Very cool but $270 is way too expensive and i'm even a fan of the show... Holy cow, how much did Lego pay for the license?  Should be no more $200. 

I bet the set will be in-demand initially and turn into a slow seller because of the price alone.

i saw that. page 4 is messed up

Definitely not worth the 270$  Seriously... Only thing that justifies the massive price up is the wall paper because the rest is stickers, and even that we only get 16 of. One could argue that they have to do a new hair piece for catwoman, and batman's mask is printed too, but these things do not justify such a price... For 150 I would have probably said the same thing... I am absolutely not getting one of these unless I can find it for around 30% of RRP...

In the video, how proudly is he saying 'this is also a new sticker'... Who cares about new stickers? Perishable items. I get it that the graphics designer worked a lot and did a damn good job, but why not print more of them? I can't believe LEGO can't reuse the machinery gadget printing in tons of other sets.

Box may not have such bright, strong colors like the previous pic

I'm glad they put the whirligig on the hood.

I wont purchase one, they got this wrong big time.

Only thing wrong with it is the price IMO

Costs same as Ewok Village in Hungary. Hmh. Still very expensive. I will buy it because I have to have all exclusives and can afford it, but most people will prioritize other sets. Especially that TV Batman is barely known there.

Yes, generally i look at the buying price and estimate the future selling price. So on this occasion i wont buy any.

Or it tanks fast because of the high price and retires after a year. Anyway the price is most likely a result of outrageous license fees of the Classic Series, they seem to milk it especially hard.

That's quite possible and good luck to whoever starts buying them early in case that happens.  

Man.....as a huge Adam West BATMAN fan, I want to love this.....but I can't. 

The price point, along with the incomplete looking aspect of it (I'm going to have to MOC a good portion of this to make it a great display piece) has me thinking twice about buying this. Was hoping it'd be more in line with the Arkham Asylum prices/piece count. 

I think they should have done this as 2 different sets.  This year release a nice Batcave, next year release a good Wayne Manor that sits on top of it like Jabba's Palace/Rancor Pit.  Each priced at a more reasonable $200ish.

Looks like I will try and just get the Batmobile by itself on ebay.

For my personal collection? That's exactly what I was thinking
