I'd rather pay $5 for a $1 Batmobile than wait a couple more months. And going to the store yourself costs money as well, so in the end you end up paying $5 anyway

I have been pretty lucky. I look every time I go to the shops so now all my neices and nephews have one, and we play with them.
Recently I was at KMart and I overheard this kid, about 3 with his Dad. His Dad had to keep saying no, that's too much, and the kid couldn't decide. I had a Batmobile in my hands, and turned to the kid and said I bet you would love this one. OH YES he says. I winked to the Dad and said consider yourself lucky these are hard to find and he said he hadn't seen one like that since he was a kid. Anyway, I turned back to searching and picked up three more...they must have just unpacked 'em...felt like good karma.
I picked up 4 in Toys R Us today. The first i`ve seen in the UK. One for me to open, one to keep along with all my other Batmobiles, one for my son, and the other? Not sure yet but sticking it on Ebay seems wrong - it`s hardly going to make me rich and scalpers get my thumbs down so it`s not right doing it myself.

What is the trick to splitting the body from the chassis, and what do you use to fix them back together again?
Or those needing more than one Batmobile

To separate the body from the base, just use a very small drill bit, 1/16 (not sure what size that is in metric) or so. Drill in the center of the rivet and the body just falls off. I use JB WELD to hold the body back on, some customizers go as far as get replacement rivets and rivet gun to re-attach.
Wow Paul that's a beauty!
If you look on ebay they are still only like a buck or 2.
Looking for DC Classics Collect and Connect Parts for Apache Chief, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd & Solomon Grundy

(Spare Parts: Apache Chief: Right Arm - Gorilla Grodd: Left Arm - Trigon: Right Leg - Solomon Grundy: Left leg )
I have combed numerous Walmart stores in our area and surrounding states and never found one on my own. Through the generosity of some online friends of mine from different forums, I was able to score 2 for myself and 3 additional Batmobiles for some other pals of mine. I am not a Hot Wheels collector either, but am a big Batman fan and those Batmobiles are just too sweet!!!!
I picked up four more Batmobiles at Wal-Mart today. If anyone's still in need of them, I'm letting them go for cost plus postage.
