Well that's just stunning, and we haven't even seen the interior yet.

[Jordin]

I will have to replace that black front door though.

[pyhasanon]

It was black in the original movie...

[GBTTF123]

Fantastic. Starting my first big girl job soon. Definitely snagging a preorder soon can't wait for the possibility of new scenes with my LEGO ecto!

the red bricks bug me. the real ny firehouse has red bricks. in the movie they were dark brown or black.

True, that does kind of suck but not the end of the world for me. If you mixed in some diff color bricks you might achieve the right effect without a lot of effort.

[Kingpin]

Guess it's the Ghostbusters II Firehouse, before they replaced the sign. (It even has the red lights that weren't around in 1984)

[Jordin]

I know but my ideal firehouse is a kind of blend between them all movies, cartoons, etc. I'd just like to have a red one is all.

Looks great but still expensive for the average gb fan.

Nice pic showing all of the minifigs and ghosts.



We've been analyzing these pics to death over on p.14 of this thread...

We'd hoped the blue and pink ghosts would be the Subway Ghost and the Theatre Ghost, both of whom show up in Lego Dimensions as unique sculpted bricks.

But it looks like they opted just to reuse a Ninjago mold called "Skreemer" from earlier this year.

That is a thing of beauty. **wipes away single tear from eye**

*must*have*one* !!!

[JayTigran]

any shots of the inside yet?

[Kingpin]

Not that I've seen so far. It's strange that we haven't seen the interior yet.

[Tyrael]

Words cannot describe how much I want this. Unfortunately, the price tag is just way too high.

There is so much win packed into that Firehouse.

[fearless-freak]

i know, sadly i'm unemployed and it'd take me ages to save for this

[Belmont78]

granted its big as hell for the money you pay. but i still feel it's pricey. same with the ecto-1. its plastic people. i don't remember when i was a kid lego costing thiis much. i'd be afraid to take it out of box.

[Kingpin]

Chances are LEGO didn't cost this much per brick as it did when you and I were younger, the problem is to make plastic you need oil, and as we've seen with car petrol/gasoline prices, it's all been going up - one of the prime reasons for that is oil is a finite resource, and growing more and more tricky to farm in the levels we need.

[pyhasanon]

From what I remember, Lego was always expensive (also, you need to consider inflation... like a SNES at launch actually cost a whole lot more than a PS4 at launch, but that didn't stop people back then)... The Lego design is actually more than plastic, it's a tightly reinforced plastic that, like Kingpin mentions, is expensive to manufacture... Lego is one of those brands where you're not just paying for the brand and licensing, you're paying for a quality product that no other "building block" can compare to...

[ogswiss]

anybody pick it up? finished the first floor in 6 hours! my back is killing me! looks great though and my daughter cant wait to play ghostbusters with me once its completed! would have loved this as a kid - so detailed

[DarkSpectre]

Hoping they're still available at tax time. The holidays just ended. I don't have that kind of money right now

[zeta otaku]

built the whole thing over 3 days. my only complaint is the base is a little flimsy, so moving it after you've built it is a chore. I love this thing!

[ogswiss]

yeah took me about the same! it is flimsy at the base... its also flimsy to use as a playset!

I bought some gorilla glue aka kragle lol I'm going to glue it brick by brick. I am also going to glue the base to a cutting board of the same measurements. that should solve everything....

I bought some lego glue but it does not hold well. I figured id try it since oyu can wash it off after but I figured I never want to take it apart or have it fall apart so I might as well use gorilla glue.

my daughter has asked me to play with it every day since its been put together! it really is cool

the ecto1 does not fit all the way inside which is a let down. they also could have added the 4 new ghostbusters to the set to come with the guys being that the movie comes out this year and the set costs almost 400$ with tax !!!

Based on some information that's been doing the rounds, it looks like the 2016 Ghostbusters will have their own set that's yet to be officially announced.

[ogswiss]

yeah prob their ecto 1. i have a feeling from the pictures on set in NYC of the firehouse and ernie that they need a bigger house at the end or something and ernie sells them the orig firehouse. although I am STILL really hoping the cameos of our guys are really secretly their old characters and they just have been trolling us this whole time to keep it a secret!!!

[DarkSpectre]

If I can get one of these, it may be the last thing I buy GB related.

[zeta otaku]

It's totally worth it, but I HIGHLY recommend gluing the two base areas to something SOLID unless you plan to leave it on whatever surface you're building it on.
