Have you ever dreamed of having your own Batcave? Well, two guys have come up with the fantastic idea to build the ultimate one, made entirely out of LEGO pieces. They decided to show it off at the annual BrickCon 2012, where they took home two honours.
Carlyle Livingston II designs entertainment apps for mobile devices for a living and Wayne Hussey runs BrickCon full-time, but they are both part-time LEGO enthusiasts! They first showed off their work in March 2012 at the largest pop culture event in the Northwest, the Emerald City Comicon. They later took their masterpiece to the Jet City Comic Show in September 2012.
Both the Batman films and comic books inspired Carlyle and Wayne. They built the cave in Wayne’s garage, where it took them a total of three months and four hundred hours to put it together! The cave weighs about 100 pounds and is made up of more than 20,000 LEGO pieces, all of which Wayne and his wife have been collecting for over 40 years!
Some things that Carlyle and Wayne have included in their Batcave is a Batcopter on a runway, Batcycles, a waterfall, internal lighting, Lego bats hanging from the cave ceiling, Alfred Pennyworth and Robin LEGO people and even a rotating wall with Batman’s equipment on one side and his suits on the other side.
This is definitely an amazing accomplishment!
