No offense, but I have no clue what the **** a Val-E is....

LMAO!!!

[HandyHand]

I guess every LEGO region deserves their own Val-E, and it looks like ironbrick is vying for that position in the Americas while our Val-E is of course the one for Europe.

Agreed, but OOS @ LEGO Shop at Home atm and 2x, $30 for free shipping weren't on the table 2 mo. ago.

Shop has this listed as "Coming soon"

[biking_tiger]

Someone flipped the switch on the wrong Ecto. 

[Lordoflego]

Maybe they meant retiring soon?...

No surprises here. Just summer interns' first day on the job.

Looks like they had one returning from last year who finally finished his 2015 assignment to update Red 5 as retired.

Let's give this new round of interns a chance. Can't be worse than last year's group who designed the Assualt on Hoth.

I believe it is on its way out. German shops are selling it now for 70 euro. That is 20 euro above RRP. If they have it.

Yes been watching, its gone from available > out of stock and available on 22nd june > out of stock > out of stock until 17th june > in stock.

Sounds like they've had quite a high demand and turned the tools back on, understandable until the new film is launched

Good to know. Luckily I bought some for 35 Euro. However, I gave one to my father as a birthday present. He was very delighted

back on the argos website, i have not seen it on there for a long time, although its not instock near me. Could be someone put the wrong ecto 1 up or argos are getting some more.

I'm thinking, I don't think this is going away. They just started a "new" Ghostbusters theme. They can keep them side by side. I think I now need to puke...

[johnwray]

My two cents:

There's a war going on between the original Ghostbusters film and the new one, and it's gotten ugly. Sony has a LOT riding on the success of GB 2016, so my guess is that they won't renew the Ecto-1 license for fear that it will fuel nostalgia and weaken their attempts to establish a new franchise.

It's outta here.

Sony should prepare to be disappointed, then.  ;-)

Stocks appear lower in stores. 

A famous French store has only 10 on their website (but 121 Wall-e !!)

[dcdfan]

Yup. Still available everywhere.

[biking_tiger]

I'll have plenty for the 50th anniversary, though.
