I’m absolutely certain that this is going to be one of them. That seems unlikely, though.Ī moving lair, with the Turtles and Splinter battling Shredder and his masked henchmen inside it, doesn’t have any precedent in Ninja Turtles lore, but I think we’re all expecting some new ideas to be explored in the upcoming movie.
While I didn’t spot any robot controls when putting the set together, it also possible that the lair is a giant transforming robot. It’s weird that they’ve not included any footage of this in the trailer as it will no doubt look spectacular. There’s also an implied method the lair is clearly doused in mutagen, comes to life and gets fighty. While it might seem extraordinary that a chunk of underground sewer could attack anything, we’re dealing with a story about mutated animals who are skilled martial artists, so there are already examples of abnormality. This set is called Turtle Lair Invasion, which suggests two questions what could the Turtles’ lair invade, and how could it do it? Let’s assume the Turtles’ lair has attacked Foot HQ, because they’re fighting the Foot on the box. Here’s a screenshot of the moment as it appears in the trailer, though (or a recreation using an action figure and some colouring pens, whatever). I’d love to show you a picture of it, but I was losing a decent amount of blood and it likely would have ruined the photo. I cut myself on the steak knives I was attempting to tape to his arms to recreate the shot in the trailer of him mega-ing up. This is the only one that includes over-bladed baddie Shredder. Although I can’t yet confirm if it’s fully movie-accurate, I can confirm that it’s fully awesome.Įach set comes with a bunch of figures. The lair has a bunch of different levels and slides and doo-dahs and things. That said, on a set as large as this one there comes a point where you start to resent LEGO for making you build something so detailed.
The first observation I made, and it’s one that’s stuck with me putting these three sets together, is that the brilliance of LEGO is that the construction element forces you to notice how incredibly detailed and well-designed they are. Someone from upstairs popped down, too, and shouted “You’re never going to put together LEGO as well as someone has previously put LEGO together – I hope something awful happens to you!” through my letterbox. My neighbours grew up with every privilege in the world and they’re never even going to see my finished LEGO. My neighbours had seen some of my previous, admittedly disastrous, LEGO attempts and, having been LEGO fans growing up, kept shouting “You’re ruining our childhood!” through the wall. Nice try, Michael Bay.īefore I get to that, I should mention that my LEGO building was hampered by distractions. That’s why I don’t think that’s what happens in the movie. Villainous Shredder leads the Foot Clan in an attack on the Turtles’ lair is the obvious interpretation of this set.
#TMNT LEGO MOVIE#
Den Of Geek puts together the three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie LEGO sets and try to construct the plot of the film. However, my knowledge of Teenage Mutant Ninja Trivia and a misplaced belief that I’m marginally above average has made me confident that I can perform the task quickly and with 100 percent accuracy. That means that the average person living in the UK has two and a half months to work out roughly what happens in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film based on the LEGO sets, should they be so inclined (and I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t be). Thanks to the weird way in which the world of international movie promotion works, all of the LEGO sets based on the film will be coming out in the UK on 1st August. As someone who is eagerly anticipating the film I’d like to take this opportunity to loudly boo the later UK release. Here in the UK, we’re not getting it until 17th October, which is the far end of quite soon. In the US, it lands on 8th August, which is very soon. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film comes out either very soon or quite soon depending on where you live. If you don’t want to read spoilers you’ll have to guess how good we are at guessing. Spoiler alert: this article may feature spoilers.
