Ideas #006: 21108 - Ghostbusters Ecto-1

[Val-E]

A lot of people who are not hardcore fans of the franchise don´t necessarily associate Bill Murray with GB or even remember he was in it and he has done a lot of more interesting films since then whereas it was Michael J Fox´s career highlight.

What makes you state that?

I know how sceptic you are about the Ecto-1. But this is too far fetched.

Of course they don't associate Bill Murray with Ghostbusters.

 

Hang on, where's the sarcasm button.

Honestly, when I hear "Bill Murray" I think of his hilarious cameo in Zombieland; not Ghostbusters.

If you asked me who played in Ghostbusters, Murray would be my first response. But for me personally, Murray = hilarious scene in Zombieland.

True that. As I kid, I wanted to BE Bill Murray... Stripes, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters. And I was 9 when Ghostbusters hit the big screen. 

[exciter1]

Caddyshack is always my first thought when it comes to Bill Murray.  Ghostbusters reminds me of Stay Puft.

Groundhog day. 

I always think of Harold Ramis in GB, but i was a geeky kid.

I always think of Ned Ryerson when anybody mentions Groundhog Day.

Haha, if the number in your screenname is a reference to the year you were born in, then it's you who is the young punk.

GB franchise was no way  his career high point and I challenge anyone to defend that it was - it might have been for the  guy that played Zeddemore or even for Ray Parker Junior...

Nothing to do with the Lego sets worth, BTW, they just aren´t that good films in the global scheme of things and look really dated now IMHO.

''He slimed me"

and 

'We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass!'.

Murray had all the best lines in it.

He was cool in Zombieland. He's an extremely popular actor. He's done a variety of stuff, but I mostly like him for his deadpan comic style. I know Garfield sucked, but I can't think of a better actor to the voice of that cat. I digress....

I reckon anyone born in the US/Canada/Aus/UK between 1960 and 1980 would definitely associate him with GB (or perhaps Groundhog Day) the most. 

 

I reckon Ecto will do very well in the secondary market . As long as TLG pull the plug on it earlier rather than later 

[Val-E]

Don´t forget Caddyshack, Rushmore, Kingpin, Lost in Translation and The Life Aquatic. And in the one with Denise Richards taking her top off he was still the second best thing in the film.

[Ciglione]

I was more for Neve Campbell. I did not even notice Bill Murray was in that movie.

 What's the name of that film?........Come on, you can't leave people hanging like that.

I assume he's talking about Sex Crimes. Although that movie was released under another name in the US because, clearly, people in the US can't handle a title like that

Where'd you get that discount if you don't mind me asking

Asda Direct (George) applying a £20 discount to Lego orders over £100. So ten orders of 3 each with 6% cashback works out at 33% discount. It's worth noting that when I placed my previous order through Asda they sent the Ecto-1's in their official Lego boxes (3 to a box)

Me too, but she didn´t take her top off in that scene, or at least Denise´s bits covered the complete lens. Wild Things. yeah, that was it.

Can you explain the math here, I've already bought some this way and I had the discount at 26% ?

RRP 44.99

Asda 41.97 x 3 = 125.91 - 20 = 105.91 - 6% = 99.55  / 3 = 33.18 each

saving 11.80 on rrp which is 26 % ?

Good spot, I was working out the percentage against a retail price of £49.99 not £44.99
