hello

[@MrMikey1703]

"They turn in both directions" - bloody hilarious :)

[@CrazyChemistPL]

These windshield pieces will come so handy for so many Lego fighter planes.

[@spooky2bricks]

Possibly, but not for minifig scale builds which is the majority of military aircraft in Lego. The issue is these aren’t exact to any specific fighter which is what most most Moc builders are going to want if there working in such a large scale to fit these windshields.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

@@spooky2bricks I think out of the box, combining the large and small canopy would make a nice cockpit for a large scale P-51D Mustang. However, I realized now they are 6 stud wide instead of 4 wide which is indeed an issue. If they were 4 stud, they would greatly complement the 4 wide half cylinder pieces, the ones used, for example, in the rear window of Icons Porsche 911 Targa, for a longer canopy of somethng like a Tomcat.

[@spooky2bricks]

@@CrazyChemistPL The canopy combining may work but the problem I see is for the large scale there just not accurate enough based on other large aircraft builds like some people have done. Most still may just want to resort to making custom canopy designs to preserve accuracy. The 6 Stud wide issue is definitely a concern but I definitely agree that these in combination with other large scale canopy’s ay make for a solid design. Like you said, the 4 wide half cylinders may work really well, perhaps like a large scale version of Cody Osell’s Brickmania F-14 design technique used for the minifig scale design.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

@@spooky2bricks I guess we will have to wait and see what Lego themselves do with these pieces... if anything.

I think it looks great. And it´s also a sign on how licensing works. this seems like a good fairly priced model, even if Robin is missing. The sail barge on the other hand is insane

[@verios44]

I agree on the UCS sail barge! I have a lot of UCS sets in my collection. But something is off on that Sail Barge in design alone. It feels way too ... I dunno. Simple? Cant put right word. Just gut doesnt like it.

@@asgads that is true. Missing the sand skiffs is a big blight on the set.

[@redsaints]

Wow, I had a small metal Batmobile as a kid and it had so many functions. Even the Aston Martin had all the bond gadgets. Deal breaker along with no robin.

[@poykehmusic]

8:19 Well, all Lego sets start as mixed bags though... 😀

[@tpaddock891]

Great review and I love that you are not hesitant to speak the truth about a set when it's not all it could or should be.

[@Gzilla313]

I love the shade about advertising a car has rotating wheels lol

[@cprooks]

I Don't Care About A Connected Steering Wheel But The Fact That You Can't Turn The Front Wheels Is Insane

[@Outrun6017]

I appreciate your review, this is a day 1 purchase for me.

[@rogerhalt3991]

Great shaping everywhere. I really like how the front comes together

[@ProWierdchamp]

I have been asking for Lego to make this Batmobile in bigger scale for a LONG TIME now and finally It’s Here!!! Thank you for the review and I want to get this! But there is just three problems with the set: NO STEERING? WHAT? LEGO you just sacrificed a really cool function for display. Pretty disappointed that steering wasn’t implemented. And even if this looks awesome, functions were so sacrificed for display. I wished they would at least put more working functions in this to make it more playable and fun. And third, where is the Robin and Joker Minfig? We need them in the set too.

[@poykehmusic]

Awesome vehicule, and _great review as usual._ I'm gonna add *spinning exhaust flames* 🔥and try and remove the *gray windshield outlines* straight away. As for the _mudguards,_ I'll probably try and build a _rounder shape_ later on.

[@troodon1096]

A little light on features (openable hood and wheels that can rotate in TWO directions; wow!) and way more Robin-less than I'd prefer, but honestly I still kind of want it. Can't deny it looks great.

[@TheAtoll]

I think Lego has been using AI to write marketing copy or translate marketing copy on their product descriptions lately. Check out this bullet point from set 40721 Halloween Barn: "Skeleton toy - The magic is brought to life by a skeleton minifigure that has an open mouth, conjuring hours of creative role play" What a strange description of the classic skeleton mini fig, am I right? Open mouth, what does that mean?

[@trojanspringer4024]

Yes, rotatable wheels! Really the only good thing about this set is the looks. The lack of functions is a big and real letdown, especially compared to the other large scale batmobiles. Nice review though!

[@StolenEyesX]

I know it’s just me, but I find those squared off wheel arches really offputting. The smaller-scale model actually does them better.

[@pizzareno]

Not just you. The wheels and wheel arches being so wrong ruin the look for me.

[@jameslovell8682]

@@pizzareno Me too...I think I will pass on this one.

[@nathandavern7030]

How else are they supposed to do it tho

[@Doomski85]

I really like the look of this set and pre-ordered it. Lack of functions doesn't bother me. Delorean doesn't have many, and in reality I never play with my Lego sets , even the Technic ones. It will look great next to DeLorean and Ecto-1 on the shelf for me to admire :)

[@AHYL88]

I'm very surprised by the price of this; it costs the same as the Icons Chevrolet Corvette, despite this being drastically longer with 50% more parts.

[@mkprofessionalism]

This set is awesome! Thanks for the review! I wish LEGO will release again some bigger scaled trucks like the iconic 8285 Tow Truck and the 8258 Carne Truck. 😊

[@jasonm9336]

Damn, I didn't think it would be that huge!! Love it even more, going to fit great on the wall next to the 1989' Batmobile!

[@StarTrekDoor]

Wheels that rotate in both directions is a must! 🙂

[@Lingham]

THANK you So much for putting the Ecto in it!! It was me that asked on instagram and I’m so happy you did. It’s a lot bigger than Ecto so I’m out now of buying it as it’s too large!! Thanks again!! ❤❤

[@clevmagyk770]

What an awesome video! The script for this one was really good.

It's a small fandom. Even though everyone loves Batman, the demand for the old TV show just isn't there to justify the r&d on a more complex and expensive model. At this price, it will be purchased by many "casuals" because it is a cool display piece.

[@RacingBrick]

LEGO released a $270 set a few years ago based on the exact same TV show, and that was a playset :)

[@nargios5]

honestly if theyre going to give us another car at this scale with as many functions as the Ecto-One or DeLorean, Id ADORE an Icons Style Mach 5 from Speed Racer!

[@ashbrixalot1988]

this batmobile looks so good, I'm deffinetly going to buy one to unbox and review on my channel! Great video my friend!

[@Mocsfromscratch]

I was really expecting something a lot in this Batmobile set for the money. Good thing that I watched your review before planning to buy the set.

[@emiltonder]

BEST BATMAN VEHICLE

[@Gzilla313]

The Tim Burton Batmobile will always be the most iconic to me.

[@AndyBuildsStuff]

Too bad about the missing gadgets, I thought it might be like James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 set, with pop-up guns, bulletproof rear shield, and ejecting passenger seat! But I guess not. For steering, the siren mounted on top could have connected to a hand-of-god steering mechanism. Oh well, at least everything is labeled.

[@ACOB]

It's gorgeous. I have the Robin but totally agree on that.

[@tamerkabes1551]

Fair reveiw. I think a lot of us as well are not exactly going to use the features that are perhaps in the Ecto-1 and the car will remain collecting dust with full pride on the shelf :D (at least mine does). From a display prespective I think the price and volume of stuff in the new set is really really good :)

[@elcrackengaitos_bs4804]

Yo the RacingBrick shirt is sick!

[@RacingBrick]

Thanks, you can get one too :)

[@hornext4937]

I can't believe they forgot to mention that the wheels turn in both directions! Honestly the best feature of this model!

[@therandomnarwhal]

This really was the perfect opportunity to reintroduce the classic Robin minifigure. At least the pricing is amazing

[@WizardOfOss]

A bit more negative than I would have expected, but I can't really disagree with any of the criticisms. Okay, I don't care about minifigs, so I won't be missing Robin. But a lot more stickers than I expected, and the lack of functions is a bit of a shame. I am surprised by the size though, didn't expect it to be this huge! And because of that, I think this is still a surprising great deal for a Lego set nowadays. Almost makes you wish they had made it a bit more expensive but better. Like €180 but with steering and a few more "essential" prints like the Bat symbol on the sides would still feel totally fine by me. Or maybe even €200 with all prints and a few more gizmos. Still, surely gonna buy this....after I found some place to put it 🙂

[@BRIT_N_BRICKS]

I was super excited to see this set review but how disappointed I was with the functionality of it. It looks stunning but that’s about it. The build looks very meh for the most part of it until you get to the outer bodywork lol. This is what would call a car that is all show and no go. Great honest review on this and I would have to agree on all of this 100%

[@lorenzo2349]

It would be nice to get that Batman figure in a polybag in the future!

[@jdriley24]

Racing Brick: no functions, not a complicated build. Me: did he say Batmobile?? BUYING IT ANYWAY!!!

[@greghagan7157]

Maybe they meant that each wheel rotates independently? It's kind of a nice feature for display purposes, as you can have the bat logo on each wheel lined up perfectly with one another.

[@gianlucamunari2041]

Perfect review, I'm totally agreed with you!

[@marklinehan6000]

A great review Balaczs, and I totally agree! Too many stickers,and missing a Robin (Boy Wonder) figure. If you look at the Corgi diecast model, it was smaller and had several operating features, while the Batmobile just has rotating wheels (sorry, they rotate in both directions)!

[@thomasrodriguez7803]

I've been waiting for your review on this model, and I have come to a conclusion. I'm buying it. Simple, although I would have liked to have had a steering mechanism at least, decently size scale, and a decent price. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated. Side note: sad that there is no Robin.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

There's something about this set that doesn't look right to me, but I'm not sure what. Thanks for the thorough, balanced review!

[@nathandavern7030]

It's the square fenders. I found out about it in jangbricks review, and ever since it's bugged me so much

[@robertspooner8777]

Being a kid who dropped everything to watch the original Batman back in the day, I absolutely love the look of it and will definitely be getting one to display in my office.

[@Lars_stromberg]

I have got a order on this. I Will have it now to build

[@abdelghanifakroune9020]

I love this set

[@Thinginator]

I both like the way this looks and feel like it was phoned in. I both like the price for the size and feel like it lacks value. I agree a Batmobile of all things should be filled to the brim with functions, and this certainly has space for it, yet it's just empty. At least it's a nice display piece I guess...

[@brotherbor]

Thank you so much for this review! It was on my wish list, but because of the lack of features and simplicity of the build I’ll skip this one and will wait for my pre-ordered Batmobile from the Corgimodelclub…

[@kevinDG7]

Agree with you. For a display piece it perfect. I just order it because I got the other batmobile too so would be great on the shelf between the other 2 big cars. To bad about a Robin figure and no gadgets.

[@DaWingman]

Those stickers are the worst ... the only premium thing about Lego is the pricing, as usual. And I guess it will take less than a month for MOCers to make a stearable car from the set's parts :)

[@ianjones7486]

I have been waiting for Lego to build this model for a few years now, expecting a full Technics set. I will be getting it but really this. is no more than an upscaled version of what we have seen before. Lego you dropped the ball on this one.

[@DevonLadd]

The labeling is entirely canon too lol, they had big signs over every unique prop used, renamed for the specific task the device was being used for XD

[@malcolmarkell2135]

I think it looks cool and I have mine on pre order . I agree it should have a Robin figure

[@johndelaney1527]

I have this on Pre order as i have the Batman collection so its a must for me. Not happy about the 1 minifig would of loved a Robin... as for features, honestly I'm not to bothered as it will be on a shelf to look at like the others, I don't play with them haha (much) The size has shocked me for sure though! wasn't expecting it to be that big.

[@rogerchalifour2171]

Thank you for your presentation. I am now convinced to take my dollars to a different set. For one, it is too big and seems to be too simple of a build knowing this is targeting AFOLS. There are now too many scales in the Lego world of cars and the smaller set you showed us in the video if cleaner and better looking considering it's scale. For awhile I was trying to decide between the Lamborghini and this one. It will be the Lambo...

[@edselsugay4768]

Reminds me of the flat shoe that is the Star Wars Landspeeder. Nonetheless, impressive level of accuracy. Both models.

[@MrKlawUK]

interesting review. from the previews I thought this was a day one. But its so much bigger than the creator expert/icons scale vehicles I don't know I have space for it - and the lack of similar scale gives me a good excuse to skip. I might wait a while and pick up later. do we know how big the original TV car was - was it bigger than a regular car?

[@arghjayem]

08:22 I’d say based on the construction techniques and the parts used etc….that the set is more aimed as a one off purchase for a hardcore sixties Batman fan than for the broader AFOL market. You know buy it for Grandad next Christmas who grew up with the sixties batmobile but has never previously built a Lego set- complicated and big enough to justify the price, but simple enough for someone inexperienced with LEGO to build it! 🤔🤷🤣

[@richardr7389]

The technic beams that run through the sides prevent any chance of functional doors as the model is so heavy it couldn’t support itself without those beams.

[@richardjulien1329]

I guess it s still a good thing that some lego sets that are more likely to be put on a shelf has lower price and lesser functions... tho if it s something i would want at first, i think i would prefer the functions

[@kevinkeely7948]

Jeez. Some people are never happy. I read in a Facebook post there's a place where you can get chrome bricks for the windshields instead of gray.

[@nikolaypanov8159]

2:57 looks like this is no longer an illegal technique, and I love it

[@spacegirlproduction9506]

Wow,that’s massive! Price seems very good! But too big for me - I prefear mustang scale

[@rvallenduuk]

There's a whole "Where is Robin?" video out there ;-) I thought it was weird that 76188 had Joker and no Robin. This one is even stranger. The set didn't need a minifigure but a lot of people seem to expect that now. But then, why the rehash of the gargoyle to stand Batman on, and no Robin? I think most people would have preferred Batman and Robin to stand either side of the plaque over this gargoyle thing without Robin. No steering and open doors although with those angled fins doors would have been tricky. A lot of the gadgets are hard to do in Lego; Auto Pilot, Radar, Flame Thrower, Gas Attack... But I agree, it's a bit light on play functions. I guess that's what happens if you don't give the designer enough time. But holy moly, that thing is BIG!

[@TheGreatSteve]

Those windscreens could definitely be used on a fighter jet.

[@TheGreatSteve]

This might make for a good parts set.

[@AlienWooshie]

The large car actually comes with no minifigs. The minifig you have is a "free gift" for spending over $50CDN/$30US on specific models

[@okieg8960]

The real car is based on the Futura concept car. Hopefully someone makes one

[@zaxisontherun1650]

I just realised,the wheels rotates 360 degrees

[@floydforthought9998]

Love this car, but those stickers suck! Still gotta get it though! Definitely a dream set. Planning on posing some Mcfarlane Batman’s around this thing.

[@johncollins5552]

Holy rotating car wheels Batman! Robin would have exclaimed and so to avoid embarassment the Lego designers dropped his minifig from the giant batmobile set😆

[@johncollins5552]

Enjoyed this review and I like the set bit I would prefer tue Creator scale size not this Big. I am content with my minifig scale model so its an easy pass. However for those tuat dont this new Giant Batmobile looks worth a spin!

[@Leo1_Lego]

Cool shirt!

[@ricklee4220]

That’s why it’s only $150 minifig scale is the way to go if you want to model it

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Seems like a lot of what is coming out of LEGO these days is either "meh" or overpriced or both. I was waiting on this one and will likely get it along with the last Tumbler set just so I have a couple Batmobiles for my collection. I'll add a classic Robin minifigure and build another stand for him (maybe a building wall with both climbing up it - fans of the TV show will get that reference). Thanks for the detailed review and thoughts!

[@natbarmore]

The lack of functions is particularly disappointing considering the excellent James Bond car from a couple years ago that crammed so many amazing working gadgets into an even smaller car. Heck, the Mustang has more functions than this! Hopefully the windshields will hit bricks&pieces, but I can’t see much reason to buy the rest of the set.

[@TheGreatSteve]

I had the Corgi version as a kid.

[@dmed5480]

Ur the reason I never put the "rust" stickers on my Ecto1

[@LimChingLiang]

UCS Classic Batmobile but missing key mini figure which is Robin. Minus 50% interest.

[@werdna9006]

Agree!! BIG mistake not including Robin

[@mrchicken08]

This is low key infuriating to be honest. Robin was just as major as Batman in that series.

[@edselsugay4768]

The lack of functions probably explains the relatively cheaper price.

[@dragonh3art1]

I would of thought they would of had Batman and robin figures for sitting in it,it’s not the same without them ,

[@werdna9006]

Missing the flame from the exhaust is a big miss also

[@mr-fh2be]

Nice set. Was excited to get, but the sticker sheet is a major issue. This set should have used printed pieces. The lack of functions really hurts. Even the Back to the Future DeLorian had a few iconic functions.

[@AresWasTaken]

this reminds me of luke's land speeder, looks good, does very little

[@edvanduijn4163]

I really liked this build, however the flat wheel wells are unrealistic. I changed them to be more round/curved as they are on the real 1966 batmobile.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

While agree with the price, as this is a fraction less than the Lambo, but I have some serious criticisms on this one. Owning both Ecto 1 and large scale 89 Batmobile which make sense at their respectable sizes this could have been significantly smaller for what little it does. The Corvette had a much smaller build with steering so other than simplification for inexperienced builders I can't think of any other excuse for the car not to have functional steering. The display stand with Batman is also severely lacking and looks nearly identical to the 89 era Polybag of Batman. Lego seems to really hate Robin for some reason or other. Definitely going to stick with the minifigure scale 60s Batmobile as this is an easy skip.

[@bjarnvik]

I like it! But I miss Robin!

[@richardr7389]

No excuse for not having opening doors and functioning steering. This thing should be as loaded as the DB-5.

[@mayankmarathe9757]

They should release the 1989 none again, that would be so cool

[@nathandavern7030]

Why would they release it again. Just buy it online like a normal person it's not that old of a set

I wonder how much more it would have cost to produce a mass produced, injection moulded and machine built, Robin.

[@Moondoggy1941]

When I got into Lego on one lonely night on Amazon I saw the OG Batmobile it was 66 dollars so I purchased it, the next day I went to WalMart to look at Lego and they had the very same set for 22 dollars, I was WTH, it took me 6 months before I would purchase anymore from Amazon, I sent back the original Purchased and I forgot to put the paper back in the box and somehow the seller credited me my money anyways.
