1989 Batmobile 40433, reverse engineered from review photos

[mcphatty]

I don’t have the space (or money!) for the amazing new Batmobile, but I do for that mini one 40433.

It’s always disappointing when these limited edition freebies looks so brilliant but aren’t widely available, at least for now, but this time there are just enough review photos of the build that I thought I could reverse-engineer it and build one for myself. I had to make a few guesses for the internal structure but I think what I’ve managed is solid and most importantly cheap, the parts only cost around £25.

Here’s a link to my Stud.io model, in case you want one too :)

Thanks! I shared this over on Reddit on /r/DigitalLego!

This one pairs nicely with the Ideas Ecto ;)

@thenightman89 Thanks! I’ve since been told the instructions are available, so this is a bit pointless, unless it saves someone an hour of wishlisting parts, oh well. Just bought your Pride Rock instructions to make a kit for my wife for Christmas by the way, it looks excellent.

@TheDeeGee It does you’re right, I really wish I’d picked that one up!

Awesome! Thanks for your support! I'd love to see a pic when it's all done! :)

@thenightman89, I’ll stick one on Reddit on Christmas Day!
