Not incoming as we know of, just that it'd be great if they made future sets that incorporated them. If LEGO makes future sets, which they'd be silly not to do given the popularity of the line.

Love pixel Dans reviews

[Zulithe]

Who here owns the LEGO Shellraiser? Reviewers on amazon are not very happy with this set, citing that the vehicle does not hold together well. What are your thoughts?

Mine should arrive today but I probably won't have time to build it until the weekend.

Here is the amazon page with the reviews

And tell me your opinion! Plz

Hey.
We welcome discussion and sharing your creations here, in fact I think your buildings are nice, but you should NOT only be on this forum to advertise!

You have made 5 posts so far and every one of your posts is an ad for your site. Please stop.

I recommend looking on google if you don't know how to upload and link images on forums. It is a very basic thing to know and I'm quite shocked if you are able to operate a wordpress site yet don't even know how to use BBCODE on a forum...

Honestly, I have to agree abit. The van itself seems like it doesn't have enough support on the bottom. Fell apart on me a couple of times while building it, but it seems fine now that its built.

I can imagine this set not being the best for kids that actually want to play with it lol

The only reason I posted the website was because I did not know how to upload photos and to make friends on the site! I will google how to do o as you recommended and do such if I am still welcome?

I personally Love It. There are some bits that are put together with 1x1 bricks that probably could have been done with 1x2 bricks instead that would have made some parts feel a little bit more stable, but overall I've been able to have some fun doing little chases with other lego pieces.

The weirdest / best part is in order to give it a sort of curved top they used the 1x2 hinge blocks, 1x2 window pieces, 1x2 L-bricks, and a 1x6 flat piece. The idea being you build the hinge+window+L-bricks then close the hinge so the L-bricks rest on the flat piece. There are four in each corner and they can be a little weak since they have no real suport besides the bottom.

Another part I see people have problems with is the Wheels, you just need to make sure you have them properly adjusted and all four will roll when you roll the Shellraiser.

The one word of caution I have on the set is the Pizza Van, which slipped out of my hand during transport and upon impact with the ground literally exploded into all of its origin pieces again, nothing was left, and I had to rebuild.


Again opinions will be what the will be, but I love the set and have had a lot of fun with it,

Sad to hear. Well hopefully I can build mine Fri or Sat. I've read about a lot of people customizing their Shellraiser to be more sturdy. I might look into that if it is an issue.

You are welcome just please try to observe some common courtesy, if you have something to share please do. My advice is to put your website URL in your signature if you want people to know about it. You can get a free account at imgur.com or minus.com or just link images from your website. These are all pretty easy things to figure out on your own. Anyone who has their own blog such as yourself should have ZERO problems figuring this stuff out. Be adventurous and experiment, learn on your own and you'll likely remember it better that way.

Thanks, really detailed examination and some nice tips. I saw some videos showing how the wheels adjust and I found it impressive. Can't wait to put it together.

I would love to see them come out with a few more convention exclusive mini-figures.

[Zulithe]

It is possible... they do new LEGO Star Wars exclusives for conventions all the time. If it happens again I suspect around the time of the TMNT live action movie, where LEGO could do a whole new wave of stuff for the film.

[Scanderson]

Would love a shredder! Or give me a random, obscure character that won't have a regular set release.

[DonatelloRules]

I own the Shellraiser, Shredder's Dragon Bike, Kraang Lab Escape, and Stealth Shell in Pursuit.

Nice Raph's stealth shell vehicle is really rad looking, and I love the Shredder minifigure.

Thanks to TMNTClassics for these. No new sets (yet) just some cool ads. These are from the LEGO Club magazine, which is free by the way. sign up on lego.com

You can get all the pieces on bricklink for pennies each and can recreate the box in photoshop and print it on high-quality board to fold. sheesh.

minifigures are different because they are harder to recreate. I still don't think they are worth anywhere near $250 each but that's for you to decide.

I see you found my design! This Lego set is my creation! Do you like it?

[Zulithe]

yes it is fantastic! i hope to see more of your builds

[Shark_Blade]

^Very nice custom man. Bravo!

Just discovered Rockefeller Kraang (in torn android body) and Dark Leonardo. Apparently they're special edition for past event only.

The price on eBay can reach from $250 and above, each! Lego pls release them to the public soon, I can't with those money grabbing psychopaths.
