Timed to the start of New York Comic-Con today, LEGO has revealed that they have a brand new license theme coming up in 2013 that, as a company spokesman puts it, "is sure to be nostalgic for grown-up fans while keeping today’s youth at the edge of their seats!" Yes, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael -- the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- are coming to LEGO.
The first set to be revealed is The Shellraiser Street Chase. Check it out below:
This is LEGO's first official presence at New York Comic-Con, and they're making the most of it. Located at Booth #1538, LEGO is unveiling the TMNT line (launching January 2013) as well as the following:
- Two LEGO The Hobbit sets that will be launching in December 2012
- One LEGO Super Heroes: MARVEL set launching in 2013
- One LEGO Super Heroes: DC Universe set launching in 2013
The following giveaways will also be held at the con:
- Exclusive LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character: There will be a raffle beginning on Thursday at 4pm, and then on Friday and Saturday at 11am
- Exclusive LEGO The Hobbit minifigure: Takes place Friday and Saturday at 4pm
LEGO promises more reveals throughout the weekend, so check back soon, but I also wanted to share with you the method that was used to disclose the new TMNT license to the press. It all started with a mystery package arriving at the IGN offices the other day, which you can see here:
Hmmm, pizza? Tubular?
By the way, turns out they were right: Not really meant for eating.
