Batman™ fans and anyone who appreciates cool cars will love the LEGO® DC Batman 76139 1989 Batmobile™ model car kit for adults. This beautifully detailed LEGO brick building toy replicates the classic curves of the famous Batmobile car, as seen in the 1989 Batman movie. Measuring over 60cm long and built from 3,306 pieces, the model offers a challenging and rewarding build. Die-hard fans will love authentic features such as the slide-open cockpit with a new-for-November-2019 wraparound windshield element, 2 hidden machine guns with a pop-up function activated by turning the turbine exhaust, and decorative grappling hooks on each side of the vehicle. The Batman toy car comes with a rotating display stand (with an attached information plate with 1989 Batmobile™ statistics) for ease of viewing from any angle. A must-have for all Batman fans, this super-hero toy construction set also includes 3 new-for-November-2019 minifigures—Batman with a cape that matches his 1989 movie outfit, The Joker™ and Vicki Vale™—plus a brick-built minifigure display stand.

One of the best sets in recent memory
" The title says it all, this is one of the best sets Lego has released in the past couple years, and I say this with the experience of having purchased every single one of their collector sets they have released in that time frame.
This is quite possibly the funnest build experiences I've had from Lego. I've always loved the sets that combine a Technic interior that holds it together with a smooth Lego exterior. It's amazing how they were able to capture all the curves, and the sliding ability of the customized windscreen is sublimely smooth.
The Batmobile is way larger than it looks in pictures, and the details are exquisite. I watched Batman 1989 during part of the build and every time the Batmobile was onscreen, I paused to compare. The design is an almost flawless replica! I have literally nothing bad to say about this set.
And it is hard to build, there were several spots with complicated assemblies that I had to go back and redo because the offset is wrong. That's not a bad thing in my opinion, it boggles my mind how the designers can come up with these things.I noticed quite a few new Lego techniques I haven't seen before.
The model is solid, extremely solid. I fear having to disassemble it someday because of how securely and double-securely every brick is attached to each other. That's also a good thing!
If I could rank this a 6 out of 5, I would. The one drawback is the stickers, but there aren't that many and only a couple had a complicated placement. That's not enough to effect my review though. Do yourselves a favor and buy this while you still can! Batman has a unique cape, and you might never get another opportunity to own a Kim Basinger minifig or a Jack Nicholson Joker minifig either!
