Bricks Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 First of all: Greetings! If you want to catch some left Batman sets, try to join the ''Galeria Kaufhof'' stores in Europe (If you live there...). But if you want to discuss the lack of batman, please visit this topic: ~LINK~ 'Bricks' Quote
LegoFranks Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I sympathise with you guys, I really do, but man, isn't this the best time to get some money for me! I've already made £300 profit on 5 Batman sets and stand to make more on a couple more sets I have yet to list. As an AFOL, this is how I make the money to buy the stuff I really want. I had all the Harry Potter sets too, and they made a tidy profit. No doubt if Lego decide not to renew the Star Wars licence after 2011 I'll have a gold mine under the stairs. At the end of the day, some of us use these sets as an investment, and boy are the Batman sets paying off... Sorry to see it go, but really, there wasn't much more they could do with it without it getting silly. You only have to look at the rubbish they came up with when they designed this set - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7884-1 M. Quote

It's rubbish Batbrick Away! Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 If this is a topic that is not suitable or has a point to post, I really do apologize, thanks. I have merged both topics together, to conslidate the availability or lack of sets relating to Batman theme. Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 All I can say is: "I shouldn't of unboxed my Two-Face's van/Batmobile set. It already gets a great price on BL MISB, now they'll be extortionate. On a less selfish note, it is sad to see the line go. the release of the game made me think it was still running strong. While I liked the sets, I would have liked them much better had they been real locales and vehicles from the movies (although I understand that TLC didn't want to encourage younger people to see movies like The Dark Knight.

But, the figs are nice and I can fetch a nice profit from them. Does anybody want to trade/buy them? I really dont need them (batman and freeze) Quote
General Magma Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 This is horrible. Horrible, horrible and also horrible. I never managed to get one of the sets, now how will I? Quote
Bricks Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 This is horrible. Horrible, horrible and also horrible. I never managed to get one of the sets, now how will I? Be a millionaire... I think it's really strange about the price difference. Think almost 2 years back, nobody want a single Batman set. And today since the theme is reduced, the prices are over the dual original price... 'Bricks' Quote
Orion Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Here in an undisclosed Latin America country where I live, the stores are still stocked with most of the batman sets. Of course, they're like $7 (usd) more expensive, but it's better than $50 (usd)! I still can't seem to find Arkham Asylum. Have found the Batcave though.... Quote
soc399 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 The end of Batman is a real shame, but now I understand why the figs are so expensive on Bricklink. I've been looking through the licensed themes for light flesh heads that I don't have, and some of the really cool Batman figs go for $20 or $30. I suppose it will only get worse. Quote
Eilif Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Wow, somehow I managed to miss the fact that Batman is done for over 2 months! I'm pretty disappointed. I liked the sets, and has been said it was a great source for parts. My wife demanded that I purchase a second Arkham when they went on sale for half off, and she got me the batcave for christmas. Arkham especially was one of the best non "CC" sets in recent memory for acquiring pieces to build realistic buildings. Bye Bye Batman Quote

C'Mon - where has Batman gone into hiding?! Quote
