Laddie Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) The official pictures just are ...- wow. The set is incredible and has to find ist way underneath the christmas tree (and will be ordered long before, regarding to the GWP, that is officially announced by stonewars and promobricks in Germany). Only the Stickers for the filler caps is a minus to me.... It will be hard to keep the symmetry... Edited November 7, 2019 by Laddie
Cut the Kragle Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Looks even more beautiful now the official pics are out. But still, still they insist on including stickers. Really LEGO? £219.99 and you give me stickers when a Juniors/4+ set gets printed pieces? For crying out loud...

Generally spoken the use of stickers isn´t a great issue for me, there are pros and cons on both sides in my opinion. But when I look at this picture I´m afraid a mistake when putting the filler cap stickers on will ruin the optic. I think I will get those parts printed, if it´s possible. I will ask some brick-printing guys what to do.
KevinMD Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Well with release on BF you can probably triple dip the mini-bat mobile, gingerbread house, and 2x VIP. Not bad.
scottypavarotti Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 £219 in the UK is a lot better than I was expecting. Might be a day1 purchase to get the GWP. I'm pretty happy....
TheDeeGee Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Heck yea, 405 Euro's Tax return. That Batmobile is mine!
BrickBob Studpants Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Hothbricks has uploaded some cool pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hothbricks/ I love that windshield And it's really neat to see another printed 1x1 round tile with a variant of the Batman logo, this time in light bluish gray November 29th can't come soon enough

Welp, looks like it's off to eBay for me. Why even bother with eBay? The only things you'll be missing out on if you bricklink all the parts and find digital instructions are the stickers (of which I believe there's only 1) and the physical box and instructions.
Brikkyy13 Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Someone in the comments of this article mentioned a 1989 Batwing. In the lists I’ve seen for 2020 I haven’t even seen a D2C, is this something that could actually happen or is it just someone jumping the gun and assuming they’ll do a batwing because we got a batmobile?

I believe that the ABS for solid colour bricks and the polycarbonate used in transparent parts shrink by different amounts when cooling after being ejected from the moulds. So the windscreen could easily appear in new transparent colours, but to make it a solid colour they would have to make a new mould (This is why solid and transparent colour parts have different design ID numbers) This Batmobile looks fantastic, though I think the smaller GWP version might be all I have space to display.
BrickWild Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Are the front tyres on 76139 a genuine new mould? ;-) They'll look great on future OCs!
RedHoodPug Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Just read the Brickset review, and all I can say is dang it. It’s really impressive. There is no way I can justify it at the moment, which is a real shame considering the GWP. The most impressive thing is how it dwarfs the Tumbler. I can still manage without that Joker, especially as it - quite creepily - looks a lot like Nicholson. Credit where it’s due, but I wouldn’t display him.
Lionbear8 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 This truly is a monster of design! Well done to the Lego design team on a great job! I love to know what other D2C vehicles they have coming up for us fans in the near future! I guess I'll be spending all my Lego VIP points end of November!

Fenghuang0296 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I hope they reuse and recolour that windshield in the future, or do it without prints, or something, because that could be so useful for MOCs . . please don’t be like the UCS Slave I windshield (took four years to pop up in another set and then in trans purple which I like but get is limited-usefulness).

Robert8 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) The are pics now of that Mr Miracle character in all his glory with accesories and cape. Very sharp printing. Best Minifigure of the wave along with BatMite Edited November 10, 2019 by Robert8
THELEGOBATMAN Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Does anyone know why there's still no 2020 thread? We are still discussing everything in a 2019 page. We have seen all the minifigures, and it's like month and a half until the official release.

Yep, but it has its own forum so different moderators with different rules Also, I'm not sure dc needs a 2020 thread yet, no real sets for a while, and the minifigs will probably start showing up in stores in late December anyways
