In celebration of the release of Batman v Superman this weekend, our friends over at Lionel Trains started a sweepstakes this weekend, where one winner will receive a set of their new Batman and Superman inspired boxcars. Check out the information on these new collectibles, and then see how you can win a set of your very own!
In conjunction with the highly anticipated film, BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, Lionel has created two special boxcars for fans to show off who their favorite superhero is. Where does your loyalty lie? Are you rooting for THE DARK KNIGHT masked protector of GOTHAM CITY or the MAN OF STEEL, caped guardian of METROPOLIS?
The Dark Knight Boxcar
Lionel’s THE DARK KNIGHT™ Boxcar and MAN OF STEEL™ Boxcar both feature detailed graphics and Unlimited Graphic Design experience, die-cast metal sprung trucks and operating couplers, as well as opening boxcar doors. They are made in the USA (of US and imported parts) and available for consumers to pre-order through their local Lionel dealers for $84.99 each. To find a local dealer, consumers can visit Lionel.com.
Man of Steel Boxcar
Additionally, Lionel will be kicking off a Tug of War “Who’s Your Hero” sweepstakes, which will run on the company’s social channels beginning on Friday, March 25th. Consumers can pick their favorite between THE DARK KNIGHT and MAN OF STEEL, with Lionel picking a lucky winner on April 4th from the list of the most popular hero to receive a set of THE DARK KNIGHT and MAN OF STEEL boxcars.
