Captain Britain Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 have I missed something here? what new BvS sets? there's 3 available already on Lego.com so either Argos are way behind the times here, or there's more sets to come - which is it? Argos, Tesco, Amazon UK etc etc don't seem to have the new sets yet where as they are all readily available to buy in Lego stores or their website. Quote
iang Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Had to seriously chuckle when I saw this set ... fantastic! Hope Batman has his Bat-utility belt ... Edited January 22, 2016 by iang Quote
LegoPops Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Fun looking set. Figures and vehicles are great. Especially like the Bat-Copter. Quote
Lord David Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 A definite must! But should I get 2? I'd like to get one just to have mint and sealed. But if I were to build one... Quote
Robianco Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 You could probably buy a second and make a profit from it immediately by selling the figures individually then selling the build on. Or even splitting the build into Batcopter, Bike, Batmobile and then the cave itself. The building will probably be worth over £100 on it's own. Sell the vehicles on and then the figures and you're very much in the black on it... Quote
KCMatze Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 That could very well be the case, but buying two sets is hard to justify Quote
GV357 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 has some similarities to my MOC from a eurobricks contest from a few years back https://flic.kr/s/aHsjxejfUH Quote
Legoman123 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Haven't really read this topic much yet as I didn't have much to say on it other than what I said in the '2016 DC Sets'. I was wondering when the release date of the Mr.Freeze minifigure is? Quote

I was wondering when the release date of the Mr.Freeze minifigure is? It's expected to be a special polybag released with the Batcave set.. although not sure if it's expected to be VIP release or something? I think they did the same sort of thing with the Helicarrier where they gave out The Winter Solider with it as a special then a few months later it was given away with orders over £50 odd. If I'm wrong please correct me anyone Quote

OmgItsNitro Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I'm definitely getting this set, anyone have an idea of the Lego VIP release date for this set? Edited February 2, 2016 by OmgItsNitro Quote
VBBN Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I've been looking further at the photos and something is bothering me- where exactly is the batcomputer? I see a lot of "machines" with stickers on them, but to be honest I cannot recognize any of them as main components of the batcomputer. (I don't see things like the battranslator, batscanner receiver etc) Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 There isn't one, they're trying to make us think the reactor is. Quote
penmanovic Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 So this set hasn't been mad available for VIPs early after all. That's a shame. Especially because the set has been spotted out in the wild: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/44ce0l/the_batcave_is_freaking_huge/? And now the Mr Freeze polybag has also surfaced at NYC Toy Fair. Quote

And now the Mr Freeze polybag has also surfaced at NYC Toy Fair. That photo was originally posted to Reddit by a Lego store employee who was building it for the store display. He also had another post of it actually being built as well. Quote
Cammo Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Here's a movie with some new pictures: # of bags, sticker sheet etc. https://www.youtube....h?v=ORErome63fI or the written review: http://www.promobricks.de/review-lego-super-heroes-batman-tv-klassiker-bathoehle-76052/12883 Edited February 16, 2016 by Cammo Quote
ChiefPie Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Holy catfish Batman! I really like this set and the minifigures, too bad I really just collect Star Wars which is expensive. Other wise I wouldn't mind having this. I really like the 60's show even though I didn't grow up in the 60's. The pricing is worse then the "assault on hoth" set. Quote
Robianco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I just popped in to the Liverpool Lego store and they have this in the stockroom but don't have any instruction for a VIP Prerelease so it's staying in the stock room until the 1st March unless they hear anything different. They've also not heard anything about Mr Freeze being a promo bag for it so unless they hear different in the next 2 weeks then it may be out later in the year. Quote
KCMatze Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 That would be a major bummer to not get the poly when ordering the Batcave. Might be the reason to wait instead of buying the set now. Quote
Robianco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 That would be a major bummer to not get the poly when ordering the Batcave. Might be the reason to wait instead of buying the set now. Well... I've got two coming from eBay for around £5 each so If I get a third one as a promo then I'll be fine. Best to keep all bases covered just in case. Quote
jasper44 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 This will be the first purchase for me in almost seven years. I love it, although I would have preferred this be split into a vehicles set, and modular Batcave/ Wayne Manor. a little disclaimer.... I have bought lego consistently over those years, but for my son who will be seven, and daughter, who is 3. I thought I was done for myself until this theme came out. I grew up on this Batman (in reruns, of course) I'd love to see King Tut get made at some point. After the Riddler, he was my favorite villain of the show. Quote

Captain Britain Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Wait you got them for 5£?? Where / which seller? Yeah I second that hahaha how and where?! Quote
Robianco Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 To be fair... it was actually around £6.50 per figure when I've looked back at the auction. I think I offered £5 at first. eBay seller in Mexico that had a few listed (no gun or full backpack). One eI'd seen that the poly was out at the NYTF with no real street date yet I thought it might be worth it. I'll BL the backpack parts anyway. If it comes out a later date in the poly then I'll just sell that on. Quote

Seemed legit as they emailed me with a pic of the figure and my address on the envelope. Still waiting for it to arrive.. Quote
