The turtles would look better if you bent their arms and legs a bit more

They are MegaBloks and have limited articulation Mr high horse.

It takes some ingenuity to reverse the setup of the roof and then reverse the other bottom set as well, but its worth the re-engineering of the sets. If you notice I used all black 4 brick squares as a support beam in the middle on the ground floor. Just replaced a black smooth tile piece and created the column. If you dont have that column the weight will not hold and it all comes crumbling down. I had those pieces left over from an old Lego build.

Oh great...this sounds like a bit more engineering than I'm capable of! I can barely follow the included instructions as is. But I'll give it a go.

If it helps my wife and I assembled them all correctly first, then I disassembled it and put them together in reverse.

u sell mikey with skateboard from the party wagon set?

Couldn't you just use the base pieces that come with the Mirage Turtle sets to make a support?

I've got the two street Showdown sets built as per your directions so far. Guessing some of the profit comes from being able to sell Shredder and Casey by themselves for around $15 a piece. You can re-coup quite a bit of your initial investment right there..

I wanted an all black column to make the support. It's small and blends with the floor pattern. Obviously you can use whatever you want. Didn't think about selling the Casey but that's a good idea since I have 2 now haha

Are there not solid black blocks that come with the individually packaged Mirage Turtles? The ones you opened to make this?

Found the Series 2 Blind Bags at Walmart unexpectedly (Also found the regular Nick and '87 stuff for the first time barring some of the larger sets) and used the codes to try and find me a Slash among the bags. Didn't see his code anywhere, but I DID find the Raph with Spike AND a bag with the code worn off and super hard to make out. Since I didn't see Slash's code anywhere after looking through like two whole boxes, I took a chance and bought the Raph, a random other figure, and the bag with the code worn off. First off, I opened the random bag. It was Donnie. Next I went for the mysterious worn bag and...SLASH!! My gamble paid off! Now I've got my favorite character in Mega Bloks form, too! Now I'm anticipating getting the advent calendar and having Slash join in on a little festive fun come December. ^_^

I finished the custom four part building using Coro's "build half of the bottom floor and half of the top floor like you are looking in a mirror" recipe.

Has any one built any of these sets and had a significant number of parts left over, not because they did a Coro custom, but because the factory put too many in?
