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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted February 5, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
