It's now retired but we managed to get it via John Lewis at the Trafford Centre. I'm being good and not touching it until my birthday.
Can. Not. Wait.
I've had my eye on it for years but couldn't justify it, then they bloody went and retired it and I was kicking myself that I'd missed my chance.

Looks brilliant that


I think one of the next releases will be a Jaws set which looks class. Basically you build the boat and the shark

It's hellish like. Best Christmas present since the 90s. :lol:

The attention to detail's amazing like, and way the re-purpose existing parts to design the build's so clever. Things like using a silver goblet to form the inside of the tail light. A little Technic plane aside it's the first proper set I've had since I was a kid, and probably the first thing ever with this level of detail. The build itself just really impressed me, and I loved every minute of it.
 
My daughter got the AT-AT (75288) for her birthday last week, not the new £700 one which looked unbelievable when I saw it at the Leicester Sq store. She finished it yesterday and is so chuffed with it, and is now saving for the Death Star.

If I can work out how to post pics, I’ll hoy up a few of her converted Kallax Unit which is displaying her Star Wars collection.

Also, Lego masters Australia is on each Sunday, they blow things up in the 2nd episode, and it’s fantastic viewing.

My mate has the AT-AT. It's an incredible build. The way the joints work are amazing.

I've nearly finished sorting out my home office. When I get my shelves up, Arkham Asylum will be rebuilt and put on display along with the Tumbler (small one!) and (when I've made it) the 1966 Lincoln Fortura Batmobile

I'm not keen on this new Batmobile. To be honest, I was never taken with the Tumbler either.*

I've had me eye on the 1989 one though. Even started bidding on one. Got out at about £150 - it was up to £320 last I checked. 😢



*Sure the builds will be class though. This was more a Batman peeve than a Lego one. :lol:

EDIT: Silly me assumed the Lincoln was the new 'un, not the Adam Westmobile. Class.

Thanks to other builds, I have a couple of Batmobile's that look like the 1989 one so I held off getting the big one. The Batwing is pretty cool, but you'd need the mount for it. Having it sat flat just won't look right.

The new Minifigure collection comes out soon. Wheelchair athlete and a bunch of other decent looking ones.
