Check out the issues I had on pg. 458 and make sure the seller gets some pictures of the spoiler pieces that attach!! As you can see from my pics, mine came damaged in the package.

yeah I am running out of space and since my lights are all in that area I couldn't pose it on a table. I liked the batpod on the cabinet directly better as well but had to compromise. Also thinknig of using the frosted sheet as the base as another alternative oooo gotto try tonight
something new I am experimenting with
Id say this one is best. Expecting you will glue it... (?)
I am going to buy a Tumbler too. Just to sum up things I have to look for are
- working lights
- no scratches on the roof
Any more things to look for?

None of the rods or struts are broken. Oh and all the spoilers are intact as well.
No glueing. That is an existing case that I just used to setup a demonstration of that frosted acrylic. I am going to make a new case for someone based on that picture
What Ro926 said. His was the only case so far but he was missing one of the flap supports in the rear and hence could not mount the last flap. Get him to take a shot of the entire rear and we should be able to tell. Also remember the flaps are more often broken. Get him to take a picture of the flaps spreaded out (he can do that without opening the bag) so we/you can see if anything is broken or looks off. One of my flaps the support pole was bend the wrong way and I had to slowly force it to the right direction without breaking it but I broke 2 other pieces
But it can be glued. Just remember before you install it and to turn the flaps holding real close to the hinge to loosen it. I made the mistake of installing and then then moving the flap only to break it at the hinge

Going to be pretty difficult to find one without scratches on the roof panels, isn't it? Being that they were all packaged the same way?
Is there anyone who has a Tumber without the dreaded roof scuffs?

I don't have the roof scuffs last I checked but I do have scratches and glue marks elsewhere (one dripping spill near the battery compartment and white residue on the window frames).
Its a very scratchable collectible - I wish the opening canopy was an easier process as I can easily envision causing roof scratches trying to operate it.
I dunno, its not ideal but I think you have to accept a certain amount of surface defects - me I try to rationalise that its the Batmobile - its not supposed to be pristine and simply would not be with all the action it sees.

I think that's a good attitude to have about it.
I have no space for this thing
.. i really hope when I do finally have space one day, that i'll be able to source one from somewhere...

I hear you...for me, space isn't that big of an issue, it's the $400 that's my biggest hurdle. I just hope that I'll have one to buy once the $$$ is there.

Yeah between the money and the size... there's some serious hurdles to owning this piece!

Space was my concern. As much as I like this piece, I'm glad it is now being stored at SanShouXMA's place

Hi there geil ..tell me is the BAT POD worth it ? convince me ..!!!
yoyo I was able to remove all my white residue using cleaner I had from my optomitrist and some Q-tips. To get into the corners for perfection I used a toothpick. It did not even leave scratchmarks on the glass and the panels, must be the woo... material the toothpick is made of
same goes for white glue residue on the plastic panels
As for scratching the Tumbler when opening and closing the top non of the steps should really scratch anything except when closing. The final step of putting the pillar in place you have to make sure you actually align it visually instead of by "touch" as the pillar is sharp enough to leave marks tracing your attempt to close the roof
