Glad Round 2 re-released that baby, I saw that kit sell
for $700.00 a few years ago, god only know what it would
have sold for now.

60′s TV show Batman’s Batcopter!!!! That would be killer!

Whenever I want to find approximate value for something like this I look it up on eBay.

I have run across an original Batmobile scale model assembly kit from 1966 made by Aurora and it looks like all the original parts are included along with the instructions. Does anyone know it’s value or how to find out.

Hello all. I’m another member of the batboard. I’ve been a fan of the polar lights kits for a while now (even during the Nascar Charger fiasco)and as a fan of the Batmobile and ALL movie/TV cars, I had to chime in.

Over the years i’ve built many plastic and resin Batmobiles and each one of them, good or bad as they were left me cold in one way or another…and that includes this great old Aurora kit. Don’t get me wrong, I still have mine after 39 years (restored 4 times) and i’m just as nostalgic for this kit as anyone else.

However I must implore you…where the 1/25th kit is concerned. PLEASE leave no stone unturned, take EVERY advantage of the research materials I know Mr. Lowe has and the wealth of knowledge on the net.

I can’t speak for the entire Batfan community but I can tell you this. We can wait. It’s as simple as that. If it doesn’t see shelfspace for another year we’ll be happy as long as it’s accurate to the television series. Please, give us the Batmobile we’ve all been waiting forty years for and we’ll all rush to buy multiples of them I promise you!

Jamie (and Tom)

Big props out for ALL these plastic releases of the Batmobile that you have planned.

Many of us 1966 Batmobile modelers are as excited about redoing the old 1/32 Aurora as well as the holy grail of a plastic 1/25 version.

Dudes, I think this is good that you’ve scored an original Aurora pressing of the kit. NOW, how about stop fooling around and give The People what they REALLY want! A 1/25 scale version of the ’66 Batmobile!! If youm had this in 1/25 scale it would be a major seller! Have you seen how many resin casters out there ARE producing the 1/25 version! 1/32 is nice but there’s a rather small bunch of real builder who do 1/32. And while your at it, how about a 1/25 Black Beauty? I’ll bet if you brought them out in a larger scale they’d be almost as popular as the Trek kits!

Wow! I love how AMT, Polar Lights and MPC are connecting with people, I would NEVER have imagined!

I can’t wait to get my hands on the reissue of the old aurora kit!

I might get a couple to modify into different versions.
