You could argue to me that this is a small detail but I will come right back at you and tell you that this set already has loads of stickers, I am sure that they could spare one for Shark Repellant
i have been thinking on this
i dont know how them can do the ghostbusters HQ at the Price per part with the cost of it's IP if a IP per part is normal around 10c a part.
the what look's to be a price jump here, is the point that it a lot of part's at 10.6c
it soon all add's up.
still i will have to be skimming the bottom of the wish list for me to get this one,
as it would take time to save up for it.
maybe i try to get it with my berthday money. ( i almost always get money. unless i ask for XXX, but this is part the price point any one will spend on me :(
replace xxx with name of item you are after.
say like replacing xxx with "UCS Millennium Falcon" :)

all i see are Dirty Minds!
I like it, but the price tag will probably ensure a short life. Also looks like it's taking the place of the Tumbler.

At $270 it should have included a robotic T-Rex and giant penny and the rest of the museum pieces...
at this rate, i well end up picking it up.
I think Lego has gone too far away with this set and has lost a great chance with it. The set lacks a precise identity. You can't come out with a set like this which is presumably targeted for mature AFOL who would buy it mainly for displaying purposes. The audience for this set have displaying priorities over playability ones. I'm not saying that the set is completely bad: the minifigures are great, so are the vehicles and the cave section. But what I really don't understand here is the configuration of the building, which is good only for the sake of that beam. At least Arkham Asylum was good for both aspects and both audiences, with a very nice building which was expandable. I think this was the perfect chance for LEGO to come out finally with a good looking Wayne Manor, or at least only a good facade of it like for the AA.
Well, it does if you call raising the entire street to make room for the batcave underneath, purchasing at least 4 sets to make a decent manor and extend the poles to the batcave underneath and bricklinking some grounds for your manor 'perfect'. So nearly perfect.
The height of the set obviously comes from trying to shoehorn in those spiral poles. I wonder how many more D2C sets will have that this year. I'm fully anticipating the Hoth set to have one so that the Tauntauns have a fun ride. That's why the set was delayed until this year, so they could include those poles.
Also I was surprised how much my son likes this set. It helps that the 60's Batcave, etc. was in the LEGO Batman 3 Video Game as a 'hidden' level I think.
i would love to like this set but i d rather have 2 separate sets that are done good!
a batcave and a wayne manor
chopper and helicopter as seperate sets too!
+ if oyu buy all the sets you dont have double minifigs. so every set unique minifigs ...
i really hate me for not likeing the set. but its just not appealing to me. maybe its bacause the building only has 1 wall. i like my buildings with 4 walls and roof!
i think a number of points will rule this a no get,
point 1 ( i have no super hero set's. ) i am not at this time planing to start collecting them any time soon "winter soldier mini fig don't count". (he was free)
point 2 (price) i can get 2 to 4 other set's i am after for the price of this one set.
point 3 (space to display it) if you going to get a set from a theme you don't normally buy then you will wish to display it more if not full time, most of my display points are ever changing display places. and most of my display's last 1 to 2 week's before getting changed for some of my other models. (in other words i am already out of space.)
Point 4 (i only like the look of about 70% of the model,) there are part's i like and part's i don't, if some one splits off the Batmobile then i may get it from Bricklink with Robbin and batman. also i may try to get my self the Wallpaper brick for Moc-ing with.
this post has help me make up my mind.
the it look's cool (even some of the bad bit's) can not overcome the point's listed here.
unless i come in to a lot of money this is off my list :( it makes me a little sad. but if you don't have endless money (or space) you have to limit your self.
i Proofread my posts 10 times+ most time i post.
i use lot's of ways to try and pick up all the stuff i miss when i type,
i will not list the way's here again. as i have said them before,
let just say it was alot worse before i used them tricks.
to be honest if i got it to the point that it just look's like i did not Proofread, then that is way better then normal.
I really like the Batmobile and maybe the Vintage looking figures than the whole set. Probably will bricklink the car and maybe buy the figures if someone is breaking up the sets (even if the figures will likely be 20 per figure)
Do not like the look.
Too expensive.
started out with hate, and turn to love. lol
Inexpensive nostalgia is not really nostalgia.
for me i get that feeling looking at Nexo Knights.
it remind me of visionaries and i love that show.
the 66 batman was a little before my time, i was a child of the 80's/90's
that's not to say i never seen the 66 batman, i have.
just not as big as a impact on my childhood
Cheesy holograms are perfect '80's nostalgia.
It's just so dang massive!
I think I may have worked out the pricing now. Obviously they started by calculating the price of one of the big super-modular style Ideas sets (wasn't there a Wayne Manor as well as a base for the X-men that each got ten thousand votes a year or two back?), then mentally sliced the set in half and got down to work making it meet Lego building standards. In that process things got simplified, naturally, (and the Batcave rose aboveground in some mysterious way) but the price stayed stuck at half of what the original MOC might have cost.
And no, I'm not seriously suggesting that this set is a rip-off from Ideas, any more than the GBHQ was, but the numbers do sort of work.
Comparing this set to the two big Simpsons sets does leave me with my mouth hanging open and my wallet squealing loudly....
Not the best way to guess imo. That set only has two minifigures and they are completely unique including hair. My guess would be someone trying to sell all vehicles and minifigs would want to cover the cost, so crudely, 270/12 means we are looking at about $22 per fig/vehicle. In reality no one would pay that for the penguin and they would pay more for the batmobile, but I reckon it gives a reasonable guess.
Simpsons and Ghostbusters had to have been great work by lego, it show that the cost of the IP has to have a big impact on set's, i did winder why it look like super hero set's look to have lass parts in them.
more then that and i would pass.
and yes i would view it as a ideas set. as it would sit next to Ecto 1, the TARDIS, Wall-E when i get him and the two cars from the Simpsons set's
