Welcome, thank you for taking the time to check out my project.
Who doesn’t love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? That is why I’m proposing a theme based on the TMNT property. I grew up watching the animated show from the late 80’s and 90’s and still own the live action films on VHS to this day. I believe I am not alone in thinking why hasn’t The LEGO Group made this before. TMNT has a huge following, and I’m sure there are many people out there who are just as passionate as me about this. Let’s prove it by showing this project the support it needs to be made into an official LEGO® product.
Making this dream of mine into a reality could be very lucrative for The LEGO Group considering there is a new movie in the works as well as a new animated cartoon on Nickelodeon, and they could profit from the added demand for TMNT products and merchandise.
Just imagine how awesome a LEGO® TMNT video game would be if they got this license.

Potential Set Ideas:
These ideas are based off of my knowledge of the 87-90's animated show and are just for a reference point. The design The LEGO Group will come up with will most likely be different and more in tune with the future Nickelodeon animated show. I am also aware of the fact that they might only design one set based on this property instead of a whole theme.
The Party Wagon - $25-$35: The set would include at least 3 minifigures like Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Bebop (The Warthog). Obviously, the van would be included and it can be designed with the roof looking similar to a turtle shell with potentially guns of some sort on top. The door on the side of the van could have a seat on the inside so when you open it, you have a character who can perform a surprise attack. The accessories would be Leonardo’s katanas, Michelangelo’s nunchucks, a skateboard, and a machine gun for Bebop.
The Sewer Hideout - $40-$55: The set would include 2 minifigures and 3 Mousers (machines originally built by Baxter Stockman to exterminate rats, but were repurposed by Shredder to hunt down Splinter and the Turtles). The ones I have in mind are Donatello and Master Splinter. It could include a training area, a kitchen, a living area/room, and a part where the Mousers come tunneling through the wall. The accessories would be Donatello’s staff, training equipment, and a pizza box.
April’s Apartment - $15-$25: The set would include Raphael, April O’Neal, 1 Foot Clan Ninja, Rocksteady (The Rhino). The apartment could be on fire much like the first level of the TMNT 89’ Arcade Game. The apartment could be very minimalistic with only two areas to it with an open area where the main fight takes place as well as a balcony overlooking the streets of New York. It could have a bottom floor mainly so that it sits up higher and that it has the appearance of a New York apartment. The accessories would be Raphael’s pair of sai and a katana, shurikens, or both for the Foot Clan Ninja.
The Technodrome - $250-$300: The set would include several minifigures. Among these would be all of the Turtles, Shredder, Krang (The pink brain with tentacles), and many Foot Clan Ninjas of various design and rank. The Technodrome would be similar in size and scope to the current Death Star set but on wheels of course. The set could have multiple levels depicting different scenes for example a section with a portal to Dimension X. The outside could have a giant laser gun on the front of it much like it was in the cartoon. The accessories would be all of the unique weapons of the Turtles, Shredder’s Claws, and things to go along with different sections of the Technodrome.
