The Batman Beyond box set is cheaper than buying the singles ($80 vs $100).

I kinda wish he went back to making Build a Batmobiles instead. I like the one from Batgirl/Nightwing/Batman Who Laughs so much that I have two of them.

BAFs are tricky, I think the only reason companies still do them is because retailers like the figures to promote a "gotta buy 'em all" mentality, but I think McFarlane and sometimes Hasbro just do the "deluxe" type releases because they know a lot of collectors want these big figures but aren't going to buy a whole set anymore just to get them.

The building something that isn't a figure BAF model is under used, though, more stuff like the Batmobile would be nice to see.
