Looks like we'll be getting this sorta stay puft-ish baddie in 2016 Lego form (if this info is correct).   Maybe it will be a female villain.  Regardless of the film, it should be a decent maxi-figure  

 

It looks like one of Casper's naughty ghost brothers

i dunno folks.  the more i learn about this film, the less i'm likely going to view it at a theater and more i think the Lego theme won't be around too long if many of the sets center around this film.

as a father of a daughter, i don't even care about the all female cast.  that's a good idea.   but come one.. a nerdy Thor ? seriously?   that would be like having a nerdy kelly lebrock or christy brinkley in the first film.  heck, a James Bond film tried taking a "voted most beautiful person"...that experiement failed.

It will be and has..

I bought the Ghostbusters HQ on New Year's Day to see what I could get by doing a quick flip.  I posted it on Offer Up and ended up trading with another collector..

This was back in January and here's how I did:

My Ghostbusters HQ and $100 for his 2  Red 5's

and his New Falcon. I filliped the Falcon for $140 so that means I just scored 2 red 5's for around $210..Not bad for a noob

Now long term...3rd largest Lego Set and from the reviews I've read pretty challenging and fun build.

The question is at what rate will this go up after being retired down the road..

 I would pick one up when Lego has the double points or right before it retires, it may go on a bigger promo..really depends on the success of the movie. IMO

You need to ask the question "What do you think it will be worth a year after it _retires_?" ... and then we move your question and answers to the "Retirement Speculation" thread and everyone tells you that you need patience.

According to that tweet about the main villain... we share the same name! Cool!

I feel you may not know how this whole LEGO investing thing we do here works...........if I were you I would spend a few weeks reading this forum and then start posting. Just a friendly suggestion.

There is nothing to see.......a year from now it will be worth MSRP,  possibly even less.

Now you're diving into the life expectancy of a set. This set was just released this January... the chance of it being retired in a year is basically none. How long sets live on the shelves is a part of the game - some unexpectedly exit (see Town Hall, Arctic Supply Plane), some have predictable life spans (many City sets such as police and fire stations and most Technic sets [2 years]), some are impossible to predict and break all the rules (T1, Death Star).

But this set isn't going anywhere for at least a couple years. The big ones like this rarely disappear without notice (i.e. going in and out of stock).

$350+$100-$140 = $310 for 2 Red 5's.

Still--not bad at all.

Here is the first trailer.

You know you're a little bit curious.  Right now there are more thumbs down than up on Youtube, I guess that's what you get for messing with people's childhood.

I'm very jaded.  Just about the only remakes I've watched are "Judge Dredd", "Mad Max" and "Fright Night".

For 80's crazy nostalgia, I do recommend "Turbo Kid".

Fury Road was well done.  I enjoyed it a lot.  Generally I'm not a proponent of re-makes and don't think this will be any good even though Melissa McCarthy makes me laugh.

They are remaking "Bachelor Party", which makes me sick.  The first "The Hangover" was good enough.
