I forgot to mention at the beginning of the month that the 2014 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets are now available at the Online LEGO Shop. The sets were highly anticipated by LEGO TMNT fans and we have talked about them before, but now that we have better pictures and the sets are in stores it is a good time for an update. 🙂

There are five new sets in the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line based on the animated series, and there will be three more sets released later this year, related to the upcoming TMNT movie. You can see the five new sets below with description and details, and I will also show you two of the three sets based on the movie.
