Bought the last of my favourite Batmobiles from eBay with the Tumbler from 2021, set 76239. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous, and it always surprises me how these sets are created from so many small pieces.
Anyway, I thought I would post a picture of it sitting next to the Tumbler from the set 7888 released in 2008. Admittedly, mine is a clone, but the design is identical. I just found it interesting in seeing the difference of the same vehicle designed thirteen years apart.
Get out of bed, lazy.
Which is which
My brother has that newer one. It’s really nice, just about Minifig scale. He also has the 1989 Batcave shadowbox set and the 1989 Batwing and they’re all about Minifig scale as well. I think it would be awesome to do like a Batman 75 (or close to 85 now) setup out of Legos.
The shadow box is lovely and way out of my price range. 😄
I used to have a clone of the technic Lego Batpod but it was rather fragile and I lost pieces so I binned it.
Although, I’ve just recently got a MOC Batpod which a minifig can ride.
If Lego released the animated version of the Batmobile, that would probably do me.
Are you gonna get the big one too? If you don’t have it already
I don’t have the money or a house big enough unfortunately. I nearly bid on the older UCS version today on eBay. It was missing several easily replaceable parts on the front right hand side by the wheel but I decided not to.
I’m happy with my minifig collection of film vehicles.
ECTO 1, ECTO 1(2016 version - clone), BttF Delorean, Tron light cycles and Batmobiles.
It’s interesting how the utilization of SNOT in the 2021 set improves the shape of the front end when compared to the 2008 version.
I don’t get a lot of Lego, so I’m often surprised by new pieces. The one that surprised me with this set was a 2x2 flat piece that had a technic bolt on the bottom.
There’s three of those holding on the sloped front ends on either side, clicking into the technic brick substructure.
