Only the three I specifically listed have been cancelled, but new waves should begin next spring (I have confirmed with Corgi that they are indeed releasing more in the future; their license will be good for a bit longer). The BMBV5 is the last one you mentioned, and the other two were originally supposed to be out this October/November. Here are images for all three:

Spencer - have you any more info on what exactly Corgi are up to? They're impossible to keep track of! You'd think that they (Corgi) would recognise that there are people out there who like to get ALL their Batman range, and maybe just help them a little with the purchasing of their products!

Of these pictures, only the top one is appearing on their own site as a coming soon item - but another UK toy supplier is now saying it's been cancelled (again).

In addition to these pictures, they've got new 1/24 with figures listed as well - all "coming soon"

Cheers

From what I can tell, anything from here out will be repaints and modified versions of what we already have - a blue version of the '40s 1/24 Batmobile, dark gray versions of some of the newer Batmobiles, etc. No one I've talked to has indicated that any new molds will be created.

It's a bit of a shame if they're not doing new molds - but I guess in fairness they've seen us ok so far. They've given us a good number of well decent cars (the only one that left me disappointed was the 60s TV style 1/24 - that was a little lacklustre).

Fair play to Corgi on the whole though.

I have all the 1:43 Batmobiles except, the three different two car sets (which were the same cars as the singles anyways), the Gold 1960?s Batmobile and the 1930's DC Comics Batmobile (which I may get, but don?t have to have). I was really hoping that this line would continue onward as these are really very nice.

I got most of the 1:24 scale Batmobiles too, I?m only missing the 1940?s one. I have most of the 1:18 scale ones as well except the 2000 ?Hush? variant in Blue and the 1930?s Roadster. I rarely buy 1:24 scale as I prefer the larger 1:18 but I like what Corgi did and I?m sorry to see them lose the license.
