Apparently MEGABLOKS isn’t the only brick-based construction toy to have
secured a TMNT license. I know
that Byggis had previously produced some Jurassic Park sets, but this is the
first time I’ve seen the Turtles.

That may be the first time you’ve seen this set, but it’s pretty old, by the
looks of things. It’s got the old Teenage Mutant HERO Turtle name that was
created for the UK (where “ninja” was too negatively associated with
“terrorism”), with the 80’s logo, and the 80’s character style. You’d think
with how popular the Turtles were in the 80’s there’d be at least one
prominent webpage covering stuff released outside of the US.

My first encounter with Byggis blocks was
in 2000, and I never would
have identified them without Tore Eriksson’s
help. To date I still have
very limited knowledge of the brand, so they could have a whole sewer full of
TMNT (or TMHT, I guess) products of which I’m unaware...
Thanks for the input!
Dave!
