For now it is a Lego Shop exclusive, expect other stores to have it in a few months or so. Quote
Hobbestimus Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Just finished building the first floor. I'm in love with this set. I modded my Ecto-1 right after I first got it - shrunk it down to a more City scale 6 studs wide by 20 studs long. It fits in the garage without removing anything. And I only have to remove Janine's desk to give it room for the doors to open and close. I may consider removing Peter's desk and having Janine sit that far back permanently. Quote

Do you have any pictures of your modification? I'd love to see that. Quote
Hobbestimus Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Do you have any pictures of your modification? I'd love to see that. There's some in this album: No pics in the firehouse, yet. It's still under construction. Quote
JPN366 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Was at the LEGO Store 15 minutes before they opened and got the Firehouse. I had $95 in LEGO gift cards, a $50 AMEX gift card and $35 in VIP points so I only paid $170 for it. I also picked up a $13 Iron Man/Ultron Marvel set for my son, so after taxes, I only paid $212. I still got 316 VIP points for the Firehouse and 11 VIP points for the Marvel set. So, I got another $15. Between this, the Death Star I got for Christmas and the Joker Steam Roller I picked up on vacation, I'm going to be busy. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I only have to wait 7 months and 27 days to get this... Quote

That's less than half price on a brand new set! As for the others, happy building! Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Finished the first (ground) floor and most of the first story. I'm LOVING the interior. So many little details and cool little builds! Easily my favorite build to date. But on the other hand, I'm seeing improvements/mods I'm going to make after i finish building it stock. Quote
merman Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 People who have the set: can you please give me the long number on the back of the instruction book? It is about 7 digits. Quote
Colossus Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 The Cleveland LEGO store sold out of the GB HQ and Bank modulars in a few hours. Looks like S@H for me. (sob!) Quote
Super Goblin Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 People who have the set: can you please give me the long number on the back of the instruction book? It is about 7 digits. Why do you need this number? Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I've been wondering what I want to do about this set. I'm either thinking of making it the sole, huge item to ask for for my birthday (in March, long wait) or to figure out another way to get it. Right now, I have about half the money I need, plus perhaps some VIP points to take off a little...I really want this set, but it looks like a longish wait for me. Quote
Fightingswords Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) People who have the set: can you please give me the long number on the back of the instruction book? It is about 7 digits. 6164659 those the numbers you are looking for? Edited January 2, 2016 by Fightingswords Quote
thefyfe Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Why do you need this number? I'm my experience you need throw number to get replacement parts to the liscence sets. My guess is they are chancing it to see if anyone wil give them it so they can get ahold of a mini figure or their parts. :-/ Quote
merman Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Just needed the number to see whether the pdf of the instructions were stored on the Lego website Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Coulda used the set number or searched 'Ghostbusters' Quote
zipper778 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Just out of curiosity, how many pages are in the instructions? Quote
peter_m Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Just out of curiosity, how many pages are in the instructions? There was this one review that said it is 418 pages Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) There was this one review that said it is 418 pages An instruction booklet of biblical proportions! (Even if the Bible does have about 600 pages on the instruction booklet, you get the gist) Edited January 2, 2016 by Aegis2000 Quote
Gongoro73 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Has anyone integrated the GB HQ in his/her modular layout yet? I want this set, but it would be great to see it first in the middle of a city layout. Not sure yet how it will fit. Although it's minifig scale, looks like a little bit of a monster to me. Quote

Gongoro73 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks, Cremilar! As I supected, feels a bit out of scale. What d'you think, fellow brickers? Quote
KCMatze Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Looks really fine to me. It's a bit big, but it is a huge house in reality, too. I like it! Quote
