Let's gauge the LEGO TMNT interest here

Some seem excited, some not so much. A lot of TMNT collectors are so used to playmates, having other companies come in feels foreign :p So, what do you think?

Well, I already bought all the basic figures that have really come out officially, and I LOVE the TMNT minifigs. So... Both lol.

I don't care who makes the toys, if the figures are made well I will invest my interest and money into them

I'm broke...but I do have a kid, and if I had to choose, I'd choose Lego. It's more creative play, and every boy (and most girls, really) need some Lego

If this was 10 years ago I'd buy the Lego TMNT in a heartbeat, but as an adult I have no place to put them or build them.

I love that they're making them and they look awesome, but I'm not going to pick them up myself. I just hope this leads to a Lego TMNT videogame...

Just select figures, for me. I just don't have either the money or the space to devote to LEGOs, regardless of how awesome I think they are (especially the Star Wars stuff). :/

Both. But by both I mean I only want the Lego minifigures, not the whole sets.

That's what I wanted too, just the mini figures, but all 4 turtles are going to be seperated into different sets, which is kind of lame.

I'll only buy the playmates action figures to customize, but I'm sure my 6yr old son will want the legos. So I guess ill be buying both at some point.

I love Lego and love the Turtles. So that is a great combo.
I will probably pick up most Lego sets. I'm picking and choosing certain figures to get.

Probably just going to be seeking out the Lego minifigs, and that's it.

I'll be all over more "classic" releases from Playmates, though.
