Those minifigures are not sufficient justification for a £160 pricetag. Anyone got any news.Same problem here.
Especially missing the ejectable pod / Batbike is almost unforgivable, in my opinion. Doesn't change much! Still 'need' to grab an Exo-suit and some others. I am hoping to purchase this on Monday. No die-cast model ever comes without steerable wheels: you just need to be able to hold a pose.Huw, could you take a picture of it compared with the UCS batmobile rebuilt into the alternate tumbler model.^^ What, spend a couple of hours disassembling and reassembling it just for one picture? I like Batman but is not a definite purchase as of now Well I don't have a lot to add I think Huw covered the Pros and Cons really well. However, considering the result and the size of the set, it fails to really impress me. Was sure I was going to get this, no not so sure... Will wait to see what it looks like in the flesh (or plastic)!^ The back tyres have a tread much like those in the video but as you say, they are much squarer.If it didn't come with Mini-Figures I'd probably skip it, as it is, the set still intrigues me. :(I specifically skipped on part 2 so as not to spoil the build for myself. Still can't order it yet, I take that we have to wait for the " America Monday ". I was super excited about this model, but I have to say I'm a bit less so now. Artifex obviously comes to mind...The biggest con for me is the price, for what it is. No 'play' features in a set this size seems like a waste to me. 7888 The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise is a Batman themed set released in 2008 loosely based upon a sequence in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight film, due to the Tumbler chasing Joker's truck. Also The Sly Fox, fantabulous is my word... -_-Even if it's a display model skipping steering is unacceptable.

We'll remind you on the day.Thanks for the great review Huw, particularly the pic of the Tumbler with the minifigure to see the scale. In my opinion it's the hardest one to reproduce in the entire LEGO Star Wars theme.If you have LEGO news, new images or something else to tell us about, send us a message. Just me really.Huw,can you make a post comparing the size and the overall shape of this UCS tumbler with the first tumbler (set 7888)just to see the difference(s) between the 2 versions? Thanks for making this an easy pass for me.I still can't understand the obsession with minifigures among AFOL. The building experience was excellent and it will take pride of place in my display cabinet. Lots of recycling I suppose. Thanks for the great review Huw, particularly the pic of the Tumbler with the minifigure to see the scale. The model is about 45cm long x 23cm wide x 13cm high.So, how does it compare with the 'real' Tumbler?

I built a MOC tumbler a few months back and while the detail is not as good as this one (those angles they've got are amazing) I managed to include front and rear suspension and steering. I don't tend to play with my models once built so the fact there's nothing to actually play with doesn't worry me. May I ask which camera you use? Classic LEGO Batman Tumbler Joker's Ice Cream Surprise Set … ^Name one $200 "standard" set. Looks like a fun build. Are there really people out there who will be swayed in their decision to shell out £160 on a set by the inclusion of two minifigs?!? I find it weird that people are griping over minifigs and playability, when surely a set like this (which let's face it is aimed fairly squarely at the adult market) is all about looks, design and functionality? Classic LEGO Batman Tumbler Joker's Ice Cream Surprise Set 7888 Review by BrickQueen. I'm also surprised by the choice of the rear tyres. And the playability you ask isn't what most UCS collectors are looking for. If it was £100 I'd be very tempted but there are too many other sets out there that I'd like to get and mean more to me personally (SW and LOTR related). But the camera is not as important as the lighting. Only real con for me is that it has stickers at all... For the price, TLG should really get to the point of printed only bricks.... otherwise, I'm geekin' out over here.Thanks for the review Huw! Estimated delivery date is "as from September 1st"...It's Monday in Europe and I could pre-order it on the Swiss S I can't wait when LEGO release new UCS Star Wars Snowspeeder. The worst about this tumbler: the way you open the cockpit. !This'll look great next to my 7888. The photo answers my question about what the grey light-sabre blades on the side are: they appear to be hydraulic pistons.It's worth watching the video to gain an appreciation of how well other details of the vehicle have been captured.My photography studio setup isn't really big enough to be able to take photos of the two models together, other than top-down.
