Lego 66 Batmobile compariison
For Father's Day, my daughter gifted me the new but incredibly hard-to-find Lego Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile, so I thought I would share some pics to show the differences between it and the Batmobile that came with the Classic TV Series Batcave from a few years back.
Overall, the new Batmobile is sleeker and the "Lego" aspect of it is a bit less obvious. It is missing a few of the details (Bat-turn lever, etc) that the original had, but it adds the parachute packs in the back, and the front is much more accurate. A glaring mistake on the original was only two exhaust pipes. This one comes with three, thankfully. You can build the front with shooters on the new one too, but I went the alternate, more show-accurate design. As you can see the new one is slightly shorter.

The Batman mini-fig is more noticeably different than the Joker. The new Batman has a paler skin tone, and the gray of hist tights are lighter. There are subtle print differences around the ribs, etc. The Joker would be hard to distinguish at first glance, but there is a line running down the back of the jacket on the new one. Sorry I didn't snap a picture of that. There are a few other minor details, and the two faces are a bit different on both Batman and Joker (you can turn the heads around for different expressions, like many Lego mini-figs.

Overall, I'm very happy to have this set. It was funny building it with my daughter, who is a HUGE Lego enthusiast and collector, and the differences between the two cars is enough for me to warrant buying this if it wasn't a gift. For $30, you can't go wrong!
