Man, I can't keep re-visiting this thread! I didn't have the funds for something like this when it came out and JUUUSSSTTT missed the opportunity to snag one for cheap when BBTS was selling either lightly-damaged Batmobiles or old inventory a few years back. I emailed them shortly after and they said they had a few more left but they weren't sure when they would list it. I emailed them a few times over the years as to when they would find the time to list them and kept getting the run-around. I gave up.
Enjoy them guys! Maybe I'll get lucky and own one in the future!

Curious on how much people spent on this. I just checked my invoice from Amazon. January 2014. $672 shipped brand new on a small crate from Japan to Hawaii. So happy I got it during the time. Maybe Hot Toys will release a 2.0 for the ones who misses out.
Do you know approximately how many 89 Batmobiles were made?
Personally I bought mine in November 2013. First I ordered a first one in July 2013 to a retailer but a few weeks later, I was refund, the retailer explained me that he did not managed to get enough Batmobiles to honor my order. I was very disappointed... and everything was already sold out in PO.
In November only 2 popped up on eBay from an another French retailer that managed to get two more. I immediately ordered. 550 €. And no shipping because he was at 20 miles from me. Sounds a bargain nowadays...
The other extra Batmobile was sold in the same night.
It was pretty hard to get one in France. Always remember how I was shocked by the size of the box!!!
I don’t think a new release will be ever made. When Batman Returns came out, everyone thought a new version would be announced but they already put all the 89/92 features one the car. And now it seems evident that Hot Toys had completely abandoned this line. But if they ever do that, the car would be listed at 800-1000$ now...

I got mine a few months after release direct from Hong Kong & I?m so glad I did.
It?s definitely a grail piece I would never sell, anyone who sees it are blown away by it.
The vendor I bought from in Hong Kong said although hot toys never release numbers on any items there were 800 made and that was it.
They also said it was a very low profit item for them

Yeah it definitely would be over $1000. Isn't the iron studio's batmobile statue around $900 and there are no moving parts and its much smaller. I think the iron studio's batmobile is 1/10th scale.

That would of suck if you haven't scored one from ebay 20 miles away from you. This box is huge, you had a truck right? Imagine you showed up in a car lolDo you know approximately how many 89 Batmobiles were made?

Wow, I never knew bbts had it for that cheap. I did buy the tumbler from bbts for I think under $300, but spoiler was damaged and they did mention it. I believe a bunch was inspected and sold for cheap because of the defect.

True, I think If I missed out on the release, I most likely would pay $1k if Hot Toys released it again.
I've got 1!
