I ordered the 1989 Batwing a few days ago. Waiting for it to ship. In the mean time I finally caved and ordered the Batmobile. I’ve wanted it since release but talked myself out of it. With the release of the Batwing I just had to have time both. Just finished bag 7 and really enjoying the build. I’d post pictures but they don’t do this thing justice and is difficult because of all the black. The design of this set is awesome and it’s gonna be a very impressive model once done I can already tell.

Hi Metal Mech,

Congrats on (Bat)caving in to temptation and buying these sets. I just finished building a Batmobile but it is the Pursuit of Joker version (set 76119 not the 76139). It was still fun though.

Mrs Tyeth bought the set for me to occupy me during the lockdown. She also found a "DC Heroes Lego Batman" board game but unfortunately that was a bit disappointing

Yeah I wished I had caved when it first came out. Had it in my cart with the promotional smaller version. I took too long making up my mind and the promotional set sold out. Not that I needed it but for what it’s selling for would nice to have at this point in time. I did realized then it would be a rare promotion only set.

So far the build is pretty sweet. I’m on bag 17 of 24. This thing is massive but solid.

Still waiting for my batwing to ship out. I’m usually patient but in this day and age of “prime” 1 day/2day shipping I always find my self getting impatient when something takes a few days to leave. Not trait I am proud of.

Anyways I think the only thing that could be better then these two sets are if they made an animated version of the BatMobile. I wouldn’t even second guess that one.

I nearly soiled myself when I saw the Batmobile, and cursed....audibly...when I saw the Batwing.

You should get them they are great builds. Both of them are massive and very detailed.
I can’t post a any photos of the BatMobile. It’s hard to photograph well being all black and my light box isn’t big enough.  That and it’s currently sitting in a display case in a museum.

Still building the bat wing. It’s massive to in over all size. Not as bulky or as solid as the BatMobile. Some pain in the butt fiddly sections but over all worth the outcome. I usually build in bed watching tv before I sleep. Not a good idea with this one. It really needs a large flat surface to sit one while building.


Oh and for those that may not have seen it there is a large scale Ecto-1 coming out on the 15th. It’s based on the one from the new movie but still amazing.

I have a Imgur account. My problem is trying to photograph large, completely black, Lego models. That and I don’t have access currently to the BatMobile.

I understand completely about saving for a house. I used to own the UCS Falcon, the first one. Sold it to raise money for down payment on our house.
