Rumor of the day: possible discontinuation of the LEGO Nexo Knights range (or not)

A few lines were enough in the new issue of the magazine Blocks so that the rumor spreads like wildfire and is transformed over the articles published here or there in virtual certainty.

The LEGO Nexo Knights range would be discontinued without notice as early as next summer. Finished. No more sets, not even those initially planned to be marketed next June and presented during the last Toy Fairs.

All those who praised this range at length of "reviews" praising its creativity, its originality, the modernity of the design of the sets, the interactivity with the Merlok 2.0 application, etc ... suddenly find it a slew of flaws which would almost justify this decision...

More seriously, it is anyway only a rumor without a source and identified as such by the magazine which propagates it in its pages.

And then in the end, if this range discreetly disappears from the shelves before the end of the year, sooner or later it will be replaced by another internal LEGO license and that's good. You inevitably end up getting bored of everything and two years is already very good for this type of range which is only held by the additional marketing content offered by LEGO (TV series, videos) and the advertising that the manufacturer wants. do to boost sales.

Nothing and no one indicated that this range would survive for at least three years, this is not an established rule anyway and LEGO is still the sole master of the future of its products. If the range stops, we'll get over it.

The sets of the second semester presented during the New York Toy Fair are likely already in production. If the rumor is confirmed, these few boxes will therefore be marketed a priori, possibly with some geographical restrictions.

If the range is suddenly stopped, I will then have a little thought for all the publishers of various and varied books around this universe who have already announced their end-of-year publications ...

Time will tell...
