A few days ago, The LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) was announced and it was stated that it was able to separate into four different vehicles including the Batmobile, Batwing, Bat-Tank, and Batcycle but there were no images of that.
Earlier today, there’s an image that showed up on Reddit which shows The Ultimate Batmobile separated into the four vehicles. The post doesn’t give the source but it’s from a book which I assume is from the upcoming The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie.
The set will be released on June 1 and will retail for $129.99. It contain eight minifigures including Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Polka-Dot Man, Alfred Pennyworth (in Batsuit), Wicked Witch of the West, and two Flying Monkeys. What do you guys think of the set now that you’ve seen it separated?

It’s my photo- I posted it in the Brickset forum which is where Reddit nicked it from 😉
The Making of book has just been released.
This is really awesome!
I didnt know that “SOME” US shop called Target is responsible for 20+ worldwide LEGO sales..
TARGET??! who the hell is that? IN Europe??? – Even Tesco has 10x more presence that this “obscure” chain ..
The US is a big country. Lots of space for lots or Target stores, while there is no Tesco.
Huh? What does this article have to do with Target?
Also, it seems a lot of people in Europe have no sense of scale when it comes to the US, thinking that just because it fills a map page about the same amount as their own homeland means they’re roughly the same size. One of the more interesting examples I figured out a while ago is that if the UK (excluding the Commonwealth) were to decide to set aside as much land for national parks and monuments as the US has, they’d have to kick everyone out of the country and buy some more land. Our second largest national park alone is slightly larger than the entirety of Belgium.
So, consider how big a store chain you’d have if the EU resulted in WWII-era Western Europe becoming a single nation under one government, and if a couple of companies operated across that entire country. That’s Target, Walmart, and Toys”R”Us. Chains like Meijer and Fred Meyer are probably closer to Tesco in terms of size, and they really only operate across small clumps of states surrounding their points of origin.
Now, once you get outside of the US, those same chains can have significantly different presence, like how Target in Canada pretty much folded a couple years after moving in.
But again, I’m curious why you’re going on about Target in an article that (after reading it three times!) doesn’t appear to have a single reference to them. Did you perhaps mean to post this in the article about the Batgirl polybag being a Target exclusive? If so, I know that at least one or two of the previous Target/DVD exclusive minifigs and/or sets have been made available in other countries besides the US. Target got those exclusives for the US market only, while other companies had them in other countries. So, if you remember any promo in your area for Bilbo in his patchwork house robes, the Legolas archery polybag, or Bard and his son from Laketown, those were all Target exclusives with releases of the three Hobbit films, and you can probably expect to see the Batgirl promo run at the same chain that got those Hobbit promos.
Will be getting this for the flying monkey figures! Still holding out hope that an actual Oz set with Dorothy and the main characters will be released sometime.
not from the making of book, went through that last week at a book store that already had them out
