Nice Mikey keychain. Thinking about getting one of them. The splinter would be nice if I can decide what to spend $75 more on.

Thanks for the tip. I did end up getting a half dozen other foot soldiers (somebody on ebay sold them for 3 bucks each with free shipping and different weapons on each), kraang's meca walker (he can't do much on the ground flopping around), and also a few more mousers (Splinter wasn't too scared of just the one). I wish they made Casey Jones and some classic villains like B & RS even if they aren't on the new show... yet. Would it be alright to put a pic of them up in the very cool action scene shot thread? I looked and only saw the bigger figs in there.

Here's an ad that was in the Dutch Lego Magazine.

Bootlegs of the mini figures are already starting to pop up: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Frees...911510444.html

It was in the second issue, the third issue should come out next month.

New TMNT Polybag set. It's not much, but at least they are still doing more TMNT stuff.

The hope is we'll see more set announcements later this year to be released in the Dec 2013/Jan 2014 wave of stuff.

What kind of sets would you all like to see?

*Shark_Blade* · 06-25-2013, 11:33 PM

^Wow that polybag is so..

Can't they release more interesting stuff?

.....that's it? I understand it's a polybag, but....Man....

Atleast I'll get another Kraang.

I don't get it. Did a Kraang get ahold of the microchip that Krang used to make his exosuit grow?

it's obviously target practice for the robot, the target pins colored as the turtles are even on a table.

*Zulithe* · 06-26-2013, 02:55 AM

Yeah it's pretty... underwhelming. But think of it as an army builder.

Kinda sad, I can see these clogging up shelves. Kraang is just not a very good figure. The design doesn't translate to minifig very well. They should have given Kraang a custom head like LEGO C-3PO has. Might have helped. Unfortunately we all know how LEGO hates to create new parts unless it's something they can get a lot of use out of.

I will still get one if I see it.

*raph27* · 06-26-2013, 07:46 AM

As a HUGE LEGO fan, I think it's a great polybag...the 'turtles' are cute, and the only other set that Kraang (android) is the $60 Shellraiser. Polybags are usually $3 to $5, so it'll be easy to army build.

A: they won't clog shelves cus I vill buy zem all! And B: Really? I'm guessing you don't know much about LEGO? They made four new hair molds for the Lone Ranger which is only gonna last one wave. For LOTR and Hobbit they've made over 25 new molds. Only a few are reused. They made many new Star Wars alien molds only used once.

(P.S. LEGO is making a DeLorean!)

They do make new pieces, particularly minifigure pieces, BUT they try to limit new pieces as much as possible. They created the new Shells for TMNT for example, because there was no other acceptable way around that. They did not create a Kraang head though or custom pieces for the mousers for example, mostly because they could get away with not doing so. They are not very important characters. If it's as easy for them to create new parts as you seem to be implying, whey didn't they create some of this stuff? As I said, they try to make things they can reuse which is only sensible. They created new robot heads for Galaxy Squad but that's an entire new line and they are probably betting on releasing quite a few sets with them. There is a lot of planning to it.

I don't know what point you are trying to make? I never denied that they don't make new pieces when needed. But they don't just make a new piece every time they think it would look cool. There is TONS of reuse and hair is actually one of the most notorious. They reuse the same hair pieces CONSTANTLY even when a new hair piece would add a lot of character to a minifig.

It's a shame that there aren't any sets that include all four turtles. I guess that's their marketing scheme of having you buy multiple sets to get the green team together. The sets are pretty awesome, though. I never though I'd see the day that TMNT would nmake it to lego form.

*BigApple3AM* · 06-26-2013, 05:08 PM

That bag set was free at Toys R Us last Saturday as part of the Lego promotions they've been doing. Basically kids get the set free and put it together in the store.

*raph27* · 06-26-2013, 06:20 PM

@Zulithe I just wanted to say that they make a lot of pieces already, they don't need to make a new Kraang head when this one is fine.Hoping the bag shows up at Target sometime later on!

*Zulithe* · 06-26-2013, 08:06 PM

I guess i'd pay 3.99 or maybe 4.99 for it... if they tried to sell it after the promo. They do these giveaways and then later they show up in stores sometimes, so it's possible. anything more and i'd feel ripped off

If the minifig had some exclusive paint apps or something at least that would be enticing.
