Lego is one
of those childhood pass times of mine that I thoroughly enjoyed and still
utilize to this day. With everything happening with my new home happening one
aspect that I am looking forward to is having a space for my Lego. While growing
up I always enjoyed creating large buildings that formed expansive Lego cities best.
In recent
years Lego has realized that their target audience has grown up and those who
are still interested in the colourful bricks have other interests as well. The
main group that seems to enjoy the building bricks are also largely interested
in Geeky movies and television. This is probably why the Lego Star Wars
franchise seems to always be in high demand as they continue to release and
re-release these sets.
Recently
Lego announced what their newest series was going to be and it got me super
excited because I had to share it. Nickelodeon and Lego have teamed up to
create the series based on their new rehash of an old show. The new sets will all
be based on the classic cartoon reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Here are a
few stills of the one set that has been announced.
Before they
made this big announcement however they released a teaser to get the hype
started. To build all the excitement they released a teaser set, it was a build
your own slice of Pepperoni Pizza.
This is not
the first time that the martial-art mastered turtle brothers have been reduced
down into a brick form. A couple of years ago Mega-Blocks had rights to that
franchise and released a few sets based around the movie that came out at the
same time. Just like marvel however TMNT has made the jump from the Lego knock
off to the real thing and it is a good thing.
Of course I
got some of these sets because I just could not resist the urge to get my
favorite Turtles in a half shell. This has been on my list of things from the
eighties and nineties that have needed to be Legoized, next up the Ghostbusters
or Street Sharks.
Sincerely
Urban Yeti
