Hmm, good idea!
I may have to try that.

Thanks Kez, it's a shame i'm getting so much like a nexus 7, cod black ops 2, Nikon L26, TDKR set and the batboat set that I won't get any just yet.

^ your welcome, it's also a shame because I love these sets but all of the 2013 superheroes sets come on top of my to buy list first but I may be getting one or two tmnt sets :)

Still don't understand why most of you AFOL hate this theme but like Chima?

Agreed.  At least you know these figs are turtles.  Chima figures look kinda like hedgehog-men (at least the ones I've seen so far).  Rather peculiar...

Back on topic: I am excited to see the play features of the Lair and the Shellraiser.  I think the Shellraiser's convertability to a train car is awesome, though I don't think I will be getting it at that price.  Also, I am not a fan of Dogpound, especially

Spoiler

having seen the previous episode, where he came across as a mindless brute who is nowhere as cool or powerful as Shredder.

I think the only superhero set I'll be getting is The Bat v. Tumbler and only because I liked the movie.

From my perception, a lot of AFOLs like this theme. And many people who dislike this theme don't like Chima either. Of the ones that both dislike this and like Chima, the majority probably just prefer original themes to licensed ones. Personally, I fall into that category; while I have nothing against this theme, I have no intention to collect it, whereas I'm very tempted to collect Chima sets.

Also, there's no need to post Chima hate in topics that aren't even about Chima. I assume you're broken up about Ninjago ending, but there are productive avenues to express a love of Ninjago without bashing its successor. Honestly, it's like the Bionicle vs. Hero Factory crowd all over again.

Someone over at Toys N Bricks has debunked the Barnes and Noble reservation prices for TMNT:
79100 Kraang Lab Escape $14.99 (wasn't expecting this one- a bit too high)
79101 Shredder's Dragon Bike $24.99 (eh...)
79102 Stealth Shell in Pursuit $19.99
79103 Turtle Lair Attack $49.99 (good)
79104 The Shellraiser Street Chase $59.99

Toys R Us has a TMNT Lego poster up for sale. This is similar to what they did with the LOTR posters just before the sets were released. My money would be on TRU having the Turtle sets in the next week or so. About dang time too.

And boys and girls...NEVER preorder from B&N. You will be sorry you did.

On another note, my thoughts were turning to potential summer sets as they often do. Since Leatherhead is already confirmed to be in the new show (some nice moc-up art here)

I was pondering how incredibly awesome he would look as a Lego megafigure. Eh? Eh?

[Hobbestimus]

I'll definitely be using some Chima croc pieces for Leatherhead if Lego doesn't deliver an official one, but a Hulk/Wampa sized Leatherhead would be awesome.

And TRU cannot have these sets fast enough for me.

Apparently my post got deleted too:

I noticed that the Roller Derby Girl from the CMF Series 9 has printed elbow pads...I really wish Lego would have done something like this on the Turtles:

Is that yours, Sci?
Oh, and down time deleted one of my earlier posts: the Hobbit poster came out in TRU a month before the sets, so this TMNT poster doesn't indicate that the sets will be out next week. But, judging by the patterns for licensed sets, they should show up in TRU next week or the week after, anyways.

[djmangunz]

So....Lego.com has the TMNT sets listed but not available for preorder yet. http://shop.lego.com...tid=5297814  So come on TRU and please give us a day to buy them up before you jack up your prices 10 to 30%.

[Hobbestimus]

TEASE!

Good point.
When I saw series 9 I thought they should have used this colour for the Turtles.

The crash deleted my post too, so here goes.

Thanks for listing the prices. I know it is Licensed, but some of those seem high. I was expecting the lowest three to be priced in lower brackets. Kraang is way too high. And I thought Shredder's bike would be where the Stealth Shell would be. I may need to rethink which sets I want to get. I may end up getting the Lair now instead of bricklinking Splinter/Leo and skip some of the other sets.

And I agree, that new olive green color is amazing. I can't wait for more bricks to be in that color. Maybe a modular sometime??

[just2good]

Saw this on a Toys"R"Us flyer. None of the stores near me have the sets, though.

yay!  Ninja Turtles!  Hopefully, they have it in stores by next week!

[djmangunz]

Thanks for the scan j2g. It seems like you boys in Florida get a lot of the sets first. Between that and the SEC, what else do you need? I call that the sets will be available on TRU.com by this Saturday. ...

Florida does tends to be the first place on the East Coast to get stuff first.
I'm hoping they come out Friday. I'll be checking everyday though. The TMNT sets are just too good to miss.

[gundamz]

I hope Amazon has them available at around the same time.

[CM4S]

Sets available in about a week:
