LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
When we first heard that LEGO might be releasing sets based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, we immediately got very excited. Today, LEGO has released all the sets in the line and here we have the Kraang Lab Escape (79100) for our first TMNT review. The set contains 90 pieces and retails for $12.99, which comes out to a whopping $0.14/piece. The box has two un-numbered bags and one small instruction booklet.
YourCreativeFriends are back with another review of the LEGO Ninjago Warrior Bike (70501). This set contains 210 pieces and retails for $19.99. You get two minifigures in the set: Jay in elemental robes and a Stone Soldier. Check out more details and play features of the Warrior Bike in the video below.

News coming out from FBTB is that all of the LEGO sets coming out in January 2013 that were on sale on Amazon have been delayed and put on hold. The add to cart button has been set to pre-orders and the sets won’t be released until December 31. I believe all orders placed before today will still be shipped to you just in time for Chirstmas. Speculation from FBTB is that Amazon violated it’s contract with Toys R Us which gives TRU the right to sell products to the market first. As you may have seen, we’ve been reporting that many LEGO themes including Ninjago, Super Heroes, and Star Wars have been on sale ahead of the scheduled release dates. Even the Galaxy Squad sets have been taken off although LEGO has already released them in stores as well as Shop@Home. If you were lucky to order any of the new 2013 sets, congratulations. For the rest of us, it looks like we’ll just have to wait a couple of weeks for the official LEGO release.
Our friends over at YourCreativeFriends has gotten their hands on the new LEGO Ninjago Garmatron (70504) set and has done a very nice review on it. The set contains 328 pieces and retails for 39.99, a $0.12/piece ratio. The set contains three minifigures: Zane in a new kimono outfit, General Kozu, and a Stone Swordsman. Check out YCF’s video below to see more details of the Garmatron set. Make sure to subscribe to their channel because when they hit 3000 subscribers and 400,000 views, this set will be one of the ones given away, but only if you’re a subscriber.
