What reviewers are saying

"I love how outrageous this car is and yet very believable this is something that I feel could have actually been designed and put on the road"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"I think it's a great looking vehicle: sleek, curvaceous, flamboyant and gaudy."

Ecosystem

70906 The Joker Notorious Lowrider — Both vehicles feature new re-colours (the gold cheese grater slope appears in both). The Joker set is described as terrific by another user who plans to display both side-by-side for maximum ridiculousness.

70909 Batcave Break-In — The Penguin appears in both sets but with different facial expressions. This set is the cheaper way to get the amazing Penguin figure.

5984 — 5984 is noted as still being the coolest limo around, suggesting it may be a superior vehicle design despite this set's appeal.
