LEGO DC Batman 1989 Batmobile 76139 Building Kit (3,306 Pieces)

Very cool, and was bigger than I thought

Fast shipping and item as described!

Excellent attention to detail, hours of fun building. Pair it with the Batwing!

Before you buy this, just know it's big. It's a little bit longer than an IKEA Billy bookcase is wide, so don't go thinking you're going to display it there.The details captured by its enormous size are remarkable. That Batmobile is nothing but curves, and through a really creative use of pieces and several building techniques that dance right on the cusp of being illegal, so is this Lego set.The downside of it being such a large set is that, at roughly double minifig scale, the three included minifigs can't ride in it. Well, they can, but they're so much smaller than the seat, they look ridiculous. Batman can't even do that much. His cape, gloriously billowing, prevents him from doing anything but striking a heroic pose.Total build time was about 10 enjoyable hours, spread out over three days, 24 numbered bags, and 619 total steps. Most of the decorated pieces use stickers, though 7 have designs pre-printed on them. You'll wind up with a working steering system, machine guns that raise/lower using the rear jet turbine, and a sliding cockpit canopy. The instruction book might have benefitted from being spiral-bound, and suffers from a lack of contrast between black, dark gray, and brown pieces. Unless you're working under really bright lights, you're going to grab the wrong color piece a few times, and then have to backtrack later. Just accept it as part of the process. It's worth it.

The seller sent this in a timely manner and the set is in excellent condition! Even better then some packages I have received from, LEGO.

First of all, the 1989 Batmobile is the most iconic, sleek, and intimidating vehicle in the entire franchise. This set recreates that machine in precise detail from nose to tail. The scale of this LEGO set is impressive, but if you wanted Batman to drive it your minifig is woefully small for these seats. Sorry not sorry.

I’m a senior and I loved doing models as a kid. Covid is keeping me indoors and isolated for health reasons. I rediscovered model building. My five grandsons all loved, and the three youngest still love building LEGO so a few months ago I started giving it a try. I’ve done the London double decker bus, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle,the Bugatti Chiron and now the Batmobile. This is by far the most challenging. I was in over 300 steps and realized something was off by one dimple on one side. The lesson learned was to make sure to be precise, and follow the directions exactly. I needed to deconstruct all the way back to the chassis base and start over again from step 30. I found where I had errored at step 107. I spent 20 days (about 4 to 6 hrs a day) on this. Great fun and I can’t wait to see the six year old and ten year olds faces when I present the completed model to them on Hanukkah.

Excellent condition, excellent product, happy customer.
