I was surprised to see that there were rumours of another big batmobile… but this looks incredible! Definitely need one!

That´s what they said about the last one and look at all the trouble it got people into.

Yes, but I think people will hoard less based on Tumbler experience and just buy for personal build.  I know I am as the 1989 Batman movie was a HUGE when I was a kid and I always loved that version of the Batmobile.

Full Disclosure:  No Tumblers were bought, sold or otherwise exchanged in the creation of this post;)

I think in this particular case, it’s appropriate for this minifig. If you think back to the 89 Batman movie, that “cape” was more of a plastic thing that an actual piece of cloth.

 

This. I remember hearing that it was nearly impossible to turn his head in that outfit. Minifigure = Accurate

Well at least the hype train is shorter this time around. Tumbler thread got to about 20 pages before the damn thing even hit the shelves.

Gonna get one at least, if not two. Would be a shame to see the set appreciate and not having one over to sell.

What is the trouble people are having with the Tumblr?

Yeah, compete with the other 11.257 people who have the same genius idea.

Turning a profit, mainly.

Might just be my personal preference, but I prefer a classic set modell from and old movie over a newer one. But I share the view that it is not a set to by of bigger quantity for a gain

The original Batmobile was about the only saving grace from that 60´s Batcave set no one likes to mention much.

Tumbler made a lot of people very happy, just not that many were resellers. However, it has still done better than any of the UCS Star Wars sets to have retired since then.

This new set may help Tumbler as some folk will want both.

Any idea when this will be released?

from the photos, can’t tell how that is over 3000 piece set.

Mid November. I guess there are more than a few cheese slopes.

A long time coming but here is the most iconic ride driven by the bat (possibly any superhero really) with a design easily recognizable by simple silhouette. The Tumbler, while an interesting modern warfare take on the vehicle, featured very little of being Batman aside from painted black (or very, very dark gray). I've said this before I know but the Tumbler belonged better amongst The Punisher's arsenal in my opinion.

Regarding the cape I can see both sides on the topic. The fabric LEGO has been using lately for mostly all their capes is quite good and flexible compared to the stiff sort of years past that may eventually unravel or get stuck/folded at unattractive angles and overall were just a pain to wash. However the molded cape with cowl here matches the material rather well and looks good for display over play.

I'll be buying a few at the end, its the best batmobile by far.

Wow, that was a low key reveal.

So cool

About $299, quite a bump compare to the tumbler

1500 or so more pieces though.

Pretty sure it was 249.99 here

Pretty sure it was 249.99 here

$298.87 based on the current DKK conversion rate

Don't forget that the DKK price includes VAT (often 20% and up in Europe) and the US price doesn't. Taking that into account makes both prices equal.

yeah it was a month ago I looked at it but that's what I remember,  remember saying it was basically like Joker Manor (few bucks cheaper) and coming out the same weekend that did as well when it was released on BF few years back.

Does look good though!  Looks like the captured the shape rather well.

The Brick Fan has some pictures of the promo.
