Not nearly as nice as I thought it would be, which is awesome because I will never own it!

My thoughts exactly. Its a little "cuter" than I anticipated. I would pay $20 for it... but we all know that it will sell for well over the $39.99 price so I won't own one either. We can always make our own :-D

Yeah there is nothing special about the set. Real easy looking build and common pieces. Very happy. :)

It seems to have activities of the most popular brands for everyone.
I wish I could be there, but one of this years...

Happy event for those of you who are going.

Half the set seems to be made out of the pieces that are always left as extras in most sets.

I wish they never showed the pictures for any of the exclusive minfigures or sets that are sold at comic con because every year it makes me upset and sad that I will never be able to attend the event or own one of the sets or figures. :(

The Batmobile looks pretty neat. I guess I'll just wait until Brickset gets the instructions and try to build it myself.

Brickfan reports that the price for the exclusive classic batmobile set will be even more overpriced than we thought. Rather than $40 it will be $50. Rocket Raccon (Guardians of the Galaxy) exclusive will be $40 as previously reported.

LEGO could charge $500 a piece and still sell all of them within hours.

Thats crazy. Going for $150-200 for this little car.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Someone asking for $300CAD. Probably still cheaper than airfare, hotel, meals to SDCC.

As soon as I seen this set I knew must has it. I get one purchase a year from SDCC (for, well, obvious reasons) and the total cost with priority shipping to Australia was $257 AUD. Very close to the massive Ewok Village I got the same week from Target's toy sale at $309. Limited runs make all the difference.

Some guys, I've noticed don't mind parting stuff up and building their own but for collectors it's a little bit more than that. You know, the box, the instructions... the inspiration of envy in their collecting colleagues :P For others, like me, it will remain pristine in it's box for the duration of it's stay in my collection :)

I have no envy that you wasted several hundred dollars on a lame little box of plastic. :lol: Makes me feel better about myself really.

LEGO Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile SDCC 2014 set is a smart buy option. Robin and Batman with this set will urge people to buy this set.
