It's expensive but I want this set!
£230 seems overpriced for the UK. The Euro price seems more reasonable upon conversion.
I want the set, but that 269.99 USD is really making me pause.
Are you referring to these pieces?
But it also has stickers.... including massive (=difficult to apply) ones for the helipad.
As for the Penguin minifig, it's actually considered a new one. Though it's the same head and torso as the previous one, the black & purple color of Hat and Legs were swapped. And Alfred's face print looks perfect to create a Stan Lee purist custom fig using Dick's red sweater torso with tan/dark tan legs.
I'm still not that exited about this set, it's 60s Batman. Possible the worst on screen version of Batman there is. I haven't seen the 40s serials or 1997's Batman & Robin, all of which are considered awful, to compare. I can almost guarantee you nobody wants stuff based on the 40s serials or Batman & Robin. And yet this 60s garbage some how remains popular. Ok that's enough ripping on the show from me, for now.
We'll see whether I get this set or not. $270 is a lot for something that I'm basically not a fan of.
The Minifigures are outstanding besides the exclusion of Mr. Freeze (which I have heard is coming in a ploybag but it's odd it's not included) and I still don't know why LEGO is lacking with their printing on dark Minifigure heads. I dislike the number of stickers especially the two large 8x16 ones. Those printed 1x4 bricks look out of place with the LEGO System and their simplistic style.
My main critique of the entire set is the the price of the set compared to it's 'size.' this set in no way shape or form looks like a £229.99 set with 2,526 pieces, more like £149.99 set. Nor does it look appealing enough to spend the RRP, even though I mentioned it's appealing aesthetics; just not enough. I guess the price of the set could have been driven up given this is the only set based on the 1966 TV series and it had to include all the new prints and other graphics like many other one off sets.
NO!
this is about £60 to £80 over priced
if lego had to pay that high fore the IP the TLG Got Robbed blind.
The manor may be the most disappointing thing for me. Aside from the price point. This is going to sound weird because I may contradict myself, but it has a cool design and looks good both inside and out...to a point...
...but I can't get over the fact that the outside is a part of a wall. Not like an entry way or anything. Just a wall. A piece of an ordinary wall.
This may be the first set in a long time that I actually like a great deal of but may be talking myself out of buying. That usually only happens with sets I'm on the fence with. But with this one, I like it, but am leaning toward passing.
If all those stickers were prints, I'd be all over it!
Sorry, Lego (do you think anyone who represents Lego's marketing department frequents this forum?!)
I might as well resign this one to the "one that got away" thread now.
so we can see what is jacking up the price.
could it be that wallpaper?
the 1x4 print?
i may order that brick from bricks and pieces
but i am not going to pay the RRP for this set, if it go's on sale at any point. then yes i try to get it but it have to be a good sale price to.
I'm also not surprised since I know 60s Batman licensing was difficult to release things a while ago.
it is not on.
lego is pricey enough as it is now we don't need lego getting greedy.
i think on this one the AFOL member need to try to get this messages back to TLG.
we may pay got High priced set like Ghostbusters firehouse HQ, but not for a set that seem to be an out there price point.
(looks at price per-part) really? it's only 9.1p / 10.6c (so what is the Ghostbuster HQ then?
5.9p / 7.6c ) ok so now i going to have to get a 2nd HQ fore parts.
Batman: "Excellent observation, Robin. This appears to be the work of an AFOL hating fiend!!! Quick! To the Bat-Computer!"
Nobody is going to boycott. If you think it is too expensive; dont buy it. This is a must have set for me as I grew up watching this on TV. I don't think anyone likes the prices of ANY IP driven set, but if you want it bad enough, you will pay for it.
Adam West as an offical LEGO minifigure; I must have...
