Lego Ideas: Ghostbusters Neutrino Wand

Spengs1 Comment

mrlegohouselegoideaswand

This is a different type of Lego Ideas Ghostbusters project. A LEGO designer with the handle of MrLegoHouse has seemingly designed the first Lego Ghostbusters prop.

I’m not sure if Lego’s license extends to prop toys. Upon first look this does somewhat resemble Matty Collector’s Neutrino Wand. If Lego could do it, it would be a different market and appeal to ghostheads. Like with what Matty Collector already produced, it would be incomplete without a lot of LEGO bricks to make a complete Lego Proton Pack.

With LEGO officially making licensed Ghostbusters sets, (not Stay-Puft, that’s what I heard!) I kinda thought additional products would come from Lego/Sony. Thankfully over the weekend Lego builders and ghostheads proved me wrong.

Over at LEGO Ideas Bobbrick999 has designed Dana Barrett’s 1980s apartment, you know before the Gatekeeper brought property values way down.Read More »

Figures, selfishly on a day where I was tired and had a sinus headache LEGO posted on their Facebook page what I’m calling a tease about their upcoming Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ. (Set 75827) Previously I posted what I considered speculation, (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, October 19, 2015) was mostly likely an error on the part of Toys R’ Us Canada.

Get ready to bust some ghosts at the Firehouse Headquarters!

Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse Speculation

Take this with the grains of color plastic, LEGO news site, The Brick Fan posted details about the upcoming Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse. Something I’ve talked about (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, February 4, 2015) on Ecto-Containment and Ghostbusters Inc. (GB Inc. Search Results)

The source for the set number and details would be credible, (Toys’ R Us Canada) however their isn’t a direct link to any press release or product page from TRU Canada. Also this firehouse would be based on Brent Waller’s design.

If true (I look forward to an official announcement from LEGO) here’s what we could be getting as early as January 2016.Read More »

Lego Ideas: Modular Library

SpengsLeave a comment

Within the last few months I saw in a Lego Ideas email that custom Lego builder JGreeny had created a modular library. As a ghosthead one of the first things that came to mind was here’s a building not only could the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 be displayed with, the Ghostbusters mini figures could enter, also for display or even to be played in.

Supporting the modular library was already going well enough. I was hoping by writing about it too (if i had gotten to it when I first saw it) more ghostheads and LEGO fans could have also supported it. When I checked today, I was glad to see JGreeny had reached the 10,000 supporters the project needed for LEGO to actually consider putting this into production.

The review and subsequent announcement won’t happen until September. In the meantime check out JGreeny’s modular library with its additional interior details.

LEGO Ideas Isn’t Moving Forward With Sergio’s Ghostbusters Firehouse

LEGO has announced the product or products they’ll be moving forward with from LEGO Ideas. Unfortunately, not that surprising they didn’t choose Sergio Herencias’ Ghostbusters Firehouse. (GB Inc. Blog Post) If we’re not getting Ghostbusters HQ yet, what will LEGO Idea will they make?

LEGO Ideas #011 WALL-E

Big congratulations to Angus MacLane who created this blocky version of everyone’s favorite hopelessly romantic robot. MacLane is a Pixar animator and director, who actually worked on the WALL-E film. He created the model during the WALL-E production, and submitted it to LEGO Ideas in hopes of it becoming a set. Your hopes and dreams for WALL-E have come true, as the creation will become the next LEGO Ideas product.

Getting an official Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse isn’t over until Lego Wall-E cleans up a world full of colored bricks.Read More »

Brent Waller’s LEGO Ghostbusters Stay-Puft

Last April we introduced Ecto-Containment readers to Brent Waller’s LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Stay-Puft. Since then Lego Cuusoo became LEGO Ideas, Brent’s Ghostbusters ECTO-1 set became a reality, Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary has come to pass, and Ghostbusters is really getting a new movie, uh we think.

While that may bring on new merchandising and marketing opportunities, it doesn’t mean more LEGO Ghostbusters sets are a sure thing.Read More »

New LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Firehouse

mightymausgbfirehouse

Back in March with the then upcoming 30th Anniversary LEGO Ecto-1 on its way to retailers in June, Sergio, a ghosthead and custom LEGO builder created a LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ. (Ecto-Containment blog post) As the project is on LEGO Ideas the goal was for 10,000 ghostheads and/or LEGO fans to support the project. If it reaches 10,000 supporters, LEGO will review the project. Sergio’s Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ (LEGO Ideas) has met this requirement.

The downside of Sergio’s Ghostbusters firehouse is it seems ‘complex.’ With approximately 3,000 pieces LEGO might have to scale it back in someway. Which is why in part I’m more optimistic LEGO will give more consideration to LEGO ECTO-1 designer Brent Waller’s LEGO Stay-Puft. (LEGO Ideas)

Their may be a complexity solution. Sounds right. Ghosthead and custom LEGO builder ‘Mighty Maus’ already created a Ghostbusters Firehouse that uses less bricks and therefore would be less expensive. That’s economics!Read More »
