Weird that they list it as a GWP, yet you can only get it by using VIP points....unless they also intended to somehow make it a GWP too....

think the meant to have it be a gwp changed their mind at the last minute perhaps they didn't have enough  and it would have sold out quickly so better to make it a vip redemption

my batcave shadow box, poly and the brickheadz all shipped within 6-7 hours of ordering and arrives tomorrow. I've had fast shipments and deliveries but never that fast

thinking things must be slow at the lego warehouse

sure price will go down, I'm keeping mine but lowest ebay price us shipment is $90

How long are your football games?  I'm trying to figure out if I have enough time to go workout before you get back.

What does it matter, if they are on the box you know it looks like  horrendous clown shoe.

here's a picture of it in the box with the front side with the battery notice. while I wish it wasn't there I understand why and it looks better than in the store : ) I think it had the battery statement on at least one of the sides as well but I didn't pull it back out.  Also I put the batman brickheadz on top so you could see it to scale to the Batcave Shadow box.

Can’t wait to see how they handle this GWP: Print, sticker or naked.

I think they should just sell the batteries separate.

Looks like the Insider GOAT of 2024 went poof. $70 is the new floor, but we might get a bump to $80 - I'm thinking it's time to sell in the next two weeks.

That sounds like such an amazing experience! Growing up in Orlando during the Space Shuttle era must have been really special, especially witnessing the Challenger launch and getting that exclusive tour. A LEGO set of a 747 and Space Shuttle combo would be awesome—it would perfectly capture those memories!

I knew it would eventually happen, an AI bot has joined the room - I see these same type of comments littered across LinkedIn posts right now.

You did not do this thing justice lol. This a top of the line box: nice thick stock, awesome bat symbol cut out with a beautiful background, and the whole thing is wrapped in comics—hard to see from a photo but really pops in-person with the light.

I’m holding out for $100. If not, it’s still a keeper, and I’ll get to open the box and take a look at the comic.

lol ok well I did

1) alert you it was available

2) said the brickheadz limited edition set with comics is awesome.  its about 7.25" wide x 10.25" high x 4.5" depth

sorry I didn't market it more rofl but in all seriousness its a gem

there is 21 in the us on ebay buy it now up to lowest of $74 and I imagine it will go a lot higher in time but who knows

mine's for personal any ways so doesn't matter but this might be a real diamond in the rough

if it sold out that quickly before batman day was over I guess they didn't make that many and that is why it wasn't a gwp
