Ecosystem

76240 Batmobile Tumbler — 76239 is better value and is the reviewer's favourite LEGO Tumbler model, offering great value despite being smaller; 76240 is larger but 76239 maintains impressive accuracy

76023 The Tumbler (2014) — Batman minifigure in 76239 displays impressive detail across the torso but appears simpler alongside the minifigure from 76023; overall, 76239 substantially improves upon the previous minifigure-scale Tumbler

2008 Tumbler — 76239 substantially improves upon this previous minifigure-scale rendition through growing selection of angular slopes and wedge plates

2013 Tumbler — 76239 substantially improves upon this previous minifigure-scale rendition through growing selection of angular slopes and wedge plates

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Angular slopes and wedge plates
Enable dramatic enhancement in recreating the complex shape and layered armour, improving upon previous minifigure-scale renditions from 2008 and 2013
Technic wing elements
Brilliantly integrated at the rear to faithfully recreate the layered armour which distinguishes the Tumbler from other Batmobile designs
Balloon tyres
Their shape and tread texture approximates the source material excellently
Stickers
Weapons control station, suspension detail, fuel caps, electrical discharge ports, and cockpit consoles with navigational information look superb
Trans-green pieces
Provide welcome splashes of colour and authenticity to the vehicle design
Speed Champions modern chassis
Used as the main base to hold two minifigures inside the cockpit very close to the ground; enables the proper proportions and playability of the Tumbler
