LEGO Ninja Turtles 79117 Turtle Lair Invasion Building Set

This set and the "Big Rig Snow Getaway" set were the last TMNT lego sets i recieved, now I own every one of them including the lego juniors turtle lair. This is by far the largest, and most complex set. There's lots of moving parts to this set, traps, sliding doors, barrel catapult. The set is split up into 3 main pieces, which you can see on the box. They can all hook together inline with a small hinged hook/hole setup at the top of the sections.The figures in this set are great looking. The movie version of the turtles have a stud on their shell, so now Leonardo has an "X" shaped holster for his swords like he's supposed to. Donatello has some night vision goggle kind of things that attach to his head, and some radio contraption that sticks to his back. The shredder is slightly different than the TV series lego version. His helmet has some coloring, and his shoulder armor is different. The splinter has the stubby "hobbit" legs, and his head is a stiff rubber, not hard plastic like the other version. And, there's a generic looking foot soldier on a dirt bike, with a gun.The set itself is far more durable than the other turtles lair, which i noticed is a trend of the movie sets with the "Turtle Van Takedown" set being nearly indestructible, while the cartoon "Shellraiser" is like a broken bottle glued together with elmers glue. This set can be played with without constantly putting it back together. My 4 year old son and I played with it for about an hour and it fared ok.Overall, I love this set. I picked it up at the reduced preorder price and never looked back. Even at full retail of 99.99 it's a great value despite being above the goal price of 10 cents/piece. There's just so much detail, and action to be had here, not to mention this is the only set that will get you the movie versions of Donatello, Shredder, and Splinter. My favorite set is the new turtles van set, by the way.

I was hesitant to purchase this for my daughter (lover of all things TMNT) because it is so expensive, but I am glad I did! This Lego set is amazing, its huge and has so many pieces. I was very impressed, she will be so excited Santa brought this for her since she doesn't believe TMNT Legos even exist :) :)

Amazing set at a great price. This set has a lot of playability for younger children. I reviewed the product on JANGs youtube channel prior to buying it.

Lego is always my favorite .

got this for my son as a birthday gift in july and he still plays with it. It came with a lot of pieces and took awhile to put together, but well worth it.

My son loved so much. He plays with it every single day. Great investment for him. And being the one who put it together I can say the instructions were easy to understand and follow through.

This expensive gift came in the manufacture’s box that has already been opened by someone else with tears on the surface and ends of the box. I cannot tell if all the pieces are there but I will be returning if the pieces are missing when it’s opened at Christmas. Very disappointed so far in the condition it is the main Christmas present and it looks like it’s already been used. I don’t like not knowing before it’s put together if all the pieces are there it will be very disappointing for the children if we put it together after Christmas and it has to be returned.

In theory this is a great product. However, there were over 15 pieces missing from our set and we ended up taking pieces from another set in order to finish building it. Purchased before Christmas as gift for my son and he loved it but was pretty frustrated while putting it together because of all the missing pieces! And why is it now almost $20 cheaper!?!? Prices were jacked up to scam people buying Christmas gifts!!!
