$600 Shadow Box Batcave Set Coming June 5th

DC fans rejoice! We're finally getting a new LEGO Batman set - and it's not just any LEGO Batman set. This set is a huge $600 AUD Batcave, perfect for both displaying on a shelf or opening up to show off the full interior of the cave!

This 3981 piece set will come with 7 minifigures - Max Shreck, Catwoman, Batman (Empty Suit), Batman (Micheal Keaton), Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth and the Penguin.

Some features can be activated from the back of the Shadow Box Batcave, including lighting up the Batsuit vault (yes, it comes with a lightbrick), swiveling Batman's chair, changing the computer screen and opening and closing the tool store.

This looks like an awesome set for fans of Batman, with the option to close the set up and display it in box form. LEGO even shows us how the set looks on a narrow shelf, which is very convenient for fans who are running out of space to store their LEGO sets. It also makes the set much easier to transport while it's in box form.

The set launches in Australia on June 5th for VIP's at $600. For more LEGO Batman news, keep an eye on our blog. And if you'd like us to consider putting it in a monthly draw, let us know down in the comments!

EDIT: Also included is a sleek, minifigure-scale Batmobile with pop up guns, and what appears to be a sliding roof.
