It is amazon Japan who is now responsible for unveiling the LEGO DC Comics set 76240 Batmobile Tumbler (2049 pieces) by putting the product online in its catalog.

This new version of the Tumbler will take over from that of the set 76023 The Tumbler marketed in 2014 with some subtle changes to the design of the vehicle. The Tumbler is displayed here on a rotating stand flanked by a small presentation plate, it measures 45 cm long, 25 cm wide and 16 cm high. Batman and the Joker accompany the Tumbler in this new box, the two unseen minifigs are presented on a roof cornice identical to those already seen in the sets 76139 1989 Batmobile et 76161 1989 Bat Wing.

Marketing in principle planned for the month of November 2021.

Bonus: The set is already in pre-order at JB Spielwaren and the brand also offers the LEGO DC Comics set 76239 Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown: 

76240 BATMOBILE TUMBLER AT JB SPIELWAREN >>

Those who follow the news of the LEGO Shop already know: The set 76023 The Tumbler, released in August 2014, is definitely out of the LEGO catalog.

All those who planned to acquire it at the beginning of the year are at their expense: initially sold at the public price of 199.99 €, this set is now trading around 400 € at amazon et on eBay ou 250 € on Bricklink (from US sellers).

If you find one or more copies in a toy store near you, please let us know in the comments, I'm sure you'll be doing a few disappointed fans who were secretly hoping that this box would still be marketed a favor. in 2016.

Artifex has posted its review of the set LEGO DC Comics 76023 The Tumbler, and this video, which uses the usual stop-motion assembly technique perfectly mastered by the author, is also an opportunity to compare the official LEGO version with the MOC of the Tumbler with integrated Batpod marketed for several years by the one who is also a talented MOCeur.

The comparison between the two models, however, only makes sense from an aesthetic point of view, the LEGO version consists of more than 1800 parts where that of Artifex only includes less than 500 parts.

I'm not sure this review will convince you to spend more than $ 200 on set 76023 if you've already decided that the price of this box is too high for your budget or for what it has to offer. But it's always a pleasure to see a set assembled in a few minutes and in a fluid way, the design of which seems to be unanimous among fans.
