Cedric was a way more interesting villain then Vladek to me. Vladek was just the guy that betrayed the king for no reason other then power with no other backstory. Cedric on the other hand was more than just a random outlaw that wanted Leo's throne. A Knights Kingdom story book and Creator Knights Kingdom's manual reveals he's actually a prince from a land far away from Leo's who's a little bit more then pissed off at the fact that his 12 other brothers(take that Prince Hans!)were given land and there was none left for him when their father died. So rather then trying to take one of his brother's land's by force. The guy becomes an outlaw and travels a far distance away from his home kingdom and decides to take the land of a king that has no relation to Cedric or his family's bloodline.

@@NickonPlanetRipple Another thing about Cedric that isn't well known is once again stated in Creator Knights Kingdom's manual, the character Weezil(guy at 1:03)was found abandoned in the forest and Cedric actually took him in and raised him as his own son. This clearly shows that Cedric isn't completely evil. He does have some good in him. Even more is that Cedric is officially sated to if he does win the war instead of being like Scar or Prince Hans by murdering Leo and his family he gives them a chance to live by simply banishing them. Once again showing that Cedric isn't a cold hearted killer. I think Cedric is just more bitter and angry about him wrongfully being left no land in his home kingdom. If Knights Kingdom 1 had lasted longer than it did maybe they would've given Cedric character development like some of the current days Lego villains have gone through(Ninjago anyone?) Though i'm not a fan of Cedric in Lego Island 2.....he just seemed like he was pure evil in that game. Though I feel that could've been a case of Silicon Dreams not doing any research on Knights Kingdom 1. Plus I also consider the portrayal of Knights Kingdom 1 in LI2 to be a completely different universe to the Knights Kingdom 1 portrayed in the sets and the Creator game.

If I was born a few years later, Nexo Knights would have been my thing. I was unfortunately grown up by the time it launched, but man, looking at it now, I LOVE this line!

What worries me more than Nexo Knights ending this year, is that I don't think we've heard anything about Lego's next Big Bang theme (a story theme like Chima and Ninjago) for 2019. Now granted, they could be saving that for either next Summer or 2020 to plan it through some more. But looking at how almost consistently Chima and Nexo Knights have performed, I'm becoming slightly scared that Lego may be more complacent on their licensed themes and only have Ninjago as their truly original property. But even then, they're going back to the first three years with their upcoming Legacy line. While that's cool for the newer fans and some of the sets look better than their originals, it kinda feels telling that maybe that theme might be running short of its imagination spark. I won't give up on the hope of Lego making another successful story theme, Castle or otherwise, as long as they still have designers who will still come up with great and imaginative designs. It just feels worrying to me that Lego may follow the way of other big conglomerates like Disney and just rely on branding to be the path of viable business in the future. I don't think I will get over the day when they give up on original themes to get there. Sorry what I just wrote might be a bit of a downer. But I guess it helps to get stuff like this out and hopefully will spark some thoughtful discussions. I did enjoy reminiscing on both Knights Kingdom themes though. They were both released at the best times for me as a Lego fan. The original was released just a year after I got into Lego and the second theme helped catered to me when I was still on my Bionicle high days. I didn't get into Nexo Knights sadly, but I appreciated what the designers did for the theme. The only proper set I got was the Black Knight mech, and it is beautiful! Though Clay's newer anime looking mech also looks awesome! I hope we can get a proper mech based theme with designs like these from Lego someday (Exo Force successor, maybe?). *whew* That turned out longer than I thought. Great video, Nick! Keep doing what you do best at your own pace!

I really hope for some sort of Space theme. All the factions throughout the 90’s, surely at least one, maybe two could be worthy of a revival. Just make a story with 2 good and bad factions, but have them both human, and SEPARATE. Not a big bad guy ship with a couple good guys or vice versa. Perhaps add a third line of neutrals to put between. The LEGO Movie 2 Benny Battle Pack and the Benny Juniors Repair Shop proves that LEGO still has the parts and ideas to make new versions of old things.

One thing I don't like with nexo knights is each character has a designated weapon, color, and vehicle design. What I mean is it always seems it's just a guy driving around in a sword shaped car with his sword, But then over head his friend flies over head in a crossbow shaped jet with his crossbow.

Dude LEGO got up to 4 billion dollars this decade and last decade (2000s) they were at about 1 or 2 million. 90% of the millions comes fro bionicle.

this is was by far my favorite lego theme. This alongside Jack Stone brings so much nostalgia. My dad used to go on business trips when I was younger and he would always bring a set of this home after he came back. I felt such a strong connection to Jayko, or the arrogant knight with great potential, who let his ego get ahead of him (causing Santos to get triggered by him in one of the online comics), but he eventually did right. Such a great story and original theme was heartbroken when it was canceled

I always loved this line’s proto-contraction style. I think the compromise between bricks and figures within this line could be reused for a third Bonkle generation if it ever happens.

My brother and I got the first castle for Christmas and it was the coolest and biggest set in our Lego collection. We also had 2 of the figs (our favorites), the bridge crossing, and the citadel (next Christmas). So many great play features (traps, action features, hidden secrets), new pieces, the online comics and flash games to add to the lore, the playing cards hinting at a bigger world, the story and characters (having them all included in the castle was awesome!). Never got any sets after the first year, I didn't feel like starting over with the updated minifigs. Thanks man, great video!

The armor, swords, and shields were also really unique, never saw anything like that. I still remember finding one in a toy store in Europe many years after the theme was cancelled, I was so excited to get it. Of course the newer medieval themes were also really awesome, especially when the introduced the chrome-plated swords. In general I loved those themes.

I think I had all the Knight's Kingdom 2004 sets. So much fun building Mathias' castle.

Way late. But here's a quick explanation as to why Lego retired some colors back in the day. Why we are now seeing them return, and why things like Metalic Green will sadly probably not be on the list anytime soon. Back in the day, up until fairly recently (2014-15'ish) All colors came directly from plastic pellets provided by Bayer. Lego bought plastic precolored. So for special colors such as metalics etc, they mainly just had to order them. The big limiting factor was inventory control. They could only have as many active colors in the factory as they had silo space for to store the pellets. (this is why early sets had very limited color pallets. And some color combinations would be similar across themes in the same production period). Also each color of each part becomes it's own inventory management headache in the warehouse. The great purge of obscure colors and part tooling occurred as Lego recovered from their near bankruptcy in the early 2000's. Part of the findings then was Lego was losing too much money stockpiling vasy quantities of limited purpose stuff in their warehouses. They had to streamline to better manage their logistics chain. Thus the color pallet was trimmed and the one in one out rule was established for a time. To get a new color one had to be retired. But 10 years later technology changed the game. With their modernized factories Lego now mostly buys neutral colored pellets (generally a translucent whitish color) and injects the color dye into the molten plastic on the factory floor as needed. This means they can much more easily rework for different colors almost on the fly. And they can produce the colored parts as needed without having to warehouse vast quantities or overruns. They can pretty much do color on demand. But there are some trade offs with this. The first, and the one most commonly bitched about by Lego fans, is part to part, batch to batch there will be slightly more color variation between parts. Especially blues and yellows. Under strong lighting you might see minor variations as they are no longer using perfect color matched pellets from the plastic factory and instead are machine mixing on the fly. Where people get it wrong is they think this is a QC issue. It's not. It is a minor sacrifice in order to go to a much more powerful production system. One that allows a much broader pallet of colors per set. Every set. Your yellows may not be 100% perfectly matching now. They may only match to 98%. But that gives you back teal, and salmon, and all the Friends colors. And the autumn leaves in the treehouse, etc. The other negative or sacrifice is there are some types of colors that the color injection system just can't do or do well. Pearlescent Metalics for example. Those they still need to get pellets for. But with the ability to do most coloring on the fly, they are less likely to bulk buy special pellets just for some special project. So they work around with what they can do via color injection.

this was one of my favorite themes, I absolutely loved it

Dang. Those Borg like enemies would be great for star trek brickfilms!

It’s funny actually, the guy that writes the rules for Brikwars, Mike Rayhawk, also did the original character designs for the Knights Kingdom II era. Certain LEGO related things just seem to stick around in one way or another.

And Nexo Knights was actually the line that made me love Lego again. I was very excited when this line came out that I actually bought most of the sets from its first year. I have the Fortrex which is very cool and I still have it proudly displayed in my room and I absolutely love the lava monsters. But I agree the second year is where the line goes downhill because the villains are less cooler this time mainly because they are boring old grey. The techno villains in the following year were much cooler but sadly, at that point, I've lost interest in Nexo Knights and I understand why Lego cancelled the line afterwards. I felt sad that the line got cancelled because it had every potential to be the next Ninjago. But I will always fondly remember the first year of Nexo Knights and thanks to that line, I got interested in playing with Lego again.

I have yet to buy any Nexo Knights sets (self publishing a graphic novel series ain't cheap) but I MIGHT get some sets from the final wave. Looking back, I think it might be the best of the five (two for year one, year two, etc).

I absolutely love the plastic shields. I really wanted to collect them all. I lost my Danju Shield unfortunately, but my Santis one is still around.

This just unlocked a childhood memory I forgot I had…

As a kid I did my first lemonade stand to buy the first wave of the figures. Good times 😌

Holly shit what a good video. Dynamic, with tons of information spat out, your own internal jokes. 10/10 would buy knights' kingdom big figs again. Satisfied 100%

Another thing about the Nexo Knights’ rock villains is I remember being unable to distinguish them from the background on the box art. I took a look at “The Three Brothers” in store and couldn’t figure out just what it was supposed to be.

I love you channel mate, really takes me back beeing a member in the lego club, looking through the new magazinr every month, marking ech set i want to get Btw I still have the videp game and the blue knight

12:47 love those orange spike rings on the right. Theyre from old sets

Dig the shad plug. Love that guy’s vids

2005 was a good year all around

10:19 There it is. The one and only Knight's Kingdom set I own. It was a cool set, the castle was pretty big and it had a lot of minifigs. The coolest part IMO was the little dungeon under the throne room/gate structure. You just take the whole green plate off and... boom! Dungeon! Pretty sweet. Also, that cast-iron looking gritty metallic texture? Hands-down one of the BEST textures ever used on a Lego piece.

As a child these were some of my favorite sets. I remember wanting that castle that could change sides sooo badly. I should try to buy one now that I'm older 😂

This was one of the sets I always fantasized about buying while reading old instruction books, so nostalgic but never got one in the end

That’s what I like to see when I wake up

Man I wish I got into LEGO in 2004

Knights Kingdom 2 was my first real taste of how amazing Lego can be, and I feel like I'll always remember it every now and then for how influential it ended up being on me. Also around the 12 minute mark is when I started questioning when I stopped getting Lego catalogs.

I vaguely remember knights kingdom 2 , but I didn't have any. Shows you how in tune I was with what was going on in the lego world.

Nexo Knights must have come and gone while I was extra busy finishing growing up and leaving town for work. I would have loved it!
