Batman 66 getting closer. Toys r us already listing batmobile and sale date

[Barnabas Collins]

Target.com is showing the Batmobile in stock at $49.99. It's the same stock photo as the Mattel version, but the listed dimensions are different. I went ahead and ordered it anyway (as it can be returned at any Target store, per the site). Add something else to your order to make it over $50 and you get free shipping. Sales tax applies.

measurementslisted as: 17.75" x Width 6.25" x Height 5.25"
that is bigger than the mego car.
is it designed for the 6 inch figures?
can you squeeze a mego in?

BK - you are right, though it would be nice to have saved 10 bucks on everything in life, it is nice to just be done.

me, i will probably get it eventually. right now, i just don't have 10 let alone 50 to set aside for it.

... They really don't look that Great Next to DCU Classics.

MC did his review of the figures. Surprisingly his typical enthusiasm for this scale did not influence his ratings much. He gave them pretty low grades on sculpt, paint apps, and basic design.

^^^ I'd never Buy Any Alfred, in and Shape or Scale,... Like Ever.
... But Seriously ...
Thus Far all Matty 66 Figures have been able to be had Via Pre-orders...

I didn't want the figure. Just the last piece for my Bat-signal that was included with him.

Well
I paid the 41.00 for the bbts batman and robin two Pk and that's because I live nowhere near a target or toys r us.
Now if I can get the batmobile for a non scalper price I am gonna do it otherwise "scalpers go to hell"
I am not paying your prices.

For those who want the Mattel line, I HOPE this does not turn into another endless search to find things. Another reason why I stray from their product lines. They make it so hard to get the products you want. It's as if they enjoy catering to the scalpers. For me, if there's new product you want, it should be easily obtainable between online and walkin stores. Mattel just makes you work too hard. A good example is that Alfred figure from the DKR series. I was NEVER able to get one while the movie was new. And I refuse to pay a scalper price to get it. So I just gave up and moved on. When my hobby becomes an exercise in frustration over obtaining something NEW, I reevaluate that product line and move on to something else. It's not worth the hassle with so many other folks wanting my collector dollar.

it says currently unavailable on line for target. hmmmm.

[starsky]

definitely hits california first more specifically the los angeles region.

[kerowack]

Target may be wrong because they keep saying its an exclusive. Maybe it's a short term exclusive?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Okay, I'm totally confused now. Info from Mattel's panels say the Batmobile is a TRU exclusive...so how is Target selling these?

Did anyone order one from Target? Have you gotten a shipping confirmation? Anyone seen these in either TRU or Target stores?

I want to place an order, but the conflicting news has me wondering if Target should even have these in their system.

i was actually wondering this because i know stuff hits cali first and hits NJ dead last, i think a big part of it is distribution on the stores parts where they dont order the right thing or alot of the time i know our walmarts and targets here have alot of stuff in their back rooms and it just sits there with noone putting it on shelves.

I havent seen any new star wars waves in forever.

That is Complete BS ...
If that were True..., I wouldn't have gotten all that crap from U over the yrs.

... some stuff does hit California 1st ..., but Not Washington.
I don't find stuff till months after its been on Ebay it seems sometimes.

[BlackKnight]

It would probably be much more than $60. That's why you most likely won't see one.

Thats the Problem with most collectors in this scale ..., Everyone wants something for 5 Bucks. ... It's a Shame. I'd pay much more for a Mego Size Batmobile.

[Barnabas Collins]

BTW, the Target store link for the Mattel Batmobile is puzzling. Info at the time of Toy Fair 2013 indicated that this Batmobile was a Toys R Us exclusive.
