The LEGO Batman Movie vehicles

Once again, the little world of LEGO is racing for not much: The image above, uploaded by Collider and presented by some as exclusive / unpublished has served in recent days to fuel all the rumors. I have received so many emails about this, that I think it is useful to clarify a few things.

This capture is not unprecedented and even less exclusive, the scene is present in the trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie presented at the last San Diego Comic Con (below). There is also absolutely no certainty that all of the vehicles present end up in sets based on the film.

For information, some of these vehicles were designed by Brent Waller, Australian MOCeur known in particular for his LEGO Ideas project of the Ecto-1 from the movie Ghosbutsters, which became a set marketed under the reference 21108 Ghostbusters.

He confirms that the production has ordered many virtual creations from him to integrate them into The LEGO Batman Movie but adds that he has no idea what will actually be retained in the final version of the film.

To know which of these vehicles will eventually end up on the shelves of toy stores, we will have to wait a little longer ...

LEGO Marvel Doctor Strange

Since the only set based on the film, the reference 76060 Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum (36.99 €), has already been on the market for a long time, let's pretend that the above poster uploaded by LEGO on the occasion of the film's release was an event that deserves to be mentioned.

I repeat this every time the manufacturer uploads a LEGO-style interpretation of a movie poster, I would love to see more of these posters printed on nice paper and given to fans.

If you hear of any promotional operation where LEGO is distributing this poster, please mention it in the comments. Otherwise, manage to have it printed from the file available on my flickr gallery.
