Herky Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 In this Sunday's TRU ad, on the front page, they have advertised a Build Your Own Bat Signal Spotlight in the store on Oct 18 from 12-2, there is a picture of it and it is pretty nice looking. Here is a link to a pic: http://www.usmomdeal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screen-Shot-2014-10-07-at-9.22.17-PM.png I would love to get it just for the large bat signal piece. Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 There's a couple of interesting pieces there... What do the (black) Astromech legs plug into? Quote
Rinzler Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Please tell me that this is in the UK too Quote

What do the (black) Astromech legs plug into? near as I can tell it looks like a solid 4x4 brick with pegs or maybe 2 of them since the bat signal looks too wide, I hope to find out, have it marked on the calendar to get there with my kids and hopefully get 2 of them built...I think this is a kids only thing, you can find out at toysrus.com/toyevents Quote

htbomb Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 The fine print at the bottom of the Sunday ad: "Event intended for children, ages 5-up." I wonder how many "big" kids will show up. Quote

I wonder how many "big" kids will show up. My local store use to have enough for the "big kids" but in recent years, they would run out and now it's kids-only. I guess LEGO suddenly got much more popular or people are networking better to spread the news of these freebies. Edited October 13, 2014 by badbob001 Quote

Rinzler Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Well, I went, bad news I'm afraid Did anyone else get it? Quote

Nope they had like 5 bat signals and sold out quick. The lady told me all they had was a friends poly bag and didn't give me anything and then they it was ages 5 through 12. I left upset. My toysrus has terrible workers. Quote
TheBatstan Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 J2G managed to snag one and upload a review. Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 My daughter got one. The R2 legs mount into a 2 x 1 brick with a technic hole in the middle. Lego used to have a 4 x 4 round brick with pin holes all around--is that part now out of service? It would have worked a little better. I mean, it's otherwise fine for a freebie. I do wish that the bat-logo porton had been trans-yellow or clear with the Bat-logo printed on, but what can you do... Quote
vriverajr3 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Took my son to get one. My TRU had a whole box full(at least 75). I asked if "big kids" could get one too, but sadly, I...I mean, they, couldn't haha. But along with the set, we also got a really cool comic book with a pull out of all the super heroes and villains done by Paul Lee. Quote

cullmancreations Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Dang I knew about this and on the day the event occurred I completely forgot about it which I highly regret Quote
CommishGordon Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I bought one off of ebay as I couldn't make it to a store for the event. Really like it - it looks great with a Commissioner Gordon next to it! Quote
