Synthesized Verdict

"The Joker Notorious Lowrider earns a BrickScore of 73.6 and 4.79 out of 5 from 672 owners, making it one of the most visually striking and mechanically inventive sets in The LEGO Batman Movie lineup. Its working suspension and three exclusive minifigures are genuine standouts, but at $0.115 per piece it asks you to pay for character and play value rather than brick quantity."

The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906) earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 73.6, widely celebrated for its flamboyant design, working rubber-band suspension, and an exceptional minifigure trio. Owners gave it a 4.79 out of 5 average across 672 ratings, with 94% recommending it, closely aligning with expert praise. The one consistent point of tension across reviews is value: the parts-value aspect consensus scored just 40 and the value-for-money consensus at 47.3, making this a set whose price was questioned even by fans.

Where they split: The price-versus-value tension is the sharpest divergence in this set's reception. Several reviewers initially passed due to cost concerns and upgraded their opinion after purchase, while the expert review and pure parts-value scoring both landed low. Buyers who weighted playability and minifigure quality rated it very highly; those who benchmarked against piece count rated it less favorably.

LOVED (8)

01Working rubber-band hydraulic suspension system that allows individual wheel height adjustment
02Bold purple, lime green, and gold colour scheme faithful to The LEGO Batman Movie Joker aesthetic
03Exceptional minifigure trio: exclusive Joker variant, Harley Quinn with praised hair moulding and intricate printing, and Batgirl with innovative new purple cowl and adjustable ponytail
04Zebra-print seats rendered in printed (not stickered) elements
05Spring-loaded shooters cleverly hidden with concealed activation mechanism
06Golden chicken hood ornament and squeeze horn as playful character details
07Pairs excellently with the Batmobile (70905) for combined play scenarios
08Impressive finished size at 8 studs wide

CRITICIZED (6)

01Parts-value aspect consensus of 40 and value-for-money at 47.3 were the lowest in this batch; $49.99 for 613 pieces at $0.115 per piece was seen as poor cost efficiency
02Harley Quinn's roller skates must be removed to fit her in the car, and they are awkward to store
03Very limited boot storage space due to the spring-loaded shooter mechanism taking up the rear
04Rear window proportions look slightly awkward compared to the wider windscreen
05Suspension can return to elevated position if the model is bumped
06Speaker controls use a sticker rather than a printed element

What reviewers are saying

"Overall 70906 The Joker Notorious Lowrider is a brilliant set and it has completely satisfied my high expectations."

Brickset Reviews

"this is just a very good representation in Lego form of a late '70s Cadillac drop top Coupe DeVille uh it just has all of the proper lines"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"The Joker has pimped up this Lowrider without sparing any expense, thanks to plenty of gold accented ornaments and customisations against the loud purple and lime green colour scheme of the vehicle."

Ecosystem

5984 Lunar Limo — The pearl gold accents and exhaust manifold on The Joker Notorious Lowrider remind reviewer of 5984 Lunar Limo.

60132 Service Station car — Used for scale comparison to show the Joker Notorious Lowrider is absolutely enormous in relation to a standard car.

70905 The Batmobile — Both are priced at £54.99 in UK, making comparison unfavourable for the lowrider despite its innovation. However, The Joker Notorious Lowrider is the reviewer's favourite of the four sets released in North America so far and offers excellent play value when combined with The Batmobile. The Batmobile is much larger.

70900 The Joker Balloon Escape — Contains a similar Joker minifigure but without jacket. Reviewer cannot easily choose favourite as this version is more detailed but the other wears more traditional outfit.

What Owners Say · summarized from 33 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners love the creative build, working suspension, vibrant purple and gold color scheme, and minifigures, though some are frustrated that all three figures cannot comfortably fit in the car and find it overpriced relative to brick count.
