A new Lego Batman Tumbler Batmobile is rolling our way this October 1, and it recreates the Dark Knight's ride from Batman Begins in miniature form. But that's non the cool tur. Instead, and unlike other versions of the Lego Batmobile, this one's affordable. Very cheap. In fact, you can pre-order the kit for $39.99 at Amazon in the US or £34.99 on the official Lego UK store. Compared to the original set (which is acquiring a November re-release at a 'bare' $229.99 / £209.99), that may as well represent pocket switch.

Formally dubbed 'Scarer Face-of', the set features 422 pieces, a cabin that nates live opened, and two minifigures - Batman himself (of course) and Scarecrow. Because this kit is based on the Dismal Knight trilogy's first installation, you're also getting an secondary 'nightmare' head for Insane that's inspired by the scene where he goes all... oozy. Delightful.

While this revised Batmobile isn't as monstrous every bit the special collector's variation, information technology's still impressively detailed. Despite the frown damage, this doesn't look gimcrack or like a compromise; it's a picture show-sodding recreation of the vehicle that's straightaway recognizable. It even has little dashboards beside the driver's seat, a mini direction-wheel, accessories for both characters, and studs you can fire at any no-proficient criminals. Or, I dunno, your housemate.

However, that ISN't to say the bigger gatherer's version is bad. It isn't. It's an absolute fiend in size thanks to a ridiculous 2,049 pieces, and the intricacy of it is really something other - having seen it in person, I can substantiate that IT's freakin' awesome and is one of the best Lego sets for fans of the Dark Knight movies.

No matter which version you take your eye on, hopefully, these sets receive a discount during the upcoming Black Friday Lego deals. The cheaper Scarecrow Showdown version would beryllium a ideal gift prospect if it dropped in price this November, for example.
