Posted April 16, 201410 yr The follow up to my Ghostbusters: 30th Anniversary Project, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! This has been in progress since I finished the Ecto-1 last year but the Firehouse and lack of pieces prevented me from finishing it until recently. After a long wait for parts to arrive, only to discover I needed more, then wait again, he's finally complete! Larger pics on my Flickr Page Here Vote for it on CUUSOO Here
April 17, 201410 yr I'm going over there right now to support it. Edited April 17, 201410 yr by Legoman123
April 17, 201410 yr Supported as well! Not sure if LEGO will be willing to do a second set, it will probably depend purely on the sales of the Ecto-1. Edited April 17, 201410 yr by montyofmusic
April 17, 201410 yr I must say that is pretty awesome. It might be just a bit too large for Cuusoo though they seem to be all about smaller sets.
April 17, 201410 yr Lego. If you're reading this... ...PUT THIS AWESOME CREATION INTO PRODUCTION ASAP. OR SOONER!!! Edited April 17, 201410 yr by grum64
April 17, 201410 yr Awesome job! The ghosts are my favorite out of the whole movie and SPMM is one of my favorites! Keep up the outstanding work!
April 17, 201410 yr Absolutely amazing. I would so buy this. ....and this is why the Ecto-1 needs to sell so much that we get a whole theme.
April 17, 201410 yr Anyone who wants to see this (or any other Ghostbusters set) get made, BUY THE ECTO-1 :)
April 17, 201410 yr Holy mother of epicness, its absolutly awesome!!!! Holy mother of epicness, its absolutly awesome!!!!

I'll have to get back to you on that, I'll have to do a rough count without taking it apart. On 4/17/2014 at 3:11 PM, montyofmusic said: Supported as well!

Yeah I think it would be heavily dependant on the sales of Ecto-1 and I think the stay puft would most likely need to be scaled down too.
April 18, 201410 yr The members of BrisBricks are all hoping that we will be able to have WetWired show off the SPMM at our Pine Rivers Expo in early June. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing this in the flesh against the fire station and with the car in the front. If WetWired brings this to the Expo, it will certainly be a huge crowd pleaser. It certainly has attracted my vote; I wonder what other minifigs he has in mind?

No worries, If you make it just 25% less in every dimension, it will still be very big, and the price will be reduced by over 57%...! Or if you make it just 20% less in every dimension, the price will be reduced by almost 48%...! I think we've all seen how the cost increases/decreases cubically with 3-D models. Oh, hey, plus, When is the Ecto-1 car scheduled for release? Can't wait! Edited April 18, 201410 yr by The Real Indiana Jones

Oh, hey, plus, When is the Ecto-1 car scheduled for release? Can't wait! June it comes out. I did a very rough estimate tonight, it's around 1800 pieces. It sounds like a lot but some of that is due to parts where I could have used one piece but instead used 2 that were cheaper to achieve the same result, as you said, scaling it down would reduce it considerably, I think some of the legs and arms could be done with single larger cylindrical pieces and even the hands could be replaced with those 1 piece ones, that alone would save about 50 pieces.
