Kretnica Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Looks neat ! I'm loving the minifigs. I'm wondering if this is a LEGO exclusive or will it be sold in random brick and mortar stores.. Quote

8BrickMario Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I imagine it's just a promotional announcement. The Mystery Mansion got a press release, but it was available everywhere with the rest of the sets. This should be no different, as it doesn't fit the typical D2C bill. Quote
just2good Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 I heard it has a limited release, like a D2C. Probably will hit Toys"R"Us as well, like the ECTO-1 did on release. For me at least. Quote
Kintobor Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I had no doubt that this set would deliver, and it did. Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones' hair pieces look phenomenal, the Ecto-1 looks like an overall improvement from the last set to feature the vehicle, and the inclusion of Chris Hemsworth, the bike, and the ghost are really nice. Loving the mini figure heads, too. I can think of a lot of uses for them. Quote
just2good Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Is Melissa Mccarthy's hair piece new, or is it just Padme's? Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Such an amazing set - that's D2C quality there. Lego have thrown everything at this - from the playability, extras, detailed figures - very pleasing Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Is Melissa Mccarthy's hair piece new, or is it just Padme's? Yates, Holtzmann, and Tollan's hair are all new pieces! So yes! Quote
deskp Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Damnit, Did lego mix up the collar flaps wrong on 3 of the characters. http://cdn1-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/gallery/ghostbusters-2016/ghostbusters2016.jpg Edited February 5, 2016 by deskp Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Well, at least there's something to complain about...heaven forbid we enjoy a set. Edited February 5, 2016 by 8BrickMario Quote
HawkLord Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 That pic isn't even matching up the minifigure with the right Ghostbusters character. :P Quote
deskp Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 That pic isn't even matching up the minifigure with the right Ghostbusters character. :P My point is the colors are on the wrong characters, I matched up the collars. Quote
anothergol Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I don't care for the movie/car, BUT am I really seeing a 2x2 wedge plate there? That's the part that Lego should have been producing since the 80's! Quote
x105Black Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Happy to see that they didn't go with minidolls. I almost expected them to do that. Not a bad looking set overall, but the monster looks kind of silly with the red arms and head piece on a trans black body and head. Still, nice to see the CMF Gargoyle's pieces in new variations.

Tariq j Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 My point is the colors are on the wrong characters, I matched up the collars. Does it really matter? I don't think people would be too concerned if a collar flap is down instead of up... In any case, the set looks very good, the hairpieces are a welcome addition. Quote

Looking again, I have to agree. At least painting the ears or horns dark grey would have helped. We'll have to see the demon's design in the film (if it's even in the film) to be sure. Quote
1974 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Does it really matter? I don't think people would be too concerned if a collar flap is down instead of up... TLG decided to make a bunch of new torso prints = expensive = important This IP is only for old nerds, so they'l notice ;) Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Holy smokes, this looks great And it came out of nowhere too, I really didn't expect an official reveal like that this soon Definitely a must-buy! Quote

1974 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 No, but a major point for LEGO collectors and this a LEGO nerd site, not a movie review site, mate . Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Chris Hemsworth or Philip Seymour Hoffman? Quote
x105Black Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The collars not matching is kind of an oversight, but not a big deal. I'm wondering where this alternate torso appears: Looking at the minifigures in the set image, I don't see that strap. Quote
Felkin Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hey, the blonde lady gets two torsos; one with the belt and one without. She may actually get another head too-- one photo shows a head with no glasses whatsoever. Strange. Might there be a second set? Or a Dimensions pack; they have the license, so it makes sense the new Ghostbusters could appear in the game. Quote

They're being super nice people and including almost 2 versions of her - Might there be a second set?
