no weapons. being that they are keychains they are designed to be put in your pocket or wherever you put your keys, so anything that would easily come off isn't included.

you can remove the keychain part though if you want. obviously you will have a small hole in the head of the minifigure, but if you don't mind this, it's doable. many guides on youtube for doing this in the least-damaging way possible.

worth noting that the keychains are usually made in china. most lego pieces are not made in china, though this is increasingly changing. the pieces made in china usually have SLIGHTLY lower quality (like thinner plastic on the legs) -- it is barely noticeable but keep it in mind. for keychains they are more than good enough, but they are not 1:1 minifigure replacements, because if you compared them side-by-side you'd notice the plastic differences. it's the kind of difference you aren't likely to notice unless you know what to look for.

i plan to get a leo keychain when i see them.

Thanks for the comments!
Sorry I didn't mean to imply this was built with solely Lair Attack pieces. What I meant was the pieces I used for the manhole came with the Lair are not the color I'd like but they're all I have of that piece.

I originally had the sewer more uniform but it was just boring, so I went with a more cobbled look. I wouldn't mind some lighter gray pieces for around the manhole, but this is what the Lego Lair came with and I'd rather not dip into Bricklink for them. The elevator raises and locks into place at the top, and the periscope rotates. The two rooms separate just like the toy set. I'd like to incorporate some of the stuff from the Lego Lair like the workbench and shelves, and maybe make another room, so it's a work in progress but here's what I came up with this weekend.
I think my favorite parts are the Cheapskate, Bubble Walker, and Party Wagon go kart.

Very awesome

Just got back from a toy store, they have the new TMNT Lego sets! The smallest set, Mikey and Krang sells for------$20.00, the price goes up from there. The Lair is $100.00.

Too expensive for me, however I just bought the full-size Lair across the street at another store for $70.00!

Curious to see the counterfeits that come in from China, should be plenty of those.

I'm curious, can you only get the keychain figs at specific stores or is it a mass retail release item?

shop.lego.com or inside lego retail stores... likely the only places. but if you've ever seen other stores selling lego keychains you could check there.

Picked up Baxter at Toy's R Us tonight. It cost $4 more than Lego.com.
But they also had "Buy One Get Another Half Off" deal on Lego's.
I just have the Shellraiser left to add to the collection.

more converts

you know what I was just thinking?

they could do sets based on the upcoming TMNT live action film. the sales seem to be good enough to warrant that. hope it happens. it definitely would not be without precident as they've done both movie and comic sets for batman as well as numerous movie and comic sets for marvel (and tv sets in the case of ultimate spider-man)

[Candy Kappa]

I can see movie sets get a green light as well.

Side note, I found the Kingdoms Chess Set as well in the Lego store I bought the Kraang set. Not as cool as the Castle Chess set, but much cheaper.

[the fixer]

I'm pretty much counting on the fact that they'll release movie sets...
Of course, I guess that all depends on how well this first wave sells.

In any case, I did my share and bought all of them minus the Fishface set.
I'll be getting that later on...

I'm also really curious if they'll release a Traveler's Tales LEGO TMNT video game. Now THAT'd b e awesome!

[lilmotto]

For those with a Kmart near by they have the TMNT legos on sale:
$11.04 Krang Set
$15.99 Raph Set
$21.24 Shredder Set
$42.49 Lair Set

I also think they have a deal that if you are shop your way member (it is totally free) you get $5 off your next purchase if you spend $50.

Spoiler:
