LEGO BATCAVE SHADOWBOX

[@BatmanandSonicfan4901]

I'm getting the set Friday I am so excited

[@georgepasymowski2508]

Great review. I'm getting this on day 1.

[@BrickTrains]

Great Review! It is an awesome looking set! Won't be a day one purchase, but I will probably pick it up at some point, Double VIP would be a good time.

[@alexnunes]

Good plan, It's a lot of money to throw at a single set, especially when there's so many good ones out there right now.

[@stephaniehidalgo6281]

I love this set so much 🔥 great review.

[@allangrant1326]

Super cool set! Love everything in it I am going to change out the ladder for a stairwell

[@oh_flock]

This is truly a genius design

[@oh_flock]

I feel like I could repurpose it into a TARDIS console room or the Torchwood hub

[@leasimms4495]

I’ll be purchasing. This is a great addition to Lego Batman family 👍🏼

[@bobbyc912]

Great review. You have such an awesome Batman collection and display. I doubt I’ll be picking this up unless a steep discount (in the $200 range). But I look forward to the Batman chase set coming up with the Batmobile and Joker which is more reasonably priced

[@kayman1615]

Nice review Alex! It’s better than I expected seeing it in your review vs just photos. It’s still way too expensive but might consider it if it goes on a steep discount.

[@CaChuaTV380]

Great share

[@wasiimd]

Looks pretty cool as a display piece, but my money is going to Rivendell. I grew up watching the Burton Batman movies, but my teens were all about LOTR, and I think the colour and design of Rivendell makes it an easy choice for me.

[@Hal-yc9jd]

That bat shelf is impressive looking

[@bigdaddyj452]

I dig this set. I think it’s great. I’m going to be getting this sometime this year for sure

[@jamesrolfe1651]

I love the speed build and how this came together! Thanks for sharing! Maybe buy with a really good GWP and double points. Black Friday maybe?

[@rory_pond1701]

When rumors of a $450 Batcave first appeared, my feelings were equal parts excitement and trepidation (mostly at the price). I couldn't help imagining what a $450 Batcave might look like. Seeing what LEGO had done with the Daily Bugle only increased my hopes and expectations. As the expected release date approached, my concerns grew that this might not be what I had been hoping for; less than a month out, all we knew were the minifigs, and the fact that only seven were included was a huge red flag. (For context, the Daily Bugle has 25 minifigs and costs $350.) When the first images were leaked (only a day before the official announcement), my feelings turned to profound disappointment at the design and great relief that I wouldn't be spending any money on it. I never imagined LEGO would waste so much of the volume and parts on a black box with a bat-shaped hole, leaving space for a very diminished Batcave. For anyone who likes this set, I'm happy for you. But given the shortage of DC sets in recent history, I hoped LEGO would come through with a truly impressive Batcave. Sadly, my faith was misplaced.

[@oh_flock]

I could agree on the bat shaped hole part

[@michaelvojkovic671]

This is amazing set.3d and u don’t get any another set like this at all.that idea let it open front and design that amazing Batman logo is one of best in Lego history

[@MAGAdoriya]

Beast 😎

[@klockibymichael4825]

great video , awesome set :)

[@Mardigrasman23]

I like. I like it a lot. Little steep but this time it may be warranted. Great review. Finally got to do a review on some you were going to buy. Lol

[@alexnunes]

Yes, finally! I was very happy to get this.

[@KVC-ft3hn]

How do you get the plate with the teapot to stay in Alfred's hand? Do you have to attach something to the bottom of it? Am i just missing something cause i cant get it to stay? Lol

[@alexnunes]

The hand should fit the middle of the plate. Basically the hand is the stud and the middle of the bottom plate is the anti stud. Hope that helps.

[@mezbricks]

It's a neat looking set. Is there an option to get rid of the cover (so one of the hinges) and you can display still as a box, but the cover removed?

[@stoichr3324]

If you have to choose between 1989 bstwing ucs set or shadow box which one would you choose?

[@alexnunes]

Shadowbox for sure, but I would choose the 1989 Batmobile over both.

[@Kiwidave]

I intend to get as well as the other Michael keaton batman related sets

[@shapeofsoup]

Heh, I used this exact same royalty free music for a Lego build I did like 8 years ago. Nice.

[@KrevarProd]

5:30 They do sell it 😉 -> 76224

[@qwkartist]

Where can I find your display stands for the batwing and Batmobile?

[@alexnunes]

These are custom stands I made for them. I did a video on them awhile back, but I don't have any detailed instructions or part lists for them.

[@someboringperson]

They are releasing a similar version of the Burton Batmobile this year, which comes with the Jack Nicholson Joker.

[@alexnunes]

Just saw that. looks great!

[@IlNanni]

Set number...?

[@benjohnson8175]

I missed out on the 89 batmobile and batwing, so I'm definitely getting this on day one.

[@JoshStaffieri]

@AlexNunes - appreciate the added commentary that you feel the $400 price tag is worth this set. And so having watched both your recent reviews for the Shadowbox and Ninjago City Markets and being a fan of both LEGO series, which of these 2 (~$400) sets would you lean towards if you could only get one and why?

[@alexnunes]

Thanks! Definitely Ninjago City Markets. I say that because I am a city builder and these modulars are great additions to it. Great playability and tons of minifigures. Shadowbox is great, but if it's my money (and it was), City Markets for sure.

[@dd_zzero6827]

I liked it better on the white shelf. It stood out better than the black on black.

[@OceanMan1997]

In my opinion $400 for this batcave is reasonable, But I can’t wait to buy this when it comes out

[@Greendyes_E]

I really wanna see the instructions to the Batmobile from this set so I can modify the back of the upcoming $50 one but I can't find them anywhere yet lol

[@bricklover2258]

With there being 2 minifig scale batman 1989 sets comming in August and my large barman 1989 sets are still sealed and my backlog is so behind right now even though I love batman this set is a pass for me especially at $400. I still need to start my only $400 set the Lion knights castle, so that will probably be done first. Thankfully, I have a spot for it.

[@bubbie-n-toyland9163]

Funny thing is we are going to get a batmobile like that as a set

[@planetdee3587]

Creators: Batman does not use guns. 1989/1992 Batman: Ha! I got machine guns in my Batmobile and Batwing.

[@omontano1981]

Very cool! What do you rate this?

[@alexnunes]

I'd give this set an 8/10. It checks a lot of "boxes"

[@princejaiswal6487]

Smart folk buys this when price drops to 300$ or even less 😅

[@dilansbroke]

Lego doest really put these type of builds on sale

@@techapollo9793 yeah , But this set is nice

[@dd_zzero6827]

Your reviews are soooo underrated. Awesome review as usual. I really like this set but at $400, it is too expensive. I would have preferred $350 or less.

[@alexnunes]

Thank you! And I think this would have been a $350 set before those terrible price hikes happened last year.

[@jacobe1942]

12:03 is that an accidental advanced look at the upcoming El Dorado set?

[@alexnunes]

It might be. If it is, then LEGO stole my MOC design.

[@jacobe1942]

@@alexnunes oh ok! its a nice moc but not what I thought the set should look like to be a remake of el dorado! The hype has been pretty high for me on that one.

[@wayneburriss7385]

How many bags

[@Jaykeyyy]

i would really like to get this lego set, but that 400$ price eek!! Other than that im pretty sure its a taker in my book

[@danielnelson4512]

Nice set. Really like it. $400 is a lot. I can see $300

[@danahfaren74]

Looks great but pass for me. I remain with very mixed feelings about the box shape and only seeing the full magic when its open. I doubt many will be able to place it somewhere opened.

[@dr_trebor]

It's outrageously expensive for what is a pretty average set.

[@Doom1984]

I agree not enough mini figures also compared to the daily bugle

[@joshuakim4569]

they always cheap out on batman sets idk whyyy

[@michaelvojkovic671]

Average set?this set is masterpiece.Looks like 3d and there r not another Lego sets like this

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Hello!

[@AJ-by6pd]

Yeah I hate that most of the pieces go to building a black box. I think it’s really over priced as well. I like the Batman classic bat cave a lot more.

[@thelastdisplay]

Alex are you going to get the Pac-man arcade set?

[@alexnunes]

I am on the fence with that. There are other sets I want to buy first. Maybe if this goes on a discount I may pick it up sooner.

[@thelastdisplay]

@@alexnunes It would be cool to see that gamer minifig and the micro Pac-man arcade in your amusement park or outside the doughnut shop.

[@MomentsOftheMagic]

ugh...got to save up some money

[@brickartisan]

It’s a good set, just not worth buying for me,also mostly because I prefer other themes
