Description

A lair built for traps

At the heart of the set sits the cell where Shredder keeps his prisoners, complete with grille sections and swing-open mechanisms built for imaginative play. Anyone familiar with the animated series will recognise the mix of action set and hideout that defined the show through the early 2010s. The 478 pieces spread across several levels and modules, so new sections keep appearing as the build progresses. For fans of the franchise, it's a tangible piece of the ongoing story around the four brothers and their rivals.

Colours built for tension

Black and Dark Bluish Grey form the backbone of the model, with Dark Red picking out grilles and other sharp details. Light Bluish Grey rounds out the palette and adds contrast between individual sections of the build. This combination suits a dark, industrial setting and stands apart from the brighter street scenes seen in other TMNT sets. Checking the parts list on this page shows just how many bricks come in these four shades. That makes the set a useful source for other builds in a muted colour scheme.

Five minifigures for one rescue

With 5 minifigures, this set sits on the higher end for its size, which makes it well suited to role play involving several characters at once. The mix of heroes and villains leaves the story open, with no single scene from the show or films locked in. Children who follow the animated series will recognise the familiar pattern of hideout, capture and rescue. Thanks to its compact scale of 478 pieces, the model can realistically be finished in an afternoon and then played with straight away.

Parts for your own builds

This set includes 166 unique parts, a solid base for anyone who wants to reuse individual elements outside the original design. Grille pieces, cell sections and specialist elements in black and dark red combine well with other dark-toned sets, for instance in a custom prison or ruin build. The full parts list on this page lists every element with its colour and quantity, making it easy to track down spares or missing pieces. That turns a finished model into a useful source of parts for future projects.
