Review: LEGO DC Comics 76137 Batman vs. The Riddler Robbery

Today we take a quick look at the LEGO DC Comics set 76137 batman vs. The Riddler Robbery, a very small box stamped 4+ with its 59 pieces, its two minifigs and its recommended retail price set at € 9.99.

The set is thought to be assembled by the youngest fans of the Gotham City vigilante and the building challenge here is really very limited with a Batmobile a bit in mind. Mighty Pickups and a very basic cash dispenser.

The content of the set is rather balanced with two characters in opposition, a vehicle and enough to organize a real chase between the Riddler on his skateboard and Batman at the wheel of his machine. Even for 9.99 €, there is a lot of fun and it deserves to be highlighted.

The Batmobile is assembled very quickly and the base of the vehicle will allow the youngest to have a starting frame to create other machines. The principle is interesting even if I wonder who these children of five or six years old who are already fans of Batman and his rather dark universe really are ...

The instruction booklet is as usual suitable for very young LEGO fans with advanced simplification of the various assembly steps. By scanning the QR Code placed on the cover of the booklet, it is also possible to access an electronic version of these instructions. These are not interactive instructions, it is simply the PDF version of the booklet that is displayed in the LEGO Life app. Useful when the paper version has already finished cut out or crumpled in a corner.

No stickers to stick in this box, the logo placed on the front of the Batmobile is pad printed, like the screen of the cash dispenser. The latter can be removed from its location to simulate the explosion of the dynamite installed by the Riddler. Two 100 bills are provided.

As for the two minifigs delivered in this box, we note that the torso and the head of Batman are the elements already seen in a good dozen boxes marketed since 2012, that the cape without fold at the neck and with a single hole is a little rarer and that in addition to the two 4+ sets marketed this year, it has so far only appeared in the Juniors set 10753 The Joker Batcave Attack (2018)

The Riddler minifig delivered here is identical to the one already seen in the set 76120 Batwing and The Riddler Heist sold for 54.99 €, so here you have an opportunity to add it to your collection at a lower cost. The character comes with a skateboard that allows him to escape with his loot. The purple board is the one already seen in particular in the set LEGO Ideas 21103 Back to the Future Time Machine (2013) and in the set TMNT 79105 Baxter Robot Rampage (2013).

In short, this set intended for the youngest offers something to have a little fun for less than 10 € and we should not expect more. The ability to get the Riddler in a box cheaper than the one it also appears in is a real plus for collectors who don't care about the rest of the set content.
