The only reason I bought this set was for the minifigures. Really.Pros:A (?)tankish(?) vehicle, but the Tumbler is much better.Bane's motorcycle, the best part of this set.Nice explosives and things. Good nick-nacks to have.Standard Bat-WeaponsCons:Bat-Tank's cockpit is easily broken and hard to fix.No hinge, you have to remove glass to place in minifigure.You really, honestly call this a hideout in your right mind?Riddler's Jet Pack is horrible, twisting and turning all the time.Really not a very good set at all, unless you sprout money, or REALLY want the minifigs, just buy the Tumbler instead.
the real reason I got this set was not for the vehicle, but the two rare characters of bane and the blue batman. the set comes with a lot of accessories, my favorite being bane's dark green motorcycle. its pretty sad that lego considers a gate and two watchtowers a hideout, but at least the bat tank can be called a tank. however, I'm just tired of all the flick fire missiles that now dominate all the star wars and bat man sets.
the real reason I got this set was for the minifigures of bane and the blue batman. they are both rare and cool looking. the set comes with lots of accessories including(my favorite) banes dark green motorcycle. its really sad that lego considers this set a hideout, because all the hideout is, is a gate with two watchtowers. as for the bat tank, its a fun vehicle to use, but I'm so sick of the flick fire missiles that have now dominated star wars and batman sets
The Bat-Tank seems to be very much in the mold of the Batmobile from "The Dark Knight Returns" or "Batman Begins". This is one of my favourite Bat-vehicles because back in '07, this was the closest thing to the Tumbler. I got this at a TRU in Victoria back in August of '07 and I was NOT disappointed.Pros:Bane is exclusive to this setBat-Tank is larger than one would thinkMONEY!Bane's motorbike is neat$79.99 CAN seems reasonable for 645 piecesI like the chain gun and searchlight on the gateCons:WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE GIANT BASE IN THE PRELIMINARY?!
Alright I'll go into record by saying that NOW i have this set. Finally. If you can somehow get a hold of this, do because i got mine very NARROWLY. onto the review. This set in the batman line includes blue/Grey batman batman, Bane and the riddler. With that Bane is a set exclusive, another reason to purchase. The set is primarily made up of the tank, a moderate build with a clever mix of technic and brick. The set also includes a gate and a variety of accessories including guns, motorcycle and dynamite.Pros:-Big-plenty of accessories-Great mini figures-Cool vehicles-neat hideoutCons:-Hideout is more of a gate-motorcycle is, well odd-Tank can barely sit caped batman.Despite extremely MINOR flaws, the set is a truly fun build and a great addition to anyone's collection.Final Score: 8.0/10 (great)
