While I was hoping for a license that's in the LEGO Dimensions game but not yet a playset, like Portal or The Wizard of Oz, instead we get Nexo Knights. From their press release: LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ Catapults Into Action World’s leading toy brand introduces new intellectual property that bridges physical and digital play with building sets, episodic content and digital gaming New York Comic Con attendees get first-look at story, products and gaming app
NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The LEGO Group today announced LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS,™ a new, original LEGO property depicting a medieval kingdom set in a futuristic world where five young, brave knights “download” special powers to their shields in order to battle the royal court’s evil Jestro and a cast of monsters to restore peace. The story comes to life through LEGO building sets, an episodic television and a digital gaming app that fuels story-driven gameplay. The property launches later this year, with products available starting January 1, 2016. LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS characters, story, app experience and two iconic building sets from the collection will be previewed to New York Comic Con attendees, Thursday, October 8 through Sunday, October 11 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (Booth #1436). “Inspired by insights to meet the emerging needs of today’s kids, LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS juxtaposes a timeless world of medieval knights with a futuristic twist in a captivating story that invites children to explore LEGO play in a whole new way,” said Casper Thingholm of the LEGO Group.
“LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS offers children the rewarding building experiences they know and love, amplified by digital enhancements that merge what today’s kids love: self-expression, strong characters, deep content-driven story and digital gaming.” StorySet in the futuristic, high-tech world of the Kingdom of Knighton, LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS follows five young knights in their quest to battle Jestro, his sidekick, the Book of Monsters, and their Lava Monster Army. Heroic knight, Clay Moorington, leads the band of knights, including alpha superstar Lance Richmond, hipster Aaron Fox, Macy Halbert, a princess who would rather be a knight, and Axl, the giant. Together, under the tutelage of Knights’ Academy mentor and Great Digital Wizard, Merlok 2.0, they join forces to defeat the enemy. The sets are kind of a steampunky medieval space futuristic...well...this:A castle, on tank treads, with robohorses/speeder bikes that...yeah. ...and that's Jestro's Evil Mobile. Where this is a homegrown property, they won't have the licensing fees that LEGO has with the superheroes and Star Wars brands.
Their in-house brands are hit and miss. "Ninjago" was, and still is, huge. It's had several iterations of the cartoon, games, and is getting it's own theatrical release. The followup was "Legends of Chima," which never really took off with kids (or adult fans), despite having some cool designs and play features. I'm guessing "Nexo Knights" is intended to replace "Chima." From a jaded adult perspective, it's kind of a mess. But it's the kids that matter. Will they dig it? Here's a trailer for the accompanying cartoon and app game:LEGO Nexo Knights will be on store shelves in 2016. That's when we find out.

“After her water broke, Stan Lee asked for her to come to the front of the line so she could get her autograph before she went to the hospital,” said Sam Fuqua, executive director of Pop Culture Classroom, which programs the event. Denver Comic Con’s fifth anniversary attracted more than 114,900 people in 2016, making it one of the biggest pop-culture gatherings in the nation. “We use total attendance, which is different than ticket sales, and what we’re finding is that other cons have different ways of accounting for that,” Fuqua said when asked about where his event ranks. The June 17-19 event at the Colorado Convention Center was also the largest consumer convention in Colorado, and one of the largest in the Rocky Mountain region. Only Salt Lake City and Phoenix have similarly themed events to rival Denver’s. Adding to the bustle is the fact that Denver Comic Con took place on the same weekend as Denver PrideFest, a festival the Con partnered with beforehand.
After the Con opened with a record crowd, it featured more than 300 hours of panels with artists, celebrities and industry voices, as well as a number of panels devoted to LGBT issues. “We had a group wedding to conclude the con on Sunday afternoon that featured 10 different couples with a variety of relationships, including same gender couples and a trans couple,” Fuqua said. “That was new this year, and we hope to to continue to celebrate the diverse communities that all come under this comic-con umbrella.” Andy Cross, The Denver PostBrittany Ching dressed as a character from “Avatar” at Denver Comic Con at the Colorado Convention Center June 16, 2016.

Andy Cross, The Denver PostA “Twi'lek Bounty Hunter” Star Wars character heads up the escalator to the Denver Comic Con at the Colorado Convention Center June 16, 2016. Guests in 2016 included the aforementioned Lee (making up for his 2013 no-show) in what was billed as his second-to-last comic book convention appearance, “Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey and “Karate Kid” star Ralph Macchio, among dozens of others. As the largest programming event for the nonprofit Pop Culture Classroom, Denver Comic Con devoted the biggest chunk of its show floor — more than 9,000 square feet — to youth programming and education. And despite occupying 500,000 square feet at the Convention Center, the Comic Con literally had to work around another convention. “Because of the high demand at the Convention Center it’s been challenging year-to-year to get the same dates and spaces,” Fuqua said. “They’re really good about trying to work with us, but this year there was a bill collectors convention right in the middle of all our programming.
