Description

The vehicle at the centre

368 pieces go into building the Turtle Van as the main model, along with details for a small action scene around it. The 125 distinct elements are concentrated heavily on the vehicle itself – bodywork, wheels, interior and moving parts – so the build focuses on one connected model rather than several smaller sections. That makes the set particularly appealing for fans of the theme's vehicles, since noticeably more building time goes into a single vehicle here than in many similarly sized sets. The finished model works equally well for play and for display.

Colours of the Turtles' world

Light bluish grey and olive green define the van, evoking camouflage and the sewers where much of the story unfolds, while black covers technical details and tyres. Yellow acts as a signal colour, adding contrast to vehicle parts and accessories. This colour combination is typical of the range's 2014 sets and stands in clear contrast to more pastel LEGO® themes. Next to other Turtles sets on a shelf, the van fits neatly into the theme's darker, comic-inspired look.

Four figures, one chase

With 4 minifigures, the set has enough characters for a small confrontation, Turtles against opponents, very much in the spirit of the series. The combination of vehicle and multiple figures supports chase scenes in which the Turtle Van plays a leading role. For fans of the show or films, the set works as a toy for ongoing stories about the Turtles, not just as a model to build once. Four figures also make it possible to split the action into two sides rather than relying on a single hero figure.

Parts for vehicle projects

Given the vehicle focus, the 125 different elements are well suited to custom builds or as replacement parts for similar models. The full parts list on this page shows every part with its colour and quantity, making it easy to look up a specific element, such as a missing wheel or a particular body panel. Anyone building their own vehicle models will also find this list a useful overview of which bodywork and chassis parts are available in a similar scale.
