LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS Stone Monsters Accessory Set

As a fan of Nexo Knights, I myself enjoy getting large numbers of massable units. In the previous season, I would buy copies of the Knighton Blaster set for more Ash Attackers, and bought the Accessory Pack so I could beef up my guards for Jestro's Volcano Base. As such, I am no stranger to these 'Minifigure Packs' as I like to personally refer to them as. With the reduction of Minifigures in these packs and the reduction of accessories for said figures to use, now the emphasis is on the Minifigures more than ever to make up for the shortcomings of the Price. However, as I will discuss, this set simply does not deliver that. PROS While I personally dislike this set, I will admit the Gargoyle Stone Figure is a very desirable one to get. The figure has extreme detail along the torso and legs, and the inclusion of slightly downscaled but still applicable wings was a good choice. This also gives a cheap way to get the new 'lightning bolt' piece, though one could get much more in other sets. CONS Unfortunately, the Pros will stop there. While the Gargoyle figure is decent, the lack of the newer specialized wings means this is less valuable by default. The other two figures, however, simply are not ones that are worth the price. The 'Stone Stomper' figure has no accessories for the torso, no unique prints, and simply has a spear, a piece that one can buy in almost any other set for far cheaper. While I do appreciate having a 'grunt' figure for my army, it is simply far too simple and plain to even think about paying essentially 4 dollars for. The miniature stone warrior is decent, and the headpiece for the figure is very desirable at that. Yet again I must bring up that the prints are not new and it is simply mixing and matching the prints. CONCLUSION If you wish to buy stone figures, do not use this. The minifigures, while decent looking, have nothing new about them and as such, no real value to this pack. With Lego having reduced the number of figures in these packs, it becomes almost pointless to buy these now. I suggest that instead you put this towards the King's Guard Artilerly. That will give you a decent figure, the same desirable lightning bolt, and something to actually play with. Do not buy this set.
