labfreak7 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I think they may have produced more of these than the Delorean. Like I said in my earlier post,lots of people were buying them at my local Lego store, but they kept replenishing stock. They must have had cases and cases of them.

jaisonline Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I will probably use some of the ghosts that I have that are from older castle sets. They will go great with the Ecto 1. Maybe I can have the ghost haunting the GE and have the ghostbusters come in and eradicate the ghost. Yup. I bought picked up a couple of sets. One will be built name paired with my Monster Fighter sets. Boo-ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesman888 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just went to the Lego store in Glendale, CA... and only 1 per person and there was a long line even at 11am... Did not get the balloon stand poly... sucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Food for thought...If the Ecto-1 is an "exclusive," why would it be discounted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Food for thought...If the Ecto-1 is an "exclusive," why would it be discounted? Because we are all used to getting Lego sets at a discount one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I think a lot of people have the mind set from years past when EVERY set was discounted at some point. Those days are behind us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melting Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Picked up 2 Ecto sets. Had $30 VIP points from GE sets, plus free shipping, and free balloon stand. Good deal IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Also with discounts, if the set is $50 and you can sell the Balloon polybag for $15ish, that`s like getting 30% back, not to mention VIP points. If you want the set, buy it now, unless you are stockpiling, which after thinking about it last night, I don`t think is the worst decision you could make. Buy the end, add some filler (perhaps simpsons figures?) sell the polybag and figures to recoup cost, then stash set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that balloon stand will hold its value, once resellers start listing them. Don't forget fees and shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 What's the last exclusive to be discounted? If it remains to be marked as exclusive, and Lego would actually mean it, then discount gift cards are the best bet. Plus, it is not clear if TRU is going to mark it HTF or hot price right away. There could be a window of opportunity. I am confused why TRU did not list online yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty lame.....a freebie nonetheless. Fair point, how low would you guys expect it to drop? Surely not lower than $10? Guess it will depend on how many will flood the market. For those who have hotdog stands left from last year, it could be a decent bundle offer as well. Even if you net $10 for it, that would be 20% off, plus 5% VIP. Haha, everyone`s got there own thoughts, and honestly I think it just comes down to what you (personally) would prefer to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 And you have to buy two ectos to get freebie Either that or $25 worth of filler. If you`re Canada it`s $15, but that means to get a smaller discount on the Ecto-1 when you account for inflated prices. Guess we have to figure out what the likelihood of a discount is?

Granted, the BTTF set seems to be a slow seller due to the design :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless some exclusives are more exlusive than other exclusives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen9917 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Wow with it available from so many other retailers it is certainly more like a delorean than nasa rover. If it hits the bn local store it's relatively easy to score some with good discount. I don't see the reason to stock up now with msrp.
