    Axl's Tower Carrier - great set, but a selective range of pieces

    Written by (TFOL , silver-rated reviewer) in United States,

    Axl's Tower Carrier is a Nexo Knights LEGO set from the original Nexo Knights series. It is my favourite 'Good Guys' vehicle in the series, but the Burnzie monster is a cool bad guy too.

    This set was very enjoyable to build, particularly the front of the vehicle. I like the way that it uses a variety of different joint pieces to make a stunning bumper for the vehicle. However, I did feel that the six wheels were a little lazy. I really like brick-built wheels, rather than single-piece wheels, and the LEGO group haven't even bother making these wheels look nice a all! Although, I do like the way that some bricks fill the gaps between the wheels to make them seem as if they are part the vehicle, rather than simply stuck on the outside like most wheels.

    If you are looking for blue parts, then this set is for you! Most of the decorations are stickers, so you won't have to worry about all sorts of buttons and stripes ending up in a brick-built ocean! Burnzie's hammer has two cool-looking black pieces on either end, sort of like massive cogs. This set features some interesting pieces, but unless you are looking for blue pieces, I would not buy this one.

    This set is interesting one to play with, the main feature of it is that the tower mounted on the back can detach and drive around freely. I wouldn't recommend sending the tower barrelling down a slope, as it will probably fall over. Once free of the tower, a catapult can unfold from the carrier, giving more space inside, and a cool-looking weapon to fling bricks at Burnzie with! This set makes a nice pair with General Magmar's Seige Machine Of Doom, which is basically the 'Bad Guy' equivalent of this set, but with a different cool feature.

    This set makes both a brilliant model and toy, with interesting uses of pieces and cool features, but I would not buy it for it's pieces, unless I wanted some smooth blue bricks, or some massive black wheels. Overall, it is a great set that would make a great addition to your Nexo Knights collection.
