We suspected that LEGO would offer us an Arkham Asylum set following the presentation of the minifigs at the San Diego Comic Con in July and it has now been done with this 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout officially unveiled last night and which will be sold in January 2013 exclusively on the LEGO Shop and in official LEGO stores.
1619 pieces, 8 minifigs (Batman ™, Robin, The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Scarecrow and a Guard) and an advertised price of 159.99 € (159.99 $ in the USA). It's expensive, very expensive ...
After a few minutes of observation, I see once again that it is the minifigs that will make me invest in this set: A remake of the Penguin, Harley Quinzel, an updated Scarecrow and a Joker in prison outfit, that's fine with me.
For the rest, the building, or rather the facade, leaves me unmoved, but the prisoner transport van is quite nice.
It's a shame Mr. Freeze is absent despite the presence of a dedicated space for him, as the official press release indicates: " ...special Poison Ivy cell with transparent doors, the Mr. Freeze icy tower room , the Dr. Harleen Quinzel office and changing room... ".
The dimensions of the thing: 32 cm high, 34 cm wide and 14 cm deep for the building. The gate is 24cm wide and 12cm high.
