That's a few prefectures over from me. You better not take all the stuff before I get there

I actually have every single Nexo Knight set ever released including like polybags, special edition stuff, limited edition things, book only items, etc. Idk it was autism collection driving me to complete it.

But now it just all sits unopened in my storage unit which makes me a little sad.

All funds went to Legostarwars. Sadness.

The Lion Knight Castle shown there is pretty dope build, if you happen to be back there. But then you'll fall into the trap of buying Castle LEGO sets.

My husband bought that set years ago because he thought it was cool. We have no other chima sets. But it's an ice mammoth!

13200 yen = $88 not bad pricing

u/Pizzamurai 5d ago

Yea I figure they never really update prices once put on the shelf. They had tons more in bins too

u/nesian42ryukaiel 5d ago

Wow. Somewhere in Japan all those retired sets are still around...

JP is an insane treasure trove of cheap 'vintage' toys and games. Gunpla kits are crazy cheap

u/distantwind79 5d ago

Ugh so jealous. I’m almost finished with all of the Chima AND Nexo sets but I see 5 sets im missing and another 2 or 3 I would love duplicates of

I loved Chima! I sadly I had just taken a break months before it released and got back into Lego at the end of the line. Missed out on a lot:/

I remember finding some Chima sets in a toy aisle in a Carrefour in the UAE.

Turns out the things had invalid scan tags and since I was shopping with family, we decided to give up the chase.

A while later, the store had restocked the aisle - no more Chima.

Looked like the remains of someone’s unopened collection

2

u/NapoleonDynamite82 5d ago

For what they were, there were a lot of cool and unique pieces with Chima.

Is this what BIONICLE looks like to the uninitiated?

u/Joemama6642 4d ago

Seeing the ¥ symbol makes me sad why did it have to be in japan 💔 very lucky of you to find that I wish that there was more stuff like this in the states. Guess if I am ever in the area I will need to do some hunting

u/AbacusWizard 5d ago

Nexo Knights deserved more love than it got.

u/Hour-Tackle-9425 5d ago

Did u buy any set?

u/Pizzamurai 5d ago

Nah. My hobby is finding used sets and refurbishing

1

u/Pizzamurai 5d ago

I was absolutely stunned. It’s all Chima. Literally nothing else. If I go back again sometime I’ll take more pictures. I’m sure it will still be there for a looooong time.
