About this deal

Joy Behar Calls On Will Smith To "Get In The Ring" With Jada Pinkett Smith On 'The View': "He Sits There And Takes It" It's obviously a better metric than 'eye-test', weight, or any other. It's a 'metric'. It's not a determinate. It helps to measure. That's it. It's useful. So, people will use it. Don't try to police the world. Let it goooooooooo....." Despite the minifigures' individual shortcomings, their accessories are adequate. The Penguin is equipped with his ever-present umbrella and a fish, Catwoman wields her whip and Max comes with a top hat and cane. Some more specialised items would have been welcome though, such as the Penguin's hypnotising umbrella. Alfred Pennyworth accompanies Bruce and more closely resembles the onscreen character, as played by Michael Gough. The light bluish grey hair element looks marvellous and I like the double-sided head, as both facial expressions appear rather reserved, as appropriate for Alfred. The round spectacles also correspond with the film. The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”. Today, the LEGO Group remains a family-owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide.

The Batcave Shadow Box has a dual function of existing as a standalone shadow box, with Batman’s cleverly cutout and framed using negative space, OR it can fold open to reveal Michael Keaton’s Batman Batcave. However, the furnished half of the Batcave is even more eye-catching and looks stunning. I like the balance between muted colours and splashes of light bluish grey or trans-yellow, recreating the atmosphere of the Batcave presented in Tim Burton's Batman films. The shallow design has entailed certain compromises though, where the layout is concerned.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'My Christmas Hero' on GAF, Where A Military Man Helps A Doctor Find Family History and Lasting Love Chris Evans' Dog Adorably Interrupts His Interview With 'The View': "He Needs To Be The Center Of Attention" I’d say that this set is a nice mashup of art, as it functions really well as a display piece, but what really causes it to stumble is the pricetag.

The box is divided into three sections and hinges around a narrow spine, similar to a book. I think this arrangement looks appealing on display, but it clearly occupies a larger space than the above configuration, so is less practical. FIrstly, I think this concept is really quite clever, and makes for a really large, and striking display piece, especially when enclosed. It’s also begging to be lit up with 3rd party LEGO lighting for maximum effect, if you can bathe it in yellow LED lights.

Likewise, the rubber cape Batman minifigure is nigh-on identical to the one we have had twice before and is just as at home in this Batcave. The other Batman minifigure, though, is a little more jarring to get used to. Whilst the dual-moulded headpiece is nicely realised and nowhere near as brash in real life as the artwork suggests, it’s not the right Batsuit for this Batcave, even if its inclusion is so the character can drive the included Batmobile. We get the reason for this guy being here and he feels like a bonus inclusion. Easy to ignore/rehome without detracting from the set. If they haven't that’s a very illegal build that stresses the parts way too much.

Tiffany Haddish Plans To "Get Help" After Her Most Recent DUI Arrest, Her Second In Less Than 2 Years: "This Will Never Happen Again" Given the dark environment of the Batcave, the shadow box format seems appropriate and this model certainly possesses a visual presence. The whole structure measures 51cm across, but is only 15cm deep, so is shallower than I expected. However, this is arguably beneficial, as the Batcave would fit comfortably on a shelf, rather than occupying a huge footprint and requiring a table.
