70912 - Arkham Asylum

[HandyHand]

Nice review of this big set by The Brick Show:

I foresee a future collector's item, similar to the Hogwarts Castle set...

That's what I said about the previous version....and we all saw how that turned out.

Again... Lego is showing their creativity. Not!

 

[redghostx]

It's definitely not as nice (or "moody") as the Breakout but it has a really nice collection of minifigs and a couple of good features

[ChristopherJB]

What a waste of time. This one will tank and suck like the previous one. Lego must be running out of ideas.

Different strokes for different folks but this is definitely a lack lustre set for me. And since when are police cars center drive!?

I believe it is the second time I see the police car from Kwik E-Mart being re-used lately.

I actually like this one. Like the minifigs as well. If they'd put in minifigs + jail uniform would have been even greater. As reseller this sucks of course. As LEGO fan not so much.

Hate this set, especially contrasting it to Breakout

[ppsagehen]

Watching it now with my kids- 9 year old boys. They hate it too. 

They say Poison Ivy and cat girl look like they came from a friends set- for a 9 year old boy that's about the worst thing imagineable except duplo and the joker looks like he came from a duplo set. 

Two face looks like ice cream got dumped on his head and melted.

The riddler's hair is terrible.

It's very cramped- the cells look like bathrooms with windows... but they do like the watermelon slices.

They also like the police car and the x ray machine. 

Overall though a step backwards from the last iteration.

I thought the design looked familiar.

It went live on the TRU and Lego store a while ago, limit is 5...can only assume they made a bunch.

I'm shooting for a couple, under $100.

I like this Arkham. I want it.

This set will eventually find a place in my display. Somewhere between the creepy jokerland Arkham Asylum breakout and the haunted house scooby zone.
