![]() Anything said in this post is the opinion of the author and not The LEGO Group.In Nov. Jared Disclaimer: This LEGO set was kindly provided for review by The LEGO Group. I recommend this set, you will not be disappointed with the experience or final model. After all almost all other LEGO sets aren't as good as 76139-1. But its status as ' not-as-good-as-76139-1' in no way makes this a bad set. You could also argue the Batwing is a significantly harder vehicle to replicate. It's unfair to demand that level of ingenuity and build experience from the Batwing. Sometimes a set is so good it sets itself apart from others and forever will. Sure, this isn't as good as the Batmobile, and lacks some of the 'playability' but neither are play sets. Some of the issues I read about I didn't seem to hit (the curved edges being loose was a big concern of mine going in), and some of the obvious issues (the wing flaps) are just something that doesn't really bother me. Six months was too long for me to ignore the reviews so I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that after building the set I didn't seem to have the same negative opinion as some other reviewers. But due to the supply issues at LEGO it's taken me some time to get this set. I usually avoid reading reviews of sets I intend to review myself. The model is also surprisingly strong, it's actually very swooshable with the weight being the biggest hindrance, not it's delicate-ness. I haven't hung it yet as i didn't have the needed hardware in time but I actually love how it looks on the stand so I may never get round to mounting it. The final model looks great, especially paired with the Batmobile. It wasn't a simple build, took me around 10-12 hours total but I did take my time with this one. It was definitely a unique build experience. With all that negativity out of the way let's move on to my final impressions. ![]() Maybe we should've got a Michael Keaton Bruce Wayne instead this time. Obviously this is only annoying for those with the Batmobile, but those with the Batmobile are probably the ones most likely to get this set. If they didn't want the expense of a new cape part I get that, but we couldn't have got at least a different head print? Anything to offer me something new. Why, in all that is Holy Batman, did we not get a new Batman minifigure. This is my biggest criticism, the unforgivable one.I honestly don't even notice them on the complete model. Yes I wish we had a better windscreen, but that doesn't mean I don't necessarily like the one we have, and MOC builds will appreciate the more generic parts used. ![]()
