Thread updated with official pics from Lego's facebook page.

 

------------------

side note:  Makes me wonder if this film is set on the 1990s or so.  I'll look for more details to identity time period.

The Ecto rebootcar appears to be a 1984 Cadillac Superior Hearse model.

I found some film still pics of the car on the web and Paul's tweet and replies about his lego comment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

now since its a different car everyone will need both in their collection, or they will realize the new one sucks and must have the old one

Gee, they should have put a chrome frog as the hood ornament.

Brick separator included but no helicopter.....

I wish i had

There are spoilers in the picture of the set.  I noticed 1 important thing missing compared to the classic GB.  The question is if it is omitted or updated for the new movie  

My guess, $69.99

That's what most of us are banking on I think.

i have a feeling fans will buy these car and use the Ideas minifigs w/ it or stay with the older set.  at least the GB HQ comes with all the original figs.

Prince of Persia and The Lone Ranger both had cool sets but the themes bombed when the films did.  Lets see if the film succeeds.

Those stickers on the side of the car are going to be a pain in the rear to put on properly.

The more pics I see, maybe this movie is a reboot of the cartoon and not the films?

 

 

 

If you said that this pic is from remake of female version of 'the A-team', I'd believe you  looks like the A-team just broke out of jail with those jumpsuits and stripes...and it probably was Mrs. T that chewed through the bars

The A-Team eh, which one is B. A. Baracus?

Includes a motorbike, more common than the helicopter. There are bikes in friends, superheroes, ninjago, nexo knights, city etc.

so there will be a differente Ecto-1 and a brand new Ecto-2

Will this affect the value of the Ecto1 in the secondary market when there will be a old Ecto1 eol and a new Ecto1 on the shelves?

No, as the new Ecto-1 has women minifigs from the curent movie during the old Ecto-1 has the men minifigs from the old movie...

oh, sorry...I haven't read that the Ecto2 is a motorcycle

ok, all clear...no panic :-)

 

The old echo will do better than the New one. The new echo with the females is trying to aplease to today's generations. The old echo (in my point of view) will do better than the New one in the secondary market. 

 

 

The old ecto-1 most certainly will be hurt by the new ecto-1. Not saying it wont do well after retirement but the new ecto-1 will take at least SOME buyers.
