Coming out on Sept 1st is The Tumbler, from Batman™ The Dark Knight Trilogy, in LEGO form featuring new front wheels plus new Batman™ and Joker minifigures available exclusively in this set.  Priced at $199.99, £159.99 in the UK, it features 1,869 pieces and we have it in hand now with some exclusive pictures and info (thanks to our friends at LEGO)…

This looks like an amazing build, it comes in a huge box (similar in size to the recent Sandcrawler) and features five  instructions manuals and 1,869 pieces spread over 18 bags (numbered 1 – 11 which corresponds to the number of steps to build The Tumbler, meaning some steps have multiple bags).

The first page of the first instruction manual gets you building the Joker minifigure and you have to wait till the last stage (11) on page 37 of the fifth manual to build the Batman minifigure.  The finished Tumbler measures over 5” (15cm) high, 15” (40cm) long and 9” (24cm) wide but I’ve got a way to go before I get to that!  My only real issue so far is the number of stickers, but apart from that I can’t wait to get stuck in!

You can pre-order the Tumbler now directly from LEGO and VIP members may get early access from the middle of August – happy building!

LEGO has unveiled the third SDCC Exclusive set, the LEGO Super Heroes: DC Comics San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile.

It is to be released in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the franchise, and is aiming to inspire nostalgia with its classic Cadillac grill and tailfins. Two minifigures will be included, Batman and Robin dressed in their ‘classic get-ups’.

76025 Green Lantern vs. Sinestro will be available to purchase from January 2015 for $19.95 USD. It includes three minifigures, Green Lantern, Sinestro and Space Batman.

Why so serious? Because Batman’s most intimidating Batmobile ever is getting the LEGO treatment.

A LEGO Tumbler, the Caped Crusader’s black armored vehicle of choice in Christopher Nolan’sDark Knight movie trilogy, will be on display at Comic-Con this week beginning Wednesday. Following the pop-culture convention, which runs through July 27, the Tumbler toy (1,869 pieces, $199) goes on sale at LEGO stores and shop.LEGO.com in September.

Measuring 15 inches tall and 9 inches wide, the LEGO Tumbler has an armored exterior, adjustable wings, a detailed interior (with a console screen that reads “INTIMIDATE”) and oversized rubber-tread tires. It also comes with a fact sheet about the vehicle from the movies.

If you’re into character mini-figures, the stars of the set are a Christian Bale-styled Batman and the Joker, the first time Heath Ledger’s The Dark Knight take on the villain has appeared in LEGO form.
