(Lego Studios; June 15, 2010)

     Several months ago, the Cafe Corner restaurant in downtown announced that between June 21st and and August 30th, 2010, free toys based on the two Johnny Thunder films would come with the Klutz Kidz meal. However, the studio has allowed the toys to be released early in hopes of increasing the hype even more. Unlike last year's toys for The Adventures of Legoman, however, these toys will be mini play sets that include characters that go along with the scene. These are the eight play sets.

Includes Johnny, Pippin, Babloo, Thief #3, Lord Sinister and Billy figurines. Also includes spring action boulder and track to "chase" the adventurers.
