If you missed out on The LEGO Batman Movie Mini Batmobile building event at Barnes & Noble yesterday, a reader has kindly sent over a copy of the instructions. This Batmobile is different from the one from Toys R Us as it more resembles the Speedwagon. It doesn’t look like there are any exclusive parts used for the build so you can create your own if you have them. If you want, you can download the whole PDF here.
Thanks to Tim for the instructions.




Amazon currently has a pretty good deals for some The LEGO Batman Movie sets that are 25% off the retail price. First is The Batmobile (70905) which is at $44.96. This makes the set a good $0.08/piece ratio and you get four large wheels as well. You can take a look at my review of the set here.
The other set that has good deal is the Batcave Break-In (70909) which is at $74.96. With the sale, the set is at a great $0.07/piece with a lot of exclusive minifigures including three Batsuit variants. You can take a look at my review here.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon by ck80 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is a very detailed build of the vehicle and the size is the same as other LEGO Creator vehicle sets like the VW Camper Van, Beetles, and BMW Mini.
The project now joins The Blues Mobile, SEGA Classic Arcade Machines, Dungeon Master, Red Arrows Hawk, and Venetian Houses as the projects to reach the First 2017 Review Stage.

LEGO has revealed the new LEGO Speed Champions McLaren 720S (75880) over on their Facebook Page. There isn’t much information on it but it does say that it will be available in June. I’m assuming that it will be the same size and the $14.99 price point as the individual Speed Champions vehicles.
Update: DriveTribe has more images of the McLaren 720S. The set will also include a McLaren designer instead of a driver and his design office desk.
