"I remember a Knights series when i was a kid, the castles and horses and all the like. Seeing this brought a new spark of intrigue and I couldn't wait to build it.
Instructions; Things are getting better and better for the partial color blind. The pieces noted in the instructions were easy to pick out and I could easily tell where they were to be placed. Each bag was well laid out for the instructions and I couldn't wait to see what else this set had in store for me.
The build itself; Aside from my cat trying to help a bit, the build was enjoyable seeing the different items within coming together. I did get a bit confused in my excitement a couple times which caused me to backtrack a bit, but that is part of the fun in my mind.
Looking at the box, I was a bit concerned about the amount of 'decals' that were visible, i was quite relieved that they were not all stickers and a good portion of the ones that scared me were pre-printed with the design.
Figures; the robotic type guard guys are awesome. The different faces fit them quite well. The amount of detail all around shows me just how much more advanced the production is since i was originally buying sets in the late 90s (who am i kidding? i never stopped).
Cons (to me); while i do always appreciate the extra pieces that come in the sets in case of the smaller ones go missing, i always find it challenging to find a place for the pieces on the set. With most of the extras being an odd number, i couldn't quite 'balance' the Rumbler. I managed to make it so the side cars look like they belong on their respective side. and found a place on the main cart to hold the alternate shields.
It would have been nice to have some kind of a 'clip' or something else to hold the missiles when they are not loaded. I do not want to possibly mess up the spring by leaving them in there constantly, but also want them to not accidentally fall off (refer to cat assistance above).
Overall; I cannot wait to get the rest of this series. I thought i was having fun with the Ninjago series... those will have to wait. oohhh, i have dragons to try and attack the castle though."
I would recommend this to a friend!

"This set is Incredible!
This set delivers a lot it turns into a flying jet sword, two bikes, and a command center/tank. This set is very fun to play with and looks crazy cool! this set comes with 3 Nexo powers! This set is also jam packed with 5 figures!
Figures:
Clay is spectacular and looks great, he has a giant sword i like to call the Excalitron (Excalibur) and a big sheild.
The two Clay bots are cool and have unique printed eagle emblems.
The Scurrier is kinda cute and ugly at the same time.
The Ash attacker is Wicked Awesome! with his Awesome helmet and cool saw blade.
Set in a Sentence: Its a rolling sword oh Wait! no its a Jet,Bike,Tank Sword!"
"I was on the fence about Nexo Knights until I saw a review of this set on You Tube. I instantly had a M.A.S.K flashback and loved this set without even seeing it physically yet. Children of the 80's may remember the M.A.S.K toy line from Kenner and the vehicles that turned into multiple things. I have a feeling the designer here was a child of the 80's.
This set transforms from one primary vehicle to 4 smaller vehicles. All vehicles have great play value and solid builds. I enjoyed the fact that there were limited stickers and the variety of pieces included was impressive.
The Knight named Clay comes heavily armored with his robot minions and the villains included are quite a lot of fun as well. I really enjoyed the build and feel this new line will inspire Castle and Space Lego fans alike.
I have nothing bad to say about this set as the price point was right on and the play value is very very good. I bought this set for myself and couldn't resist flying the jet around the room.
This set will appeal to several ages. I highly recommend picking this set up."
"I love this set and its minifigures. the play features are really creative and fun I really love how the little motor bikes come off the sides and how the plane comes off and looks like a sword. I love the minifigures they are very fun and the little robots are very cute."
