JintaiZ Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) The newest addition to the Batman line has been revealed - The 1989 Batwing. Gotta say, this looks awesome! Photo: Brickset news The price will be 199 USD/199 EUR/179 GBP - seems quite reasonable for me. What are your thoughts?

MAB Posted September 21, 2020 My thoughts? I thought Batman was DC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Good old Lego builder Posted September 21, 2020 It does look nice, certainly cool to display on the wall. It doesn’t seem to have many functions, so I’m curious. Looking forward to a review. Is it more than a bat-shaped disc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good old Lego builder Posted September 22, 2020 I’m an adult. What I mean: the batmobile has steering, the mechanism for the guns, the nicely moving roof. This one..... opening roof? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lionbear8 Posted October 1, 2020 To top it off the 89 Batcave, with Wayne Manor, miniature scale like the Harry Potter hogwarts set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin8 Posted October 2, 2020 I'm a little upset. It seems to me to be a little cropped. I mean, the body is not proportioned to the wings. The wings should have been larger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin8 Posted October 6, 2020 Sure, but Lego makes sets in almost 2 years before putting in shops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are clearly trying to make this set the same scale as the batmobile, so I'm assuming that's the way it has to be...

I bet you can make this Batwing design using just the parts of the big Batmobile." That was my first thought. After all this time I still haven't seen anyone else express the same idea. Weird. It seems so obvious to try and build it from the Batmobile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
