LEGO Nexo Knights 30371 Knight's Cycle

First polybag of the future LEGO Nexo Knights range, the reference 30371 Knight's Cycle with a mini-vehicle and a Royal Soldier armed with his spear.

If you are impatiently awaiting this new range, don't worry, you will have enough to satisfy your desires of retro-futuristic knights with sets galore (a fortnight to start), books in spades, polybags everywhere, an animated series, video games, probably a monthly magazine, etc ...

The adventures of the five gentle knights who defend Knightonia, the capital of Knighton against the infamous Jestro and his army of lava monsters will be available in all sauces, as was the case for the defunct Legends of Chima range in its time.

My youngest six-year-old son is still waiting to find out a little more before he gets carried away with this new license but I already feel him motivated by the concept of knights equipped with big armor and super shields. And in view of what he tells me, I feel that the five knights will have reinforcement with Laval and his friends to go and face the new villains. Legends of Chima is over, but not for everyone.

By the way, as confirmed to me Marine by email, the official Legends of Chima magazine will definitely stop at number 22.

brickfan behind the fucking scenes

If you are one of those people who sometimes wonder how Antoine manages to put us in the mood for each episode of his Briquefan show or those who think that all this is still easy to do ("I do the same in two seconds with my cracked version of Adobe Premiere and granny's camcorder"), here's a video that takes you behind the scenes of the show's last episode.

Antoine reveals all the techniques used to make the illusion perfect, a bit like the videos Behind the Scenes from the Games of Throne TV series.

It's very informative and we better understand all the ingenuity of our favorite host / director who really goes out of his way to provide us with quality content.

I warn you, if you haven't seen it yet episode 15, do not watch the video below: The magic of the special effects may no longer work if you watch the two videos out of order ...
