I emailed Mega Bloks in The Netherlands, and they told me that the sets will be released here in the spring.
Hopefully this will include all sets (Nick, Half-Shell Heroes, Classic and Movie).

Anyway, if it's released in The Netherlands, then I'm sure they will come out in the UK and the rest of Europe too.

I would also like to know this, because I just purchased this earlier this week and I could get a refund for the difference.

It looks like most of the sets were part of a Lightening deal that has since expired. The Turtle van was almost $10 off!

Here's the Mega Bloks lair with some of the Nick figures. They are a ton of fun!

The Nick figures look kinda bad.The figures are missing a lot of paint,need more sculpting detail,on the belts and on the Foot Soldiers chest for example, and have no way of getting a regular turtle with out sacrificing a lot of paint or a crappy action feature. The classic stuff on the other hand is great.

Depends on what you're interested in. Both are great sets. Krang is more like a big figure though with not much more to it, while the Lair is a great playset with a lot of ways to have the TMNT interact.

I think Krang is more popular right now, but that tends to be because many fans are more into the retro classic figures, but the Nick set is really good too and a fun throwback to the vintage Playmates lair.

I picked up the Krang set just because the android body looked so perfect. I'm a loyal follower of Lego particularly obsessed with minifigs, so the Mega Bloks figs didn't interest me.
Now that I've actually gotten my hands on it I have some altered opinion. The Mega Bloks elements are definitely inferior to Lego, but holy crap these minifigs are so damn cute. Not a replacement for the endearing, classic Lego minifigs, but an awesome minifig in their own right.

I'm in the same boat. I'm willing to hurt my fingers from building if it means I can get my own large Krang figure because Playmates copped out and I'm not gonna drop $200 for the pricy 3p one.

I only have one FW style turtle so far, but I was disappointed in it. It looks great but those tiny feet and metal shell make it so easy to fall down. The all plastic Nick ones are much easier for me to pose and move around. Anyone else having the same issue?

Yep, I had the same issue! I opened them up, finally, last night to get ready for my review and that was the biggest problem that I noticed with these. They look awesome on the display stands though!! Can't wait to nab Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady. Saving up a little and waiting for some TRU rewards.

I picked up the Nick blind bag figures too and love them! Still missing the Foot Bot but I will be heading to Pitt this weekend and I'll hit every store that carries them in sight in hopes of finding one. I only found one Kraang too and made numerous stops in my surrounding area. Here are my personal codes along with some of the pics! I've been meaning to post these.

Leo: A25095MM (TRU), A08105MM (Walmart)

Don: A24095MM (TRU), A07105MM (Walmart)

Raph: A26095MM (TRU), A09105MM (Walmart)

Mike: A29095MM (TRU), A10105MM (Walmart)

Foot Soldier: A06105MM (TRU), A14105MM (Walmart)

Shredder: A12095MM (Target), A30095MM (TRU)

Kraang: A05105MM (Walmart)
