Description

A hideout beneath the city

Turtle Lair Invasion rebuilds the four Turtles' secret sewer headquarters, a place that in the show doubles as retreat, training ground and workshop all at once. With 888 pieces, the model spans several levels and areas of the hideout, into which the set's name already promises intruders will push. That dual role as safe haven and battleground is a defining trait of the larger Lair sets in the range.

Grey, black and reddish brown for a sewer look

The palette of light bluish grey, black, dark bluish grey and reddish brown creates the show's typical sewer atmosphere: grey tones stand for concrete and pipework, reddish brown for rusty metal fittings and improvised furnishings, and black for technical detailing. This darker, urban colour choice sets the set clearly apart from brighter children's themes and matches the Turtles' underground aesthetic. The full colour breakdown by build section is listed in the parts list on this page.

241 part types for a layered hideout

With 241 distinct part types, Turtle Lair Invasion offers far more build variety than smaller TMNT sets, ranging from training equipment to improvised furniture and detailing for the sewer walls. That range of elements makes the build more varied and, at the same time, provides plenty of individual pieces that work well for custom diorama or sewer-themed builds. The parts list on this page shows exactly which pieces are included and in what quantity.

Six figures split between Turtles and enemies

Six minifigures come with the set, likely including several of the four Turtles alongside enemies who break into the hideout, matching the set's name. That mix of heroes and antagonists enables direct battle scenes within the self-built lair, rather than offering just a vehicle or building backdrop. For fans of the show, the set works equally well as a play environment and as a display piece showing the story's central base. It also connects well with other TMNT sets to build out a larger sewer-themed scene.
