LEGO Nexo Knights 70317 The Fortrex

LEGO 70317 “The Fortrex” is part of the Nexo Knights theme and depicts the knights’ mobile fortress. Released in 2016, the set contains 1140 pieces and serves as a major base model for this futuristic medieval action setting.

“The Fortrex” represents the fortified headquarters of the Nexo Knights, a theme built around knights, technology and monster adversaries. Within the range, it functions as a central base rather than a small vehicle or isolated battle scene, giving the heroes a clear operational setting.

This mix supports scenes with knights, allies and enemies. The build is focused on a large playable fortress, with enough structure to stage defense, preparation and conflict around the main base.

The set is suited to builders who want a substantial Nexo Knights centerpiece for display or story driven play. In a collection, it can act as the anchor model around which smaller vehicles, enemy figures and supporting builds from the same theme are arranged.
