pittpenguin123 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 One set. Speaking of which, what does the box look like? Anyone have a picture? We can only hope there will be only one set. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Indeed. For that matter, we don't know that it'll be a bad movie, either. The trailer wasn't great, but the movie has potential. That said, it's kind of unusual for them to do just one set for a new movie in some franchise they have a theme around (though I guess technically it won't be just one, since there are also the LEGO Dimensions sets).

Nothing but idle speculation here, but it's possible that part of the deal for getting the rights to do the Firehouse involved agreeing to put out a set for the new movie. And after the debacle that was The Hobbit, I can appreciate Lego's reluctance to go all-in on an unproven sequel to a wildly successful franchise. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 The major debacle with The Hobbit was that what were initially supposed to be two movies suddenly turned into three late in the production, with scenes on which sets were based that were originally going to be in the first suddenly going into the second. There's no danger of that with Ghostbusters. And whatever one thinks of Ghostbusters 2016's prospects, I don't see any reason for TLG to treat it more cautiously than Speed Racer, The Lone Ranger, or The Angry Birds Movie. I suspect the reason there's apparently just the one non-Dimensions set for this new movie is because new continuity or not, it's still part of the same overall theme / franchise / license as the original Ghostbusters, and that just got a mammoth set that all by itself is like a whole theme's worth of brick content for some lesser franchise. TLG may well just not want to release over half a thousand dollars' worth of set in one year for a licensed theme that's not Star Wars. Quote
deskp Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Some movies only need one set, this set seems perfect, has all the main characters and the main vehicle. its one great set that really seems to represent the movie well. They stretched scooby doo into several sets but im sure ALOT of people would have been perfectly fine with just the mystery machine and the gang. The rest is just filler. Had the 1 set exluded one of the MAIN characters it woulda been an issue just having 1 set tho. Quote
just2good Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 For those of you like me, wanting the Chinese Restaurant HQ, you'll get a taste of it. All I can say for now. Quote
Fightingswords Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) For those of you like me, wanting the Chinese Restaurant HQ, you'll get a taste of it. All I can say for now. So a bunch of Chinese food cartons (like TBBT set)? Edited May 6, 2016 by Fightingswords Quote
CM4Sci Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Ghostbusters fight the giant Chinese food monster? Think you can get the box photos for the Ecto-1 & 2 set? Curious to see what it looks like. Quote
HawkLord Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 That's great news - it shows some faith in the license, which it deserves. Given that it sounds like a smallish version of the actually HQ, I'm betting it'll include Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig's characters. Quote
just2good Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 Can't get a box of the HQ- though I want to see that too! And, not really smallish version. More like Facade. New version of Melissa. Quote
TheBrickPal Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Is there a set number and/or an official name for the set? Quote
just2good Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 Is there a set number and/or an official name for the set? No. Quote
Ookami Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 For those of you like me, wanting the Chinese Restaurant HQ, you'll get a taste of it. All I can say for now. Will there be only two sets or can we hope for more? Quote
just2good Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 Will there be only two sets or can we hope for more? Only two I know of. Quote
HawkLord Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 If it's a facade, I'm betting it'll be like the Marvel Daily Bugle set. Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Can't see the HQ set being very popular. I doubt it'll be as iconic as the firehouse. Quote
just2good Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 If it's a facade, I'm betting it'll be like the Marvel Daily Bugle set. Less than a facade. Literally just a wall with some design. A new type of set. Okay, that's as far as I can go. Quote
Actor Builder Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Less than a facade. Literally just a wall with some design. A new type of set. Okay, that's as far as I can go. That sounds hilarious. "Welcome to our headquarters!" "Wait...I thought we just went inside" "Yet we're still outside...Let's try again!" "Aaaand we're back where we started." Quote
DD840 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Maybe a possessed Melissa? Chris Helmsworth? I'm intrigued but will keep my expectations low. Quote
CM4Sci Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I just hope one of the new Dimensions packs is the Rowan's Ghost guy, I want him as a minifigure. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I just hope one of the new Dimensions packs is the Rowan's Ghost guy, I want him as a minifigure. That would be flipping amazing. Quote
