Brickset just published an article this morning that Blocks magazine is reporting that Nexo Knights will be cancelled and there will no summer 2017 wave.
This is what I wrote in the comments of the article regarding the rumor:
“Although I never bought any of the sets, I’m kind of surprised and confused by this supposed decision. I’m an avid Bionicle fan, which meant I was pretty sad when G2 got cancelled after only 2 years. What surprises me about this, is that Nexo Knights got a TV show on Cartoon Network, while Bionicle got only web animations and a Netflix series, yet it managed to last slightly longer (if these rumors are indeed true). I wonder if this is another aftershock of Lego’s decrease in marketing last year to help quell demand.”
I can’t say I didn’t thinking at this. Nexo Knights summer 2017 were HUGE, I mean, the castle set was twice bigger than 2 Umarak the Destroyers! I thought that Nexo Knights will end but… I can’t live another of this cancellations! First Hero Factory, then Bionicle, then Mixels! What is next? Ninjago? (Yes, I think so) Superheroes? Friends? Elves? Lego?
I hope this isn’t true, but I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if it is. I sure haven’t heard much about it, for a “big bang” theme, or seen much of a fandom. I really hope they don’t pull a JtO with season four, though. I’d hate to see the story unfulfilled or unfinished.
If this is the case, then this topic continue the trend of dying OT (original theme).
I remember a video during G2 ending mentioning this demise will plague future original ip, Lego may end up in the depth of Mega Bloks/Construx and other clone company to which they can’t sustain without being creative.
thats a license theme, it will out-sustain other ip
Funky sci-fi ip’s are my thing, if nexo knights is canned like g2 because Lego is ‘selling too well’ I basically won’t have any interest in buying sets, so I guess they’ll get what they want.
First Bonkles, now this? Get your stuff together Lego, you´re better than this! Only Ninjago´s doing well, right? Oh, yeah sure, only Lego Movie and Ninjago exist for you! Batman and Star Wars won´t be able to keep you alive forever! What the heck?!?
