love the bad guy figure, and the play action is great. I wish they didn't get cancelled, they had some really cool ideas.

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 4 reviews

This is a great set, it is a good, cheap price with good playability. The smashing rock feature on the vehicle is very good and the characters are nice and detailed. This includes 1 nexo power; the rolling fire ball, which can be used on the app. It also includes a book to battle for. Overall it's a nice set, I recommend it to all nexo knight fans.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5

The Lava Smasher has a cockpit for Moltor, and two large fiery fists that pound up and down as the vehicle is moved. There are also two catapults that launch LEGO pieces.

Recommendation: no 74 / 100 by John

If you're a Nexo Knights fan, you'll want a copy of this one to complete the collection. Without it, you'll be missing out on Moltor, and some pretty cool parts. If you're not phased about completing the collection, then it's an easy miss.

Recommendation: meh 3.5 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

I think this set is fairly good. The build is okay and the figures are quite alright, but the highlight is the playability. The attacking function works well. The price is decent too, though there are better sets at this price point. Overall, a fairly good set but not a standout.
