The LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme was based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise that ran from 2012 to 2014 and included sets based on both the animated series from Nickelodeon and the 2014 movie. The theme was discontinued when rival Mega Bloks received the license for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
2014 LEGO Sets
2014 was a very important year for LEGO. With the release of The LEGO Movie at the beginning of the year, LEGO was introduced to a whole new generation and population of LEGO lovers, collectors and investors. In addition to the movie, LEGO celebrated the 15th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars and even more important was the decision to continue the Ninjago theme which was originally slated to be discontinued. 2014 also gave collectors the minifigure-scale Minecraft theme based off the widely popular game. New themes that year included Juniors, The LEGO Movie, Mixels, The Simpsons, Ultra Agents, Fusion and Disney Princess. In addition, we did see a number of discontinued themes such as Galaxy Squad, Lone Ranger and The Lord of The Rings.
