Synthesized Verdict

"The Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack scores a 62 — a set propped up by outstanding minifigures (especially the must-have movie Flash) but weighed down by a repetitive build, padded piece count, and a full retail price that both expert reviewers say isn't justified; buy it on sale."

The Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack earns a middling BrickScore of 62, reflecting a genuinely split reception: buyer reviews are enthusiastic, while expert reviewers at Brick Fanatics and Brickset land at "mixed / wait for sale." Everyone agrees the minifigures — especially the movie-debut Flash and the highly detailed Parademons — are the set's crown jewel. The vehicle itself is polarizing: its transforming walker/wheeler design is genuinely unique in Batman's LEGO history, but exposed Technic pins, a repetitive leg-build, and a piece count padded with tiny elements leave it feeling unfinished at full retail price. Playability is solid and durability is praised; display appeal is more debated.

Where they split: Buyer reviews rate the set near-perfect and consider the price fair or even a bargain on sale, while both expert reviewers (Brick Fanatics, Brickset) score it at 62 and explicitly recommend waiting for a discount. Display value also splits: Brickset finds the deployed-legs pose genuinely impressive on a shelf (75/100), while Brick Fanatics sees it as a playset first and a display piece a distant second (50/100).

LOVED (8)

01Flash minifigure — widely called the standout of the set, praised for its new helmet mold, beautiful printing, and first movie-variant appearance
02Parademons with highly detailed, printed chest and wings (no stickers on figures)
03Batman Justice League variant with face stubble resembling Ben Affleck and a soft fabric cape
04Transforming functionality: vehicle shifts from wheeled mode (eight wheels on footpads) to four-legged walking mode
05Unique vehicle concept — Batman has never had a walker/crawler in LEGO form before
06Sturdy, durable construction that holds up to rough play
07Interesting Technic-level connection angles and ratchet knee joints that support the model's weight
08Avoids being yet another Batmobile or Batwing rehash

CRITICIZED (10)

01Repetitive build: four nearly identical legs make up roughly half the construction
02Many exposed Technic pin holes give a skeletal, unfinished look from certain angles
03Blue Technic pins and exposed dark bluish grey beams on the rear look out of place
04Piece count padded with small Technic pins and 1×1 plates, undermining perceived value
05Vehicle feels undersized and less detailed than comparable Batman Movie sets (The Batmobile, The Scuttler) at a similar price
06Full retail price (~$49.99 / £54.99) considered too high relative to what you get; both expert reviewers recommend waiting for a sale
07Single articulation point per leg limits poseability
08Batman legs are not dual-moulded
09Flash flesh tone appears washed out against the dark suit base colour
10Stickers present (noted as a recurring frustration)

What reviewers are saying

"I will forgive a set a lot of sins if it is trying something different."

Brick Fanatics

"This bizarre design provoked considerable criticism when the first images of the set were released and it is easy to see why."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

70905 The Batmobile — The Batmobile feels like exactly the right number of parts; Knightcrawler feels like it could have used 100 more pieces. The Batmobile represents better aesthetic quality and detail.

70908 The Scuttler — The Scuttler, like The Batmobile, felt exactly right in parts and detail. Knightcrawler feels less complete by comparison.

7706 Mobile Defence Tank — The Knightcrawler's closest predecessor in design; both are four-legged tanks, though from different themes.

76087 Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack — The Knightcrawler measures 30cm in crawl mode and 'looks pretty impressive alongside even the Flying Fox.' Both use similar cockpit design elements (yellow seat, dark red hexagonal canopy).

Value drivers

Brick Fanatics: Parademon minifigures with exceptional detail and the Flash movie variant.

Brickset Reviews: The Flash minifigure is identified as 'a considerable draw to the set for many people' given its first appearance in this variant. New Batman head with stubble is also notable.

Exclusivity

Brick Fanatics: Licensed DC Super Heroes set tied to Justice League film; four exclusive or variant minifigures.

Brickset Reviews: Justice League theme exclusive; limited to theatrical film release window.

Resale

Brickset Reviews: Likely to see significant discounting, with reviewer noting 'This will be discounted so badly!' The set will likely hold value primarily due to minifigure desirability rather than the vehicle model itself.
