Brickpicker News Article and Discussion

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a thread on this.  What's everyone's thoughts on this set?  

Looks like an sesame play set and love the 60s theme but not sure I would have room for it.  

Lego stores description 

"It’s back to the Batcave with this special set featuring iconic elements as seen in the classic 1960s Batman™ TV show. Answer emergency calls on the Batphone in Bruce Wayne’s private study. Then press the button under the bust of Shakespeare and open a sliding false bookcase to reveal the secret entrance to the Batcave. Change Bruce Wayne™ and **** Grayson™ into Batman™ and Robin™ and slide down the Batpoles. Protect the Bat Lab’s Batcomputer from The Joker’s TNT attacks and test Catwoman™ with the lie detector machine. Fly the Batcopter with Robin and fire the flick missiles. Then drive the Batmobile or Batcycle and stop those villains escaping with the Batcave’s secrets!

• Includes 9 minifigures: Batman™, Robin™, Bruce Wayne™, **** Grayson™, Alfred Pennyworth™, The Joker™, Catwoman™, The Riddler™ and The Penguin™.
• This LEGO® model of the Batcave as seen in the classic 1960s TV series features 2 Batpoles for Batman™ and Robin™ to slide down, a selection of Bat-gadgets, helipad, plus a Batmobile and Batcopter.
• The Wayne Manor section of the model features Bruce Wayne’s study with the iconic Batphone, a hinged Shakespeare bust with secret button underneath, sliding false bookcase to access the Batpoles, and assorted elements including decorated wallpaper bricks, wall lamps, framed portraits, a framed fish and trophies. It also includes an exterior wall for climbing, with an opening roof for easy access to the Batpoles and an aerial element.
• The Batcave incorporates a hi-tech, 2-floor Bat Lab with Batcomputer element and a variety of detachable accessory elements, including a lie detector machine, table, chest of drawers, Bat-gadgets and test tubes with translucent elements. Also includes the iconic Batcave entrance for the Batmobile and a helipad for the Batcopter.
• The Batmobile features a dual cockpit with iconic Batphone, 2 stud shooters, an opening trunk, dual exhaust and sign stickers.
• The Batcopter has an opening cockpit for a minifigure, bat-inspired wings with 2 flick missiles, spinning rotors and a spinning propeller. A villain minifigure can grab onto the back of the Batcopter for more aerial battle action.
• The Batcycle features a driver’s seat for Batman™, translucent headlight element and a sidecar for Robin™.
• Also includes a cat.
• Weapons include The Joker’s TNT, Catwoman’s whip, The Riddler’s TNT and The Penguin’s umbrella.
• Accessory elements include Batman’s 3 Batarangs, rope, grappling hook and handcuffs.
• Includes separate minifigures for Batman™ and Robin’s alter-egos, so enter the secret doorway as Bruce and ****, and slide down the Batpoles as LEGO® DC Super Heroes!"

Hey now!

Hey, it passed the Comics Code Authority...

I know it's just his name, but I'm really surprised there's now an official sticker that says this:

I can see the hater letters rolling into Lego now

From the Mom's with too much time on their hands...

"My kid is playing with a $@&k sticker !"

Brickset is reporting this is available now for VIPs. I am unable to add to cart on Shop at Home US so it might be trickling in across all regions this morning.

A good one for dubba VIP.

It's allowing me to add only two to cart and says they will ship by 3/1. VIP's only....

This was on sale Monday at Legoland California.  They didn't have it built, but just the box on display.  Wow!  This is an awesome looking set.  The box is really nice and big.  I didn't pick one up, but will do so at some point soon.  As someone who grew up on the 66 Batman show, I love it.

Just picked it up at the Lego store.  Impressive looking box in person.

I don't have a Sandcrawler but it seems to be about the same size as the Ewok Village if not a little bigger.  Don't have both in front of me at the moment.

Buy in two years to sell in four years. Or part it out now, welcome to BP

I can't wait to pick this one up - going tonight!

almost selling for $400 on e-bay right now.  Should buy 2, flip them and then pickup 2 more with the profit.

Some rumors over on brickset that this could be an April promo.

I sure hope so. Rumor on EB the other day was that it was only going to be a NYTF exclusive. I didn't put much stock in that rumor but that did bother me.

With all the undercutting that's happening with this now being available to the public now, I think you'd be lucky to turn a $20 profit per set right now after selling fees. Price is already at $350 and dropping.

Simmer down....I didn't want to order any, so I didn't. It was a statement of what the current purchase limit is.
