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.

The Darkest Knight
" My favourite Batman Movie is the 1989 Tim Burton classic, and from that line alone you should gather this was purchased immediately from Lego.Com.
Beginning with a stable frame helpfully colour-coded where necessary (azure bricks!) the build only gets better- moving onto perfect recreations of the movie vehicles many sleek shapes and design choices. What few play features there are (annoyingly as we saw quite a few in the movie) are done exquisitly well, with the cockpit opening in lazy fashion the highlight- it simply is the 1989 Batmobile in all its glory.
Aside from the features, the techniques used are also astounding-my favourite was the wings, though I shan't spoil the process here- you need to build to find out.
Over and over again you will hear it being said that this is the perfect recreation, and never were truer words spoken.
Regarding the minifigures, Vicki Vale is nice although a bit generic (as one would expect from the only human-looking character amongst the trio) whilst Joker is definitely the highlight, a perfect recreation of Jack Nicholson that finishes what Joker's bulldozer started all those years ago in a purple fedora. Batman is lovely as a display minifigure, but one does question the rubber cape- I for one would have appreciated simply a new helmet mould, with the classic fabric cape instead- it just means there are only so many poses he can make.
All in all, this is a landmark of a set to end 2019 on, and I would thoroughly recommend all purchase it, whether they are a batman fan or not- the building process alone is thoroughly rewarding. "

A.K.A the one with crazy blades.
" This set was purchased at a slight discount to £20.99, and immediately appealed to me on what was a large model for a small amount of money. This wave was not my favourite in terms of Ninjago, regurgitating the snakes/evil ninjas from earlier eras of Ninjago, but nonetheless the model was pleasantly suprising.
Firstly, the minifigures are generally lovely, especially General Vex, with his intricate moulding doing wonders in portraying an icy foe that Chima scratched the surface of. Regarding the ninja, I don't think I'll ever like the new mask piece (it is hideously ugly, and makes them look odd) but FS Jay does a nice job of hiding this with the fiery back of his head adding a unique twist.
The Helicopter itself is a lovely build, with the main rotor having an impressive wingspan whilst the angled cockpit makes it suitably unique to be flying across your room.
The only flaw I have is the large ice blades; they work in a similar way to 2008's Jungle Cutter from the Indiana Jones wave, whereby rubber wheels move across the floor in order to spin the blades around. I unfortunately think they look very 'tacked on' and so only detract from what could have been another very sleek Ice Helicopter like the Ninjacopter from years back.
That being said, this is a lovely set; the build is worthwhile, and, even at full price it is justified. I would definitely recommend picking this up before it leaves the shelves for good. "
