To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic campy Batman TV series starring Adam West that premiered on January 12, 1966, today Lego has officially revealed a massive new 2,500-piece Batcave set that includes the retro Batmobile, Batcopter, and Batcycle.
Available starting in March for $270, set #76052—the Batman Classic TV Series Batcave—comes with 2,526 pieces to be exact, allowing you to build all the best parts of Wayne Manor.
From the secret entrance to the Batcave revealed by the red emergency Batphone and a button under the Shakespeare bust...
...to a pair of Batpoles ready to whisk Batman and Robin to all of their wonderful toys hidden underground. And while it might seem campy and over-the-top to you, your parents probably thought the classic 1960's Batmobile was the coolest thing on four wheels.
As for Lego Minifigs, there’s a smorgasbord of classic Batman characters included with this set.
Not only do you get Batman, Robin, and their alter egos Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, but Alfred tags along too (someone has to take care of Wayne Manor upstairs) as well as Catwoman, the Riddler, the Joker, and the Penguin.
Drive the villains out from Batman’s Batcave!
