I received mine, yesterday. I love it, for the most part. It's well-constructed and would be difficult to tell from the original at a glance. I think FTC hit a home-run with this one and I really hope there are more playsets like this to come. There are two things that kind of bother me. The blue floor mat isn't vinyl like the original. It's glossy poster paper with the blue printed on one side. It is, literally, a rolled up paper poster. For the price, I do think FTC should have made sure that the mat was vinyl like the original. The other issue (and this is being nit-picky) is that the vintage "donor" playset that FTC used to scan the imagery, must have been water-damaged on the roof (the portion with the hole for the fire pole). Compared to the vintage ones I've seen online, the details and colors are very faded and runny... like they've been wet and color has pooled in some areas and disappeared in others. The top is the only panel that looks this way. The rest is beautiful and looks just like the vintage one, from what I can tell. Overall, it's a beautiful piece and I'm glad I picked it up.Comment

I remember fawning over this set in magazines as a kid. It was a bit before my time, and already too expensive for me as a kid. So I was super excited when this was offered. Love my set, but yeah, the floor mat is a bit of a bummer. It looks great on my table, though, and makes a great display. Can't wait for Scarecrow now!
Here's hoping for the holy grail of all Mego playsets, the Wayne Foundation...Comment

I was lucky enough to nab a Mega Batmobile about three years ago at a flea market for $5. Looks great coming out of the cave!Comment

I recall a local Pic N Save store having one lone Batcave on the shelves for quite some time in the late 70's, but I never got it, so this one is a most welcome addition. I do agree that the rolled up poster for the floor section was a very cheap substitute for the original vinyl piece, especially for the price tag here, but I never planned to use it anyway, so it's not a big thing to me (I have the front part set up perpendicular to the back section where I've got it, on a piece of foamboard covered in gray posterboard). Yes, it's a bunch of printed cardboard covered by vinyl with a plastic stick stuck in it, but dang if the FTC re-do Bat figures don't look great occupying it.Comment
