I looked it up. 

At the end of May 2015 there were 68,321 units sold.

drop in the ocean, glad it's under 100k

Is that sales for the month of since the set has been in production? How does that number compare to previous Ideas set, say RI etc?

Don't push it now.

if that # is real, RI would have to be way less.

I actually have no idea how many ecto's have been sold. And I guess only a few souls on this planet know. I think at least one. Cause that is how many I have.

Why am I not surprise you are holding that many when there are still plenty more available at the Lego stores

I bought a new one with no box recently. So I thought I would build it. It's a good small build, quite fiddly in some ways. It took approx 90 mins. 

it's a nice looking set, better proportioned than the Delorean. 

Now that the Exo Suit is retiring now which was released at a similar time I wonder how long this has to go.

New Ghostbusters Movie Ecto-1 Revealed

may just be the nostalgia talking but it seems like they tried a little too hard to match the original, and it ended up being nowhere near a cool.

I think this is far better than what I expected, which was THE 2016 BUICK REGAL ECTO 1 - MAX SPONSOR EDITION. At least they did something slightly different vs. selling out.

Interesting. That car would have been near new when the original movie was released. Now it's probably a similar to the original Ecto-1. 

I thought this this movie was a continuation, not a reboot. So shouldn't it be Ecto-2.

That Ecto-1 will be destroyed within 30 minutes of the movie and the girls will be driving much cooler Ecto-2 by the end of the movie

The original 1959 Cadillac had so many classy curves I find it difficult to see anything else take place of the spirit sapping Ecto-1 and this replacement seems a bit on the 'regal' side and rather boxy but I know better than to judge before seeing the vehicle in action so I will wait for something more substantial like a teaser clip or similar.

I really hope people part out the dimension packs because I want Slimer and the Marshmallow Man.

These will finally get me to build an Ecto-1 and put it on display. Awesome!

I dig the demon dog too.  Are the horns a new or existing part?

They look new to me. The demon dog is much cooler than the slime gun or whatever.

The level pack is neat (http://brickset.com/sets/71228-1) but that car is screaming "complete me."

Yep, that partial Ecto-1 is quite bizarre.

Stay Puft and Terror Dog are money! I don't play video games but I need that set. I'm sure my wife is going to want a Stay Puft too. What's the rumored pricing on these Fun Packs? $30? I hope not. 

Not sure if anyone's noticed yet, but it looks like Venkman has printed arms--GB logo on the right arm and a pocket on the left. People are going to want four Venkmans so that they can put the correct arms on all of the figs from the Ecto-1 set.

IIRC, Fun packs are $14.99 & Level Packs are $29.99

Pretty sure those horns on the terror dog were also on the cow skull in Silver Mine from Lone Ranger.  As for these packs?  Pure gold.  Everyone that has an Ecto-1, and even those that don't yet that are fans are going to want Slimer and Stay Puft. Are you kidding me?  Stay Puft Marshmallow Man as a minifig?   Awesome.

Man I hope the game is fun to play. These are going to be huge for Christmas if it is.
