JPN366 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Huh?... Bricks get heavier when you put them together?... I wouldn't trust that box to hold it built. I do, 3. I also work at an elementry school that has LEGO in most classrooms, not one whole minifig in the place! But back on topic, I'm still in love with this set, though I do have plans to make it "better". Not sure when I'll be able to do it since just buying it took a BUNCH of my LEGO budget... I expect my son to give the one armed Slimer a minifigure arm or something weird. His LEGO table I call his mad scientist lab. Quote

BirdOPrey5 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Wish they would have included a classic Lego "ghost" minifig. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 That would have been cute, but the matter stands that none of the ghosts in the film(s) look like that. They're either more humanoid (like the librarian) or more abstract (like Slimer and the pink and blue ghosts.) A reference to the classic ghost in a newspaper clipping or a textbook would have been neat, though. Quote

JPN366 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Is anybody else having trouble with the front of the roof not resting flush? A gap is developing on mine and I can't figure out why. Quote
Cmay91472 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Is anybody else having trouble with the front of the roof not resting flush? A gap is developing on mine and I can't figure out why. It's probably caused by very minor bowing on the long plates that the roof is comprised of. I added a couple additional smooth tiles with the single stud in the middle and it made mine sit flush. As a purist.... that double corrugated door MOD makes me cringe as the door within a door was shown being used by Sigourney Weaver's character when she first visited the firehouse HQ. Quote

But in the movies both garage doors had walk through doors. I bought an extra to make it that way, but I don't like that the small doors have the 4 small windows cut out. If Lego ever produces a 1x4x6 door in black with no windows, I'll probably go back to the double walk through doors. I was not able to find any through Bricklink.

I added a couple additional smooth tiles with the single stud in the middle and it made mine sit flush. Thanks for the advice! I swapped the single stud 2 x 2 tiles and the 2 x 2 tiles from the center beam and moved the 2 x 4 tiles from the front. That helped a little. Mixel attack! It's good to know that more people are having the bowing problem with the roof besides me. Edited February 2, 2016 by JPN366 Quote
JPN366 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 While I appreciate the free replacement Slimer and free shipping, I'd really LOVE a tracking number. Sorry to vent... Quote
Sven F Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Not sure if this is really appropriate to post here, but I thought there'd be a lot of GB fans here who might like to know there's a neat t-shirt featured today on teefury. It's not that often I see GB geek junk. Quote
Cammo Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 A question to those who have the set: Does this fit into a standard Ikea Detolf Cabinet? Quote
JPN366 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 My frustration continues... it has been the 10 business days maximum to receive my replacement Slimer and I haven't gotten it. I called customer support and they said it should have been here. They're sending me another one and told me to keep the first one if I get it. The problem I have is that my address is exactly the same as another house a few streets over, the only difference is the words "Cove" and "Circle." Which are abbreviated "Cv" and "Cir." I have received small packages for the other address before and a book I ordered two years ago never arrived and I had to order it again. Quote

Especially if it's a few streets over. Quote

I sometimes get mail from the same house number in the street next to mine... but both streets have completely different unrelated names :D So I just go put their mail in their mailbox when it happens, hoping they do the same if the reverse situation happens :) Edited February 11, 2016 by antp Quote

The customer service rep I talked to changed the address on my VIP account and spelled out "Cove," so maybe that will help. Quote

You'll have to snap a picture of your Slimer army when you have all three of them together. Quote
