Clive75 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi guys, I recently went back to Lego after a 20 + year hiatus ^^ and I spent a couple of days designing the Turtle's van from the classic 80's show/toy. Always wanted to have it. - It can fit 5 characters with 4 of them seated. - The inside of the van is filled with turtle gadgets and...PIZZA! - Doors on both sides of the van can open with optional Flick Missiles for playability. - The cannons on top can move around. - The roof is easy to remove, revealing all the turtles' weapons beneath it. - The weapons seamlessly disappear when looking at the front of the van. Let me know what you guys think . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cammo Posted July 29, 2014 I really hope that they eventually make this set a reality. I had the official toy van back in the day. Very nice cartoony design. Brings back memories. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkeller234 Posted July 30, 2014 Great job. I really liked the toy van as a kid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueberryWaffles Posted July 30, 2014 Apparently a Turtle Van is in the works for Season 3. Except a LEGO set of it. Here's a link to the upcoming Playmates toy for it: http://toynewsi.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con%2FPlaymates_Toys%2FExclusive&pic=2014_SDCC_TMNT03.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0&sl=23026 I think it will debut in the S2 finale. I really hope a set is made. Great job on the van, I like how accurate it is and how it has room for 5 minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Sinner Posted July 31, 2014 Hey, cool van and plenty of room for everyone. It reminds me of the one from the Nintendo game with those guns on the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive75 Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks everyone for the positive comments! It was a really fun build and very addicting to design I would say. The parts are being ordered so that the van can be build. I actually created a Lego Ideas page for this MOC if anyone want this set to become real. I'm not sure if it is against the forums rules so I did not post a link. Here are more pictures though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted July 31, 2014 Brilliant. I had the official TMNT version as a kid. It was fun to play with. Definitely something I'd love to see with the cartoon LEGO sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatthekid Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Where do you get the pizza and the keyboard? The keyboard would be perfect for an upcoming MOC I'm planning. Edited July 31, 2014 by Gatthekid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive75 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) You can get the pizza from one of the small TMNT set, I think it's the one with Michaelangelo and Krang. As for the keyboard, I think I got one from the BTTF set, not sure. It is a common piece in many of the tech/ futuristic/ star wars lego set. If not just Bricklink them Edited August 3, 2014 by Clive75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atreyu2112 Posted August 4, 2014 Awesome work... We might actually get something VERY similar, because in season 3 of the Nick TMNT show, they will be driving this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive75 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, quick update: I finally received my bricks so here are the pictures of the set. Overall it was a really fun set to build! You can support the set on Lego Ideas if you want. Just look for "tmnt van". Btw Thanks for all the positive comments! It's a dream come true for me. I finally have it!
