The Bat-Mite Store is one of the first real rewards you get for pushing past the opening hours of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. It sells suits, Batcave decorations, and Red Bricks, all for Studs, and the catch is that its inventory rotates randomly every time you visit. Miss a good rotation and you might be waiting a while. This guide covers exactly how to open the shop and every item it can stock.
How do you unlock the Bat-Mite Store?
The store is not available from the start. You need to finish Chapter 1 of the main story first. Once you clear the final Chapter 1 mission, the game brings you to the Batcave. From there, follow the Blue Bat indicator through the cave. It leads you to a brick wall that you destroy using the Explosive Spray gadget. The Bat-Mite Store sits behind that wall, and it stays open for the rest of the game from that point forward.
Buy items as soon as they appear in the rotation. The shop refreshes its stock each time you enter, so anything you skip might not come back for a while.

What does the Bat-Mite Store sell?
The shop carries three categories of items: Batcave Props, Suits, and Red Bricks. Prices are paid in Studs, the standard in-game currency. The inventory is randomized on each visit, so not every item below will appear at once. If you are short on Studs and need to farm some up before a good rotation disappears, check out our stud farming and beginner tips guide.
Batcave props
Only one Batcave prop has been confirmed in the store's rotation so far:
Batcave Props are purely cosmetic. They let you customize the look of your Batcave hub area rather than providing any gameplay advantage.
Suits
The store carries a solid selection of suits for both Batman and Jim Gordon. Prices range from 30,000 Studs on the lower end up to 55,000 Studs for the more elaborate options.

Red Bricks
Some Red Bricks do not appear as fixed collectibles in the world. Instead, they can only be obtained through the Bat-Mite Store, where they spawn randomly. These six bricks are store-exclusive or store-available options:
The Beauty brick is the most expensive of the bunch at 50,000 Studs. Construction is the cheapest at 15,000 Studs. If you are chasing a full Red Brick collection, you will need to keep checking back at the store. For bricks found out in the world rather than through the shop, the complete Red Brick locations guide has every mission-based pickup mapped out.
Red Bricks in the Bat-Mite Store spawn randomly, not on a fixed schedule. There is no guaranteed way to force a specific brick to appear. Keep visiting and buy them the moment they show up.
How does the random rotation work?
Every time you walk into the Bat-Mite Store, the game generates a new selection of available items from the pool above. Nothing carries over between visits. You cannot hold items in a cart or reserve them. If you see a suit or Red Brick you want and have the Studs, buy it immediately. There is no penalty for visiting the store repeatedly, so checking in after each mission or Stud farming session is a reasonable habit.

Quick tips for getting the most out of the store
- Complete Chapter 1 as soon as possible. The store is locked until then, and several suits and Red Bricks are only accessible through it.
- Prioritize Red Bricks if you care about completing your collection. Suits are cosmetic. Red Bricks can have gameplay effects.
- The Beauty Red Brick at 50,000 Studs is the biggest single purchase in the shop. Plan your Stud farming around it if it shows up.
- Suits for Jim Gordon top out at 40,000 Studs, making them cheaper on average than most Batman suits.
