Think of it as "the Cadillac of Ecto-1 models". That's roughly TWO AND A HALF FEET! I would not be surprised if the car ends up weighing a good 10 pounds, too. When finished, it will measure a whopping 31.5" long. The model pieces are large and heavy due to the fact that this is made of die-cast metal! Yeah, this isn't a cheap little plastic model, like the old Ertl Ecto-1A. Okay, now that we're all on the same page, let's look at what is in the latest package. If you're just joining in on the fun, be sure to read my review of Issues #1 and #2 (the introductory package) to fill you in on what to expect from the "Build The Ghostbusters Ecto-1" model subscription. That means that next month (June), I will receive Magazine "Issue #4" and Parts Sets #7, #8, #9, #10. Magazine "Issue #3" comes with Parts Sets #3, #4, #5, #6. Magazine "Issue #2" comes with Parts Set #2 (in Package #1). Magazine "Issue #1" comes with Parts Set #1 (in Package #1). I have been told by my source at Eaglemoss that there are a total of 36 magazines and 141 model parts sets in the subscription.įor the record, with this being the second package, here is the rundown so far: The model car parts will be referred to as "parts sets". Given that (starting with the second package) it's "one magazine per four sets of parts", and at the standard rate, you get one magazine with four sets of parts each month, I will be referring to each package/collection of items by the "issue" number of the magazine. Also, the name "issue" is more frequently used for readable periodicals and not model parts.
Eaglemoss refers to both the magazines AND model parts as "issues", but that will lead to great confusion because it's not "one magazine per one set of parts". Options for Li-Ion and USB wall adapter Įverything else, I think I’d second Jay’s recommendations.This review remains online for posterity only.ĭeagostini's Fanhome brand took over the model after Eaglemoss went out of business.Ĭlick here for updated purchase links and additional information.īefore I get down to the details, I have to explain the terms I will be using.Dash lighting would be very cool, instrument panels even cooler!.I love the idea of a dimmer, or perhaps even UV interior light, with the option to disable - a lot of kits/models I’ve seen have a blazing bright interior light which is neither necessary nor aesthetic.
#ECTO 1A MODEL KIT INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL#
This build was phenomenal, and I’m very excited to add a BrickStuff light (*and sound!) kit.Īs a purist myself, Jay has some great notes here and the Haynes manual is probably a great resource also. So.what features (beyond the obvious!) would you like to see in a light and sound kit for this amazing model? Let us know in the comments below, and thank you!
If all goes well, I'm hoping to have pre-orders up on the site before Christmas, with delivery likely beginning in March 2021. Since we already have the base control circuitry and sound for the Ecto-1, it should be relatively easy to expand the kit to cover this new model. We're currently testing designs for the huge rooftop lightbars and large spotlights- stay tuned for more details. It's really one of the kits I'm most proud of designing, so when we learned of an even bigger, cooler Ecto-1 headed our way, we knew we had to up our game and rise to the challenge. Our light and sound kit for the Ideas Ecto-1 from 2014 has consistently been one of our best-selling kits, and it has more features than any other kit available. Well, what an amazing model! Six years after the release of the LEGO Ideas Ecto-1- in our humble opinion, one of the best vehicle sets ever released by LEGO- the company has taken aim squarely at our pocketbooks with a huge new set: the Creator Expert Ecto-1 (item #10274).
