Batman and Legos seem like a match made in heaven. And for a time it was, but for a company that much change and adapt with the interests of the children it wants to entertain the Batman meme was simply no longer a money making idea. With the discontinuation of the production of the Lego Batman building block sets that particular line of toys became an almost instant collector’s item. Collecting the Lego Batman building block sets has become the newest fad in the toy collecting world mainly because the toy sets are so hard to find, so suddenly.
With the popularity of the Lego Batman video game, it seems an odd time for Lego to make it so difficult for the average shopper but a perfect time for collectors to raid sites like EBay and other second hand online stores that will be collecting the Lego Batman building sets and making a pretty penny from collectors and parents alike.
Whether you’re looking for one particular figure like the Lego Batman with the removable cowl, or Joke and his funny tux, or even the smaller characters like The Penguin’s killer birds, there are ways to collect the Lego Batman building sets, you’re just going to have to look a bit harder. Collecting Lego Batman building sets like the Arkham Asylum kit can still be done, but don’t bother going straight to the source. Lego.com is a dead end but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other avenues to try.
You should be prepared to dish out a pretty penny if you’re after the ‘Lego Batman Hunt for Killer Croc’ kit, as it is one of the rarer sets out there, and anyone looking to add it to their collection will have to be prepared to pay well above the retail price.
Collecting Lego Batman building sets is not only fun for the toy collectors who wish to keep their sets locked in their boxes, but with the limited editions that are now currently out there, a parent who wants to impress their child with an original gift couldn’t go wrong with a Lego Batman building set.
