1989 Batmobile

What is there not to like about the 1989 Batmobile? Nothing much. However, if I go looking for problems, a price drop of $30-$40 would have made the value perfect. Additionally, side printing, or a couple of accessories more for the Minifigures would have boosted their design. However, these are all minute concerns compared to the majesty of this build. I am so impressed with how well LEGO® designers have recreated my favorite Batmobile. Do I recommend this set? Very enthusiastically yes. more less

This was my first USC style set, and its a very good one to start with! Fun build with great figs and I love looking at it on my shelf and sometimes playing with all the features and looking at the little details. If I could have one thing I would have it split into the Batmissile from Batman Returns but I see how that could bring up the price quite a bit more less

All in all this is a seriously excellent set. It's massive, has a great display stand and the attention to detail in the shaping is wonderful. It's not cheap, but for the fans of the franchise – this is a must buy. There are some excellent minifigures included and it's a display piece that will capture the eyes of many. more less

So was this set worth the hype? Yes it is. There are some truly wonderful techniques and design choices throughtout. This is perhaps the most famous of all the Batmobiles, it captures everything that Batman is about, his mystery, menace, and ingenuity, and LEGO have put all that into this model and executed it do a level unequalled in any other LEGO Batmobile design. All of my criticisms really aren't that bad when looking at the set as a whole. more less
