Dan,
That's the Best Shoebox Batcave I can imagine, especially for my Corgi.

Nice review Dan, that looks amazing!
Re: REVIEW: Factory’s 1966 BATCAVE Model Is an Epic Achievement
Ok, Got it! Its everything Dan said and more.
First some pictures of the box. Some tips: Note, do not cut the Bat symbol side. That's a sticker, and you'll ruin it. I started and realized, so I cut from the bottom, and allowed the contents to gently slide out. The number of mine is 40, which is on the side of the styrofoam and apparently on the bottom It does have an AC plug so you don't have to use Batteries - Brilliant
There are two switches, one for the Bat computers, and one for the Batcave.
The Atomic Pile changes colors.
I'll try to insert a video, but it may be too large.

Batcave pics
I photographed the locations of the little goodies in the box, and peeled open a new Batmobile and some heroclix figures.

Hi Gang,
For any of you that bought this item, you know its big - 18 x 14 x 9". I've been looking into Acrylic display cases because my curio cab is not deep enough, and the glass shelf may not support the weight (20 lbs).
Here's the least expensive and tightest display case I've found to date: https://www.casesforcollectibles.com/5080.html
19 x 15 x 10" internal dimensions, reasonably priced, and has a black acrylic base. There is a version with a mirrored back side that might be pretty cool too. If you want more room, they have a 20 x 16 x 11 available.
The nice thing about this site is they have a ton of different sized enclosures, just click at the top and pick the size (width) you want, then scroll down until you find the depth and height.
everything else was nearly 2x the prices listed. I still need to check on the shipping, but luckily this is pretty close by (4 hours). If you find another place, let us know. I'm waiting about a week to order in case one of us comes up with a better solution. i don't know the thickness of the walls, so that's one question I have for them.
I will need to notch out a space for the electrical cord, but Dr. Dremel may have a hand it.
https://www.casesforcollectibles.com/calbox.html
Full custom link, allows for Mirror or Black background (Batsignal anyone?), and wood base
