LEGO 1989 Batmobile Press-Release

Today, the LEGO Group announces the arrival of a very exciting new set, the #76139 LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic film. The set will be available starting on Black Friday weekend. Below is the press-release, set description, pictures, and more. Enjoy!

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton’s iconic Batman movie with the incredible 1989 Batmobile launching on Black Friday. The Batmobile comes packed full of authentic features from the classic 1989 movie.

The 1989 Batmobile is built from over 3,300 pieces, measuring over 60cm long and sits on a rotating display plate. The sleek design makes this set a highly rewarding build that is perfect for displaying at home. This LEGO set includes three new-for-2019 minifigures: Batman with a new and unique cape, The Joker with a new face and torso decoration, and Vicki Vale featuring a brand new torso and legs.

The 1989 Batmobile comes with a new-for-2019 wraparound windshield element, and decorative grappling hooks on both sides of the vehicle. Place the Batman minifigure into the car by opening the slide-open cockpit before turning the car’s turbine exhaust to make the two machine guns hidden under the hood pop up. The Batmobile comes with detailed Bat emblems on the wheel trim, and a set of specially designed tires for the front wheels.

The 1989 Batmobile is launching as part of LEGO Black Friday event and those who purchase the set between the 29th of November and the 5th of December will receive an exclusive mini replica of the original model as a free gift available in limited quantities.

The 1989 Batmobile comes with a rotating display stand, with an attached information plate detailing the cars statistics for easy viewing and a brick built minifigure display stand for the three minifigures.

LEGO Lead User Lab Community Survey

As we discussed previously, Lead User Lab is a new initiative by LEGO to capture project and product ideas from the LEGO fan community, evaluate their potential, and bring them to life in new ways. Since the initial announcement back in June, the Lead User Lab team has been assembled, and they held their first interactive event with the LEGO fan community at the end of September. You can learn more about Lead User Lab and the progress made so far via the links at the end of this post.

A few days ago, the Lead User Lab team reached out to LEGO Ambassadors about a survey they would like members of the LEGO fan community to fill out. It explores the interest of the adult LEGO fan community in three areas; lights used for LEGO models and displays, customizing with stickers and prints, and LEGO jewelry. (Please note that this is just an exploration of these topics, and not an indication of specific future product offerings. Other areas will be explored in future surveys.)

I filled out the survey already, and found it quite interesting. For each category, there are questions about the type of products and solutions you’re familiar with, already using, and would like to see in the future. Completing the three sections of the survey takes about 10-15 minutes.

The Lead User Lab team is hoping that as many LEGO fans fill out the survey as possible, and share their valuable input and opinions. The more feedback, the better they can judge interest in these areas. So, if you have a few minutes, please fill out the survey, and you’re also welcome to share it through your own social media channels to the wider LEGO fan community. You can access the survey at the following link: LEGO LEAD USER LAB SURVEY
