STUDZ Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ah, Comic Con, the Mecca pilgrimage of many a nerd. I've yet to go myself, but for the last few years, LEGO has been announcing new sets from here. Notable sets would include the DeLorean Time Machine, a bunch of Star Wars sets, and a handful of small exclusive-to-Comic-Con models and minifigures which can go for top dollar on the aftermarket. But yesterday, we got a first OFFICIAL look at a set that's been rumored for ages: The UCS Batman Tumbler. Yes, this sucker will have 1869 pieces, making it $200 USD while it's available in retail. The model features a fact sheet on the "real" vehicle, detailed interior, and... The Minifigs. We'll be getting a Batman minifig based more on Christian Bale's Batman, and an honest-to-God minifig incarnation of Heath Ledger's Joker. And it's about bloody time, too. The set will be ready for sale by September, and demand will likely be huge. Probably just for the Joker alone, but that's just my opinion.

le717 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I hated this enough: Now we get a minifig based on the movie which that machine as also based on? no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi299 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 minifig incarnation of Heath Ledger's Joker. And it's about bloody time, too. Agreed. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hooray, McStudz finally beat jamesster to the news! That stats & information sheet reminds me of the Collector's X-Wing... hopefully it won't fall apart like the X-Wing's info did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it apparently matters to some people (?): [7/20/2014 6:30:56 PM] jamesster: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2014/07/20/lego-dark-knight-tumbler-toy-exclusive/12909645/ [7/20/2014 6:31:13 PM] jamesster: I've got a lot going on today, mind posting it or something? I've been wondering if/when this would happen - both the set and the Dark Knight Joker. I'm not enough of a DC fan to want to buy it but it looks quite nice.
