TheDarkness Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 In Brent Waller's defense, the red color was very striking and gave the structure a 'brand new' appearance as though it was given a fresh coat of paint. What Sergio Herencias did was better mimic the style from the movies essentially real life with a more worn down & faded look. Also I think orange still is not an easy color to acquire in the brick sizes right for constructing a building whereas red is. Either design choice is a 'win-win' depending on what you would like for your own display. I'm not sure which way to go myself if given the choice as they both look great. He answers a lot of questions on the Aussie Lego forums, happy to chat or answer questions. Maybe should get him an invite into here.

MartinP Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I still do not have one of these... should I start to worry? Limited production run? I wouldn't worry. I didn't hear about a limited production run for the Ecto-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I wouldn't worry. I didn't hear about a limited production run for the Ecto-1. I still do not have one of these... should I start to worry? Limited production run? Martin is right. The Mars Rover was labelled "Limited Quantity" in the catalog. The Ecto-1 didn't have any label that would suggest a limited run. I think it has a limited production run of 2.5 years. TBH all sets have limited production runs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it was just released, we should have time to at least get a couple within the year. TBH all sets have limited production runs.... Technically, yes. Some are just more limited than others.

"Celebrate 30 years of ghost-busting action" could in theory imply that it is single year run, similar to speculation for simpsons...

Don't panic, every shop in the UK appears to be selling these and most still have plenty of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just force select it like the Spider-Man poly and it will work Is that considered light or dark use of force ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2we_B6hDrY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a throat hug to me... Anyway, as long as there are no online coupons for TRU, it is better to find Ecto-1in store, since 20% off regular price applies.

TWO2SEVEN Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I am just getting back in to building. This set helped bring me back. In addition to TMNT toys, Ghostbusters and Legos were my biggest collections as a kid. I finally picked this up yesterday. It was a really fun build. Finally got some decent light. I moved the steering wheel to the side rather than the middle after seeing some others here do the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 As many are aware, it was reported the building instruction manual fell apart on many people. It was prob due to glue used and the binding process. TLG sent me 2 updated books. The revised manuals have wider bindings, slightly less cover gloss, and a different code on the back (ending now in 796 instead of 686). Attached are pics of two new books and 1 older one. The older book is in the middle. Notice even the cover picture has shifted on the new books.

Crustybeaver Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm going to be told this is in the wrong thread however a Lego employee just informed me that this set has a two year licence on it. Yeah I know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If that were the case, does that mean they can sell them for 2 years? Or produce them for 2 years (and sell them for as long as it takes to sell out)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergman Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nice compliment to the car if this comes to fruition, as it reached 10,000 votes. With the piece count, though, it won't be cheap but would totally buy this. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/60632 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
