June 12, 20168 yr Author I think this was the Chinese Headquarters Just2good was talking about. It 100% is.
June 12, 20168 yr We're getting her in a later pack. Her Dimensions minifigure was accidentally included among the pictures for the Ecto-1 & 2 set (in the Ecto set, she has googles, in the Dimensions set, she has glasses). We don't know it was a Dimensions minifigure. It could be an alternate head and torso in this set.
June 19, 20168 yr Anybody see the new Ecto 1 showing up early anywhere on store shelves? Its getting pretty close.
June 19, 20168 yr Will they retire the original Ecto-1? Having two on the shelves seems a bit unusual.
June 19, 20168 yr We don't know it was a Dimensions minifigure. It could be an alternate head and torso in this set. It's not, as I stated a little while ago. I have this set (my review got a little delayed because of computer troubles, but it's coming).
June 19, 20168 yr Will they retire the original Ecto-1? Having two on the shelves seems a bit unusual. Theyve had two minifigure-scale versions of an AT-AT out at the same time before, and those were much larger and more expensive sets of the exact same vehicle, while these two are at least different. That said, the original could go at any time now, anyway - it's over two years old now, after all. But I think most Ghostbusters fans, even those who aren't rabidly opposed to the new movie, consider the original car the most classic and iconic. I'm sure TLG is aware of this, and probably expects to sell more of the original Ectomobile than the new one, even if the new movie is well-received.
June 19, 20168 yr Anybody see the new Ecto 1 showing up early anywhere on store shelves? Its getting pretty close. Just2good picked it up the other day. I saw it on his Instagram feed.
June 20, 20168 yr I saw someone post it on Reddit the other day, the store was charging about $80 I think he said. Start calling your TRUs I suppose. Edited June 20, 20168 yr by CM4Sci
June 20, 20168 yr Author I got this from eBay actually. Heard it's at LEGOLand stores; I took TONS of pictures and I have to go right now, so I'll be posting a full, in depth review probably in a separate topic tonight. We'll see.
June 21, 20168 yr Author My review is finally up. Woohoo! Well, glad I didn't start writing my own pictorial review! You blew it out of the water!
June 30, 20168 yr Has anyone managed to pick this up yesterday or today? Release is tomorrow. Nothing online on any sites..
June 30, 20168 yr The set is available in Smyths now in Ireland (and I assume the UK too), I saw it in-store the other day.
July 1, 20168 yr Available to buy! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ecto-1-2-75828?p=75828 Thanks for the link! For some reason it doesn't show up when searching on the site. I just finished building the firehouse and classic Ecto-1 a couple of days ago and can't wait to add this set.
July 1, 20168 yr Available to buy! http://shop.lego.com...2-75828?p=75828 Wow, wasn't expecting it to be as cheap as £50. That's better value than the 1984 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set.
July 5, 20168 yr ...If these sets at least sell well, maybe we'll get some stuff based on the cartoon. I'm just hoping for the best here, I had a nerd freak out when I saw some older figures at a local antique shop the other day. Needless to say I now own "The real Ghostbusters" again.

July 8, 20168 yr Does anyone know any leaks from more Ghostbusters sets? I`ve heard there was supposed to be a Hotel set a long time back in January from another site but wasn`t sure if that was from Ghostbusters 2016 or the classic Ghostbusters with Slimer "haunting" the place...
July 8, 20168 yr So, not to be a downer, but I just found a local Target has already put the all the Ghostbusters 2016 toys on clearance. Not marked down for a sale, but actually marked with the red clearance stickers. Discounts seemed to be around 33% off or more. This is shocking, because as a toy collector, I've never seen a movie line of toys clearanced before the movie even hit theaters. I have seen sales, but nothing like this. It looks like at least this one Target store is bailing on the line before it even starts. I mention this here, because it may be possible to find the new Ecto-1 on clearance.
July 9, 20168 yr Got the Ecto yesterday. So much SNOT! So much that it's disgusting. It's a very nice set. I built it at the time the Disney Castle stuff was happening so I had to take a few.. long breaks.. The build was really awesome, a lot of new pieces, some surprises and then of course the figures! Amazing designs and such. Now to put it on the shelf next to the IDEAS Ecto and the Firehouse!
