Crustybeaver Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Anybody think the Ecto-1 will fit in there? Looks like it might. Door looks to be about 10 stud width, about the same as an Ecto-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickStanley74 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 1 hour ago, mfortunek said: I'll bet it ends up being very cool, and I'm not one to complain really, but my only thought is whether they could have used a slightly different red brick color so that it didn't look exactly like the FB. If they are asking $350 for this set (which is what it sounds like), couldn't we have gotten a rare new color brick? Something to really elevate the value of this set? More of a burnt orange color like the previous photos that were floating around online. That would really soften the price tag for buyers, in my opinion. I think you'll find that LEGO, with their evident disdain for anything that benefits the reseller model, care very little about elevating the value of a particular set.

biking_tiger Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Between this, CMF 14, and the Fall 2015 Ninjago wave, it's good to see TLG really getting some mileage out of the banshee/ghost/specter tail/leg mold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevink24 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) The building looks good, I like it... wondering how people will react vs. Fire Brigade 10197 at roughly the same price (if $350 price is true), now that they have seen the actual fire station. Of course we all have to see the inside before making full judgement. Thinking out loud: Maybe it is time for those with 10197 to sell sooner, rather than later...(my thinking could be wrong, feel free to disagree).

I doubt this will have any impact on sales of 10197, completionists will want to collect all modulars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome minifigs, although I don't like the slimerversion and I'm not sure about Janine... she is the version from the first movie but her hairpiece looks odd and only looking at the picture in large allowed me to see that it's her and not some random guy.

Well I hope you're wrong because I still hold some of them that I bought post EOL ;-) I guess there'll always be collectors for the original modulars though. But that has been my exact thought when I heard about the GBHQ for the first time. They look different enough though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabslayerT Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Has anyone noticed the "pink ooze" bubbling up from the sidewalk at the side of the building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickDesign Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Incredible set. Looks amazing. Unfortunately, from my perspective, it seems that the Ghostbusters sign is a sticker. Lets hope there aren't too many stickers in this set. Otherwise, a truly awe-inspiring set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10230 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 A sort-of nice building, but $350, seriously? Maybe half of that, or a little more due to the figs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe half of that, or a little more due to the figs. 350/4200 = 0,083333 So the price per piece is VERY LOW at 8cent It sure includes many small pieces. To compare it to another set: Helicarrier comes with 2996 pieces at 350(€) which is 0,1168... so almost 12cent per piece. Didn't hear that much complaining about the Helicarrier price. By the way: "Maybe half of that, or a little more due to the figs". Would be like 180 --> ca. 4 cent per piece... now we're getting a little bit unrealistic aren't we?

Darth_Raichu Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The Gb sign, firehouse / address sign, building plaque by the door, and One way traffic sign are stickers The white on blue circle tiles might be stickers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I agree when it comes to disliking stickers: Why? There really is no other reason than your(our) convenience. TripleE shouldn't have come with stickers! UCS TIE-Fighter shouldn't have come with stickers! I'm pretty happy that LEGO sticks to their non-sticker policy when it comes to ideas sets. But as I pointed out with the price: As for price per piece it is very low and thus you could almost be happy about it. The DS comes with 3803 pieces!!! So the price has nothing to do with stickers and having this disjointedness I'd say that your remark (as much as I share the thought!) is not justified. Also: There probably are not that many stickers and - I only can guess here- I think it would have been more expensive if LEGO had opted for the non-sticker version. I take 350 sticker-version before 400 non-sticker any time. Edited October 27, 2015 by Locutus001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty happy that LEGO sticks to their non-sticker policy when it comes to ideas sets. TripleE and Tie Fighter don't cost $350. I understand your point but if they are doing a premier high dollar set like this it's just a little tacky that it comes with a sticker sheet. The printed pieces are so much nicer than the stickers it just would make the set even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
