To the Batcave! And bring this iconic Batmobile with you. Batman's ride from The Batman takes its styling cues directly from the film. Sleek lines abound and the front hood displays hints of the majestic engine under the hood. This ride features opening doors, hood, and trunk along with a detailed interior. Accompanied by a 2.75" 100% die-cast collectible Batman figure in cape and cowl. Make sure to collect all The Batman die-cast vehicles including the 1:18 and 1:32 scale and the Nano Hollywood Rides 3-Pack.

A good purchase that arrived in good shape.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the first collector's memorabilia I've bought. The box it arrived in was flimsy, but there was enough bubble padding inside to protect the item. The box of the memorabilia was in good shape, the items inside the memorabilia box were unmoved, and in good shape.
I'm glad I bought this.

Worth the money
on March 30, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a serious collector's item. It is big like a coffee-table book.
I left it sealed and did not open it, but i imagine the stuff on the inside is going to be entertaining for Godfather fans. I own the movies already and wanted to purchase this as an investment for the future.
This is a nice product and high quality.

great movie, cheap casing
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie. Cheap casing, not a solid blu-ray case.
I generally had a bad holiday consumer experience and returned almost everything I bought.
I am thankful for the extended return period. That was the best part of the consumer experience.
But if I feel bad and am anxious and worried about getting a refund because Best Buy has a bad return process, then I am unlikely to consume from that retailer again.
A disappointing experience for the last several years.

Great movie and steelbook design
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie and great steelbook design.
It arrived undamaged even though the package was stuffed into the mailbox.
The one star is because I never know what I'm going to get with Best Buy these days.
I wish I had kept my CD collection and DVD/blu-ray collection before I had to sell all my CDs and most of my movies to stay afloat after the Great Recession. Most of that was bought from Best Buy and was high quality and the movies were special editions and quality cases.
DVDs and blu-ray casings at Best Buy are cheap plastic casing and are sold for more than they are worth (the last few years). Inflation is making all of this worse.
Wayne's World Steeblook is sold at a great price, is a great movie, and is a great design (it arrived undamaged which is rare).
Best Buy should do more of what it did with this Wayne's World steelbook and less of what it is doing with everything else.
I generally had a bad holiday consumer experience with Best Buy and it has been like that since May 2020 when I bought a TV at the beginning of the pandemic. Total tech's only benefit is the 60 day return, which can be confusing if you cancel total tech.
If you make a quality product like this Wayne's World steelbook, returns will not be needed.

Whatever

Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had a very bad consumer experience this holiday season with Best Buy. Their total tech fiasco is a mess. Their return process is a mess. Their online account information is a mess.
Their DVD and blu-ray casings are very cheap and a disappointment.
And then I feel awful for getting frustrated and the whole thing ends up being a bad experience.

Build an immersive media room with this 50-inch Samsung Smart TV. The Crystal 4K processor automatically improves the image quality of everything you watch, and the HDR technology makes colors look vivid and lifelike. This Samsung Smart TV has a universal guide that organizes live and streamed content so you can find what you're looking for quickly.

I owned a VIZIO 1080P Smart TV that required zero maintenance in 6 1/2 years. I have had a Sharp 4K Smart TV for two years that has worked perfectly. Both VIZIO and Sharp are user friendly.
Samsung is high maintenance. That has been my experience after owning it for two months. It looks like a great TV. But something has been wrong with my contrast and colors. I had best buy come out and diagnosis. Then they put in a new part. While also telling me that the real problem was something called "calibration." Calibration is fine tuning. This was a major color and contrast issue. It felt like bad-form on the geek squads part by trying to get me to sign-up for a $250 calibration service. Bad-form geek squad. Fix the issue. Don't sell me something I don't need. My Sharp out of the box is better than my Samsung out of the box. Samsung should be better out of the box. If you want to calibrate it to take it to the next level, then that's a different conversation.
Now that best buy has replaced the part, the TV is still not working. I have to have Samsung techs come out because if you have geek squad work on your Samsung TV, the two entities are not going to communicate to each other. Obviously. So I wasted an entire month by using best buy geek squad. I also bought a 5-year geek squad plan. It feels like more wasted money now.
Anyways, I'm not a Samsung person. But if you are, have Samsung fix your TV under the 1-year warranty plan. Also, ask about calibration when purchasing TVs. Whatever that is.
A very disappointing consumer experience.

Samsung, don't treat me like I'm an idiot
July 7, 2020
Hello Samsung,
Thanks for the heads up about updating my firmware. I'm from the stone-age. I wasn't aware of updates. You make a bad TV and sell it as a high end quality picture. I'm well aware of how to adjust a picture using the brightness and contrast controls. Thanks for telling me something I learned in the 90s. I used a tune-up app. During the picture adjustment, the brightness does not show the THX symbol at all. The display or screen or TV is bad. Don't insult me with your response like I don't know what I'm doing. Make a decent TV.

What I saw in the promo and have seen in the store is called raw 4K or raw HD. It is compressed through the apps I guess or cable lines. Whatever. The problem with my TV was that there was no contrast. I really don't know what fixed it but I'm getting the kind of picture quality I expected for 4K movies. I can see some detail in dark areas but it is obviously not an OLED or QLED picture. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting a pretty good picture that would keep me entertained while staying home.
Best Buy came out twice. They replaced the mainboard and that didn't fix it. I did factory resets and picture resets and smart hub resets. That didn't fix it. I had Samsung's techs come out once. They did nothing but also nothing changed. I asked for a more advanced tech. I did a Smart Hub reset the night before Samsung's tech was coming out for a second time. It fixed the 4K pictures that were too dark to watch like any DC Batman or even The Amazing-Spiderman or Men in Black. I don't know if it was that last Smart Hub reset or an auto-update of firmware. But the picture is what I expected, and if it looked like this from the beginning, I never would have made a fuss.
Knowing what I know now, I would recommend a person pay the extra bit of money and get a Samsung 8 Series (whatever the newest 8 series is). The 8 Series is supposed to be excellent for 4K movies.
