There's loads of NYCC news over at
FBTB, including pictures of
76001 The Bat vs. Bane - Tumbler Chase and
76005 Spider-Man - Daily Bugle Showdown.
The details are as follows:
76001: $39.99, Piece Count: 368, Minifigures: Batman, Bane, Commissioner Gordon
76005: $49.99, Piece Count: 476, Minifigures: Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Jonah Jameson, Nova, Beetle
Both will be available in January, or more likely, after Thanksgiving in the USA.
Via Brickset
Majorly disappointed with the Tumbler set. Way too small, was hoping for it to be in the same scale as the one from 2007. And, I don't remember seeing that much blue on The Bat in the movie...

That Tumbler set might be the worst LEGO set I have ever seen. Considering the number of superb MOCs that have been made of the Tumbler at all scales and color schemes, for that to be the best LEGO can do is just shoddy, sloppy work. So far I am calling 2013 as a mega-bust year, as bad as 2012 was good. I'll be spending my money getting 2012 sets on clearance, obviously.

I'll be getting both, Im a sucker for the minifigs. Other than that neither of these really floats my boat. It would have been cool if there was a peter parker minifig to go with jonah jameson but doom and nova make up for it.
I especially hate all the stickers! The super hero sets are covered in them, I thought it may have been because they had a short time to get the first wave into production but it looks like it was just the status quo.

What a waste. I can't believe TLG came up with this Tumbler set. Totally disappointed. It is a downgrade to previous tumbler.

That Tumbler is so itty bitty. It looks like the original just had a little baby.

I agree the tumbler is a downgrade, but I think they are targeting the general market with that set and keep the price down. It has a playset feel. I like it for what it is. That said, I think if the Arkham Asylum set sells well, we can expect UCS or better tumbler model for the A/TFOL market.
At least the vehicles don't look like crap like the TMNT set. *barf*

I agree, for forty dollars I see a lot of play value for kids being able to pit Bane and Batman against each other with their own respective vehicles. Looking forward to owning an incarnation of the tumbler.

Too bad that NONE of the sets are based on the 2003 Teen Titans TV series. I wonder why.

It's so cute..... a chibi Tumbler. And exactly what we didn't want. It's nice that LEGO included an orange Brick Separator with the Spidey set though.

i like the size of the tumbler, but i am going to rebuild it but in black, im sure a black tumbler of that size will look nice, also gonna take the blue out from the bat and sub in black pieces.
sure the set doesn't look that good but i think it has some real potential to look fantastic.

Beeeecause that show ended in 2006?

He's pretty much a catch-all villain. He's fought Spider-man a few times in the comics. Notably
Amazing Spider-man #350.

That Tumbler and Jet are just... just... uninspiring and so blah, I expected more from LEGO here. And blame Toby Maquire spidey for my no enthusiasm at all for LEGO Spiderman. Bane and Gordon mini figs are cool tho.
EDIT: Not to mention the stickers, LEGO what are you doing? WE DON'T LIKE THEM!

Yes. The vehicle from TMNT set is much worst than this tumbler.

The sticker, that is located right at the front panle of The Bat, does look very ugly. Nevermine, just don't apply on it when you build this set.

Supposedly, this set is directly out of a scene from the
Ultimate Spider-man cartoon.
Both of these sets are representative samples of what LEGO is doing with licensed themes. Using minifigs to sell sets.
Arkham is lovely as a set. The minifigs in that are okay, but the building is a beauty. But, the Bat/Tumbler and Bugle are un-inspired. I was hoping for better. Here's hoping the Batboat set is better looking.

Yes, Dr. Doom was featured as a main villain in
Ultimate Spider-Man, however, it was in a completely different episode lol. The Beetle was the main villain in the Daily Bugle episode this particular set was based off of, so it seems Dr. Doom was just shoe-horned in there. I've actually watched most of the episodes of the show, and I have to say that it isn't that bad. It's easy to see why Lego/Marvel decided to use the show as a basis for the Spidey sets, since there is a ton of source material to choose from. And the Iron Fist and Nova figures now make sense to me, since they're both a part of Spidey's 'team' on the show.

We love the Spiderman cartoon. Even my 13 year old daughter enjoys it (although she might deny it if asked). It's funny and maybe a little corny sometimes but it's a good show. Now granted, it's not the spiderman cartoon from the mid-90's that I love. However, taking it for what it is, it's enjoyable. Looking forward to the new sets, although I'll join the chorus with those not impressed with the bat/tumbler. Sets like that, I'll just wait for a good sale. Of course, I rarely seem to pay full price for many legos.

Man, looking at that set just makes me regret not buying the old Tumbler set for $25 when I had the chance.
I'm so disappointed...

I find it funny that this site/forum is generally just an adult playground for people to whine about how badly designed these kids toys are. I think you all need a time out to put things in perspective. The tumbler is small.. yup.. Lego never makes smaller versions of vehicles ever right? Do you think little johnny will talk his dad into buying a 80+ dollar tumbler set? Then try and fit that beast into his backpack so he can go over his friends house and play with it? Hmm.. DOOM! that is all
