Holy Plastic Bricks, Batman! The OG Batmobile in LEGO Form!

The 1966 Batmobile, reborn in LEGO! Build the ultimate Bat-icon and grab a discount while you’re at it.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate one of the coolest cars ever created – the original 1966 TV series Batmobile. It wasn’t just a car; it was a Bat icon. Based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, this beauty was brought to life by the legendary custom car guru George Barris. With just $15,000 and a 15-day deadline, Barris worked his magic to transform the Futura into the sleek, rocket-inspired Batmobile we all know and love. It featured those fabulous bubble canopies, flaming exhaust, and gadgets galore – basically, it was the Batcave on wheels!

So, could cherished classic car culture face the same fate globally?

The clock is ticking, folks. In just a few short years, the UK will see the end of new petrol and diesel new car sales.

Musk’s Dangerous Antics Could Ignite Devastating Violence

Divide and Rule: The Oldest Political Strategy. Reject this Dangerous Narrative!

Let’s get one thing absolutely clear; the grooming and exploitation of women, girls, and children is an unconscionable crime that no society can tolerate. As a Muslim, I unequivocally denounce such heinous acts. Islam, like all major religions, holds the sanctity and protection of the vulnerable as paramount.
