Matt tries to work out the plot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with some new LEGO sets…

Spoiler alert: this article may feature spoilers.

If you dont want to read spoilers youll have to guess how good we are at guessing.

The newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesfilm comes out either very soon or quite soon depending on where you live.

In the US, it lands on 8th August, which is very soon.

Therefore, I have.

Makes you question the point of the article, doesnt it?

I likeTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesLEGO.

So, yes.

Heres how I got on.

Thats why I dont think thats what happens in the movie.

Nice try, Michael Bay.

Before I get to that, I should mention that my LEGO building was hampered by distractions.

Im surrounded by idiots.

Im much more slapdash than this, LEGO.

Where are the shortcuts?

This is a really big, detailed set, too.

The lair has a bunch of different levels and slides and doo-dahs and things.

Although I cant yet confirm if its fully movie-accurate, I can confirm that its fully awesome.

Each set comes with a bunch of figures.

This is the only one that includes over-bladed baddie Shredder.

I did not cut myself on LEGO Shredder.

Part of the lair features a bank of screens.

Its either part of the story or a design choice.

Do keep an eye out for wonky graffiti and off kilter monitors in the Turtles lair in the film.

Lets assume the Turtles lair has attacked Foot HQ, because theyre fighting the Foot on the box.

Now lets think about the how.

That seems unlikely, though.

Im absolutely certain that this is going to be one of them.

Its very important to note that this set includes a LEGO Will Arnett.

Purchase accordingly, guys.

Again, though, that seems too easy, doesnt it?

Were not falling for it.

Clearly, something more complex is going on here.

I was struggling with my neighbours again.

Were not keen on the new designs!

They were pounding their fists against the wall.

Why?!?!?!

But he was gone.

Smaller LEGO sets are great if youre rubbish at building.

The Turtle Van set comes together quite nicely.

Then, you start clipping the big blocks youve made together and it all starts to make sense.

Thats what Ive been making!

It goes on here?

Oh, no, of course.

Yeah, thats dead cool, that is.

In fact, for me this was the noisiest one to put together.

I was also saying Oh look, that piece wasnt missing.

It was there the entire time!

roughly every five minutes, but that was consistent across all sets.

Its worth noting that this set is called Turtle Van Takedown.

What does that tell us?

We have to take the Turtle Van down.

I mean, Ive deconstructed movies before but this is ridiculous!

Looks like theyre really doing their own thing here.

But you couldnt be more wrong, I would guess.

I was able to put this one together in peace.

My neighbours had all gone to bed.

There was so much LEGO and my attempts to put it all together took me well into the night.

Then I opened the box and five sacks of LEGO bricks and three instruction books fell out.

To overLEGO is a real thing you could do, it turns out.

I put on a pot of coffee and got to work.

Its a hell of a job, though, and eventually (toy) bricklayers fatigue set back in.

Personally, I think they intentionally made it fiddly to draw attention to it.

What could BM53116 mean and what has it got to do with the plot ofTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Something important, Ill bet.

The big rig can spill out yellow ooze pots with a stylish S logo on them.

Possibly, this is the logo of villainous is he/isnt he Shredder Eric Sachs company.

However, I think theyre flagging these up as important, and that the S stands for story.

These have something to do with the Story of the film.

If only we knew what.

It could also mean Snow, which would tie into a theory I go into in the next section.

This set also comes with a tiny LEGO Megan Fox.

Big Rig Snow Getaway?

Oh, this is priceless.

The Turtles and April are clearly stealing the Foot Clans snow.

Weve seen how heavily bladed their leader, Shredder, is in this film.

Is it possible theyre freezing the worlds water supply in an effort to reduce the risk of leader rust?

They use a big rig.

Shredder will no doubt watch from somewhere dry.

Raphael and Vernon will then drive the Turtle Van somewhere and take it apart.

A Foot Soldier will blow himself up for fun and then Michelangelo will be free.

April ONeil will use her LEGO phone to rent a truck.

They drive up a mountain and steal snow from the Foot Clan in an attempt to make Shredder rusty.

This film sounds terrible.

Ive no idea why theyve deviated so dramatically from the source material.

But obviously we cant judge the movie just on my guesses, no matter how accurate they may seem.

That would be a ridiculous thing to do.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesmovie LEGO is out now and is awesome.

All the sets pictures above contain all the bits theyre shown with we didnt mix any of them up.

Well, real Will Arnett and real Megan Fox arent included.

Also you dont get a regular Shredder action figure or steak knives.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescomes out in the US on 8th August and in the UK on 17th October.
