I was the last customer in the store and they were having issues with ringing me out so the manager handed me my copy and said "Here, too many issues with our sales computer so compliments of Microsoft" and gave me my copy for free.

LOL that's awesome!

OK so three weeks later anyone uncover any facts about what really happened to Batmobile edition? What sucks is that it would have been the only real sharp replica of the Arkham Knight vehicle to date.

Only AK batmobiles out their right now I found is Hot Wheels "elite" which is kinda a joke if it is considered a serious replica. Absent some sort of future release of the model (i.e. on DCU store or whatever) I suppose that puts us waiting for someone like Sideshow\Hot Toys to do a really cool rendition of it like they did for the Dark Knight tumblers and Keaton's wheels from the 80's movie. While Sideshow IMHO is certainly amongst the top few model/figure producer perhaps in the world, buying their items is a quick route to bankruptcy for most. I just bought some of their Dino collection because my boy and I think they are just so freakin' cool and am waiting for wife to kick my A$$ when she sees bank stmt.

Anyway back to my original question... does anyone know anything more about what really happened to the batmobile?

Yeah at the last second they realized they couldn't sell it becuase it was a piece of shit, and although the limited edition statue isnt terrible, if thats any indication of what the batmobile was made out of then it was a pos.

Too be honest I thought they were just going to repackage the SDCC 2014 batmobile into it....they look identical

Really? I must not have seen the same SDCC2014 batmobile because the one I saw was very plasticky and way less detailed than the replica pictured in the AK CE batmobile edition. SDCC one here...

I don't personally think they're even close because CE edition replica pictured looked to be a much more detailed rendition of higher end construction. Could be wrong but who will ever know now right?

I'm probably the odd one out, I liked the limited edition statue, but I hated that they didn't drop the price to reflect the new 52 content that was included being made free.
