LEGO 76161 - 1989 Batman Batwing - Ultimate Collector Series

Product Information

The assembly process is undoubtedly enjoyable but seems rudimentary when compared with 76139 1989 Batmobile. On a more serious note, contrary to some I highly appreciate the mentioning of whether those hideous odd coloured parts are visible on the finished set or not.

I haven't seen any photographic proof (and I haven't broken the seals on either my UCS or GWP Batmobiles to try it out), but I suspect that Batman minifig isn't really capable of fitting in the smaller Batmobile. I am disappointed that the scissors/clamp that is used to remove the balloons from the parade are not present in this model, but I am otherwise very happy with the way the final product looks. Despite their apparent simplicity, these curved slopes are connected using an unusual combination of clips, bars and two rubber bands to ensure that the elegant shaping remains intact.The two head sizes on the 40 pound hooks look like they may be too thick between the head and flange, so the hanger element would just perch on top rather than dropping down over the head as intended. These then attach to the base of the plane, and essentially form the sole texturing on the base the bricks with studs on the side plug nicely into the plates on the base. This spectacular vehicle has maintained impressive popularity and provided inspiration for many subsequent designs. He is essentially the same figure that appeared in last year’s 76139: 1989 Batmobile, as is the display rack for the figures.

Burton’s Batman certainly drew on that darkness, but we were a little concerned about Michael Keaton in the role. Finally, we have the Joker in a mime costume: This is the outfit he was wearing when he completed his takeover of the Gotham City Crimial syndicates.Yes, it's an entirely valid complaint when colorful internals aren't covered up properly and are visible from outside, but LEGO has always designed sets this way, it's intentional, it's nothing new, and it only serves to enhance the building experience not just for inexperienced builders, but even perhaps for experienced builders who are easily overwhelmed by huge sets such as this.

wedge slopes cannot recreate that shape perfectly which is disappointing, although limited alternative solutions are available. This structure is slightly more substantial than others, incorporating tiles along either flank which generate brilliant brickwork texture. Probably what happens is a few years after you finish a job, someone complains to maintenance about a picture falling down, and they mutter under their breath while fixing it. This metallic silver design corresponds with the classic symbol from the 1989 Batman movie, although no engine detailing is hidden beneath this cover. But overall I love it hope the next UCS vehicle is the penguin's Duckmobile, or Mr freezes Car from their respective movies!

A slightly tilted one that's been converted to a lamp is hanging here for six months, we ripped it off the wall, we threw it on the floor to see what happens in the unlikley scenario when it falls off the wall. But in terms of the actual Batwing design, we never see any evidence of flaps, ailerons, rudders, elevators, or any other means of controlling the plane besides basic thrust. We are getting a vague idea of the general shape, but of course, we dont have any feeling for the actual curves yet. Bag three consists mainly of bricks, and plates: the bricks fill up the spaces inside the frames and add to the strength and weight. I spent a couple years working general maintenance where I had to figure out how to correct a lot of really bad, sometimes professional decisions.
