I hope this has not already been brought up in another thread. I apologize if this is old news.

EDIT: I saw that this has already been brought up by Zulithe. Please delete this thread.

That's interesting, So Mega Bloks now has the TMNT license.

It's unfortunate though, Mega Bloks isn't as big and well known as Lego.

Mega Bloks will get the TMNT license in 2016.

Here's the Press release for TMNT at Mega Bloks.

well
 

at least it's now Kinex lol

Wow, had seen the mention that Mega Bloks was going to be doing them, but didn't realize they were leaving Lego.

Will be interesting to see what Mega Bloks does for the movie.

They have a bunch of license properties, But nothing that Lego has.

The figures don't look blocky like Lego, They appear a lot more detailed.

Yeah, i like Megabloks better but their quality of plastic is not as good as lego's.

Weren't Megabloks the licensee when the 2k3 lego type stuff was out?

Yeah. I certainly hope a Mega Blok have improved since the 2k3 sets, cause they where of terrible plastic quality.

no TMNT Lego game and new Lego figures.

Mega Blocks :trolleye:

Megablocks wasnt great but Lego does even worse!

I am really sad about this, I would love to get some of the new sets and mini-figs they would have come up with. I have no interest getting Mega Blox sets :/

Nooo! What a horrible nightmare scenario we're living in! No more TMNT Legos! That only leaves countless other licensed playsets by Lego, what's next? Lego ignoring to renew all their licenses, forcing kids to use their own imagination while playing with their products? What kind of sick perversion would that be?!

Not to mention now no more turtles in the Lego movies.
Sigh.

I feel so old... I remember when the first licensed Legos came out. That was Star Wars. Now it's practically impossible to find original non-licensed Lego sets in stores.

I implore anyone who hates Mega Bloks to pick up a recent set. They're vastly improved in quality and nearly close to the same standard that Lego is, for a fraction of the price. While licensed Mega Bloks sets are still expensive, they're nothing compared to the sheer price of Lego ones. I will miss the Lego sets dearly, but these will be more than enough to satisfy me, given how Mega brands have had amazingly detailed minifigures lately.

Yeah that is weird, it's really ironic that a toyline that is all about building things would end up being a license hog...

I know! I made my own Batman Lego figures years before they ever bought the license... if they do all the work, whence cometh imagination?

Mega blox figures usually have painted details on their arms so that's a plus.

It's not about the quality as I am sure they are fine products, it's about the consistency for me personally. I have all the LEGO Turtles stuff and was stupidly hoping for a Lego TMNT game. Now next to those would be a totally different style of minifig, not to mention me having to start all over again and probably buy another version of the same set I have, just for the new minifigure, and honestly, I am just not interested in that. *shrug*

Wow that is new news to me. That's kinda disappointing but then again mega blocks is making some great franchise so we can hope for the best!

Oh well, it was a great line regardless.

Plus, we got Mikey in the Lego Movie. So all was not lost. :tlove:

I have the Battle Shell set from their 2k3 line. Not really accurate but still pretty nice. Plus you can just customize everything anyway if you have the pieces. I added some Lego pieces to mine.

I would freaking love if they covered the OT. Always wanted the van in this form. Please do the OT Megabloks.

People who complain Lego does too many licensed sets doesn't pay attention to what they offer. Just take look at their online shop. There's Ultra Agents, Chima, Ninjago, Bionicle, City, Pirates, Creator, Technic and Elves, Friends (these are more so targeted at girls).

I've always liked the approach Megablocks does to their liceses, so I think we can see some cool stuff coming out of this, but with their distribtion beeing weaker where I live, maybe I'll have to hunt hard for some sets

can you imagine the small little details in the bay-turtles in minifig form in megabloks? since they have the right to them maybe they'll make all four movie turtles with all the details, and better articulation...yes..this is great. sorry lego but megabloks got ya beat!

i can just see better turtle minifigs in nick turtle form. or even mirage.

Those Lego 2014 Turtle minifigs were pretty atrocious... not surprised they didn't sell.

well i bought all the sets. theyre pretty bad ass. i love the details in the printing. alot better than playmates version of them.

Yeah, but that's not saying much. They beat Playmates but it's not hard to do that. My issue was that Lego blatantly put out inaccurate product. They used such an early script that they made a Sachs Shredder and reused the Nick helmet for him when it's shape and look is completely different. I think the turtles weren't terrible from Lego, but the Nick sets were easily the best of the lot.

You know what is really cool?! This generation of TMNT will have Lego and Mega Blocks and Mega blocks have improved greatly on the mini figures and sets since the 4kids turtles.

Though I really wanted an official Casey, Bebop, and Rocksteady and just maybe one more year with some new lego sets and a TMNT Lego video game, but oh well.

No surprise. Sponge Bob was the first to make the jump, since tmnt is owned by Nick too, I figured they'd be next. And yeah, MB has greatly improved their quality.

The best thing about Mega Bloks getting TMNT is that it seems part of their marketing strategy is to release blind bag single figures for all their lines.

This means the likelyhood of obscure/secondary figures and turtle/character variants in minifigure form is pretty high!
