Description

Built for a jailbreak

The name says it all: this is not a quiet building to admire, but the setting for an escape. Arkham Asylum has been a fixture of Batman comics, films and games for decades, and a breakout is one of its most familiar storylines. The set gives you the asylum as a playable location, with room for guards, inmates and the heroes trying to restore order. Among the Batman sets released in 2012, it is one of the largest.

A cast of 8 minifigures

Eight minifigures mean you can play out several scenes at once, from a patrol along the walls to an escape attempt in progress. The exact line-up is shown in the inventory on this page. For many collectors, the figures are a big part of the appeal of older Batman sets, and a complete cast adds considerably to a display. If you are buying second-hand, checking the minifigures first is a sensible starting point.

Greys, black and white

The colour list reads like a mood board for a forbidding institution: dark bluish grey and light bluish grey lead, followed by black and white. There is barely any bright colour in the main mix. That restraint pays off later, since grey parts are the backbone of castles, industrial buildings and modern city builds alike. With 370 unique parts, there is also a wide range of shapes, so the build stays varied despite the sober palette.

Where the parts can go next

If the asylum eventually comes apart, a large collection of neutral greys and 370 different elements gives you a strong starting stock for your own ideas. The “What can I build?” tool on this page compares the inventory with other sets and shows which ones you could rebuild in full or in part. It is a practical way to see how much value lies in the pieces themselves, not just in the finished model.
