Thank-you for this!
As someone who grew up with 60's Batman, this set just shot to the top of my wanted list. So amazing!

Bought the Endor Imperial Shuttle and the Batman vs Superman showdown set yesterday.
Only started the Imp Shuttle so far but the instruction booklet had a typo/missing page or something at one point. It went straight from step 19 to 21, but on consecutive pages, meaning that even if 20 were in there then there would have to be a blank page or something as a buffer. It wasn't a huge deal, but I thought it was interesting.

Batcave looks great. I was hoping for some stickers or something that had sound effects on them. I would love a big brick that said, "POW!" on it to put near figures that were fighting.

That Batcave is way better than I expected. It was like "POW!" when I saw the pictures. Lego is going to hit it out of the ballpark with that set. Looks like quite a few figures will be included too. Definitely going to be a pricey set $160-$200 in my opinion.
I love how everyone went from hating Nexo Knights to loving Nexo Knights. Such a turnaround.
I'm definitely one of those people too. Haha
Oh. My. Goodness.
I am SO in. I was super excited about this set when I first heard about it and this massively exceeds my expectations. So cool.

Yep, am deferring my Bank purchase to save for this.
What's the word on that Mr Freeze minifig polybag to go with it?

Sold on Batman 60's Batcave!
It has everything I wanted EXCEPT I don't see Batgirl. HUUUGE Disappointment if no Batgirl.
EDIT: I will WHINE incredibly for weeks if Batgirl is a convention/show exclusive!

Just a rumour at this point, but we should get some solid info once LEGO reveals this officially.

Oh man, I had hopes for that Batman set and it's pretty much exactly what I wanted! I'm gonna buy the shit out of that thing!

Anybody ever successfully get a refund of their shipping costs from LEGO? I paid $52 for expedited shipping on a couple items and they sat in their warehouse for 3-4 days after the shipping email was sent before being picked up by FedEx. Now I have to wait another couple days for them to actually arrive.

Cancelling Brick Bank for the Batcave? When it's the perfect setting for a classic fight between Batman and the badguys?
Ha, woke up and had a good laugh at the Oculus thread and then click over and get first Batman shot.
WHAT A LOVELY DAY
Im guessing but when i squint i can make out sideways building climbing feature. More vehicles than i would like but damn if they dont all look good though. And the cutaway manor was unexpected. Looks like i have a date for valentines day.

That's the funny thing for me, I don't like 60s Batman at all. But they've pulled it off so well that I can't help but admire the job they've done there.
Read your post this morning. Ordered from Amazon at 7:30am. It just got delivered at 7:30pm. Free delivery too. crazy. Nice hardback book.
But you don't get all the 60's Batman Batcave pieces that way.

Well well well... what do we have here then? 60s Batman Cave...
I am disappointed as well as excited about this set from that one pic so far:
- Love the figs from what we can tell so far, dat Commissioner Gordon, but mostly DAT CESAR ROMERO JOKER/aka secret best Joker!! He looks amazing from what little i can tell here, hopefully the final fig will live up to it!
- Great looking Batmobile, not a fan of helicopters so this Batcopter does not impress me all that much but that's ok.
- What an amazing looking room, and is that... oldschool wallpaper there? The globe etc. (wasn't that in Town Hall as well?) loving the general look as well as that outside on the rear!!!
- ... which brings me to the do not like part of this thing: I somehow do not like the REST of the set, you know the actual set? What is that huge brown WALL supposed to represent? Just a lot of empty space and only semi-decent looking cave/wall structure there. So far i don't dig this part, but hopefully as we will see clearer pictures and all, i will warm up to it.
Overall though this is probably a must buy based on the figs and the Batmobile alone

Just guessing but I think that brown wall just shows that the cave is well below the mansion, and also hides the two poles that are visible at the bottom, which probably connect to the room via a trap door.
Oh nm, the poles are behind the bookcase, just like this show:

This set is looking very nice. I'm not going to get it though but look forward to reading instructions and copying techniques.

Oh... After the Ghotbuster's Firehouse I might have to sit this one out. :/
Still in, was expecting about $200. Lego hobby isnt cheap. I was saving money this month and not jumping into Nexo Knights and all new sets planning to get GB HQ next month. Just going to change plans a little and get this instead.

Is something special going on that year. Thinking about it isn't this year the 50th yr anniversary?
What else could they do in terms of sets? I guess one of the classic traps they were in, Commisioner Gordon's office, and Batgirl.
Catwoman looks purr-fect! At least from the blurry image.
You mean killing our bank accounts! Seriously rethinking my spending strategy. Multiple $300 sets are gonna push other things off my list.

Yikes. Way too pricey.
