We were just talking about 2013 LEGO themes, (see: 2013 LEGO Theme Mystery – What is This?) so I thought to add this other interesting bit of news to the list: LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! 
There has been rumors circulating about a LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme for some time now, that a source from the LEGO Users Group in Singapore recently solidified. According to member chongcheng a staff of a local LEGO shop said that LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles key-chains will be coming soon, which of course could only mean sets as well!
Currently there is no information about specific LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets, except that they will be based on the new TMNT series debuting this September on the Nickelodeon TV channel. LEGO has worked with Nickelodeon before on SpongeBob SquarePants, which makes the whole idea of Ninja Turtles even more likely - although remember that until we get confirmation from LEGO, this news remains in the rumor category. 
Please note that the image above is NOT an official LEGO image, but a project on LEGO CUUSOO, I just thought to add it here for reference. KeTi’s version of the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is based on the original TMNT series, not the upcoming remake, but it still gives you a decent idea of what the famous Turtles could look like. And here is a poster for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series:
What do you think of the idea of a LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme? Are you excited, or LEGO TMNT is not something you would be interested in? Share your thoughts and discuss below!

Who do you think would win in a battle. tmnt or ninjago. ( that is if the bad guys work together with the good guys on each team)
In afight??? Ninjago would, just because they have mystical powers, depending on what version of teh TMNT you talk about, but then again even when the turtles do gain mystic powers it’s never as much as the NinjaGo have, so yeah NinjaGo would win
Um…. NINJAGO OFCOUSRE! No mutant turtles and samuri can beat ninja epic dragons (2 gold and 4 headid) plus multible samuri mechs and an almost invinsabke stone army!
This is Exiting!!!
Exiting?
Sorry, that was me again.
i USED to like tnt but tnt mb would make not good enough to replace NINJAGO
Oh no
BTW, you should probably put the M in there. TNT has to do with the exploading power (basically) of atomic/nuclear/hydrogen bombs. . .
or Nitroglycerin.
The whole fight would be based on what you know about the themes and your opinion……TMNT should have their own LEGO TV show
I loved TMNT when I was a kid. I honestly think this is a bad idea. LEGO needs to focus on in-house themes instead of all the licensing they have been doing. It’s rediculous. LEGO is a fantastic company but they are quickly alienating people like me who do not want to spend more money on less pieces. LEGO is my only hobby and I worry there won’t be much to choose from when the store is full of licensed themes.
I have to agree with the paying more money part LOL… and also th ein-house themes, please bring bacl Pirates and Castle
Exactly.
I agree too, (althoguh not a fan of TMNT) LEGO should do moer non-licensed themes. But it doesn’t make sense to me that LEGO would even consider doing another Ninja based theme so close after ninjago. It took years for LEGO to come out with another space theme after mars mission, then spacepolice, and then alien conquest. And it’s been a long time since the Ninja theme. Same with pirates, underwater themes – the only possible exceptions are racers and kingdoms/castly/kinghts. But on the other hand it seems fairly well confirmed. . .
Great points!!! It might mbe a good time for TMNT just becaus ethey have all the molds for the weopons from NinjaGo.
I’m okay with licensed themes when they ENHANCE an existing theme. Star Wars and Space. LotR and Castle. PotC and Pirates. These random licenses like TMNT and Sponge Bob just don’t make sense to me. They don’t augment anything, or expand anything. They are isolated on their own islands. Almost no cross over potential.
By the way, I was just in the Disneyland LEGO store in Anaheim,a nd they TOTALLY redesigned it, it’s sooooooooo awesome!!! They made MegaFigures of Aladdin, Jasmine, genie, Belle, and the Beast, I really wish that they were actual minifigs,s pecially Jasmine and Belle, since their dresses where soooo beautiful. The store is so different than what it was last year, I was like “WOW!!!”
Micho, glad you had a nice trip! any pictures?
Thanks Anna, sadly no pictures, we were in a hurry to catch a concert at the House of Blues, so I didn’t have too much time to browse around. We’re going back in November, so I’ll take some then.
The ORIGINAL Go Ninja Go Ninja Go… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLGRidfFo4 … GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!!!!
I have seen Lego Ninja Turtles where I live. There was a there was a thing wher there was customs, old sets, and minifigure, and mindstorms. They had Michealangelo he had a normal minifigure head and the guy said he soon was going to sell all four of them with weapons
It sounds like it might be Mega Bloks.
No they Were 100% Lego with custom printing in fact got Leonardo this year
That sounds nice! The Mega Blocks’ TMNT was okay, but it is the fact that no one bought it
THEY CAN’T REPLACE WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ALMOST HAVE ALL THE SNAKE SETS!!!!!!!!!!
THEN I WILL GET THE SKELOTONS OFF EBAY

Whoops Duplicate
TNMT has a few sets with Mega Blocks
also I changed my name from Mezmo
No strong opinions about this. Personally, the CGI promo for the show does not look that great compared the what I think about when I think of TMNT, but that’s the case with many reboots nowadays. Holding off a real opinion until we have confirmation and pictures. Actually pretty surprised how polarizing this appears to be based off of the comments.
I have to agree because the show made during the 20th centry was the most popular and the rest misfired horribly
Wait! If mega blocks made some TMNT sets, then it is an enormously bad idea. Why would lego do such a thing, I do not comprehend. Wouldn’t mega blocks get mad?
they did the same thing with POTC, once the license expired LEGO picket it up. The contracts are only for a few years.
Hmm…I thought LEGO and Mega Blocks were run by the same people
He-he… make sure you never say that in front of a LEGO fan. They might shoot you, or explode… anyway it won’t be good.
Didn’t you already upload that for us to read Micho?
And if there already lego TMNT somewhere, then why would lego do it again? And you know not everybody would like ninjago replaced with TMNT. It’s not just us that don’t. Both of my brothers, a lot of my church members, and my brother’s friends don’t like this either. I almost want to start a rebellion if that means ninjago’s gonna stay. 
You don’t even know if I’m male or female do you? 
For some reason that comment keeps getting pushed to the end no matter how many comments get posted after it. And Xi, please relax, LEGo has not even confirmed that TMNT will happen, much less that it will REPLACE NinjaGo, so let’s not get upset over something that we don’t know will happen, ok? I just think that LEGO TMNT would be awesome for ME, and a lot of other 30 year olds, and I personally would be willing to buy all of the sets as soon as they come out, so that is very smart for LEGO to put out TMNT, because I know a lot of my friends and cousins that are grown up will buy some of these sets. It will be a good way for LEGO to make money off of us and keep making other sets as well. Don’t you agree?
This is awesome !!!
COWABUNGA!!!
ninjago for life
My brother loves Ninja Turtles! He ALMOST bought Mega Block Ninja Turtles but I guess his holding out paid off! I may get some , I was a fan of the show when I was little. Plus they would look funny!
I really hope this is true. I think they’ll sell due to 80′s revival in toys. Look at toys shelves now and you find Transformers and GI Joe. And I think they’ll sell as crossover with the LEGO Superheroes and NinjaGo themes.
Has anybody thought of a crossover between TMNT and NinjaGo??? Like a team-up??? Even if LEGO doesn’t do it officially, how would you cross-over teh two themes???
I would put a Footsoldier squad with the skelletons… and have a little Nya Vs. Karai fight as well. Have MAster Splinter team up with Sensei Wu and fight Shredder and Lord Garmadon…. It’s be pretty epic!!!
Do the NinjaGo cartoons run on Nickelodeon? If so, don’t be surprised to see a possible crossover, TMNT did it with Power Rangers Galaxy in the early 2000s once. THAT would be COOL!!!!
WHY ARE THEY REPLACING NINJAGO? AND IF TMNT IS REPLACING IT I’M GONNA GET REALLY MAD!!!!!!!
I don’t like this idea at ALL! I think its just as bad of an idea as LEGO spongebob.
LEGO has not confirmed either of those statements. Actually I don’t think LEGO “replaces” themes, they just discontinue and move on to the next theme. So even if TMNT does get manufactured it doesn not mean the REPLACE NijaGo, maybe when NinjaGo goes it’s just becaus eLEGO decides to discontinue it, not replace it with TMNT.
you got it dude!
Hey, Micho I realise i haven’t been real nice to you, and I apologise. I don’t change my point, but can you at least apologise too?
This is very nostalgic for me. I grew up on TMNT, the original stuff in the 80′s and 90′s. While I’ve seen some weird incarnations of the turtles since then, the new stuff doesn’t seem too far off what I remember. So I am hopeful that these sets will be something I like and don’t go too crazy off the mark. On the other hand, if it offends every sensibility I have then that’s money I save and can spend on other LEGO.
OMG, Sarah, I was just thinking of you this weekend! I was wondering how you guys were doing! Nice to hear from ya!
I just read yesterday that TMNT is definitely coming. Supposed to be release in January.
Where did you read could you give a link admin?
Uhm… I wish I would remember it was a while back and I read so much stuff… but what I do rememember is that someone was working at a toy-shop and they were getting LEGO TMNT keychains – which surely indicate sets.
Alright cool admin.
Ah i found that post myself yestrday
Im alright with them having this theme im 11 and when i was young from age 3 t0 age 8 i was a tmnt maniac and it isnt taking ninjago’s place so thats good too as legends of chima is the theme to take ninjago’s place ,since ninjago is ending it will go with themes i liked, i never got a set from some themes i liked such as mars mission but if they have tmnt sets ill get these and LLOC too if i like it.
