Posted July 29, 201410 yr Hi guys, I recently went back to Lego after a 20 + year hiatus ^^ and I spent a couple of days designing the Turtle's van from the classic 80's show/toy. Always wanted to have it. - It can fit 5 characters with 4 of them seated. - The inside of the van is filled with turtle gadgets and...PIZZA! - Doors on both sides of the van can open with optional Flick Missiles for playability. - The cannons on top can move around. - The roof is easy to remove, revealing all the turtles' weapons beneath it. - The weapons seamlessly disappear when looking at the front of the van. Let me know what you guys think .
July 29, 201410 yr I really hope that they eventually make this set a reality. I had the official toy van back in the day. Very nice cartoony design. Brings back memories. :)

July 30, 201410 yr Apparently a Turtle Van is in the works for Season 3. Except a LEGO set of it. Here's a link to the upcoming Playmates toy for it: http://toynewsi.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con%2FPlaymates_Toys%2FExclusive&pic=2014_SDCC_TMNT03.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0&sl=23026 I think it will debut in the S2 finale. I really hope a set is made. Great job on the van, I like how accurate it is and how it has room for 5 minifigs.

July 31, 201410 yr Hey, cool van and plenty of room for everyone. It reminds me of the one from the Nintendo game with those guns on the roof.
July 31, 201410 yr Author Thanks everyone for the positive comments! It was a really fun build and very addicting to design I would say. The parts are being ordered so that the van can be build. I actually created a Lego Ideas page for this MOC if anyone want this set to become real. I'm not sure if it is against the forums rules so I did not post a link. Here are more pictures though
July 31, 201410 yr Brilliant. I had the official TMNT version as a kid. It was fun to play with. Definitely something I'd love to see with the cartoon LEGO sets.
July 31, 201410 yr Where do you get the pizza and the keyboard? The keyboard would be perfect for an upcoming MOC I'm planning. Edited July 31, 201410 yr by Gatthekid
August 3, 201410 yr Author You can get the pizza from one of the small TMNT set, I think it's the one with Michaelangelo and Krang. As for the keyboard, I think I got one from the BTTF set, not sure. It is a common piece in many of the tech/ futuristic/ star wars lego set. If not just Bricklink them Edited August 3, 201410 yr by Clive75
August 4, 201410 yr Awesome work... We might actually get something VERY similar, because in season 3 of the Nick TMNT show, they will be driving this:
September 7, 201410 yr Author Hey guys, quick update: I finally received my bricks so here are the pictures of the set. Overall it was a really fun set to build! You can support the set on Lego Ideas if you want. Just look for "tmnt van". Btw Thanks for all the positive comments! It's a dream come true for me. I finally have it!
