The shadowbox building block set features 3,981 pieces that all combine into one rectangular, cubic main unit that hides all the various accoutrements found in the Batcave of Batman himself. The various details are kept visible through a bat signal-shaped cutout on the front, but the box can also be opened to let fans explore the technology and weaponry within.

The LEGO Batman Returns Batcave Shadowbox set is being launched exclusively for LEGO VIP members starting on June 5 before arriving for the general public on June 8 for $399.
