What do you think the turtles will look like?

If you've something else, I'd like to see it, too.

no no I mean't I've seen amateur photos people have taken at the Toy fair. Mostly Doctor Who and LEGO City stuff. Nothing TMNT.

Someone on here is bound to have them.

Oh. Yeah... I wonder if they were specifically hiding these toys from the cameras. I mean, they do know that would partially spoil our first look at the turtles. It's not like we'd be getting one over on them.

Well... aren't they just the lego versions? It won't completely spoil it.

The descriptions tease me more than the Legos could.

It's just LEGOs, but maybe they care... I just hope they're holding this stuff back for a reason. Like a sick reveal in a trailer, like the TMNT 2007 teaser.

Maaaan I love the TMNT teaser trailer! Shame that it's not on the blu ray.

Man - that trailer really was exciting at the time.

I feel like they're treating this movie like the deformed kid who stays locked in the attic.

As they should.

they are holding it back because they know there will be much negative buzz, Liebesman never made a good movie, pretty much everybody hates Megan Fox, shredder is a senior citizen. they don't have nothing to offer so they are prolonging to show us the designs, because that will be the straw that breaks camels back, if people don't like the designs this movie is as good as dead...

Another report from London Toy Fair

Though photography was both forbidden and difficult to pull off illegally in any case, our roving eyes on the floor of the London Toy Fair today have this evening filed a report on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Lego.

The takeaway point, for me, is that senior Foot Soldier Karai had a mini-fig on display when many other characters didn’t. I’m therefore guessing that she has a decent sized part in the film.

Here’s a bit of first hand, eye-witness testimony.

There were three movie sets from the Turtles movie: Turtle Van Takedown, Big Rig Snow Escape and The New Turtle Lair. The Turtle movie minifigs were on display and so close to the cartoon themed ones the design differences were obvious. They were certainly darker, literally darker, a darker shade of green and chunkier.

The Splinter figure was chunkier too and had shortened legs to make sure he stands lower than Turtle height. None of them looked too friendly either. You certainly won’t mistake the movie and TV versions of these characters.

I asked a little about and was told some things about the other sets that I didn’t get too good of a look at. One is a motorbike chase with Karai, another is a submarine set and there was also the Turtles’ T-Rocket too, but as far as I could tell, these were tie-ins to the show and not the movie.

Thanks again to our Little Bothan Bleeder.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is due in cinemas this August. I don’t even want to guess when we’ll get our first, public look at the characters (I’ll admit that I’ve seen a crummy publicity pic of them already, I wish I could share it – why all the bandages, Raphael?) but it might be a while just yet.

Did he release the pic or is he going to? But ok that description is kinda turning me away now. I went from a little bit of excitement to complete utter failure. I swear if Donny has the Michael Strahan tooth gap I'm gettin up out of my seat and walking out.

[xChri5x]

Lego is ridiculous. Were they always this expensive? I feel bad for my parents when I was a kid. I had no idea. ****ing hell.

[1984TMNT]

Yes, they have been this expensive for as long as I can remember. I'm 34, and they were definitely in the same realm of pricing during the 80's.

Ridiculous. No wonder I only ever was given 2/3 actual "Sets". The rest were just random blocks (much cheaper). LOL

So the Turtle Lair gets invaded?

Yes, that can/should be assumed based on the set description. Also, it sounds like there is an escape from a "big rig" at some point, in the snow. In the filming clips we've seen, the Turtles (Mike, Leo, Donnie) are captured, so it would make sense that it's most likely them that escape.
