Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT Exclusive Technodrome Set 31501

I bought this for my son for Christmas, not knowing it was a lego set!Thankfully HE did! It is MASSIVE! He (by himself but for an hour or so his father helped when he got discouraged) put the WHOLE thing together in less than THREE days!The legso are sorted into bags for ease of putting together. My son (unbeknownest to us) opened ALL the bags and dumped them into a HUGE pile! If he had left the legso sorted in the bags, he would have built it MUCH faster.This thing is HEAVY!!! Also, it's STURDY once put together. Now you can't be moving it around, but everything that suppose to move moves.I 'think' two pieces were broken or my son broke them. THANKFULLY it didn't hinder him putting it together.My son is 10 yrs old.

This thing is fantastic! it's really big and looks great! I had a blast building it! The instructions and packaging are kinda lacking polish. The individual bags are NOT numbered by steps or stages as they are in pretty much EVERY other Lego or Lego style kits. So it is much more difficult to find pieces you need. With over 2500 pieces its a borderline logistical nightmare. Imagine if you will, you've built a big kit and now you've disassembled it and want to build it again, that's basically how the build goes. Still awesome and still fun to build. just spent a LOT of time searching for parts

Update 08-27-2018The last of the pieces came in the mail! Their customer service is just awesome. They fixed every issue and even did better in a couple cases, replacing a bit more than they really had to, but making sure everything was all set. I have no reservations about buying any Mega Bloks sets, so long as it's not both big and really old, since then replacement parts might possibly be a problem. However, I have seen message board entries that say they're pretty good about old ones even.So the set itself, it is just AWESOME. I have it sitting on my table now and I just stared at it for an hour yesterday taking it in. The thing is like you pulled it right out of the cartoon. My only knock is that the pieces don't fit together quite perfectly. Legos are always a tight fit, these will have some gaps. I had to make minor modifications using some of the extra pieces included, but nothing too major. There are also a number of gaps in the outside armor where things could fit better, but really it's a minor thing since there are gaps anyway that it has by design and they don't detract at all. The inside was impressive enough my wife even commented and she normally would never care about anything like this. With some extra parts from some of the other sets I was able to add some neat effects to the underside of the doors and customize it in a number of subtle ways like adding turrets. I thoroughly love this thing. I'm guessing it's big enough I won't have it for many, many years like the Turtle van, but I'm going really enjoy the time I do have with it while I do have the room.---------------------------With a building set like this, any missing pieces are a violation of trust. Previous Mega Bloks products I've had all the pieces, though sometimes they were obviously added to the box when someone noticed a missing item after the plastic bag inside was sealed. That occurred with this set too, but I don't mind one bit. I also don't mind extra bricks, even though it's a bit confusing, but hey use them for something else. However, I'm missing something like 7 of them total. SAVE THE BOX & MANUAL! Trust me, you'll need for missing parts.Their website has a parts request form. If you have the box it's super easy, just put in the codes on the box, the parts out of the manual, quantities, give your contact info, and done. It gives you an order number. However, there's no way to check the status on it and two separate orders, now a week apart, for this set and another email form submission to customer service on a defective belt for a turtle have had no notification of any kind. I have no idea if the order was actually registered, how long it'll take to ship, or even a certainty I didn't type my address in wrong; though I doubt I typed it wrong, I can't check. BUT.....unlike a lot of places they offer live phone support! Not sure if faster, but it's better info on the phone.I'm able to mostly build the set with a missing section of white armor, a half finished catwalk, a missing gray piece, and I can't hang the remaining wall pieces on one door without a shipment. According to their phone guys, the order should take a couple weeks to arrive so that makes me a happier camper.

Very cool set, was way bigger than I thought it would be, but that isn't a bad thing. From some other reviews, people were saying they were shorted pieces, but that wasn't an issue at all with mine, after assembly I still had tons of extra pieces, so I jut did a bit of customizing on it. Well worth the money, especially if you are a die hard fanboy of the 80s TMNT like I am

Built about a third of it to find missing pieces, it took 5 weeks to get the missing pieces in the mail. Started to build again and of course even more missing pieces so i gave up finishing the build. Stick with lego brand they never have missing pieces.

I went every where looking for this even the toys r us when they were closing down and no luck but thankfully I found it here took about three days but it came out a awesome jus the little gold things that hold it from the top we’re too flimsy and break easily

This thing is massive but amazing. Took a good 10 hours to complete. I added the purple fairy lights. Thanks so much.

We bought this for our 10yo son who loves Legos and TMNT. But unlike Lego, the pieces are spread throughout multiple bags, and the building directions are not as clear. He got this as a Christmas gift and it still not complete. His dad and I even devoted a few hours each thinking that would speed the building process along. He likes playing with the mini-figs though! (am I allowed to call them that? Maybe figurines of a small size is better)
