CoastaLego Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 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. It also includes an exterior wall for climbing, with an opening roof for easy access to the Batpoles and an aerial element. The Batcave incorporates a hi-tech, 2-floor Bat Lab with Batcomputer element and a variety of detachable accessory elements, including a lie detector machine, table, chest of drawers, Bat-gadgets and test tubes with translucent elements. Also includes the iconic Batcave entrance for the Batmobile and a helipad for the Batcopter. The Batmobile features a dual cockpit with iconic Batphone, 2 stud shooters, an opening trunk, dual exhaust and sign stickers. The Batcopter has an opening cockpit for a minifigure, bat-inspired wings with 2 flick missiles, spinning rotors and a spinning propeller. A villain minifigure can grab onto the back of the Batcopter for more aerial battle action. The Batcycle features a driver’s seat for Batman™, translucent headlight element and a sidecar for Robin™. Also includes a cat. Weapons include The Joker’s TNT, Catwoman’s whip, The Riddler’s TNT and The Penguin’s umbrella. Accessory elements include Batman’s 3 Batarangs, rope, grappling hook and handcuffs. Includes separate minifigures for Batman™ and Robin’s alter-egos, so enter the secret doorway as Bruce and ****, and slide down the Batpoles as LEGO® DC Super Heroes!"

TheOrcKing Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm buying at least 2 and MOC it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where my extra SDCC Batmobile is right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Brule Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more - the wallpaper pieces are just awesome. This is rapidly turning into a Day 1 purchase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yup. Making 9860 less appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yup. Making 9860 less appealing 6860, I think you mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 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 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
