If that had included the Batwing and Joker from those other 2 sets plus a turntable for the car and display for the Batwing then maybe it would be worth the $400. Maybe even add the Batski as a bonus
I love Dc and the Tim Burton Batman movies but this set doesn’t seem worth $400 because the minifigures don’t seem worth this big of a set and it’s just to big for me to display.
I’m really glad we’re getting both Batman figures in a cheaper way. The combined cowl and cape in the polybag and the new cowl in the batmobile and batwing sets. Glad it wasn’t just one of the suits
When you get the individual batmobile can you plz see if it fits into the bay cave slot or just do a video trying all the different main batmobile going through the exit plz
I would love to see a moc version of this that has similar tech functionality but isn't a shadowbox set & more of a playset like the previous Lego Batcave sets. That's just my thoughts.
I’ll be honest, after seeing the reviews drop in the last couple of days, it does look better vs the initial press release photos. However, still not one I’ll be looking to pick up. For $400 I’d rather have the Lions Knights’ Castle.
The penguins face definitely should have been more a white and cat woman’s leg print should be there. Spot on. It’s strange how much effort was put into this to miss such basic things.
Great review. A few more minfigs would have been great, Maybe some penguins or a duck mobile, etc. As it is since I'm a keaton fan and a batman fan I'm gonna bite the bullet and get one. Hope I have some lego vip points I can use towards the purchase price.
I agree with most of what you said here. There’s a lot to like in the little details for sure, but for a $400 set it feels like it’s not completely worth it. The minifigs are overall good but lack a little detail in places I would have liked, the Batmobile having that knob is a little silly, and the whole front part takes up a metric ton of space without doing much other than adding to the shadowbox display element. I don’t think making it a fold-out display was worth it, especially since that whole front section making the bat logo limits the amount of actual cave interior and detailing we get, and a bunch of the pieces we get will just be black bricks to build out the box’s exterior. It’s really unfortunate because I can’t help but think that this set would either be cheaper without it, or that space could be better utilized to give us more details to make this set FEEL worth the $400 it’s asking for. It’s a hefty price tag. I was definitely excited when this was announced and told my friends I would definitely be getting it as a huge Batman fan, but now that I’ve seen it, I don’t think I can justify the $400.
I am not 100% sure my dad’s taking a look at it but when I go to put the suit chamber door up and down, the knob is tight and to be able to turn in I have to turn it reset my grip and turn it and just keep doing that a few times and I don’t think that’s right
I would rebuild the front opening section and just keep the bottom half cave looking section. That way you can still access and play with all the internal features with the bottom of the cave closed.
Honestly, I completely agree that Lego could have just gotten rid of that entire front door & chopped it down to $250. At $400 I’d rather get something that feels like I’m getting a lot for my money. For example the Ninjago City Markets is $370 & I definitely feel like if I get that, it’s completely worth the price with its 6,000 pieces.
I think it’s a rather nicely detailed set. The price is ridiculous but reasonable due to the many pieces. I don’t much like the hair used on Bruce and Alfred. I’d give Bruce General Zod’s hair from CMF and I’d give Alfred the slickback white hair
Best thing to do is for us lego collectors is to vote with our wallets, if we don't go put and rush to buy this set, lego will get the idea and will be forced to pit a heavy discount on the set just like the black panther set, the hulk buster set, the soccer table set and so on.
I think the knob on the car was a wrong and also the minifigures falling so short on such a high price set is really something they should not overlook. When you only have this few minifigs they better be excellent on such a high price
I love this set, Batman Returns is my favourite Batman film, but it's way too expensive and there is a lack of leg printing (mainly on Max) but Penguin is almost perfect
I like it. They made it to where you can play with it and display it. I think they were probably taking into account maybe alot of people don't have room to be able to display it fully opened so the folding up to make it smaller is actually smart. It actually looks like a cave from the outside and then you open it up and it looks like you're inside the cave. All the other past batcaves Lego came out with sucks way worse than this. Those look like a bunch of shit just sitting there that you place down and call it a batcave. They didn't even look like a "batcave". Atleast this one looks the part. Hopefully if everything goes right I'll be putting this bitch together by the end of next week.
I think this is the show case of the brick bloat issue Lego has been having the past few years... Like if this was '90s-'00s Lego the entire cave would be one new fun element/elements and you only built the inside with the battle mobile sold separately which is ok as the cave would be $150 and the batmobile $15. Like if the adzavge Lego fan needs to optimize their MOCs for cost so should Lego. However it is cool in it's own right and I think it's worth it just expensive.
the figures are pretty mid with the lack of detail on catwoman, incorrect skin tone for penguin ect, the build itself is cool and is a cool concept, the batmobile is nice but the knob is so ugly and ruins the car for me, overall its not bad but could be improved significantly
I just bought 1 on Nov. 18th. I signed up with Rakutin the day before. 12% cash back, or about 60 bucks back. 8000 + lego point as its 3x points on the set. I bought it because it has a lot of Normal Lego pieces in 1 box.... and people magazine missed Michele Phifer top 100 hottest actresses.... what is up with that. I always look at the building instructions back page before purchase to see exactly how many of what brick I am about to buy.... you should too.
You kept saying "asking a lot" about a lot of the failures of the set. This is a $400 set. Leg printing on Catwoman and a correctly colored head/hand combo for cobblepot isn't asking too much, it's lego cheaping out while over designing yet another set.
I mean if i were looking forward and had the money i would but personaly i do not think it is worth $500 i am problably just going to stick to the polybag
Please do a better review than the last one I watched! Wow, already the measurements given were vastly different than the last...ugh! Not sure who to believe.
The 1966 batcave was better than this and it was cheaper I think. This is just a batcave in a case. It should of been made without the case. The original batcave was cool before it became superheroes
Bad set...I keep hope that removable section on the back is the place where secret minifigure could hide(rumors about joker). But that just flame storage🤦♂.I hope lego will listen to the fans next time and hire people who made new DC wave happen...Guys I dont understand people who says that's a"great set".Why??? Let's be cohesive: 1. Batmobile exactly the same as previous limited edition. It have some some changes like wings🦇(they cool) and guns feature (with ugly switch on the side. Overall not bad but feels like dejavu. 2.idea overall interesting and cool, probably no big complaints about that. 3.Minifigs. Time when bad things come in. Alfred, bruce and batman's good but then...Catwoman 🐱which should hav leg printing of the stitches to make figure looks more smooth and polished. Among others she must have print. Penguin 🐧doesn't feel like Danny devito, color is way wrong(if you get volan de Mort head you will get more accurate look). And shrek who de fook is that guy⁉No any unique piece. No capture of original look . Bulliishit. Only 7 minifigs on 4000 pieces⁉ Using those characters ⁉. 4. 4000 pieces which consists only black ⚫and grey⁉ more than a half it's just walls. come on boys and you saying that's normal because its batcave hell no‼ Tool section🛠 is displays 9 pices on 10 inch its great using of space👍.No part of Wayne manor, no creative cave entrance, no nothing. 5. Building experience. You got generic build using simple techniques 🗿. Could you be excited to put on top one black brick on another⁉ I think no‼ 5. Most obvious. Price💵. Even 400$ doesn't save the day. Previous points dont justify that's price not even close. I see 2 way justify set -1. Throw away half of that box and replace some bricks on panels and etc. And cut the price on half✂ -2. Add just about 3-4 minifigs. Replace some pieces to save overall quantity and add extra builds like big robotic duck or smth. Dont change the price. But will not see any of those variations 😕 If you think I am wrong then I would look at your arguments following my points😉
@@turbkeysamdwich1880 Because there was rumors in December bruh. And ANOTHER(maybe smth from the nee flash film)figure could increase impression of the set. Why?? Because 400$ my man!! There is no condition in LEGO to include only minifigures from the exact movie. New iron man lab set includes minifigures not only from iron man 2. New sanctum sanctorum set includes not only infinity saga or doctor strange 2 characters. Why? You ask wrong question brother
Do you personally feel like this is worth $400? 🤔
I’d prefer $200
100% this is sick
I think it's worth like 250 to 300
If that had included the Batwing and Joker from those other 2 sets plus a turntable for the car and display for the Batwing then maybe it would be worth the $400. Maybe even add the Batski as a bonus
Not even close…
I love Dc and the Tim Burton Batman movies but this set doesn’t seem worth $400 because the minifigures don’t seem worth this big of a set and it’s just to big for me to display.
It’s like $300 worth of black bricks 😂
I’m really glad we’re getting both Batman figures in a cheaper way. The combined cowl and cape in the polybag and the new cowl in the batmobile and batwing sets. Glad it wasn’t just one of the suits
Pretty much the next Black Panther bust. Will be 40 percent discount by Holiday season.
Hope you’re right dude lol. 40% off I’d defo pick up, but won’t be at $400. Just too much.
@@matthewpotter8491 Yeah, me too, this set I think Is actually really good but too expensive for 400 dollars
Looks at this. Looks at the Daily Bugle. Looks at this. Looks at the Daily Bugle. Goes & cries in corner…
When you get the individual batmobile can you plz see if it fits into the bay cave slot or just do a video trying all the different main batmobile going through the exit plz
Why does it matter if the individual one fits when u get one in the set
I would love to see a moc version of this that has similar tech functionality but isn't a shadowbox set & more of a playset like the previous Lego Batcave sets. That's just my thoughts.
I'm thrilled for it.
front is the best part imo
Make a video improving these figures, and you show them off. Many of these figures need to be improved and I think you can do it for sure!
Love the in depth review! Maybe you already thought about this, but could you do a comparison video of the two Batmobiles? I would love that.
nah it looks like a briefcase for batman i have a feeling soon we'll get a D2C like this for Hank Pyms Lab which imo could work if they work well
atleast it would be more colorful lol
@@adrianmarcelo5131 yea lol

I need a comparison between 2 Batmobile, only thing i m sure for now it is batwing purchase
Here’s to hoping there’s going to be a Wayne manner… based of batman returns
This is an awesome set!!
The penguins face definitely should have been more a white and cat woman’s leg print should be there. Spot on. It’s strange how much effort was put into this to miss such basic things.

I honestly am gonna BrickLink these figures instead of paying $400 for a set that I have absolutely no space for

an idea struck me, imagine the front bat shape cut-out could be covered up by the "belly-side" of a batwing, where the belly is in grey lego pieces.
how long does it take to build?
For me? Yeah, this is worth it. But it's not for everyone
Talk about a finger print magnet
i think the front part is worht it, its super cool and great fan service
If the avengers tower gets the same treatment this one got ima be disappointed
the lego batman movie penguin has the white head
when money can buy childhood happiness ~ juz take my money 😊
The front cover is really cool! They should have included batwing, Selina Kyle, and joker minfigs. Then, price would be more forgivable.
Es un excelente lego de Batman del 89 y ojalá algún día también hagan la Baticueva del Batman de la trilogía de nolan y del Batman de Ben Affleck
Looks very good How many Lego bags does it come with?
29 bags total!
Best thing to do is for us lego collectors is to vote with our wallets, if we don't go put and rush to buy this set, lego will get the idea and will be forced to pit a heavy discount on the set just like the black panther set, the hulk buster set, the soccer table set and so on.
How many bags were on the box
Does it come with 3 Bruce Wayne heads??
Stop feeling bad for "asking for to much"... this junk is so much money... these should be 100% accurate to the movie
Excellent point!
I think the knob on the car was a wrong and also the minifigures falling so short on such a high price set is really something they should not overlook.
When you only have this few minifigs they better be excellent on such a high price
I love this set, Batman Returns is my favourite Batman film, but it's way too expensive and there is a lack of leg printing (mainly on Max) but Penguin is almost perfect
Just got this from Lego on batman day,also a poly bag gwp and 3x points so definitely worth my £345
How many minifigs can fit here?
LEGO: HEY here's our new 1997 batman returns batcave for $400
Me: it's a giant box with a bat carved into it
Can you do Total Drama Gen 1 cast in LEGO.
I like it. They made it to where you can play with it and display it. I think they were probably taking into account maybe alot of people don't have room to be able to display it fully opened so the folding up to make it smaller is actually smart.

I like it and all but 400 dollars is crazy I’ll be getting it though build the set and probably take it apart and make an alternate build of it

very nice set,but it is yet another example of lego pricing out a lot of people as how many can justify spending this much on a lego set?
The new cowl piece looks like it could be really good for a BatFleck in the armor from Batman V Superman
I think Lego should have used the Lego Batman movie penguin head instead as that looks closer in skin tone
It's definitely a better portrayal than whatever they put here especially the suit I'm happy I have that fig
the figures are pretty mid with the lack of detail on catwoman, incorrect skin tone for penguin ect, the build itself is cool and is a cool concept, the batmobile is nice but the knob is so ugly and ruins the car for me, overall its not bad but could be improved significantly
Can it be altered to "Batman Begins"
