Ecto-1 will be hoarded in far greater quantities, mainly on the back of 21103's success. I don't think many realized just how popular the Delorean would be. It's nuts to think how a set that was pretty much always discounted came to the lofty heights it did last year. I was being totally sarcastic and i think the delorean was highly hoarded - at least it was by me i had 3 dozen and i'm just a small timer. i'm up to 4 dozen ecto. i think any movie based theme is automatically being hoarded, especially a successful movie with the fanbase of Back To The Future. All the hoarding protagonists always ignore the demand side of the equation which we have to guess at. With movies, you have a proven commodity - at least with films like Back to the future, ghostbusters, star wars, Jurassic world - you're dealing with blockbusters. then you get sets like Prince of Persia, Lone Ranger which were total box office flops and you know that the sets are probably not going to do well. Based on the previous incarnation of ghostbusters and the reboot coming up this summer the demand will see a bump. it's just a matter now of when the retirement happens. or doesn't happen.

Crustybeaver Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Forget the counterfeit figures, $130 for a light up kit! The cars not even included for that price, someones clearly having a bubble bath. Quote

Sauromosis Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Good news. Can't see classic gb fans wanting that Ecto. Leslie Jones should have been a maxi fig like those old castle trolls. 3 Quote

rebuild Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The set is named Ecto-1&2? It builds in to both the original and the new car? Quote
thegooch49 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I wonder if it will fit into GBHQ without having to remove parts from the garage area. Quote

AFOL Pedro Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I see no reason why to keep both Ecto sets on store shelves, but I'm not LEGO soo.. 1 Quote

Freyke Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I don't like this model. The first onze looks better... Quote
Calli Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 What are the odds it will be retired before the new one comes out? Quote
Val-E Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Low. Edited February 5, 2016 by Val-E Quote
jaisonline Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 31 minutes ago, Calli said: What are the odds it will be retired before the new one comes out? prob good. it's no longer needed. if star wars taught us anything with the MF, x-wing, tie-fighter, and now the death star....lego doesn't mind leaving shelves empty for 6+ months before new sets (refreshes) arrive for a film. now if 21108 is a slow seller, it could remain on available until the film arrives but i think the set is still popular. 1 Quote
