Shredder's Lair Rescue Reviews
Brickset
“This set is a must own set for Turtle fans, the main model is very well put together and only has one flaw in my mind, the fact that the windows attached only by jumpers fall off far too easily. It includes four unique mini-figures and is priced well for what you get, being... More a TRU exclusive it isn’t that easy to find, with the retirement and discontinuation of the Turtle Theme you’re best chance to find it these days is the secondary market.”

“Shredder's Lair Rescue is a solid set packed with play features, including collapsing stairs, a saw blade launcher, and Shredder's escape seat with opening windows. The minifigure selection is strong, featuring Shredder, Raphael, Michelangelo, and unique foot soldiers. While the build is fun, the price feels slightly high for the size, especially compared to the more detailed Turtle Lair set.”
