The Brick Rebels Present - Lego NEXO Knights set 70317 The Fortrex Speedbuild and Impressions

Our next Brick Rebels speed build is LIVE!  I won't be shy, this is by far our best video yet. Brickmaster Robeyone tackles the new Lego NEXO Knights set 70317 The Fortrex

Here is an impression from Brickmaster Robeyone:

" All be honest, I haven't really been looking forward to this new series from Lego. I loved the Castle Lego series from days gone by, and this made me miss those sets even more. That being said, after building The Fortrex, I am a huge fan now. In fact later this week I will be doing a write-up on the NEXO Knights game available on iOS and Android. This set isn't hard to build, but it is jam packed with a lot of great features. This was just a fun set to build, and I am looking forward to building the rest of the sets in the series now. The tracks are fun, and the ability to open and close it while driving it around is great. Padawan Aaron is super excited to get his hands on this set and get to playing. I will have his thoughts in the upcoming video review."

Here is the blurb on the set from Lego.com:
