LEGOSuper Heroes Batwing Battle Over Gotham City 6863

arrived on time and fun to build

I purchased this for my nephew for Christmas. He is 5 years old so with help and supervision from his Dad, he had very little difficulty with it. I have not seen the product in person but my brother says it is on par with the Legos of our childhood...durable, bright, easy to use and definitely a delight to my nephew. He has graduated from Cars to Batman now so he was thrilled to have this as a starter piece to his impending collection.

This set features the "traditional-style" Batwing (not the Bat from "The Dark Knight Rises") and Joker helicopter, just as they appear in the Lego Batman 2 video game. The ladder on the helicopter is a whimsical reference to one of the final scenes from the 1989 "Batman" film, and the Joker-face "bomb" is hilarious. This is the only current set with the Joker goon, and the lower-cost and easier-to-find way to get the Joker, whose redesigned look is the ultimate payoff.

After a few years of acquiring a lot of Lego sets for my son, I was heartened to see the advent of something in addition to the usual "Star Wars" and "City" offerings. While my son will tear into any Lego and build away with focused abandon, he was excited to see the new superhero product line featuring Batman. I got this for him for his seventh birthday and he couldn't have been more thrilled when he peeled off the Lego wrapping paper (which I got from the Lego site). He had it all assembled within an hour or two. It comes with a Batman, a Joker, a Batplane, and a helicopter piloted by one of the Joker's henchmen. As with everything Lego, it was a bit pricey, but it was exactly what he wanted . . . along with the Batcave and the other two Batman sets (Batgirl, Two-Face Chase).

My 6YO son received this for Christmas and his eyes got huge when he tore off the wrapping paper. I love that this set combines both the super hero and the villian. It makes for very interesting play as I've noticed eavesdropping on my son :) Lots of tiny pieces & patience needed to put this set together but if you know anything about legos....it goes with the territory!

My six year old son loves everything LEGO, and like a lot of six year old boys is a huge fan of Batman and all other superheroes. This set is a great addition to his already vast LEGO collection. When you look at what you get, it seems expensive for a bunch of little pieces of molded plastic, but that's universal, no matter where you buy them.

My six year old put this together by himself. He loves Batman and anything lego. He was thrilled when the two came together. We will be buying more sets!Educational value...not your abc's but definitly fine motor skills, following directions, and the order of things.Durability...the lego wear REALLY well. The batwing as put together comes apart as to be expectedOverall...for what we wanted, it is perfect!!

It was just what he wanted, and he was willing to wait for it being shipped to him vs. paying a lot more for it at, ah hem, another store. :) He's 10 years old and it was just challenging enough for him to enjoy taking the time needed to put it together. Great purchase and he was really happy with it.
