Some time ago, I wrote about how you could build a scale model of The Terminator<\/a> (the point being it would ultimately end up costing you over \u00a31,000). That came hot on the heels of your opportunity to build a scale model of the Bismarck<\/a> (at an overall cost of over \u00a31,200). Before that, it was the Millennium Falcon<\/a> (for \u00a3900).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re at it again. Now, you can build a scale model of the Batmobile Tumbler<\/a> – which I admit I’ve never heard of, because Adam West was Batman, and not any of these modern upstarts. There is only one Batmobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s in instalments, of course, and it is advertised as \u00a31.99. But I knew that would only be the first issue, so naturally I costed it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 120 issues planned. Issue #1 costs \u00a31.99, issue #2 is \u00a36.99, and all subsequent issues \u00a310.99. So once your model is complete, you will have shelled out more than \u00a31,300. Optionally, you can pay another \u00a31.50 per issue and get a display case for it at the end (total \u00a3180). And they hint at ‘extra’ special issues, for which the ‘price varies’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And considering that the finished model alone is 56 x 35 x 19cm, and primarily made out of diecast parts, you’re going to need a big, empty, and strong table on which to display it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
