The Lego Nolan Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Can't you only buy D2C sets from the Lego store/Lego shop online? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Can't you only buy D2C sets from the Lego store/Lego shop online? At first, yes. After a while, they usually become available at selected retailers like TRU Quote
rob-ot5000 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 70140 is the set number, that's all I know. I think J2G posted about it a while ago, and it might've been in the S@H URL trick. I'm about to start searching, but where is this being discussed?? Thanks! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I'm about to start searching, but where is this being discussed?? Thanks! It's not. There's really nothing to discuss at this point. A set number is not enough.Back to the Firehouse, please. Quote
Actor Builder Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Well this discussion has been heating up! Pun always intended. I will not be buying this set at full price. I have witnesses now that I must keep my promise to. Boom. $350 saved. Quote
Tariq j Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I remember when Lego released the Helicarrier they gave away a Winter Soldier Polybag, I wonder whether they'll do the same thing here, a Mini ECTO-1 maybe? Quote

I wish, I haven't heard anything at this point. I'm sure they'd do an exclusive figure, but I'm not sure if there's anything to do at this point, the Firehouse has all the essential stuff + that Stay Puft figure for Dimensions is coming. We're already getting a mini-ECTO-1 in the Dimensions level pack. Edited October 26, 2015 by just2good Quote

Blondie-Wan Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 If there were one, I think Walter Peck would be the most obvious candidate for a new character. My next choice would be a different version of one of the other characters already present, like Dana Barrett in a different outfit from whatever she's in in the big set (so that we'd have Dana as Dana and Dana as the Gatekeeper), for example. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Could it be a burnt Stay Puft minifig? (Since they already have the mold from Dimensions) Walter Peck would be great as well. Quote
jaesroe Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) yeah~ the expectation is getting higher and higher!! I do hope to see some pictures soon or at least any leaked pics of this set!!! can't waaaaait!!! Edited October 26, 2015 by jaesroe Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) It would definitely be Walter Peck. He's the only integral character not in the set. I'd enjoy Gozer's first form, too. Edited October 26, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
kelceycoe Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 I wish, I haven't heard anything at this point.

We're already getting a mini-ECTO-1 in the Dimensions level pack. Flawed logic because we already have 2 micro versions of the Mystery Machine - the Dimensions version and the 28-piece version given out at the Scooby Doo Mystery Tour. Staying on topic, Walter Peck sounds a lot more right. I wonder if we're going to get anything else? Also, the July release date isn't so far-fetched if it is the real date. Look at it this way: 1. July is close to Halloween which assumes TLC would release this to give Halloween fans something extra special besides what small seasonal set they'll release. 2. July is the time the all-female movie comes out. Yes this obviously isn't their HQ but... 3 of the original living Ghostbusters make their cameos as well as Dana Barret. Since these original cast members are being used to get Ghostbusters fans interested in this film (which has been muddled with hate since it was announced) makes sense to sell the HQ when everyone is thinking "Ghostbusters" anyway. 3. January is only 2ish months away. How many times has TLC released a set without at least 4 months promotion, especially one this big? If it does come out in January it's definitely a last-minute thing given the set is not officially recognized by TLC yet and third-party retailers and insiders have leaked it. Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Another piece of evidence is that all we know is a set no. and a leaked description. A January release? We'd have pics around now. Quote

Since these original cast members are being used to get Ghostbusters fans interested in this film (which has been muddled with hate since it was announced) makes sense to sell the HQ when everyone is thinking "Ghostbusters" anyway. Not just Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver, but Annie Potts as well - all the surviving core cast members except Rick Moranis, who retired from screen acting many years ago. I've been wondering whether there might be any sets based on the new movie(s). Come to think of it, there could conceivably be a promo polybag or two based on that - like, buy the classic original Firehouse HQ, and get a free member or two of the new team. Hey, you never know... Quote
6ix Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 A promo polybag with a stroller and baby would be nice :-) Quote
legonerd54321 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I was thinking of the Vigo painting and a Vigo figure. Maybe a dancing toaster or a Twinkie? Quote

cimddwc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 TLG also just tweeted these photos: confirming a January release. Quote
escortmad79 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Pics just posted on LEGO's Facebook page Arm printing!!!!!! Quote
Brick Capone Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 It looks really nice. Can't wait until January. As I'm saying this, Ghostbusters 1 is on in the background. Spooky. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Well, time to cross everything out for Christmas. I'm getting this instead Quote
escortmad79 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Venkman has slime on him!! Edited October 27, 2015 by escortmad79 Quote
