So who's gonna reverse this for us to build? It looks totally cool. 

"AC Pin has posted a photo on his Flickr photostream showing an upcoming contest for VIP members in the US and Canada, who will be able to enter a prize draw to win one of 750 limited edition Bat-Pods. These are intended to be displayed in scale with 76023 The Tumbler and will of course appeal to fans of the Dark Knight trilogy.

Entry will be open for the whole of June and it appears that one entry is allowed each day, so you will have a maximum of thirty chances to win. To enter all you will need do is make a DC Super Heroes purchase or send an email with your name, VIP number and the word 'Bat-Pod' in the subject line to [email protected]. The winners will be announced in mid-July."

There is also one for $700 that is sitting there unsold.

As a BIN? I'm not seeing it...

But there are 2 actual auctions both ending within 2 days that will give us a sense of where prices will go.

Sorry yes, meant the $799 one that Gregpj linked.

The one for $799 is for "lazy idiots".  It's a bricklinked version. It's not one of the 750 from the contest (see description of no box or instructions).

Brickset Forum quote, from a European member:

"Astonishing. Took 25 minutes from listing to sale for 6 of the HF parts for a price of € 7 each.  I wish a had a lot more of them."

Good catch, what an A.hole.
Hope is not anyone here.

I hope it is and they see your comment because I agree - he is an A hole. Everything about the advertisement is intentionally misleading... check his buying history too. He buys from sellers who have an abundance of fake LEGO products in their stores.

Do you think the wheel and the HF part will be available again in Brick & Piece?

If you guys are impatient or worried about them discontinuing the Hero Factory piece (4623002), here is a set where you can get 3 per bag (44027 - Hero Factory: BREEZ Flea Machine).  Still in stock at Target and TRU.

That's a rare case of when box&instructions make all the difference.

I have to admit. That's one sexy looking box. Wish I won, but only so I could sell it and take the money to buy a bunch of exclusives. That is stupid money to pass up on if you won.

Holding onto mine, hoping in a year or two, it becomes even stupider money

This thing is almost $3000 CAD... Sure its cool, but not $3000 cool imo. Could get a used 10179 for around the amount this is selling...

Whatever floats your boat i guess.

Shhhhh, stop throwing logic into the conversation!

Well.  Wish I had won one.  Because if it's selling for that kind of stupid money, I would have gladly flipped it to get me a 10179.

Any ideas on what this will settle at price wise? Have one but not sure if I really want to flip it right now. Hate being so indecisive.

I have one arriving today. Flip now, wait till Christmas or hold for the long term? So indecisive...what do you guys think?

It was free right? Do you want to keep it? Or do you want some easy money now?

Price is only going to go down IMO. You're catching the initial wave of excitement which will fade when the next big giveaway or collectible comes around.

Go on take the money and run....

Why not both? Lol

All kidding aside I might just throw it up on the Bay just to see. I'm no eBay wizard, I can't tell which sold listings are legit so I have no idea what to set the bin at.

What a great candidate for a Chinese knock-off.
