That said, Can lKevlKev come out and play...

I have posted on about 2 other threads. I am just always busy with school and this project. I don't have the time to always be on this site. I will try to be more active in the rest of the forums though.

My thoughts exactly. Lol. There were Mega Bloks sets back in 2003, but they were terrible just like all Mega Blok sets. Now that Nickelodeon owns the turtles, I think it would be easy to get the license since they already have Spongebob LEGO®

Ive got a fair bit of lego (the first wave of batman, plus a huge amount of classic castle and pirates from the 80s) and Id plop in my pants if they did real "fair dinkum" lego TMNT sets!!!

Amen to THAT!

I was unfortunate enough to have bought some of these Mega Bloks TMNT sets. (I'd been tempted for a long time and I was weak)

Comparing LEGO with Mega Bloks is like comparing the Playmates toys with the sorta toys you'd get out of a gumball machine.

That being said... Yeah, I'd LOVE TMNT LEGO! Sign me up!

Lego TMNT: The Video Game available for Windows, X-box 360, Wii U and PS3. Now that would be good!

I would love to have a LEGO® TMNT game.

The Turtles, Splinter, Shredder, sure. April, highly possible. Casey Jones, hopefully. Mousers would be cute too.

Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, nope, unlikely.

Let me guess; your ideas' Foot Soldiers are those awkward robots, rather than deadly human ninjas.

Why would you assume that was my idea of the Foot Soldiers? I really don't even know what you are talking about anyway. Go troll somewhere else.

OR



What I'm idealizing are the general basics who could work with any product.

Sorry, but your LEGO TMNT ideas would have been great, relevant, had the date been 1987-1996, 1997 tops.

A more realistic LEGO Turtles Sets, according to upcoming Turtles franchise:


Sewers:
Donatello, Michaelangelo, Splinter, Mousers, Michaelangelo's skateboard (if there will be one, next series)

Streets:
Raphael, Casey Jones, April O' Neil, crooks, Raphael's motorcycle (if there will be one next series)

Rooftop:
Leonardo, Shredder, Foot Soldiers (or Kraangs, not to be confused with Krang, although look alike, if they supplant Foot role next series)

Turtle Van (if there will be one, next series, 100% probably):
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michaelangelo

I of course would like a more '87 cartoon style but I do agree with the realistic. It will be modeled after whatever the current show is. Your Streets idea I don't agree with "crooks". What kid would want a generic thug? I would say whomever Shredder's henchmen are whether its one or two of those three mutants previewed in the toyline or another. I would not think Kraang would be in a rooftop scene. Why not Rat King in the swer set idea? Otherwise spot on!

I would almost say "Purple Dragons", like Mirage comics / 2003 series, but since it's Nick now, not sure about Purple Dragon usage. One or two of Shredder's mutant henchmen will suffice, who knows, maybe we'll get to know them just as much as Bebop, Rocksteady was in the 87' series, and Hun in the 03' series.

The problem is Bebop and Rockstedy are visually interesting and funny but not threatening while Hun is threatening he is just a punk who got lucky and is a very dull character. Finding the balance of catching fans interest and being threatening is difficult.

Then again, throwback sets could be made like the Star Wars series.

Maybe a set, two, on the side, limited production, to satisfy select loyal group of aging geeks like ourselves.

Otherwise, the targeted mainstream mass-selling, Wal-Mart / Toys R' Us toy section audience, is aimed at the kids, who mostly only pays attention, let alone knows, is what's on their screens every Saturday Mornings.


And, New Turtles series = new Turtles series products. If all products are only focused on the past, they might as well just only syndicate the old cartoons on television, and not go through with the new series, if they won't even try their hardest, to 100% promote them, with their legendary TMNT marketing merchandising strategies.

I thought the Mega Bloks sets were nice.

@ngroove

I've stated on this thread before that my project is merely an idea. The models and the description I have provided are just to give LEGO® a reference point. It clearly states on the Cuusoo website that The LEGO Group reserves the right to design your idea however they please. The Minecraft model that was released wasn't even close to the same as what was provided by Mojang. So, more than likely it will be completely different. I wish you would at least support the idea of TMNT LEGO® sets and not focus on the design I have given because the design is irrelevant considering they will have to work with Nickelodeon to make the sets anyway. That means it will probably look more like something from the new cartoon, and it might not even be the van.

On the question whether my idea of the Foot Soldiers will be those "awkward robots" or very skilled human assassins, it makes no difference. That will be up to Nick and LEGO® to decide.

That would be a great idea. You can have the current Nickelodeon style of sets and have one or two OT style sets. It's just like the Batman sets in a way when they made the Tumblr just because of the movie, and there is supposed to be a set based on The Dark Knight Rises later this year.

I feel I must say my apologies for the arguments in the first place, IKevIKev. I shall take my leave on thread now.

[lKevlKev]

I apologize as well. I feel I had gotten a little combative after your first post, and I really didn't mean for that. I was just defending my project.
