LEGO must be pretty special because I can’t think of any other manufacturer has both Marvel AND DC superheroes on their roster. Batman LEGO is of course nothing new, this is the latest set in a series that has been about for a few years now and the Jokerland set effectively replaces the Funhouse Escape Set.
Jokerland is one of the premium sets, retailing for £89.99, and containing six standalone pieces, including a funky Batmobil, rather than one monolithic build. In some instances this works well, in others it doesn’t but we were pleased to find out that in this case it worked really well.
I like LEGO minifigures and this contains a lot of fairly coveted ones- I think the big one left for the collection is the Flash.
The set is rated for 8-14 year olds and contains over 1,000 pieces. It took the boy (8) pretty much all morning to build it. The Joker’s Ride is the biggest individual piece, followed by the Batmobil but we found for such a large set this compartmentalised build approach helped stop the boy getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of LEGO involved. He worked his way through each of the constituent parts quietly and methodically over the course of a morning.
The RRP is £89.99 but if you shop around, you can get the set for considerably less. Given the number of characters and pieces, it’s a good value set in our opinion.
And the Batmobil is really cool. We’ve got other Batmobils but this one is definitely the best:
