The_Chosen_1 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for sharing!! All of the sets look fantastic. What great additions to last year's sets. Quote
lord raphael Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The Karai bike set looks amazing a good hair piece and in the the background is a news paper.I checked on the site which just2good showed and it says the sets will be released on the 6/5/14. No will are forsaken to wait this long?Why! Quote
Dayton Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I think the motorbike is a bit too..... much. Reminds me of the Catwoman Pursuit set. other then that all other three sets are great! Edited January 24, 2014 by Dayton Quote
KingPixels Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The sets look amazing! Leatherhead's legs look really goofy though. Quote
Hrafnblod Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I think the motorbike is a bit too..... much. Reminds me of the Catwoman Pursuit set. other then that all other three sets are great! Too much? It is similar to the Catwoman pursuit but there's only so much you can do in a $13 set with a motorcycle. Quote
refriedbeans Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I love these! I might need to pick some of last year's sets up! Any suggestions? (I have the polybag) Quote
just2good Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 I love these! I might need to pick some of last year's sets up! Any suggestions? (I have the polybag) Baxter's Robot Rampage is amazing, but the Turtle Lair is GOAT. I need to pick up the Lair set. You can find Baxter's Robot Rampage for cheap, as it has been going on sale a lot recently. Quote

CM4Sci Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 GOAT? Google says 'greatest of all time' -Sci Quote
KingPixels Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 And does it bother anyone else that Leo was the only one not to get a 'tactical' variant figure? Quote
just2good Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) GOAT? I'm really curious to see the inside of the sub. That can really make or break the set for me. I really started liking the Shellraiser set once we saw better pictures of the underside and inside. Still regret not picking that set up. And does it bother anyone else that Leo was the only one not to get a 'tactical' variant figure? Doesn't the version in the Turtle Sub have the tactical design?

Hrafnblod Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I love these! I might need to pick some of last year's sets up! Any suggestions? (I have the polybag) I picked up the Lair, the cheapest set (forget the name) and the Dragon bike just to have Shredder and the four turtles. Not a huge fan of the smaller sets I have but the lair is a decent set. It doesn't really fit well into a display setup with other sets, imo, but I like the details on it a lot. I've heard the Shellraiser is good but couldn't fit it in my budget really and I don't need Dogpound. I'm really curious to see the inside of the sub. That can really make or break the set for me.

Doesn't the version in the Turtle Sub have the tactical design? I hear that, I like the outside a lot, really wanna see the interior. Edited January 24, 2014 by Hrafnblod Quote
tkatt Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm glad to see Leo in a smaller set. I didn't want to shell out a lot of money to collect all four of the turtles. Quote
just2good Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 I'm glad to see Leo in a smaller set. I didn't want to shell out a lot of money to collect all four of the turtles. Nice pun! I agree! An exclusive Leo in the small set makes that set. Karai also comes in the $70 film set, so I wonder if this version of her will be exclusive. Quote

jonwil Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It's also mind-boggling why they get so many while we're stuck with the same crappy Spider-Man over and over I suspect we keep getting the same Spider-Man because all of the Spider-Man sets are tied to the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and that cartoon only has one style for Spidey. (I suspect it was Marvel that made the decision, not LEGO since it seems that Marvel wants to promote Ultimate Spider-Man rather than other versions of Spidey.) Quote

(I suspect it was Marvel that made the decision, not LEGO since it seems that Marvel wants to promote Ultimate Spider-Man rather than other versions of Spidey.) The cartoon actually does feature the Iron Spider costume. I think Black Suit spidey too. Would be cool if we could get a Miles Morales version, maybe he'll make his way into the show somehow (since he's from the ultimate universe in the comics). Quote
Suspsy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Funny how Leo is the only Turtle not to have a new costume. I love the Leatherhead minifigure. Too bad he comes in the most expensive set. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I ultimately like the set builds better this wave, but I liked the characters better in the first wave. I also only bought the right sets to have shredder, splinter, and the four turtles. And I picked up a few extra for soldiers, just to relive my youth of the 90s. I may pick up the cheapest set for the figures and then wait and see how the movie sets look. Quote
Kintobor Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Oh wow, these look really good! The sub in particular looks excellent! And Karai! Lego did a bang on job for Karai! Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 He found them here. -Sci Thanks, but it seems he had his post edited! Can't wait to own that Karai, and I agree the previous posts that Baxters Robot Rampage is a great place to start, the build is great (though the legs aren't that sturdy) and April, Don and Baxter are great starter figs, it was also the first TMNT set I bought, and the only other one I have is Shredders Dragon bike (which has a very awkward design). Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I like the Karai set from the picture we have. I don't know anything about the character (Was she in the 80s cartoon?) but the figure looks promising. A new hair mold is always welcome. Is it also the first time that motorcycle is in black? Leo looks battle damaged, too. Neat. Spiderbytes seems accurate to the show but I didn't like him all that well there either. I'd actually be more interested in how Vick looks and if he could be used to make other characters. I haven't seen far enough into the new show to see the T-Rawket. The set doesn't excite me, though. Not a fan of how Leatherhead looks. He wasn't my favorite character from the old cartoon, so he's not exactly high on the priority list for me. The sub itself is very nice looking. Really, I knew it would take something more than this for me to get interested in a further wave after getting all four turtles last year. I"m sure the target audience will be all over these, though. They look like they'd really appeal to kids who would otherwise buy action figures. Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm unsure if she appeared in the 80's cartoon, but I know that she did appear in the 2007 TMNT animated film, and she has appeared prominently in their comics for years, so she isn't a made up character, if that was what you were trying to get behind. And was Leatherhead a character before this? I'm not big on the Turtles so I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't aware of his presence. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 In other news, an image has been floating around of a Halloween costume of the new movie Mikey How should we expect the figure..? -Sci Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I Wouldn't mind having that, the jeans would look really cool on them. Quote
