The February 2022 issue of the official LEGO Batman magazine is currently available on newsstands and it allows, as announced in the previous issue, to obtain a micro Batmobile which seems to me rather successful. In any case, it's always more interesting than yet another Batman figurine.

For those who are interested, I remind you that the instructions of the different mini-models delivered with this magazine are available in PDF format on the publisher's website. Simply enter the code on the back of the bag to obtain the file. The instructions for the Batmobile delivered with this number can therefore be found at this address, in case you want to save 6.50 € and assemble the vehicle with parts from your collection.

In the pages of this new issue of the magazine, the publisher reveals the product that will accompany the next issue to be published on April 15, 2022: it is... Batman, with a flying wing. Yippee.

Today we quickly go around another new polybag available since the beginning of the year: the reference 30455 Batmobile, with a vehicle inspired by the muscle car modified piloted by Batman in the film which will be released in theaters on March 2. The 68-piece bag also serves as a loss leader for the set 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase (29.99 €) also available since the beginning of 2022 with a slightly larger Batmobile in the box.

We are not going to make tons of it, this micro-Batmobile is struggling a little to convince. The lines are there, but the set remains very coarse and will only bring back a few memories to all those who, like me, had Majorette or Hot Wheels toys during their childhood. If we accept that this was the goal sought by LEGO, then this bag does the job rather well.

As with other polybags, the absence of a minifig to accompany the machine to be built significantly reduces the interest of the thing. A Batman figurine would have been welcome in this one, just to give a little punch to this product which is not in principle intended to be offered at LEGO and which is only available for sale at a few retailers.

In short, the packaging is attractive, the content is a little less so and there is nothing to get up at night. The most complete collectors of the LEGO DC Comics range will not be able to ignore this new reference, the others can save their pocket money to afford the more elaborate version of the vehicle available in the set. 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase.

If you want to assemble this Batmobile without going to checkout and using the parts from your bulk, know that the instructions are available for download at LEGO at this address (PDF, 1.06 MB).

This polybag is currently available for sale at JB Spielwaren (€ 3.99), at Brickshop when there is stock (3.99 €) and more expensive but in volume on Bricklink (from 4.99 €). I haven't seen it on the shelves of a French brand yet, it's up to you to tell me if you've come across it in your favorite toy store.

Note: The polybag presented here is as usual put into play. Deadline fixed at 16th February 2022 next at 23pm.

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.

LEGO is going there today with a small teasing sequence for a future product with this short video which asks in English who trapped / framed Batman by playing on the double meaning of the verb frame.

According to the latest rumors, this teaser is linked to the imminent announcement of a new reference in the LEGO ART range, the set 31205 DC Batman Collection. If LEGO uses the principle of several other references in the range including the set 31199 Marvel Studios Iron Man, it will probably be necessary to combine the inventory of several copies of the set to assemble an alternative mosaic featuring the vigilante of Gotham City.

It's January 1, 2022, and as of today, LEGO is launching a handful of new sets on its official online store. There is something for all budgets and for all fan profiles with new references in almost all of the ranges currently marketed by the manufacturer.

As usual, it's up to you to see whether to crack without waiting by paying the full price for these boxes or whether to show a little patience and wait for the inevitable reductions that will be offered in the boxes. weeks and months to come at Amazon, on FNAC.com and at a few other resellers. The debate does not arise for the exclusives, at least temporary, of the Shop with the Modular 2022 10297Boutique Hotel and the LEGO Ideas set 21331 Sonic The Hedghog - Green Hill Zone.

The December 2021 issue of the official LEGO Batman magazine is currently available on newsstands and, as announced in the previous issue, it allows you to obtain a rather common Batman minifigure equipped with two Batarangs. Not enough to rush to your favorite newsagent to spend € 6.50 there, unless you also collect the shiny bags.

More interesting, in the pages of this new number we discover the contents of the bag which will accompany the next magazine and it is about a Batmobile. It's always better than yet another generic minifigure and the vehicle seems rather successful given the compact format imposed. See you on newsstands on February 11, 2022 to get this new interpretation of Batman's racing car.
