I recently rediscovered legos and have built several sets including all of the available Batman sets. The question is, “Where is Robin?” Also, why does a $40 billion dollar company still have stickers in its sets? Come on Lego, my old eyes can’t see these small items, and my OCD kicks in when they are not properly centered. Please print the pieces. China does, why can’t you?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome But One Problem

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!

Bought this set to compliment the other two Batmobiles I have. The nostalgia factor was through the roof and I loved the fun facts Lego shared in the instruction manual. The set was a fun build, not overly challenging, but had some fun details. Like other reviews, there was a fair amount of stickers- but they added value. I found the stickers for the rears fins to be the most daunting. Also, I agree with many of the comments that Lego should have included a Robin mini-fig. Maybe Lego will read enough of these and send one to builders with proof of purchase. (What do ya say Lego- how about it?)
Pros 1. it looks awesome 2. It looks really awesome 3. Wow factor wind shields 4. Cool interior details (Stickers) 5. Cool red trim on seats 6. Nailed the design 7. Mobile Crime Computer in car trunk Cons 1. No suspension 2. No engine 3. No steering 4. No doors 5. No Robin 6. No flames 7. Other than an opening trunk, no play features 8. Stickers Conclusion If you are a child of the 60’s or a Batman fan, this is a must have. It looks really really awesome !
This was just a fun build, nothing to difficult, straightforward intructions, (even though I had to take mignafin(spelling) too see some of the placements of part. Overall added to my Batman items.
I've been in love with the original Batman (Adam West) and the ironic batmobile since I saw the original batman in 1966 (TVs were still black and white and Batman said "In Color"). I try to collect all batmobils. Lego really came through. One thing though, the could have added a light brick for flames coming out the back
