42155 LEGO The Batman Batcycle | One for LEGO Technic and LEGO Batman fans

Published: 1 year ago

Last Updated: 1 month ago

42155 LEGO Batman Batcycle, one for LEGO Technic and LEGO Batman fans! A symbol of justice and courage and beloved by millions of people around the world, Batman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. His story is filled with inspiring moments, heart-warming morals, and captivating storylines. He is often associated with his sidekick, Robin, and fights a variety of foes, with a host of tricks up his sleeve, including the Joker, Catwoman, Two-Face, Ra's al Ghul, Scarecrow, and the Penguin as he ensures peace reigns across Gotham City. One of Batman’s tricks must be his range of vehicles at his disposal. From the iconic Batmobile to the Batwing, Batcycle and even a submarine, Batman has a wide range of vehicles to suit any situation.

The Batcycle is a custom-built motorcycle made specifically for the Dark Knight. It is a combination of a street bike and a dirt bike, making it a perfect fit for the hero's needs. It features an aggressive design with a matte black finish and a dual exhaust system. It is one of the most iconic vehicles in the entire Batman universe and is a key part of the Batman's arsenal of gadgets.

Theme Analysis

As there are only 4 sets currently within the sub-theme and all currently still available at retail sale we have looked at some retired sets from the wider Technics theme. The overall theme is not usually at the top of the lists when looking for investments, and whilst there are some gems hidden within, sadly we don’t think this will be one of them.

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth
6860 The Batcave 31/12/2013 $70 $122 74% 5%
76035 Jokerland 31/12/2016 $120 $180 50% 5%

Comparable Set Analysis

Whilst Batman is universally popular, it just doesn’t seem to be a desirable option when looking at LEGO investments. We have looked at a variety of different Batman based sets across various themes over the years and most struggle to deliver annualised growth of 5% a year

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth

Conclusion

Not one to set investors pulses raising sadly, but this authentic scale model of Batman’s Batcycle is definitely one to build.  Available at LEGO for the RRP of £49.99 here or at Zavvi here.
