lego rules Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 is the "New parts" cost on this around $120?The major cost is the tires and six pearl dark grey Hero Factory pieces. If you can't get those pieces somewhere other than bricklink, I think it will cost more. Quote
Jersey Crewmax Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Yesterday I managed to pick up 6 Hero Factory Breez sets 44027 at toys r us and got a free bricktober set. Today I ordered more tirer as they are currently available Quote
jbacunn Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 is the "New parts" cost on this around $120?This is about right. I haven't checked the price of the tires and Hero Factory pieces lately. The tires are popping up regularly on Bricks and Pieces so that's about $22 plus shipping. Your cheapest option for the Hero Factory pieces is finding them in the sets and buying them that way. I have wondered if they included this piece intentionally to foil the Bricklink builders because it is an odd piece to include in the set and 6 of them to make it even harder. Quote

zskid00 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I spent $270 on parts for 2 of them, but I went with fewer orders which was more expensive. I purchased many new parts on Bricks and Pieces at a higher price and finished up at Bricklink. The thought of navigating Bricklink to find the same seller with many of the parts I was looking for was overwhelming. 2 Quote
jbacunn Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The crazy thing about orders from Bricks and Pieces is that they ship it regular mail and there is no tracking. What major retail now a days ships without any tracking? I have an order that shipped last Thursday and I have no idea where it is or when I will get it. Quote

nolanfan34 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The knife pic is brilliant.Even open, the box alone is going to be valuable since it's so rare. I'm still insanely jealous of people who got these. 1 Quote
DFC01 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The major cost is the tires and six pearl dark grey Hero Factory pieces. If you can't get those pieces somewhere other than bricklink, I think it will cost more.It's actually cheaper to track down the Hero Factory sets and buy the tires and rims through Brick and Pieces than to buy the pieces through Bricklink. On Bricklink the tires are double the price and 3 Hero Factory pieces cost more than a set.I'm slowly building mine in the next couple of months. Tires and rims arrived today and the HF sets are on their way thanks to TRU. The rest I asked a friend who's always buying pieces on BL to buy them for me. Quote
conceptmachine Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Has anyone done the hard work and copied all the pieces needed, so that all we need to do is copy and paste in the order window for SAH? I know...lame but sheesh we're talking a PITA. I got the hero factory parts is all. Quote
10230 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 the HF sets are on their way thanks to TRU.That sounds like you ordered them online? How? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 That sounds like you ordered them online? How?that was my question about in store vs online earlier. I believe DFC01 went to in store CS and ordered the HF sets from them. Onto to a different question: are people ordering the wheels and rims from LEGO Shop at Home or just the wheels? I only picked up the wheels. Quote
DFC01 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 That sounds like you ordered them online? How?On their website they hadn't it but they had 3 or 4 on their inventory system for the whole country. Needless to say I ordered them all. I don't know how it is in other countries but here I have way more luck asking at the store - they check their national inventory - than searching on their page.I ordered the wheels and rims at LEGO Shop at Home. The price difference between Bricklink and LEGO Shop at Home wasn't that much and that's one less thing to worry. 1 Quote
Vodium Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Ordered 20 Furno XL s. Should have enough of the hero factory parts to make a few bat-pods now. To bad it cost me $28 ea with only 2 of the parts in each. Quote
stackables Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Can anyone tell me where the part list on this thread is? I was going to eventually attempt to build one. Quote
jbacunn Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Can anyone tell me where the part list on this thread is? I was going to eventually attempt to build one.Someone did post a file with the parts here probably 5 weeks ago but the set is inventoried on Bricklink. That would be the easiest way to get it. 2 Quote
Ted Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Can anyone tell me where the part list on this thread is? I was going to eventually attempt to build one.Try page 7 or 8 of this post. It should be there where about. By the way, that is based on viewing this topic on the computer. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Here is a quick link to Bricklink's inventory page of the Bat-Pod. 5 Quote
Silburned Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I just completed my Bricklink'd Bat-pod. After all said and done, cost was ~$120 incl. shipping. I already sold the extra tires I bought from Bricks and Pieces and made up some of the cost. I plan on building this live tonight on Twitch. I will probably start around 8pm (Pacific Time). This will look nice with my Tumbler, although the Bat-Pod is roughly the same length. Twitch Stream Edited November 3, 2015 by Silburned 1 Quote
10230 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Still looking into getting the HF parts for mine ... :-P. I missed the boat on those. Quote
znjndmawn Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I'm using the parts list in http://brickfanatics.co.uk/lego-bat-pod-instructions-parts-list/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Brickfanatics+%28Brick+Fanatics%29 I can't seem to find 1x 6105731 dark bluish gray at Bricks & Pieces as it's not giving any matches. Can someone tell me what's the correct Element #? Quote

It is in most of those new speed champions sets but I could not find it searching the set inventories either. I ended up ordering on bricklink where it shows up fine. Seems like a LEGO Shop at Home glitch, maybe if you call. 1 Quote

exciter1 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 If any of you are still looking to build the Bat-Pod, it appears Technic set 42050 Drag Racer has the tires in it, so they won't be going away. 1 Quote
