First off love the set! I was so excited when it was announced to come out. But beware of the stickers. I knew there would be a lot of stickers because if they did it right everything in the Batmobile was going to be labeled. But I didn’t realize how many stickers there would be. They labeled things outside of the car that are not labeled in the show but it’s so you know what it does if you haven’t seen the show in a while. There is one sticker that I hated putting on. It’s a circle tile with a hole in it, Terrible sticker. They should have made that a print piece since it is a compass and they could use it other build. Also feel like the specification plaque should be printed. Also. if you are hoping for creator car style with the hood and doors opening, sorry. Only the trunk opens to show the mobile crime computer. No opening doors. Other than that the set is great. The build is amazing. The end product looks great. I do wish we got Robin to go with Batman. Since the only TV Series Robin we got was in the Batcave a while ago.
I've been on a spree of trying to get every Lego Batmobile, and I've got many, including the big and small '89 ones, the 2016 BvS one, The big Tumbler, the big The Batman one, and the small '60's one.
When I saw that there was only a small one for the 1960's version, me and my dad were sad because he loves the show and I love the batmobile in it. So when I saw they made a big one, I had to get it. And I am very happy with it, except for one part.
I know people like to hate Lego for its excessive use of stickers, but I somewhat understand because it can be hard to do a whole mold for such tiny details. However, there is a piece in this with a sticker that is very noticeable if you misplace it even a little bit. It's the "wings" on the back half of the car. There's a red trim on it and stickers on the side. However, if you don't put the stickers on the very edge of the piece, you will see the red brick underneath and it completely messes up the design of the red trim. I'll show it in my photo and how it's supposed to look in the instructions. I'm not yet finished building it but I already love this build so much.
Now I don't know the exact process of making these bricks, but I feel like a dual mold with red and black would fix this immediately and might be pretty simple to do. Lego has never let me down before, and I know it's a bit of a nitpick, but it really messes up my favorite part of this batmobile.
If someone at Lego sees this review and actually gets this fixed, it would only solidify Lego as easily the best "toy" company out there.
Thank y'all for reading my review and slight rant!
First off, if you're expecting opening doors/hood, detailed engine, and steering... you're gonna be disappointed. However, if you want a LEGO version of the coolest Batmobile ever... (That's right. COOLEST EVER! PERIOD!) you WON'T be disappointed. All the Bat- gadgets are present and you can always add your own or make these work. Cockpit glass was individually package so no scratches. Instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. Word of caution, though, watch placement of stickers on door and Bat-computer wires in trunk. Pieces overlap and could cover them.
