It didn't originally have a release date at all. So nice to see that they are releasing another set so soon. I don't know if I want to buy these or not, I'll have to get a closer look at them.

But what are the features? How is the acceleration and how well do they stand? Does foot or Shredder have weapons? Have u used the Ooze? Does it come off? Is it smelly? lol i think thats 20...

I'll try to give you a brief rundown of all three sets but I can't answer what the ooze is like. I haven't opened mine since I don't want it to dry out.

Rad Ramp

The Rad Ramp comes with Donatello with his bo, Raph with two sais and a Foot Soldier with a silver sword. All the figures seem to stand fine on their own. The only minor short coming would be that the waist and hip joints are looser than the others. As a result, if you place a heavy weapon (like Shredder's) in their hand they will tend to lean. Also, if you attach the figures in a seated position such as in the Sewer Slider the legs can end up connecting more firmly with the car than with the torso. The Sewer Slider is simply free wheeling though it does look pretty good. Each set does come with a 5 inch clear plastic rod that will connect to the bottom and allow you to play with your toys without touching them There is a small lab area on the left side that has a brown crate and a control panel. There is a ramp to jump over with the Sewer Slider. The biggest portion of the set is the slime trough. The barrel of ooze sits on top and can be tilted to pour down into the ceter section. It then is supposed to flow down the ramps towards the front. The right section under the ooze barrel has nothing in it.

The Battle Shell Bridge:

The Bridge set comes with Leo with two swords and Mike with a set of chuks with an actual plastic chain and two Foot Soldiers with two of the same silver swords as the other sets. There is also a small yellow skateboard included that can be connected to the clear plastic rod just like the sewer Slider in the smaller set. The bridge looks pretty good but really has only one real feature, the ooze canister. The right side is designed to look like a bridge, complete with room underneth to park the Battle Shell. The roadway looks good, complete with yellow stripes and overhead lights. The left side has the barrel of ooze sitting on its side on a turntable so it can be rotated to spill on the road o down below. The platform on the left side is actually one hollow piece so the only real feature would be the "hidden" cave in the back.

The real stand out in this set is supposed to be the Battel Shell. Overall, it looks really good. Mega Blocks included several small details that really add to the overall effect like the engine grill and bumber details. Sadly there isn't much to the van feature wise. The front roof opens to put on figure in the driver's seat. The back door opens so several figures can ride in the back. And the missles on both sides of the roof come off. Sadly the come off too easily; actually they don't stay on at all! The missles are also not balanced very well. They are back heavy so they will constantly point up. (I guess pidgons are a bigger problem than I would have guessed in NY.)

Combat Lair
The best of the three sets is easily the combat lair. Basicly it comes with everything except the Battle Shell. You get all four turtle and two Foot Soldier with the same wepons as the other two releases along with the exclusive Shredder with his bladed staff. It also comes with another Sewer Slider. It also comes with another slime trough just like the center section of the Rad Ramp set. Unfortunately the slime tough is a seperate section but only really works when laced directly to the left of the lair since the ooze barrel is mounted on top of the lair.

Darn submit button getting in the way of my random clicking again

The combat ring is pretty cool. It comes assembled except for the guard rails. There are also two clips on the front to connect weapons to. Unfortunately they don't give you extra weapons to put in them. The ring works by placing two figures on the disks prvided and pulling the string on the side. The ring vibrates and the figures move around. The effect is pretty good but very short.

The center section of the Lair is the best part. It is three stories tall and has several features. The obvious one is the barrel of ooze I mentioned earlier. There is also a training bag mounted on a chain that can be swiveled around in the lair. There is a training mat in the center along with a weapon rack. There is also a training dummy and a couch. There is a media center with a chair that swivels. There is also the garage door that really opens. All in all, a great deal.

Damn. I hope it isn't fake. I need a Casey mini fig!

[jestergoblin]

my local Wal-Mart has the TMNT mega bloks.

The ooze reminds me of the old ooze but I remember the old ooze being more clear hmm...

I've only got the TMNT Lair and I've been waiting for TMNT legos for a long long time...


Also, about the amazon Casey set, did anybody else look at the release date?

"Date first available at Amazon: December 15, 2030"

I wouldn't worry about it being fake just because of Amazon's listing. In my experience Amazon has the most unreliable information possible when it come to figures and toys. They jerked me around for 6 months about the 12" Michaelangelo Statue before finally telling me it had been canceled. That was two days after I received it from Target's website instead!
