1/6 Batman 1989: Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics

[Hask]

I would prefer not to say, whilst im annoyed im not in the practice of naming and shaming

Space has been officially designated for this badboy. I've decided I will use the box to display it on top of and I'll put something over it to hide the inevitably banged up shipper. This will solve the issue of where in **** to store the box. I am 90% sure I've got enough space here. It'll be beside my computer desk so I can just turn my head to the right and see it in all its splendour.

Now please please let there be no major issues.

Can't frigging wait

I sent my Batmobile box off with the recycling. It was just too big to keep around.

Wow, good luck! I'm very curious to see how this story ends.

Thanks nocternus, i'll do that. Though onesixthbruce said he hopes to get them in. So its still a waiting game. Just for info, do you know how much roughly that would be (customs/tax) . I am thinking around $200?

It cost me GBP118 from Sideshow via Fedex

It cost me GBP118 from Sideshow via Fedex

That is actually very reasonable. If you don't mind me asking how much in £ did that cost you in total including shipping?

Sideshow are showing the price as $629.99 EUR €456.68. Just checked paypal and that is: 401.27 GBP (1 GBP = 1.57002 USD). When I put in $629.99. Not sure how much shipping to the UK is with sideshow.

£401+£118 (customs/tax) = £519 excluding shipping cost. hmmm Maybe worth getting it direct via sideshow.

Also on the sideshow website it says Limited Edition, does anyone know exactly how many are made?

customs tax is never reasonable!! but i know what you mean

Sideshow shipping is where most us got stung! To ship from Sideshow to UK cost a whopping $108

Unfortunately, being an impatient bastard like myself comes at a cost! if you want things right away, im afraid your gonna have to pay a bit extra...

i'll ask sideshow to mark it down as $10 in value and description sample toy

$108 for shipping that is £68.70

Adding that all up:

£401.27+£118+£68.70 = I'm / Broke / £587.97

welcome to my world!!!

Well if we are gonna be . We might as well

To make you feel better, check this out. I asked for a shipping price on ebay for the 1/6 batmobile and guess what they quoted me in dollars to the UK. This is excluding customs/tax...

Here is a picture to make you

that makes me feel better!

At the end of the day it only takes a certain collectible to make me feel that it was worth spending the extra £££ and this collectible was no exception. The 1/6 89 Batmobile is a real thing if beauty and to have it in my living room brings back all those cool memories as a teenager when I first saw the movie!

The way you've displayed the batmobile is epic

Your right those cool memories as a teenager are priceless. I'll see you in the mental institution when we get checked in a couple of years time

Though saying that I collect diecast road cars (ATeam Van / Knight Rider). If you look at the price of 1:8 diecast from Amalgam https://www.amalgamcollection.com/en/. They cost alot more than what this Batmobile costs.

Thanks buddy

Memories are sometimes what makes us decide we want a specific collectible, at least it does with me at times. As a kid watching these movies are minds get taken away with all the amazing special effects, super cars, super powers...we all wanted to experience it back then and now as adults we have the next best thing!

Those 1/8 cars are SICK! please dont get me into something else...i'll be homeless at this rate!

In was gonna suggest that folks can use the box to store loads of other box and save space that way but then I thought about the shield.

Though I guess for those of you that have the shield on display, this still works.

Even excluding the shield wouldn't the box have innards that would prevent storage of other boxes inside it?

I am sure one of the lads can tell us but from what I remember seeing there is some stuff but perhaps those things can be arranged to allow some other Hot Toys boxes to be put in there.

I think it would be madness throwing away the box!

Yeah, wouldn't throw away the box. You just never know. It may seem inconceivable now but one might have a need to sell this stuff somewhere down the line. I'm not planning for that but its not impossible.
