LEGO unveils totally awesome Batman ‘66 Batcave set

Batman fans are going to need some extra dough for this one. LEGO officially announced its mega set that recreates the classic Batcave and Wayne Manor from the 1966 Batman TV series.

The monster set includes 2,526 pieces, with nine minifigures. There’s Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman and Alfred. The set also includes the Batcopter, the Batmobile and the Batcycle.

The set itself is huge because it’s not just the Batcave. Oh no, that wouldn’t be enough for LEGO. The set includes Bruce Wayne’s study, with the Batpoles for Robin and Batman to slide down. In Bruce’s study, there’s even a Shakespeare bust, which unlocks bookcase so they have access to the poles, notes the press release posted at iO9.

Another section of the set is a two-floor room with the Batlab and Batcomputer. There is also a landing pad for the Batcopter and an entrance for the Batmobile.

To make sure that this is the only set you’ll ever need to recreate Batman ‘66 adventures, the villains also come with their own weapons and accessories.

LEGO didn’t announce the retail price for this, but it’s going to be expensive. The set is due out in March.
