Advantages: hours of fun and a real challenge, looks great on display

Disadvantages: Hefty price tag

I'm a huge Batman fan and was purchased this lego set as a present by a member of the family, whilst I did enjoy lego as a youngster I was quite conscience that those youthfull years had long gone!

To my suprise I had a great time building the Batmobile and was suprised both at how challenging and rewarding the whole execercise was. Based on the desgin of the vechicle in the 90's movies the set gave me hours of pleasure and actually took a considerable time to build (mostly trying to find one particular black piece in a box full of black lego). Within the box are two detailed manuals full of easy to comprehend instructions to ensure that everybody, even those new to lego, can complete it. Having said that if you are buying it for a young child of say under 10 then you should be prepared to put in some time helping them build it, in fact I built mine with my sceptical girlfiend but we had a great time doing it.

I saw one in a shop recently reduced to £40 which is a bargain for something that gave hours of pleasure and ultimatly looks great on a shelf in the house, I think £100 that its advertised on amazon is very steep and i'd advise you to look around before purchasing.

On a final note it has a number of moving parts including the wheels but i wouldn't recommend playing with it as its quite fragile and if a poece falls off it can be frustrating trying to find out where it came from, in that respect working backwards or retrospectively from the instructions is not easy!

Happy building!

Summary: Great product if you can pick it up for a good price
