Finally, a new Batman set that doesn't look like a downgrade of the earlier sets - 1,619 pieces! '' target='_blank'>>

it will stay with Lego.com, Target, Amazon, Walmart on line only

LEGO exclusives seem to usually be only available online at all. You may find one in a physical LEGO Store, but I cannot confirm that myself. It is a little odd how you can order a "Fire Brigade" from Walmart's website, and yet not be able to buy one in store. Maybe instead of calling them 'LEGO Exclusives', they should be called 'Online Exclusives', considering their general availability.

They will be available from other online retail stores eventually.

There are plenty at my lego store and one on display.....for those of you thinking/hoping it has a modular feel to it, to me it does not.

Question......will this set come on to Amazon or is it a lego shop exclusive??? Should i wait for the amazon discounts??

If I'm not mistaken amazon will not sell it directly, but third parties might have it available at some point.

My guess is the closest we'll get to a discount on this one is probably double VIP points at some point, right?

It will be available at Amazon eventually.

Looks like this set is finally making into the big box stores, at least online.

Can't wait to get my hands on it for a 30% discount!

Good stuff, hopefully we will start seeing some sales for this one soon! Target needs to get a handle on things though, charging more than LEGO Shop at Home is just dumb.

This is on my radar.... But I think my investment budget may go elsewhere. Still a great set though. Will have to watch this closely.

This is one of the few Batman sets that looks better than the first version they made.

I just noticed this set at walmart.com last night. I doubt you'll ever see it in the store though.

I am still waiting for the Haunted House to go on sale. My list of big sets I want keeps on growing.

I thought this set was a LEGO Shop at Home exclusive, but whatever...

Awesome! Very happy!

It was for a while, similar to other exclusive sets like this.

About time. The sooner it hits the international amazons the better!

Just checked and this set is on amazon listed for 159.99 with free shipping. shipped from and sold by amazon. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Heroes-Arkham-Asylum-Breakout/dp/B00ATX7KWY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366682618&sr=8-2&keywords=lego+arkham+asylum

It seems to me like this set could be worth a fortune someday, comic book toys (not just Lego) are worth a fortune later, and this one is the largest Lego superhero set ever produced, by a long shot, most of these cap at about the $80 price point.

Definately. This one blows the holy crap of the older one out of the water.

Now they just need to do an "ultimate" Batcave to end all Batcaves. The 2.0 was pretty lame...

After building the 2nd a while ago, I totally agree. The original Batcave was better in every way.

Both outstanding sets, I personally like the Haunted House better based on looks. But as far as investment in the ring, I'm going to sell out and say it's a draw. These sets will both double in price, and are both relatively hard to find. I know that the Haunted House is being carried by Amazon and Target now, but they aren't discounting it, not yet. I don't know who all carries Arkham, but it's nicer than the original(which is rare) and that set went through the roof.

Your right about that Original Arkham...that was a BIG time winner!!! I feel this one will sky rocket even more? The question is who else carries the Arkham and who will retire first? Both Heavy Hitters!!!

Out of these three sets, if you could pick one to own, which one would it be?  The reason I ask is because this is my exact situation.  I love all three themes, and all three sets are similar enough in price.  I think that all of them will do great as investments, but how do you pick just one when that is likely all you can afford?  I am curious to hear everyones' thoughts on this.  Please try to stick to the facts, and limit personal bias for each theme whenever possible.  Thanks!
