LEGO Ninja Turtles Stealth Shell in Pursuit 79103

I bought 6 different TMNT Lego sets here on Amazon or local store so a lot of my review for each will be very similar - TLDR version - these are great sets, buy them.I'm an old geezer that played with Legos in the late 70s and early 80s. (think space and castle)I also am a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan, recently after watching the Lego movie and picking up all my old Legos from my Mom and Dads, I got the bug to pick up some of these TMNT legos.This one went together really quick but is still a nice set, I really liked the TMNT stealth car/bike for Raph it is a really cool design. Instructions are very clear and easy to use, bags are labeled nicely and all Lego pieces were in the packages - with a couple extra of some of the smaller ones you might lose.So the big kid in my loved all new pieces I had never seen compared to my 80s Legos, That Giant tire in the back is sweet, the tires now even have sizes imprinted into them like real tires, really cool.The Lego website also has some alternative instructions on what you can build with this set, go to the TMNT products page, select Donnie's Lab and then go to the alternative build for 79102 and download the pdf for that. There are 9 total alternate builds in Donnie's Lab for different TMNT sets.Overall I am very impressed with the quality and selection of parts in the kit, I also love the attention to detail that Lego put into these new kits, plus it was nice to see that they didn't skimp on parts when they could have, even in areas were you can't physically see the Lego parts they used some to fill in areas nicely and smartly.So mine will just sit on a shelf looking cool, but I see this being a fun toy for kids of all ages. 6-99

For the MSRP of $19.99, you get:Raph equipped with 2 Sai, a Foot Soldier Ninja with 2 Ninja Stars (most other TMNT set gives him a Mace instead), and Fish-Face.This new TMNT line really nails the sculpt of the turtles. Every turtle has an unique facial expression and body skin, so of course Raph is the one with the chipped torso shell!The Stealth Shell vehicle has excellent playability - the hatch opens from the top and the minifig is placed laying down in the cockpit. This gives the vehicle an aerodynamic design with the front slightly tilted down, and seems to be less prone to falling apart when pushed around as a toy car. Has 2 missile firing mechanisms in the back, with backup ammo latched onto the front.Fish Face also gets a new LEGO sculpt with movable legs and arms. Unfortunately, you cannot move the head so the figure stays pretty static. Its boat is essentially hallow with some bricks on top for aesthetic purposes. The back has a lever mechanism that ejects canisters of green contaminants in the NY City sewer system. Also has missle-firing action (which goes about a feet in distance)!

I chose this rating because it was an inexpensive toy that I liked that it is age appropriate for my five year-old grandson, and I recommend it for anyone in that age range as a gift idea. It was a theme that my 27 year-old enjoyed when he was a boy of that age.

I was pleasantly surprised to see TMNT in the LEGO world. I've grown up enjoying TMNT products and the cartoons/characters since the late 80's. Anyway, this set includes Raphael who happens to be one of my favorite turtles (next to Leo, of course) and this set fit my budget more than the other available sets. I highly enjoy the minifig model of the turtles as I think the detail on them is wonderful. The shell is pretty much perfect and the attention to the smaller details - including the facial expressions - are pretty spot on.The build for this set was rather simple and not complicated at all. It's also a great deal for the price considering you're getting two vehicles (Raph's and the sewer skimmer Fishface is operating), three minifigures (Fishface being exclusive to the set), and plenty of projectile objects on both vehicles. I like that they also included Raphael's sai because you can pose him with them if you like.The Stealth Shell could've been slightly better, in my opinion but it's still a nice set for the price.

My grandson likes all the Lego kits and has many, some large and some small. The come-back of the Turtles is a good idea. He will love this kit too. These kits are nice as you can go all out and spend big money or pay as little as ten dollars for a small kit. I even enjoy helping him put these together. They are fun and occupy children and keep them away from so much television. I would highly recommend any of the Lego kits.

My 6 year old grandson loved this. I had to put it together for him, and it’s since come apart because he didn’t put it in a safe place. Now the pieces are mixed in with his other Lego’s so it won’t be as easy to put back together. For Christmas, I purchased one of the Lego Junior sets. They come with fewer pieces and will be easier for him to put together (and back together) himself. I wish Lego made more of the Junior sets.

Can’t go wrong.

extremely disappointed with the size of the toy and yet the price is very high
