I'll be passing on this theme, it does have some nice parts though.  More pictures in FBTB's photostream.

Wow. This is.... weird.

Do kids today still know who the Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles are?

There's a new cartoon that just debuted, and apparently the ratings were through the roof. It was actually quite entertaining.

[Darkdragon]

This day just gets better and better. I'm extremely excited to get my hands on these sets.

[stayunspoiled]

Wow. Off the wall!
Could be a really cool theme. I'm a massive TMNT fan these look pretty good.
Works perfectly with the Eurobricks ninja month :D

One thing I am glad about is I have the original Megablocks sets and they had a proper Bo and nunchucku (though I do understand Mikey has a different weapon altogether).
Would like to see a krang outside the body too. Man I am going army build the crap out if those foot soldiers!

[RaincloudDustbin]

Ugh, those turtles are such an ugly design. Still, I really like the sets.

[BrickG]

I think the Turtles are okay.  I'm excited.  However, I don't think the minifigures are as good as they can be.

For one...  I really think they need their own unique individual skin tones...  They're not all the same shade of green!
Two...  they need arm printing.  They are really lacking their arm cover thingies...
Three... Mike's weapon...  they need BETTER Nunchucks those look really stupid.  Don's is kind of stupid too but I can easily replace that with something better looking that exists.  There's no good Lego Nunchucks and I can't think of a good way to make them without them appearing equally ridiculous.


Also, besides the Turtles and Shredder I don't care.  That Dogpound is no Bebop and Rocksteady replacement.  The new generic Kraang are worse than the old awesome one man show Kraang.

[Algernon]

Hahaha, I like how all of the AFOLs are having poor reactions to this theme. I guess you chaps are all too old to like TMNT.

For me, I think this is fantastic. The TMNT vibe is just right for LEGO, and I'm getting nostalgia looking at that bright-yellow colored vehicle. Lots of potential for cool designs, parts, and figs here. While I agree that the turtles themselves aren't jaw-dropping, LEGO's certainly done worse (clone wars figs anyone?) and it's more about the sets for me anyway.

Can't wait to see the rest!

[Krulis]

Shredder is badass.   Also I've fond NYCC exclusives:

-Dark Turtle

-Kraang android

[BrickG]

Darned freakin' exclusives.

If anyone can get their hands on these...  I'll buy them...  for less than $100.  lol all these things seem to go for $100 minimum these days.

Actually, that Kraang is boring.  I just want the Dark Turtle.  For the love of God.  Someone sell me it for $50.  :P

[Hive]

I just noticed this on superhero hype and rushed over to see people's reactions to it. While Turtles doesn't interest me these days (I looooved them as a kid though), I still feel it's a great match-up that should satisfy lots and lots of kids. I actually think LEGO and Turtles are a better match than most licensed themes, and I'd be surprised if they don't sell well.

[The_Chosen_1]

It's so great to see that this theme is finally confirmed!  I'm a big Turtles fan (the new show is great!!) and the matchup with LEGO is perfect.  I'm all in for this theme.

I really am not interested in these sets, but it is nice to see lego doing something new and different as I personally would have never excepted lego to even glance upon the TMNT.

[ticktockclock]

I completely agree with the comment on that page that the turtles look like they have vaginas. Krang looks like shit and I'm really not a fan of Don's bo staff. I'm VERY sad to see no Casey Jones :(

All my whiney complaints aside, Shredder is badass. I'll buy whatever set he comes in (likely the most expensive) just to get him.

The Shellraiser set is supposed to be $59.99 (US), so if these set listings and numbers are accurate, The Shellraiser is going to be the most expensive set in the wave and everything else will be under $60. So maybe I'll actually be able to afford to pick up a few sets from this line! Yay!

Also hoping that if this line does well enough and continues past the first wave, LEGO can throw us older fans a bone or two and release a few sets based on the old cartoons and/or comics or at least a set with Bebop and Rocksteady (I don't think they are in the new cartoon). Fingers crossed!

I'm hoping for that as well!  A $50-80 S@H exclusive of the original turtle van (w/ all 4 Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey Jones, and Shredder) would be incredible.

[Gryphon Ink]

Never got into the ninja turtles personally, but that vehicle is pretty neat.  I think the kids are going to love this.  I take it Ninjago has run its course?  Kids gotta get their ninja fix somewhere, right?

[Sandy]

I was a huge fan of TMNT as a kid - I had many figures and everything - but it never stuck like LEGO did (perhaps because my mother sold all my figures when she thought I was too old for them). :/

This new line seems to be modelled after the new tv-series, which is nothing unexpected, but I don't think I can feel the same "vibe" from it that I got from the early 90's series. Nothing beats nostalgia, I reckon.

I might buy some of those figs, though - especially Splinter looks very appealing. But where's April O'Neill?!
