Editorial Review

Holy penguin popsicle, Batman! Two of Batman’s most cold-hearted enemies, The Penguin and Mr. Freeze, have joined forces to stop the Dark Knight’s crime-fighting ways once and for all. What they seem to have forgotten (again and again) is that Batman is nothing if not well equipped. His secret base features a high-tech two-level control center with spiral staircase and storage locker for weapons, costume change chamber, dungeon, rocket and net launcher that actually fires, and, of course, the Batmobile and Batboat (as well as a dock and repair bay). The Penguin has a submarine, and Mr. Freeze is always prepared with his chilling weapons and special refrigeration suit. But really, do the aristocrat of crime and the cryogenically modified villain even have a chance against the good guy? Assembled correctly (no mean feat!), this fantastically elaborate Lego set, with its 1,075 pieces, will provide hours, days, weeks of enjoyment for Batman fans. The many working gadgets add an element of excitement to the kit, and will certainly lead to lots of creative re-enactments of one of the world’s most beloved superhero’s adventures. --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Cow Batman!, March 10, 2007

This review is from: LEGO Batman - The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion (Toy)

Other then getting a headache building the set with my son, its over 1000 pieces, I have no complaints. It has become the central focus of his super hero obsession and his bedroom. None of the components are difficult to build, and although the spiral staircase is cool its is a bit poorly designed because it often "collapses" with rough play. In addition while the rotating car pad is pretty neat, expect that one single lego in the middle to get broken the second a younger child trys to spin the platform by hand. But onto the good things; the detail is excellent from the computer screens to the joker bomb in the glass case. Mr. Freeze is just about the coolest lego man I have seen, you get a classic gray Batman, Robin, The Penguin, a penquin sub, a snowmobile for Robin, a larger snowmocar for Batman and a penguin sub. My only grip is there is nothing for Mr. Freeze to ride/drive but if your child is anything like mine that will be remedied in short order.

It would have been nice if they had labeled the bags like the Batmobile/Two-Face Chase set, 1000+ legos are difficult to sort through, but if you are prepared for that then this set is more than worth the price and your child will love it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent LEGO Set!, January 27, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: LEGO Batman - The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion (Toy)

The only LEGO Set I have that is better than this is the Johnny Thunder Dragon Fortress. This is a very fun set to play with. It has great functions and the characters are really good. It has two of my favorite villains (Penguin and Mr. Freeze) and some cool Good Guys. The only thing I was disappointed about was that it didn't come with Riddler (because he's my favorite villain). Otherwise this is a very good set and I highly recommend it. And after all, I can't be too disappointed about Riddler because he comes in the Arkham Asylum set.

This review is from: LEGO Batman - The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion (Toy)

My son saved for months to get this ever since he spotted it in his Lego magazine. As another reviewer indicated, it would be nice if they put all the pieces for a particular unit in a bag and labeled it as such. One ship/car/building/person spread out over 5 bags can get a little monotonous in a 1000+ piece set. Regardless, he joys in getting a new toy everyday (I'm pacing myself to a vehicle a day). Obviously components are not glued tight and with play will fall apart. Lego's can typically be better for 'looking at' rather than 'playing with'. My six and seven year olds' occasionally have problems connecting the pieces as well. I don't know if it is a hand/eye thing or strength issue, but it allows good father/son time to devote to a complex project.
