I'm sure it will be $350 US if $399 CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odysea11 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Anyone else think that the upcoming Stay Puft fig from Dimensions might be a popular little must have also? I know he's on the small side, but he's all we've got for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylay Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 IMO this should be a $200 set. No more than that. If it is. It will be a shelf warmer. Only people buying it it resellers and nostalgists with money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylay Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If they threw in an ultra maxi of stay puffed and a maxi devil dog then maybe. Not to mention a gozer and gate keeper figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legone3 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This set will be very significant. It will mark the first set since 41999 that resellers buy more than consumers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete411 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This set will be very significant.It will mark the first set since 41999 that resellers buy more than consumers.I thought that honor went to Lonely Mountain. I can't imagine any right thinking person buying that pile of bricks for $130.Anyways, I think that pricing the headquarters north of $200 is absolutely insane. The building is not even very memorable from the movie. I'd much prefer that they retire the Ecto sometime next year and be done with it.

I know he's on the small side, but he's all we've got for now.I wonder if we'll get a different Slimer in this set vs the Dimensions set. It happened in the Doctor Who Ideas set vs the Dimensions set, but the Dalek is brick built, so could be argued there are different ways to present a Dalek.

TheOrcKing Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 About the set I have to wonder who are the "Pink Ghost and Blue Ghost"? They sound like spooks from the animated series. Out of all the taxi drivers in New York, this is the one I feel like I could actually trust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10230 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Anyways, I think that pricing the headquarters north of $200 is absolutely insane.I agree. The expected price of about $350 means you get two full modulars for that. That _is_ insane. Who in their right mind would buy that? What is LEGO thinking?But then - it is a large building. If it is just somehow cool and fits with the other modulars I will have to have it. Who said I am in my right mind? They got me.

Who said I am in my right mind? They got me.People who are talking about "the price is too high!" are the exact same people that will buy the set. In case of investors even multiple ones. LEGO AFOL are rarely in their right mind (or that's exactly where they are... who knows ;-) ). DeathStar for 400 is alright though... because you wouldn't want to put it in your modular street?I bet most people here are licking their fingers about these news and most of us collectors can't wait to finally see the product and if it is just slightly okayish we'll jump and buy it as soon as possible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'll buy it. As for 5 or 10 or 20+ at the rumored price, not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Notice emazers didn't say "The New Ghostbusters Headquarters 'Does not come with Ecto1'"....So could it come with the old Ecto-1? Or am I reading too literally into this?Stop! Emazing doesn't even know what cryptic means....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locutus001 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Can "rumored" be removed from the title yet...?Well I guess it can ^^At least after seeing the online shop post about the set with set description and getting confirmed by a shop assistant that this one was coming I have no doubt that it's true.

Ciglione Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well... there is still alot of fog hanging around this set. Not unimportant is the question if it will contain an ecto-1 or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
