The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. It may also be available from third-party sellers on Amazon and eBay. LEGO Technic 42155 BATMAN – THE BATCYCLE is currently available at most retailers and is priced at US $49.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £49.99. In this humble reviewer’s opinion, it doesn’t necessarily feel like it has enough “umph” to match the price point, but the price per piece suggests that it is a good value, especially if you simply want the parts. There’s not a ton to it, and in some ways it’s kind of “bare-bones”, but it does resemble the movie version and will likely make fans happy. Overall, this is a slick little bike that is sure to please those interested in motorcycles. The slack in the chain helps you get away with these components touching. Additionally, the motorcycle also has pretty good suspension.Īnd here you can see the kickstand being folded into its home. Although, the instructions do suggest that they are intended to be pulled off to expose things.Īs far as features go, the back wheel drives the pistons, which again, you can only see if you remove the blocks on the side. Additional parts of the engine now cover the entirety of the pistons. It’s mounted with a set of another type of spring, new in black. Next up is the front wheel, which very much resembles the real bike. The chain can be pinched if you press on the kickstand at all. It doesn’t greatly inhibit the movement, particularly with its smooth, rounded edges, but it just feels wrong. It does touch the chain, which is a little bothersome for the perfectionist in me. The underside is tidied up with a few more panels and the kickstand fits neatly into the frame. Now we really start to realize the model taking shape with the addition of the seat and fuel tank portion. Here you can see how the lower pistons of the engine block are completely covered and non-visible. We gussy both sides up with some additional piping. This is the first time we’ve seen a spring in all black, and this is the perfect opportunity for it. A second spring will be added to give the back some firm suspension. Then we add the chain (on seen in grey once before with the UCS Razor Crest) and a guard. This style of wheel hub, which was also seen in the Harley Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle, is new in black. The giant back tire is actually mounted on two wheels positioned side by side. Next up we fill out the body with beams and “piping”, as well as some ball-joint linkages for both stability and to fill out the shape. The kickstand and central bit of structure are helpful in keeping things upright and stable while we add pieces. Eventually the chain will wrap around it and transfer rotation (via bevel gears) to the engine pistons.Īt this point we add a little more structure along with the ever-important kickstand. The newer 12-tooth blue gear can be seen on the side. Next we add some structure, as well as decorative piping. The engine has four pistons, but as we’ll see in a moment, they’re pretty hidden. ![]()
