One of the best LEGO x DC collaborations is on sale for the first time ever. Right now Walmart is offering the LEGO Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City Set (#76271) for $267.00. That’s an 11% discount from its retail price of $300 which is less than the typical LEGO deals we post, but I’ve actually never seen this set discounted in the past. It’s also an outstanding value at only 6.3 cents per brick, especially for a themed LEGO set that was released just last year.
LEGO Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City for $267
The LEGO Gotham City set is a huge 2.5D diorama depicting all of the most memorable landmarks showcased in the Batman animated TV series. It measures 30″ wide by 16″ tall and is comprised of a whopping 4,210 pieces, making it the largest LEGO x DC set ever by a fair margin (the next biggest set is the upcoming Arkham Asylum at 2,953 pieces).
Unlike traditional LEGO Art sets, Gotham City has a surprisingly high degree of interactivity even after you’ve finished building it. The diorama is comprised of 15 separate panels that can be removed to reveal the inside of Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum, and the activities of numerous villains from Batman: The Animated Series. The set also includes 4 minifigures: Batman, The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman, as well as the Batmobile and Batwing.
Both Kevin Wong and Seth Macy at IGN built this set and absolutely loved it. It’s definitely a challenging build that fully deserves the 18+ rating, but the end result is more than worth it. LEGO does include two sets of building instructions so that two people can work on it simultaneously.
We Build LEGO Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City by Kevin Wong
“This is a painstaking but rewarding build, demanding your entire attention to get every tile, stud, and brick in its proper place. I had to backtrack several times to make sure that everything lined up properly. But the end result is really quite stunning. And whenever I walk by it, hanging on a wall, it’s fun to scrutinize and find something new.”
