Any thoughts on how well this wills sell? Im just curious to see if anyone thinks it will be around next week for VIP wknd?

I'm sure the first batch will sell out and put the set on backorder for the VIP weekend. But... if you order 10274 plus a small other set, then you should get the small set plus the promo's already mailed to you while awaiting new stock on the 10274 set.

Was hoping this would be available for the Dicken's and Green Brick promo on 11/21, but with a release date of 11/15, I don't think it will last until then.

Launches in a couple days with no leaked info about a GWP... so i’m guessing no GWP then??

Read about a free poster comes with the new ecto!

21108 (aka smaller one) is creeping around the $150 threshold on ebay

Interesting how in North America the poster promo banner does not show up with the ECTO but it does show for Europe.  I wonder if we will get that poster? likely... but just wondering... after staying up until 4am for 77904 i’m pretty wiped out... oh well... might as well stay up till midnight and click on it and see what gets added into my cart...

[Bricks Eh]

Gonna watch original Ghostbusters on netflix tonight while i’m waiting for midnight... Anyone else gonna hit that up?

[sodoubleoggood]

I'm not a huge reseller like everyone here, primarily a collector and maybe get 1-2 extra to make a few bucks.  I feel like I always wait for midnight and the item doesn't sell out or it's readily available for a short time after and I miss out on an opportunity to pair it with a decent GWP.  This and the Home Alone house are really the only things I want through the holiday season. Do we think this goes OOS tonight / today?

[sodoubleoggood]

It's up a few minutes early ya'll....

It's hard to say because people know about the double VIP and GWP coming up, so they may try waiting on this purchase. We also don't know how much stock is available. If you really want it this holiday season, may as well pick it up now so you don't kick yourself later.

I've decided to pick one up now, and if available next week, grab another (since the limit is 2) and return the first order in store so I can capitalize on the GWPs but I think it won't be available next week.

I'm defiantly waiting. Will it be in stock after the rest of Europe have finished with it on the weekend is another matter.

No real gwp - I get to save some $$$, for now.

[Klownicle]

Went to pick up at local Lego store, I too may return next week.  Lol. I hadn't yet built my ghostbusters forestation so perhaps I'll build that instead.  But in regards to people at the store for open, there was only one other person picking up.  Two local stores had 15 each.  By the time things settled down (an hour later), one store had 5 left and the other had 10.

Initial appearance looks like people are trying to wait.

Hopefully everyone waits... one more week and we all get double VIP, dickens, and a buildable brick =P

I would expect that they might pull the listing when the deals go into effect.

How long do people think that the promos will remain available. What's everyone's best guess?

I'm predicting the site crashes, promo doesn't show up. When it appears it will last less than a day.

Site won’t crash for VIP weekend... maybe black friday... but it has been good lately so i think they fixed those crashing issues...  

I think promos will last the whole weekend as it’s a high threshold...

They could conceivably exclude it from promos. They've done that before with other new releases... kinda low IMHO. Also they often exclude the Falcon, SD, and other high end sets from VIP bonus sometimes.

I think you may underestimate how popular this gwp will be. I don't think it will last the weekend. Certain posts in the UK recently have shown just how many people are interested, alot more will be taking part then other years not only due to the promo but also due to lockdown rules and alot waiting to purchase certain sets.

Other GWP posters, stickers and keychains proven not to be very valuable. 

Add to that, the Ecto-1 after 24hr is not even in backorder and poster still available. 

I pre-ordered the Ecto-1 at Amazon last week for 135 euro. That's probably the best Ecto-1 deal of 2020.
