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.

A wonderful toy indeed!
" I've always been a fan of the Batman license. In fact, I've been appreciative of the movies, comic books and animated series since the Bruce Timm's adaptation in the 90's. The Batmobile always did stick out to me, because if you were to give me a billion dollars, that's the first thing I would buy.
Jokes aside, this rendition in LEGO form of this vehicle is truly phenomenal. I did purchase it at release on Black Friday (day one purchase) at the closest LEGO Store and I did wait long enough before posting my final thoughts. Honestly, when it comes to the value proposition, it is there and that's something to be commended considering the large and heavy set, the license, what the set aims to represent and the overall aesthetics. I was shocked by how heavy the retail box was, having built the UCS Y-Wing in 2018.
I do own the LEGO Dark Knight Trilogy Tumbler from 2014 and having the 1989 Batmobile (or Burtonmobile or Keatonmobile) just makes it a little more special. There's now a personal value attached to it and that has not happened in a very long time. I started building LEGO sets when I was 5-6 years old and this will probably be the best building experience in quite a while. Of course, the stickers are an issue and I do wish for more printed pieces in the future.
The minifigs are a nice addition but the car alone would have been enough. It was a day one purchase the second it was officially revealed and shared by reviewers. Huge respect for the designers at LEGO, special shoutout to Adam who also worked on the Tumbler.
