Just a quick reminded that the new LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets based on the movie are now available at the Online LEGO Shop. There are three new sets based on the film, with the turtles looking very different than the cartoon based versions released previously. Below are the details on all three new sets. 🙂

Shop LEGO TMNT

#79115 LEGO TMNT Turtle Van Takedown Get past the roadblock and rescue Michelangelo in the Turtle Van! Vern and Raphael are speeding through the city streets in the souped-up Turtle Van to rescue Michelangelo, but the Foot Soldier has lowered the barricade gate to block the road. Check the on-board computer to outwit it and accelerate to top speed to crash through the barricade. Open up the side doors to unleash the hidden flick missiles and fire the roof missiles to hit the gas tank and blow up the gate. When you find Michelangelo, release the mechanical arms holding him down on the stretcher and crank up the van’s Turtle Power to zoom away. Includes 4 minifigures with weapons: Vern, Foot Soldier, Raphael and Michelangelo. 368 pieces. Price: $39.99 – BUY HERE

#79116 LEGO TMNT Big Rig Snow GetawayRescue April and escape in the Big Rig! The Turtles have come to the rescue of April and are escaping in the bad guys’ Big Rig truck. Karai and the Foot Soldiers are in hot pursuit in a super-slick black SUV so there’s no time to waste. Speed away with April hanging onto the side of the driver’s cabin. Grab your weapons then take the Turtle Power to the roof for a battle with one of the Foot Soldiers. Swerve to avoid the flick missiles fired from the SUV and tip ooze barrels into the bad guys’ path. When you’ve evaded the Foot Soldiers, open up the sides and roof of the truck to check out the amazing mobile lab! Includes 6 minifigures with weapons and an accessory: April O’Neil, Raphael, Leonardo, Karai and 2 Foot Soldiers. 743 pieces. Price: $69.99 – BUY HERE

#79117 LEGO TMNT Turtle Lair InvasionDefend the Turtle Lair against Shredder’s attack! The Turtle Lair is under attack by Shredder and his Foot Soldiers. Splinter, Donatello and Leonardo must split up to defend their home. Use the bank of screens in the surveillance room to keep an eye on Shredder’s maneuvers. Grab the weapons and defend the manhole cover entrance to the Lair. Climb the ladder and use the cool trap function to drop barrels on the bad guys. Don’t let the evil invaders explode the wall to the fan room, and if the Foot Soldiers discover the hidden door, elevate the slide behind it to drop them in the prison! Shut the cage door to trap intruders and make those villains pay for trespassing on Turtle property! Includes 6 minifigures with weapons: Splinter, Donatello, Leonardo, Shredder and 2 Foot Soldiers. 888 pieces. Price: $99.99 – BUY HERE

#79117 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I think the sets look interesting, especially the olive-green pieces, as that is still a fairly new color. The turtles look mighty ugly compared to the cartoon-based versions released previously, but they look ugly in the film too. I do like the new version of the Foot Soldiers however. If you do want to collect all the turtles in the new series, you only need to get two of the sets; the #79115 LEGO TMNT Turtle Van Takedown with Raphael and Michelangelo, and the #79117 LEGO TMNT Turtle Lair Invasion with Donatello and Leonardo. All of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets are available at both Amazon and the Online LEGO Shop.

Build a small LEGO Classic Spaceship

You may remember that on one of The LEGO Movie posters (pictured below) there is a sweet little LEGO Classic Space style spaceship in the background. As we have discussed in a previous article (see: The LEGO Movie – Benny’s SPACESHIP!), several LEGO fans have tried to reverse-engineer the ship just by studying the image on the poster. 🙂

The LEGO Movie Benny Poster

One recreation of the small LEGO spaceship that looks really close to the original was built by Peter Morris, and I shared a picture of it before in the same article mentioned above. Since then Peter has been getting requests for the building-steps of the ship, so he recently uploaded pictures that you can follow along with and build your own spaceship.

This little spaceship is an excellent representation of LEGO Classic Space, and a perfect companion to the #70816 LEGO Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! set. If you would like to build your own, you can follow the steps at Peter’s flickr gallery here: LEGO Spaceship Building Steps

LEGO Classic Spaceship Building Steps by Peter Morris

Peter notes that this is simply his interpretation of the spaceship based on the limited data available on the movie-poster. He is not sure how the actual model was put together (it might be worth asking Mark Stafford, as reportedly he was the original designer). Also, some colors of the model may vary from the original – this is especially true for the windshield, which is not available in trans-yellow… unfortunately. And if you don’t have it already, you can check out Benny’s Spaceship at the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? Are you planning to build this small LEGO Classic Spaceship? Are you a LEGO Classic Space fan? Or did The LEGO Movie start or revive your interest in LEGO Classic Space? Would you like to have the theme come back with more sets than just Benny’s Spaceship and the LEGO Exo Suit set? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉
