Ghostbusters HQ Reaches 10 000 Supporters for LEGO Ideas

Post by Toys N Bricks » Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:17 pm



Another Ghostbusters creation has reached 10 000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Sergio512 submitted the creation on March 19, 2014 and in 5 months, is has reached the supporters needed for LEGO to review the creation. The building appears to be similar to the popular LEGO modular buildings with multiple levels and lots of detail for the interior.

Currently, there is an existing LEGO Ideas set already based on Ghostbusters Ecto-1 car (set# 21108 ). If LEGO made this into an official LEGO Ideas product, would you buy it?

I would definitely buy that if it was a set but I expect it'll never happen.

Congratulations to this set! I really want this to happen but I also want Wall-E.

That's nice and all, but it would never happen. I don't think LEGO is willing to produce an Ideas set that would cost $150-200. Especially one that would compete with the AFOL-focused modular building series. The designer of this did a nice job though.

^ This was my take on it, too. The original GB idea that was selected for production was actually the ECTO-1 and the firehouse, and they ended up extracting the ECTO-1 from that proposal for production. I don't see them now going back to the well and producing the firehouse from a financial perspective. On top of that, it would kind of be a slap in the face to BrentWaller (the creator of the originally selected GB proposal).

I love this, but like others have said, I highly doubt it will happen as it is going to be at least as much as the most expensive modular, and also somewhat competes with the Firehouse Brigade set. I have a Firehouse of my own and am thinking of trying to convert it to this set

Never going to be made.

But if it did LEGO would only make 10 of them and they would sell out in 6 hours.

I believe this version has the LDD file available on the web, for anyone that wants to try, along with a script to pull the parts list on Bricklink.

And while searching for that, I found Brent Waller's LDD for the firehouse from his original submission to Ideas.

Yes, I would buy this set but based on the above opinions I am not sure whether it will happen.
