Lance's Hover Jouster

Released in 2018 as part of the LEGO Nexo Knights theme, Lance's Hover Jouster (set 72001) represents the final wave of a short-lived intellectual property that blended medieval fantasy with futuristic technology. The theme was designed to explore a high-concept world where knights utilized high-tech gear and digital shields, aiming to appeal to children through both physical play and a companion television series. This particular set features the character Lance Richmond, a prominent knight within the narrative, piloting a specialized vehicle equipped with pop-out wings and flick-fire missiles.

The design of the set focuses on the kinetic and modular nature of the Nexo Knights aesthetic, utilizing a bold color palette of orange, white, and silver. It was created by the LEGO design team to offer an accessible building experience while maintaining the unique visual identity of the Nexo Knights' futuristic-medieval hybrid world. Upon its release, the set was noted by fans of the theme for its playability and its inclusion of key antagonists from the Stone Monsters faction, serving as a snapshot of the brand's attempt to bridge traditional building sets with a digital-first entertainment strategy.
