I wonder which head they use, if it's not a faceless one.

The lack of any printing is really killer.

You may as well chuck in the parts if you ever make a bricklink order. The very common.

As does mine, when I was a kid I never had figures or anything I just had a ton of lego. So whatever TV show\movie I was into at the time I made with Lego. I had Lego Batman made with a black spaceman with ears and a cape stuck. Ninja turtles were the robin hood lego men (as they were the only green legomen at the time), Superman, Ghostbusters.

With TMNT on the way that only leaves Ghostbusters remaining.

nicoga3000 · (10-11-2012, 12:33 PM)

Not into playsets, but I definitely prefer TMNT over the other themes that have come out lately. I'm actually VERY interested to see what they do with this theme.

Lego wants to do sets for properties that kids also like.

Meh, not really a fan of licensed stuff, I like stuff like the modulars, tower bridge, space shuttle.

I would kill for official Ghostbusters LEGO sets.

Hmmm ok I change my mind, this is pretty much the only licensed set I would be. Ecto 1 UCS, make it happen Lego! Or Back to the Future Delorean UCS!

Don't care about the sets, but I would like the minifigs. :P

My TMNT knowledge is...lacking...Who is the dude in the middle? That's a pretty fancy minifig (reminds me of the LotR golem in terms of size/design).

Yeah - I'm actually REALLY digging the Shredder minifig posted by MaizeRage25. I hate the Donatello face a LOT. Why the missing tooth?

It's based on the 2012 new series from Nickelodeon.

Yep, would definitely like some TMNT minifigs. I didn't really watch the show when I was young though, so I only know the turtles and April (mmmm).

Yeah the shredder rocks. Agreed about donatello which sucks as he's my own favourite turtle.

I think I'll grab the turtles, splinter, shredder and a couple of foot soldiers. Maybe krang but not sure.

I thought it was really rad that they included him as a figure, but...

The figure doesn't feel right in comparison to what I remember as a kid...I guess the show has changed a lot?

wetwired · (10-11-2012, 01:47 PM)

From what I've seen of the new show (which was pretty good I must say) krang isn't really a single person but more of a collective group of aliens that are brains inside of robots that call each other krang.

Tence · (10-11-2012, 01:47 PM)

Shredder is cool, so are the turtles (apart from Don)

Rest I don't really care for. (Is that Krang btw?...wtf man)

FallenCow · (10-11-2012, 01:49 PM)

The new Turtle van is complete crap compared to the original one.

Lombaszko · 02:06 PM

The licensed sets seem weak and uninspired to me lately, but I am sure they'll sell a ton.

I have a question about the Winter Village theme if anyone can help:
A few people here have said the Cottage is boring, and kind of tedious. How are the Bakery and Post Office by comparison? I've been eyeing both and would love to have them on my mantle for Christmas time.

Zulithe · (10-11-2012, 02:41 PM)

Now for them to sell a set that is nothing but a bunch of Foot soldiers.

The Broken Ska Record · (10-11-2012, 03:19 PM)

Damnit. I'm going to have to get all of the sets to get all four Turtles, aren't I?

Eeeeh. Maybe I'll skip it. Don't really like the character designs in the new show.

FallenCow · (10-11-2012, 03:20 PM)

Mighty impressive MOCs especially considering his age: WW2 Tanks!

The complaints are mainly the building process (which isn't that important to me overall). It's the best Winter Village set by far as a finished model in my opinion.

Agreed, but Shredder looks pretty awesome. Will probably Bricklink him at least.

What is that double sided grip piece he is using for the front of the tank? The ones he is using a bunch of for holding the tiles together that cover the fronts of the treads? They are everywhere in almost all of the MOCs that are shown.

I had to lookup the new Kraang myself cause that minifig had me a little puzzled.

I may be wrong, but having built a couple of (sorry in advance!) Megabloks sets recently I think it's not actually a Lego piece.

Or if it is I've never seen the Lego equivalent.

Do not like. At all.

E: But I blame nostalgia...

Also, regarding that piece, I'm not sure...Bricklink/Peeron time!

It's a Double C Ring made by Si-Dan. You can get it from various custom brick vendors. Very useful!

Silverbolt · (10-11-2012, 04:17 PM)

Wow.

The Bat and Tumbler look like shit. I expected it to be lackluster...but wow.

DJ_Lae · (10-11-2012, 04:20 PM)

Hmm. That Tumbler would look a lot better in black, but yeah, the Bat is hideous.

Both sets are a little disappointing. But I'll totally buy the Spider-Man set. I'm hoping for some more X-Men sets. Like the Mansion or the Blackbird.
