Saruman Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Anyone else think The Scuttler is a good bet? The set was released JAN 2017 and is retiring JAN 2018. Was it such a bad sale? Or so popular that they sold out. Ebay is selling them for like 50 bucks. Trying to decide whether I should buy it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge Batman collector, but my concern is that this set is too unusual in appearance. It is a design only used in the movie that does not carry over to general batman fans. I don't think the movie was successful enough such that these very specific sets will have a lot of value (The Lego Movie was popular enough to create its own market). But I've been wrong before, and its an interesting set for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with most of this movie's sets is the same - they were on screen for a few seconds in most cases and left little impact. Plus you can get versions of most characters in other Batman sets so there's little that is must have about these. Wish I'd bought more Arctic Rollers when I could but don't see a lot of wow factor in this theme outside of the Joker low rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, the Arctic Roller and Low Rider are two sets I bought and I didn't buy much from this line. I just thought they were cool. I also liked the Clayface set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It definitely has potential. Ivy alone sells for $20. But If you're buying them at $50, you have to keep in mind that you're competing with sellers who managed to get them for $30 when Walmart was clearancing them out.

The villains' vehicles were on the screen for a short time, but the Scutter had the most screen time by far. If the movie turns out to be a cult classic for kids, then this would be the vehicle. Not the batwing, or batmobile (both). But that's if the movie is worth remembering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
