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.

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.

Spidergreg · 02-25-2015, 09:29 PM

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

nimajneb · 02-26-2015, 02:37 AM

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

*Candy Kappa* · 02-26-2015, 02:56 AM

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

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 :/

*neatoman* · 03-17-2015, 12:20 PM

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?!

*plastroncafe* · 03-17-2015, 12:28 PM

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.

Orochi · 03-17-2015, 12:42 PM

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*
