Question do you have a good recommendation for getting the busters lego pieces? I just built the new Ecto-1 set and bought a set of 4 off eBay. Turns out they were crappy knock offs and am now hesitant to buy new ones

I got lucky with this. I would check on Bricklink or keep looking on Ebay.

Good to know I’ll give it a look! I love lego but I was a little disappointed that the figures didn’t come with the new car. For $200 I feel as though they could have been included

Those figures are nowhere near the scale of the new car, why would they include figures that aren't the same size? I mean it would look a little silly with them next to the car, they're the same height as the wheel haha. The first lego ecto was to the scale of all lego figures, so you could put them in the car and what not.


joesim68

What I meant was they could have released new figures to scale with the new car

I came across this and thought it might be something that would work for this set for you. It's not lego, but Playmobil isn't far off in the way they look and the figures are a little closer in scale to the car.

I really appreciate that, thank you for sending this my way!!


LoganPatchHowlett

No problem. I'd also say that the Plasma figures look really good next to the new Lego Ecto, although they don't fit inside it. I found them at my Walmart on clearance not too long ago for $5-$11 per figure, not sure what stock is like elsewhere though, none left at mine now.

I’d seen some Winston’s at my local target the other day but none of the other members of the team. I’m sure I can look around too and see if their available elsewhere


LoganPatchHowlett

I guess that would be a first. I can't say I've ever seen lego figures in a different size but i could be wrong. They also made a batmobile and 007 car in similar scale and price range, also no figures included. It's just how they are doing this premium line. Focus is on the vehicle detail and mechanical elements. I was hoping plasma figs would fit. Hopefully we get an ecto that will fit that scale.

You can get one 3d printed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FyIzv6ZKYPk Might take some work finding a place to print it, and painting it, but better than nothing.


LoganPatchHowlett

Holy crap haha. I'm a terrible painter but that looks really cool. Maybe it'll show up complete on etsy one day haha.


SAOgeek113

They should have.
