📝 Our Take

Turtle Van Takedown is a surprisingly fun set that captures the spirit of the 2014 TMNT movie. The set includes a cleverly designed Turtle Van and four minifigures, offering a good balance of playability and display value.

This set is perfect for TMNT fans, especially those who enjoyed the 2014 movie. The build is relatively straightforward, making it suitable for younger builders, while the included minifigures will appeal to collectors.

Skip this if you're looking for a more complex building experience or prefer the classic TMNT designs. Consider larger TMNT sets like the Shellraiser Street Chase for a more involved build.

⏳ Appreciating

The Turtle Van Takedown set has shown a steady increase in value since its retirement, driven by the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and the set's unique design. While not the most expensive set, its relative scarcity and complete minifigure selection contribute to its investment potential. However, as with all LEGO investments, there are risks involved, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

📖 About This Set

Get past the roadblock and rescue Michelangelo in the Turtle Van!

Vern and Raphael are speeding through the city streets in the souped-up Turtle Van to rescue Michelangelo, but the Foot Soldier has lowered the barricade gate to block the road. Check the on-board computer to outwit it and accelerate to top speed to crash through the barricade. Open up the side doors to unleash the hidden flick missiles and fire the roof missiles to hit the gas tank and blow up the gate. When you find Michelangelo, release the mechanical arms holding him down on the stretcher and crank up the van’s Turtle Power to zoom away. Includes 4 minifigures with weapons: Vern, Foot Soldier, Raphael and Michelangelo.
