I am so very underwhelmed... Fortunately I can now save $269 + tx. Besides where's cat women?
Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
This is a fantastic set I didn't see coming. I would give almost anything to get it but obviously at this time I do not have even a slight dream of ever getting this. But I can still appreciate it.
Well done Lege group. Well done.

A very nice set with plenty of classic characters. The photos are very tempting. However, I agree that the price point has been setting too high. Did TLG think all the collectors are the winner of lottery?
Now, Ghostbusters firehouse seems a better value to go for.

Should be $199
Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
I love the old series and was very excited about this and considering springing for it, but after getting a closer look at it I think I'll pass. I absolutely love the classic minifigs and the vehicles are fantastic, but as a set it just feels a bit skeletal. There's nothing to the helipad structure; the computer room is detailed but pretty much relies on small computer builds with printed bricks and again has that awkward cave frame; the mansion scene is great, I love it, but the seemingly worthless height of that entire thing just adds to the awkwardness and bumps the price up. The cave as a whole looks really odd and disjointed from afar.
I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to go for this, but I won't be able to justify it. I think I'll settle for the Bank instead.

Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
That would have been a great stand alone set. The helicopter with Batman and Robin and a large shark (especially the ultra-agent one). I like the helicopter in the Batcave set... but I would have preferred it to not have been included to reduce the price of of the set.anakinisvader wrote:Ok, where is the shark and can of shark repellent?
Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
You summed up my thoughts very well. I hate being critical because for the most part I think most of the problems that I have with the set (being skeletal and disjointed... great words to describe it btw... thanks unduli) was to keep the price down AND at the same time create play features. For instance the mansion part is so tall because of the poles going down into the cave. The helicopter pad is silly but at the same time doubles as the top of an entrance... so I understand why they did it that way. I think they did a very good job with some of the minifigures. I love the printed wallpaper parts. I hope to find more of them in future sets. Because of the price and slight let down in overall build I think I may be able to pass on this one.unduli wrote:I love the old series and was very excited about this and considering springing for it, but after getting a closer look at it I think I'll pass.

Am I the only one that was amused by "Also includes a cat." in the set description?

Several years ago, when the national summer reading theme was "Dig Into Reading" SteelCityLUG made a display for a children's library that included Wayne Manor and the Batcave. :)

This is a set that definitely motivates set owners to make their own modification.
Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
I will pass on this one. I can think of many sets to buy instead of this one.
Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
There goes my $50 VIP dollars. And yes, that means I'll be getting this.

Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 76052 Batman Classic TV Ser
Set looks good brings back some memories of the show - will probably get at least one on either a discount deal or double vip promo.

$329.99 CAD is ~$231 USD at the current exchange rate. Seems like a deal in Canada if you have US cash.Gray2010 wrote:It looks nice but 329.99 CDN, come on!

At this price they should have tossed in a 32x32 base plate to put all the extras on and help pull the set together.
