Lego Batman Set That Recreates Gotham City's Skyline Is Now Available At Best Buy

One of the coolest Batman Lego sets is now available to purchase at major retailers. Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City can be purchased for $300 at Best Buy--unless you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member, in which case you'll only pay $270. This massive 4,210-piece set is part of the Lego Art series and originally launched as a Lego Store exclusive in April. Once completed, this worthy-display features the full Gotham City skyline. We expect this set to be available to purchase at other major retailers soon.

It's worth noting that all Lego sets are 10% off for My Best Buy/Plus Total members, which can be a pretty awesome deal with pricey sets like this one. If you were to pair the Gotham City set with the new Dungeons & Dragons Lego set, which also launched at Best Buy on July 1, Best Buy would actually be giving you money to sign up for the $50 rewards program.

The set has 15 panels that can be removed to reveal the inside of Wayne Manor, the Batcave, and Arkham Asylum, and it comes with four minifigures of Batman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman in their animated series incarnations. There's also a mini-Batmobile and a mini-Batwing included with this set, and if you're not ready to mount it on your wall, you can display it safely on a surface using a flip-out stand.

Once assembled, it measures 16.1 inches (41cm) tall, 30 inches (76cm) wide, and 2.3 inches (6cm) deep, so you're going to want to make certain you have ample room to show it off when you're done.

Building Gotham City will understandably take a considerable number of hours, so you may want to have some enjoyable background noise while you put it together. The most obvious choice would be Batman: The Complete Animated Series on Blu-ray, which is available for $51 (was $80) at Amazon.

If you want to build another complex Batman set, this Lego Store-exclusive Batcave diorama hailing from the 1992 movie Batman Returns is very cool, too. It's thicker but packed full of bat-details like a command chair, computer screens, and even a Batsuit vault. It's a display piece that folds up neatly when you're not playing with it, although it is pricier at $400.

For a more affordable set, check out these trio of builds based on some of Batman's high-tech vehicles: Batmobile ($43), Batwing ($38), and Batcycle ($41).
