After a slightly underwhelming first look that was small and blurry we now have official details of the 76052 Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave set. There are a huge collection of high-resolution photos below that show of the huge level of detail included in this set.
The set is surprisingly large with over 2500 pieces. There are also 9 minifigures based on the classic Batman series. The attention to detail is spot on with the Joker minifigure even spotting Cesar Romero’s signature mustache under his makeup.
It will be interesting to see the reception to a large set based on a TV series from the 60s.
76052 Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave will be available from LEGO online from March 1st 2016. There should be a VIP release in late February. Australian RRP is $399.99

$400 and it’s riddler- erm, riddled with stickers. >:(
Wish they’d just released the figures with the Batmobile, then I might have actually got to own it.
Holy Bat bummer, Batman!
It should have come out as three or four smaller sets (similar to Scooby Doo) rather than going Bam! Pow! to my bank balance.
Does anyone know when the VIP release is?
Possibly tomorrow
