have heard that the second wave of LEGO Nexo Knights scheduled for August will include even more outlandish models. In the video-reviews you also have a chance to see the LEGO Nexo Knight armor pieces, shields and weapons – all important elements of the theme, and very interesting to minifig customizers.
As we discussed previously, the signature set of the theme is the #70317 LEGO New Knights The Fortrex – a high-tech fortress rolling on tank-threads! And the set can be combined with the #70324 LEGO Nexo Knights Merlok’s Library 2.0 for an even bigger castle, as you can see in the video-review above. Below are the details on both sets.

There are many great sets on the side of the badguys as well, the largest being the #70316 LEGO Nexo Knights Jestro’s Evil Mobile; an awesomely evil red//black/brown vehicle with fire coming out everywhere. Another interesting looking set is the #70314 LEGO Nexo Knights Beast Master’s Chaos Chariot, which looks like a mash-up between an ancient chariot for a warrior and a Star Wars podracer. 🙄

There are also some smaller sets calledLEGO Nexo Knights Ultimate Knights, including one minifigure, and several shields that can be used as powers in the game. Great for interesting accessories!
LEGO Nexo Knights may not appeal to adults because of the unusual combination of LEGO Castle and LEGO Space, but I believe that kids and more adventurous grownups will appreciate them for the unabashed creativity, fun features, bold colors, and interesting new elements. It may not be a theme were you want to collect all the sets, but I recommend picking up one or two just to see how you like them. You may be pleasantly surprised. They are available at the Online LEGO Shop.
