Brickpicker News Article and Discussion

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a thread on this.  What's everyone's thoughts on this set?  

Looks like an sesame play set and love the 60s theme but not sure I would have room for it.  

Lego stores description 

"It’s back to the Batcave with this special set featuring iconic elements as seen in the classic 1960s Batman™ TV show. Answer emergency calls on the Batphone in Bruce Wayne’s private study. Then press the button under the bust of Shakespeare and open a sliding false bookcase to reveal the secret entrance to the Batcave. Change Bruce Wayne™ and **** Grayson™ into Batman™ and Robin™ and slide down the Batpoles. Protect the Bat Lab’s Batcomputer from The Joker’s TNT attacks and test Catwoman™ with the lie detector machine. Fly the Batcopter with Robin and fire the flick missiles. Then drive the Batmobile or Batcycle and stop those villains escaping with the Batcave’s secrets!

• Includes 9 minifigures: Batman™, Robin™, Bruce Wayne™, **** Grayson™, Alfred Pennyworth™, The Joker™, Catwoman™, The Riddler™ and The Penguin™.
• This LEGO® model of the Batcave as seen in the classic 1960s TV series features 2 Batpoles for Batman™ and Robin™ to slide down, a selection of Bat-gadgets, helipad, plus a Batmobile and Batcopter.
• The Wayne Manor section of the model features Bruce Wayne’s study with the iconic Batphone, a hinged Shakespeare bust with secret button underneath, sliding false bookcase to access the Batpoles, and assorted elements including decorated wallpaper bricks, wall lamps, framed portraits, a framed fish and trophies.

Some reason seeing Grayson's first name censored so many times is just hilarious to me. Now if only LEGO did something with a certain private eye called Tracy who liked wearing a signature yellow trench coat.

Everyone wants to see **** slide down the Batpole. Right? Anyone?

Looks like another lonely mountain but no smaug to help push the set.

Until that Batmobile starts selling that set.

I will definitely buy that Batmobile from a parter outer on ebay, but I no longer want the "cave". That's a lot of money for a vignette set.

[exciter1]

I'm buying at least 2 and MOC it up.

2 complete sets, probably take one Batmobile to work.  That's where my extra SDCC Batmobile is right now.

Love the Batmobile, Batcopter, and minifigures. Such cool designs. All the extra cave parts will appeal to some but seems a little much. The wallpaper printed pieces are killer - hope to see more of that from Lego.

I couldn't agree more - the wallpaper pieces are just awesome.  This is rapidly turning into a Day 1 purchase...

[ISO8T0]

Yup. Making 9860 less appealing

6860, I think you mean...

[Quacs]

Agreed, although the high price point of the new one shouldn't kill 6860's price.  I'm hoping (maybe naively) that 6860 will have a little growth this year.  $150 perhaps?   I would be happy selling there with my buy-in between $55-65.

[jaisonline]

The inferior 6860 Batcave halted 7783’s growth for nearly 2 years so I expect this 76052 will do the same to both prev versions.  76052's high cost should prob help the older sets to an extent. Just not sure how much help.

I do think a mashup of 7783 and 76052 could work for MOCers though.

I can definitely see 7783 taking a hit, but I just don't see a significantly cheaper set not growing because of a set that's nearly triple its MSRP (and current value on the Bay).  Those that can't afford the new one can always fall back to 6860.  Perhaps this could make for a good blog article - I bet we could gain some insight comparing the perfomance of old non-UCS TIE fighter and Slave I since new UCS TIE fighter and UCS Slave I were released.

Yes.

Has it been determined if this is the vip exclusive set for Feb 17th?

[Mos_Eisley]

I know it's just his name, but I'm really surprised there's now an official sticker that says this:

[Guest brickcrazyhouse]

[TheOrcKing]

....It's just Dick. No need to make such a big deal over Dick.

I won't put the picture here, but I will post the link.

For those of you that know (or don't know), Starfire, in 80's, had a relationship with Dick.  She and Dick broke up.  Here was her reaction.

Starfire loves...
