Did anyone see this? A ghostbusters HQ set is rumored to be coming in 2016.

LEGO Ghostbusters fans are in for a real treat next year! Over on YouTube, Just2Good – one of the most reliable sources when it comes to early LEGO set news – has states that there will be a LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ set coming in 2016!

According to him, the set’s number will be 75827 and it will contain a whopping 4,600 pieces! Obviously, with such a high number of pieces comes a high price to pay. Just2Good stated that the Firehouse HQ will retail for a total of $350.00 USD. As for the release date, we should see this bad boy hitting the shelves on January 1st, 2016.

In regards to the actual set, we still dont know the finer details. We don’t know exactly which minifigures will be included, however, we do know that it will be based off the original film rather than the new movie that’s coming out next year.

Though details are lacking, I’m pretty sure many of you are quite hyped for this new set. As always, we should expect more details to come out the closer we get to the month of January. Perhaps, we might even get an early tease/look at the set at this year’s New York Comic Con which is going to be held between October 8-11.

new thread for GB HQ set? I think we have all derailed poor Ecto so much she deserves a rest for a while.....

Yes, the eternal sleep please!

Rumored Ghostbusters HQ - 75827 - OK, the thread move should be complete.

Really hope this is true and they are not remaking 10197! Hopefully there will be another new modular along too.

I'd be pissed if that was $350...

Interesting times ahead!

I was going to post it that way, but then I could have just made that URL up.

Here's OrionPax's version, which would be much more viable at that price point.

Wouldn't have stuck though... when you make up a URL under that sub folder it will put up a generic not found page instead of the product not available page.

ie. http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Death-Star-III-10888 isn't valid even though it's a well-formed URL.

I am pretty sure Ecto-2 was a helicopter in the cartoon series

The city advent calendars come with nicer ones.

I think this set is an attempt to make up for 10249...

I think a "Holy Crap!" is appropriate here. I had no idea...

People better boycott this one too then.

At least the toy had a handle for swooshing and trigger for rotating blades actions

I was into the Ghostbusters cartoon and comic books way back when.  I actually had no idea those were based on movies until much later  The cartoon Egon looked nothing like his movie counterpart

 

 

The one and only thing that interests me is if it comes with an Ecto-1 or not. 

 

In the one this person is selling it is not included.

I'll actually be kinda annoyed if they make this. Of all the popular licenses Lego has access to, they choose Ghostbusters to make a 4600 piece set?

...and I'm the opposite.  Watched the movies in the theater, was starting Jr. High when the cartoon was on.

And that's why in Ghostbusters 2, the car was "Ecto-1A."

1. If this is happening, we have no idea if the designer was paid or not paid for the idea.  I wouldn't be surprised if there was an NDA in place long before this, and payout to the designer already.  I'm sure there's some sort of language in the Ideas submission process to cover this.

2. Movie is being remade, so there's going to be some extra push on the franchise in 2016.  You can't argue that Ecto-1 isn't a popular set, so it makes a lot of sense if this does happen.

Well if the submitter got paid etc then no doubt you are correct.  I am saying if they didn't pay him and just blew him off and released this...they would be hearing from me.


I would never argue that Ecto -1 isn't a popular...who in their right mind would even say something so dumb.  People love Ghostbusters...
