Last night I discussed the first of the trio of Michael Bay TMNT Movie LEGO sets coming this summer, and now let’s step back into the sewers to check out the second set: the LEGO Ninja Turtles movie Big Rig Snow Getaway 79116 set! This set is packing some pretty generic-looking vehicles, but also some must-have LEGO Ninja Turtles minifigures! Will it be on your wish list come summer 2014?
Basically, the two vehicles included in the 79116 LEGO TMNT movie set are a generic black SUV (with flickfire missiles–ugh) and a fairly plain grey Big Rig LEGO semi truck (which looks like it may have a moderately cool lab interior–tough to say until we get better images). While the vehicles really don’t look like anything special to me (hopefully I’ll care about them more after the 2014 Ninja Turtles movie comes out), the minifigures are what make this set feel like something I may actually want to purchase.
LEGO 79116 Big Rig Snow Getaway will include six LEGO minifigures: movie versions of Leonardo and Raphael, a movie LEGO April O’ Neil minifigure (a chance to own a LEGO Megan Fox minifigure–be still, my heart!), a LEGO Karai TMNT movie minifigure, and a pair of LEGO Foot Soldiers minifigures. All six minifigures are valuable and worthwhile selections, although I know the new Ninja Turtles movie interpretation of the four turtles themselves aren’t to everyone’s liking (as in, “they look really creepy”).
I think it’s especially great that we’ll be getting a second LEGO Karai minifigure just a few months after the release of the first–especially considering that no other company has produced a modern Karai figure yet in any form! Perhaps what I’m most looking forward to is putting the Megan Fox LEGO April O’ Neil figure with the Shia Lebouf LEGO Mutt Williams minifigure to recreate Transformers, however!
The Ninja Turtles LEGO Big Rig Snow Getaway 79116 is expected to be released in Summer 2014, and will contain 741 pieces for the value price of $69.99. I’ll post an update when the full release details for the LEGO TMNT Big Rig Snow Getaway set are known, and you can ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook to have more LEGO photos and news beamed right to your Facebook Newsfeed!
What are your thoughts on the 79116 LEGO Ninja Turtles movie Big Rig Snow Getaway set, LEGO fans? Will you be picking up this set to complete your movie TMNT LEGO minifigures collections, or is the price too high on this set for you to justify a purchase?
