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.

lol unfortunately thats most likely not going to happen. You'll just have to keep your eyes peeled for some going cheap on eBay. With a run of 300 for Kraang, and 500 for Leo, they will probably never go as cheap as you'd like

I mentioned to my mom in passing a couple weeks ago that I was excited there are finally Turtle Lego sets after 25 years of waiting. I had been planning on holding off until some good sales came up this summer before I picked up my favorites. But then she calls me back the next day to tell me she went out and bought all 6 for me and to come and pick them up. Hot Damn! I'm 31 and my mom hasn't bought me a Lego set since I was 12 LOL. Now I just have to find time to build them and then figure out a good way to keep them from my 4 year old without him getting too upset!

I wish I had a generous mom... and that I was more than 10 years old.

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

Spoiler:

Finally figured out how to get this now! So happy

My nephew is 13, and he's loving the ninja turtles.

He was into the 2k3 series, but he was only 5 or 6 when he was able to comprehend the series better. When he saw I was starting to rebuild an OT collection he jumped up and brought over all his 2k3 figures. He had a cool bo staff too.

Long story, he looks up to me, as his father and mother aren't....committed to him. He is 2nd place in their lives. As such he really loves collecting with me. He calls me the closest to a father he's ever had. He gets giddy when I tell him we're going to flea markets. He runs around and tries so hard to find stuff.

I recently made a friend in Atlanta, and his son is 3.5 years old and LOVES TMNT. His son loves it so much that he, the father, has started collecting. The father and I speak almost daily about what we found and where. It's been nice to hear that he's so involved plus I get the insight from his son.

Rambling now...tangent, ended.

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

I have it, it took me 2 days to finish it because it was frustrating to piece together with it not holding together so well. The front 2 wheels tend to fall off if rolled too much. I like it. But it was frustrating to work on.

I got almost all the set for Christmas ( thanks to my wife ) And it took me about 3 hrs to complete all the set and shell raiser has almost no problems. Only issue i have it when i try to pick it up from the top it falls off and the side come loose. but that Not the fault of the set that's my fault for failing to handle it correctly.

Oh well.

Would be lucky to get the Kraang one at least.

Lucky you, them minifigures are really rare now!

-----------------

So I got Shellraiser, Lab Escape and Stealth Shell boxes yesterday from the mail. After completing them, I checked the clock and it's already 2am.

I spent 4 and a half hours to build 3 Lego sets? Egad!

I didn't even realize how time flies so fast. A lot of time I was admiring the detail, so that could be it.

Anyway, about the Shellraiser. The body or doors didn't break off when I was handling it (and I'm known to be very rough). Only thing was that the weapon compartment always got dislodged from the door when I try placing katanas and nunchaku. Could be my harden fingers.

Just finished putting my Baxter set together tonight! Very cool set, love the mini figs! The "Stockman Pod" is pretty cool too!

One of the highlights of the wave for me... He's a lot of fun to build and has a lot more play features than you normally see in sets this size.

I know I'm lucky! Lol! I also have a set of the rare 2012 toyfair figs of capt America and ironman! They are the most valuable figs in existence

SS Kakarot · 02-01-2013, 11:24 AM

The Entertainer (UK) also has the Lego sets listed as coming soon, no Baxter though.

*Zulithe* · 02-01-2013, 12:40 PM

Anyone figure out where Baxter will be available the UK or other parts of europe? Only in LEGO stores?

*Shark_Blade* · 02-01-2013, 07:03 PM

^Just get it off eBay, much more effortless. I got it around the same price as Lego website luckily.

Anyway, I've built 5 sets now. Baxter's robot is bulky and HUGE, I like it. And it didn't fell apart or anything, very solid. I like that his face and April have two sides - the normal and fierce expression lol.

Shredder's bike is a badass. I love the dragon head piece at the above front wheel. And that japanese flag, so exotic. If only I know what it says lmao.

Waiting for my last set - The Turtle Lair. Can't wait for Splinter.
