I decided to go back to the part list (I had from a 'wanted list' from the online Unofficial Lego Marketplace) and from it rebuild my version of Tumbler from memory. I don't think it lives up to the Tumbler name because: - Front wheels (central axle instead of the Tumbler's trademarked dual sided axle) - Back wheels (2 wheels instead of the 4)(might overlook this if the front was accurate) Even though I have my problems with the set, I've bought it. The 'Bat' is great ( I would only change the blue color parts with black and the red and yellow with grey) and it came with a 'Tumbler' or as I see it a 'Missile Launcher Armored Buggy'. I became very angry and bitter Lego wise because of the sense of loss and I completely 'forgot' Lego's for a while. I thoroughly backup everything important, but for some reason I neglected a project that took a year, of my very scarce free time, to develop. The very next day I lost everything I had on my hard drive. So I went to an online Unofficial Lego Marketplace, I don't know if I can write the name here so I am not going to risk it, and added all the parts from the LDD parts list to an 'wanted list', but didn't order it because I thought I should add the camouflage parts in the next day so I could have black and camouflage versions. Happy enough to order the parts to build it. So I imposed myself the following restraints: - Seat Batman with his cowl and mask - Seat 2 minifigures - The frontal windscreen should retract to the back - Sturdy enough to withstand collisions (I can throw mine off a table without losing parts) - Assemble a decent Batpod using nothing but parts from the Tumbler On my 16th version I finally had a version I was happy with. From the start of this project I decided I wanted to be able to recreate the The Dark Knight Trilogy iconic Tumbler scenes, such as Batman trying to save Rachel Dawes, taking her to Alfred for the Scarecrow's scare gas antidote. wow! I mean WOW!!! I started building on it slowly, on and off for a year, trying to get a Tumbler that retained the 7888 feel but in a more compact size. By chance I came across Lego Digital Designer and, well. My parents still had my old parts stored somewhere, but my parts were very, very, VERY dated. The problem was I hadn't build Lego's for 15years. I remember thinking how cool would it be if I could try to build something as awesome as it, but smaller. Bane: Tumbler Chase When 7888 came out I really liked it, although I had a few issues with its size and scale, specially if you compare it with the Joker truck it came with. LEGO® has recreated the Tumbler in 2 separate sets: - 7888 The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise - 76001 The Bat vs. well, in the words of 2005 Batman Begins Jim Gordon "I gotta get me one of those". ![]() When Batman Begins came out in 2005 the new Batmobile, the Tumbler, felt real, felt awesome, and I couldn't fit it in any of the categories I had put the other ones, because. For me all of them, the good ones and the bad ones, had a La La Land fantasy feel to them. All the Batmobile in those movies had fallen on my book as either in the 'ridiculous' category or the 'cool' category. Especially since there are so many other fun, LEGO Batman sets available to pre-order.I wasn't a huge Batman aficionado but I had seen all the movies up until 2005. But I’d very much enjoy being the billionaire Bruce Wayne. However, with a price tag of $229.99, I need to amend my original statement. The Batmobile Tumbler is available to pre-order now. ![]() We expect many fans will make sure to keep a spot on their shelves. But each holds a special place in the Dark Knight’s history. And Bale’s Batman drove the world’s most impressive-looking tank. Keaton’s Batman drove a sleek, stylish car. And in 2019, the company announced one based on Tim Burton’s 1989 film starring Michael Keaton. Past sets include one based on the car Adam West drove on his Batman TV series. With a sturdy base to display the finished model at its best, your recreation of the Tumbler will provide pleasure long after the hands-on work has been completed. Batman and The Joker™ minifigures are included with a stand. The impressive build-and-display Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy of Batman movies features an opening roof, which provides access to the driver and passenger seats and control panel.
