Bought the last of my favourite Batmobiles from eBay with the Tumbler from 2021, set 76239. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous, and it always surprises me how these sets are created from so many small pieces.

Anyway, I thought I would post a picture of it sitting next to the Tumbler from the set 7888 released in 2008. Admittedly, mine is a clone, but the design is identical. I just found it interesting in seeing the difference of the same vehicle designed thirteen years apart.

It's interesting how the utilization of SNOT in the 2021 set improves the shape of the front end when compared to the 2008 version.

I don't get a lot of Lego, so I'm often surprised by new pieces. The one that surprised me with this set was a 2x2 flat piece that had a technic bolt on the bottom.

There's three of those holding on the sloped front ends on either side, clicking into the technic brick substructure.
