I bought this Batmobile as a gift for my husbands upcoming birthday. I paid $569.00 for it and I have the receipt. It has never been out of it's box and has only been opened to take hotographs for ebay, infact I just picked it up from lay-by today and was told there was no refund on the item as it was a lay- by item. My reason for selling is simple. I saw this toy in a local hobby store not long ago and immediately thought of my husbands fanaticism over Batman and the fact that he has watched ' The Dark Night" a bajillion times and assumed this would be an excellent gift for him ( which by the way he doesn't know about)...however since I lay- by'd the item it's become clear that he does not want any gifts that are NOT practical and useful. So it is with much regret that I must sell this in order to buy him the 'practical' and 'useful' gifts he would prefer...ie a 'planer' from Bunnings and recording equipment for his music * rolls eyes*.....please bid so I can buy my practical and useful hubby something that he will appreciate.He's really such a deserving and sweet man I wouldn't wanto buy him a disappointing gift.. I have plenty more photographs of this vehicle that I can take....infact I took heaps but they sucked so bad I didn't upload them all to eBay.
BEWARE of the cheaper Elite edition which is almost identical until you see it has none of the minute detail on the vehicle! I have sighted cheaper versions of this vehicle being sold under the name " super elite" on the internet!
It has all it's functioning bits and pieces, seatbelts, real mag wheels, opening doors, a detailed engine bay, and it's very heavy, unlike the plainer ' Elite model'. This is the Super Elite. When I bought it at the store I was told by a collector there that only TEN of these were shipped into Australia!
