Ghostbusters Ecto-1 1/8 Scale Model Kit Preview 

Here's where to find the kit: en-us.eaglemoss.com/die-cast-club/coming-soon/ghostbusters-ecto1-buildup

I was very interested in this until hearing that the parts come in a magazine subscription over 2 years. That's just silly.

So 45 bucks a month for two years is $1080 for this whole thing in the span of two years? Eeeh no thanks

And a broken side mirror.

I tend to agree with the previous posters. This is intriguing, but nearly $1100 is definitely out of my budget at this point.

I wish that Eaglemoss would come out with a 1/8 Scale KNIGHT RIDER Model Kit that would be so Very Great for all of us KNIGHT RIDER Fans.

Rolling windows is insane engineering for such a thing.

I was at comic con. Saw this in person. It's worth the money for sure. The lights in the light bars even rotate. It's so incredible in person. I personally just dont know where I would put it. Its huge

The 2 yr thing is done to charge a higher price and keep an ongoing residual money stream in to the company. You also get more personally invested with it due to the time involved. If this follows other similar schemes once the subscription crowd has their monthly pieces, after a year maybe, so 3 yrs from now, they then offer the whole thing for sale as one big shipment. A couple years later, to clear the shelves, it starts going on sale. I picked up the De’Agostino Millennium falcon this way, it is normally something like 1500, was on sale for 900. Still crazy pricey but its a huge model of the falcon and can be built to a very high level of detail. Anyway, its great for people who only worry about the monthly payment, and many people do focus on just that number. So it will sell fine probably. But these tactics suck. And calling it a model kit is a bit misleading, though technically true. We hear that phrase and think plastic model, one that needs finishing and can even be customized while building. For example, adding the message board to the equipment rack, or adding lights to the interior, that kind of thing. A model kit like that, of this car, would be terrific.

This looks awesome, can't wait until the full kit version is released!

I will definitely be grabbing this

she didnt even know what the gurney was called

I'd sub just to build it, I've been looking for something like this for years.

40 A MONTH OVER 2 YEARS, SO ITS A $1000 MODEL, FORGET IT

I have startet to build the French Version on my Channel. So if you like to see more of this build before it starts in the US, you can check it out there! The complete collection contains 141 issues which will release on a weekly basis.

She said it’s an exact copy of the one from the film but it isn’t. The front roof lights aren’t the original ones. The original Ecto 1 lights are identical both front and back. The front ones on this model taken from the re-build where they replaced parts that had been stolen on the back lot at universal. If you are gonna charge so much you should get the details perfect.

Anyone else notice that the rear view mirror on the drivers door is missing the head?

Amazing detail. Movie Look

This is awesome

impresionante, me encanta este coche y la versión de la película es de los coches más bonitos que hay. dejo el video en favoritos para alegrarme la vista a menudo.

Will go great with the 7” figures

It's not $45 a month. Each magazine is $10.90 and the shipping for each magazine is $2.45. Four magazines a month is $53. Over 24 months that's $1,260. The website says there is 141 magazines, which puts the cost at closer to ~$1860. For some people that's worth the price. But the true total cost should be posted for those curious what this will ultimately cost them.

I have the trials for this on my channel. I'll be doing this when it hits the UK in January 2020

amazing !!

It’s a beautiful looking kit. Not sure mentioning the flux capacitor or the delirium kit was such a good idea....eaglemoss idea of a flux capacitor is a couple of glowing leds....they didn’t even flash, let alone flux. I love part works....but after all the issues with the delorian I won’t be doing the echo 1.

Not to mention a metric crap ton of plastic packaging, bringing up the age-old question, "What's the opposite of green?"

Everybody can relax I've found the car. It only costs $1,080, needs some suspension work and TWO friggin years to finish!

I got the ray stanz figure that's on display there last week

It’s beautiful.

I've bought real running cars for less than what this model will cost!

That's impressive :)

I've always wanted someone to make a model kit for the Orca from Jaws.

Awesome

*Magazine subscription + kit pieces is an interesting model...*

Do the folks at Tested have any inside information about Eaglemoss going toes up? There are a lot of us that have serious time, and serious money invested in this build, and the idea that we'll have half a model, and tough luck on the rest.

I’ll take 2 please!

They did the same thing with the Back to the Future Delorean. Way overpriced

still gonna call He-Man . . . *evil spooky laughter*

awesome

Here after watching Adam work on his. Holy crap.

This might be new in the US but not a new product. People in the UK have been at this one for a while now

My kids are super into Ghostbusters right now so I am considering this as a project to do with them over the next 2 years. The sticking point for me is that it doesn’t seem to be $40 a month for 2 years. The website says it’s $10.90 per kit plus $2.45 shipping per kit. The completed model is made in 141 kits which comes to a total cost of $1,882.35. Now you do receive the first 2 kits for $1.95 and free shipping. That takes $24.75 off of the total and brings it to $1,857.60. That assumes that there’s no sales tax. In my case I could view this as an entertainment purchase for myself and kids over 2 years and I’d be left with a cool car and hopefully some good times. If you’re looking at this as a straight up purchase for the finished model however it’s a bit on the expensive side.

? Dose it all so come with 🔋 for the lights and siren

I am building the DeLorean and when it’s done going to start this car 😍

I would buy this, or even the 1/6 Blitzway model, but I just don’t have the space to properly display it.

My mate is doing a millennium falcon this way?. Sounds super realistic. I'm not sure if this coming to Australia??? 😀🕺🏽🎥🏖🇦🇺

I read this as 1/18. This thing is HUGE! when Will somebody make one scaled for the diamond 7 inch figures?

I wanto to hear the siren!

Still haven't released a full kit, The problem with a monthly subscription us there's no guarantee you'll be sent all the parts. If they go out of business or do some dodgy dealing you''ll be left with a half finished car and lost a lot of money. Id rather get it all in one go so yu know you can complete it.

Can’t wait for the new movie that’s coming out( my uncle is a rc car driver for it) so I’ll just leave it at that. I also can say someone or something is coming back for the ghost busters to deal with.

Do you take aigeations for 1 day builds

People who are complaining about the price, also bought the $300 hot wheels small ass model, and are willing to spend $500 for a matty wand. Also, yes the lights aren't moving and a mirror is off. You realize how long that prototype has been showed, and how many times it's been moved, and people, who dont careabout being careful have touched it? Quit complaining. I myself am looking forward to owning it

Oh my goodness! But in my apartment there is already DeLorean, for the second such a large car there simply is no place!

It takes 140 separate kits to complete the car. They send you four a month. So you are looking at a 3 year project.

I'd highly recommend people checking out Eaglemoss' TrustPilot reviews... especially those in the UK. Extremely sketchy regarding payments taken and then no contact or items shipped, then impossible to get hold of them. Either way, it blows my mind this business model still happens in 2019!

I wish they would ship to Canada.

Awesome !!!!!!!!! All they need is to make is K.I.T.T from Knight Rider an the General Lee from Dukes Of Hazard.

I had no idea they did the DMC from BTTF!

@ 2:46 - Mirror already broken off drivers door. LOL

i wish they would let that option happen with the delorean, to buy it all at once

I just signed up for this

Flux capacitor... Great Scott...

The two year span isn't a big issue. Look how long people been waiting for Blitzway's ecto 1. My issue this is the windows aren't tinted

Actually prices of 1:8 scale models are often higher then $1100. But it would be nicer if they were more transparent about the total pricing.

This is just a scam, whose to say they don't stop shipping parts in a year when not enough people pay for it....

Wonderfull. They should mention that they don't ship out of the US. There are a lot of Ghostbusters fans here in Canada too.

I want it bad..

Everyone is saying that after a couple of years this thing is going to be one to $2000, and the math currently, as I’m writing this, I’ve subscribed to the Ecto-1 with two kits starting out, and only $1.95, and with the price per for kits(mailed all together in one package a month) and two dollars in change I think for the shipping, it’s about $61 and change a month. So a lot of people think, one to $2000 over a period of 2 to 3 years and 141 kits, f*ck that…. And on one end, I do get that, but there are Lego sets out there that cost the same price but because they’re built out of smaller pieces, like all the pieces are relatively small in general and can be packaged up in one big box, you probably enough spending one or 2000 on a very popular very expensive Lego set which luckily enough because all the pieces are small and packaged in bags and in one box, you would still spend hours if not weeks or a couple of months building that for fun, but this besides the description, you’d be paying the same amount of money overtime for an expensive Lego set, but because it’s a 1/8 Scale model, and all the pieces are metal, because it supposed to be a model, the pieces for the vehicles are bigger size, do you have to take into account that you’re paying for a model that big, with as much detail and quality as there is to it overtime instead of the coincidence of buying a $2000 Lego set and just be able to bring it home and put it together in a way shorter amount of time, but it’s like an investment towards a very thoroughly detailed model that is made of metal and is a very cool big size. But everyone, to each their own on what they think. 🤷🏻‍♂️

By Eaglemoss, the company that stops series without notice.

great model, unfortunately they are out of stage 13 which means no new packs since october. delayed 2 months and waiting, they have no idea when they will have parts. I mean what did they do, build alot of stage 12 and 14 and say 'lets not build enough of stage 13' for fun

Where's the wing mirror..

Does it have sound?

The new promo is 10.99 per issue in the span of 141 issues. People pay $13 plus a month for Netflix and chill. I think this is cool! You build it over time.

"veeery cool"

This build over time concept is not new and while expensive seems to work. I prefer to build a model, not just assemble it. I hope they do well, it's a good looking kit.

Cool car

well hek i now know what santas like brimng me at XMASS come on santa down the chinny LOL

45.00 x 24 = 1080.00 approx. (Note she said About 45.00 per month and About two years)

$1000.00 isn’t way out for these. I put that into some 1:10 scale stuff I had to paint.

Wow she held onto the bonnet like he was going to rip it from her hands and run 🤨

High price if you do the math.... Where there any good model kits of The Orville on the NYCC?? I am very interested in one of those with high details. The ones i encounter now are meh...

Really cool, but not worth $1K. Would pay $200-$300 tops for an Ecto in this scale.

Yeah sell a completed car and you can make more money like that

So personal question, was she just nervous or did you two get coffee?

When did Ecto-1 have a flux capacitor? Last I checked, the Ghostbusters didn't time-travel...or did I somehow miss something in the 300+ times I have watched the movie?

The Eaglemoss Delorean price they had you could've bought 2 Hot Toys Delorean vehicles and a Marty figure lol! ...way too expensive! Plus the Blitzway ecto 1 coming out will blow this one out of the water!

Release it as a pre built model or a kit that I can buy in one go and I’m in....no chance I’m spending over $1000 on it though

wayyyyy tooo expensive....even if its less than the starting $4800

One per week is not too bad but for 2 years that's a no. Make it 750$ and release the complete kit all at once and I would buy it. I can't wait 2 years. I would be way too scared that they stop making them 3/4 of the way through. She said eventually there will be all issues but I wonder how much that will cost. Ill check it out in 2 years I guess. I checked the subscription page out of curiosity. USA only of course. They don't ship to other countries.

How much is the total cost? On one hand, she said it will be 1090 issues (did she misspeak and that is the number of parts?). On the other hand 4 issues per month for 2 years at $45 per month. Then there is Norman's estimate of 140 issues. At $45 per month for four issues over two years... that would result in 96 issues at $1,080. With Norman's estimate of 140 issues, it would be 35 months and $1,575. But if there are 1090 issues with four per month delivered, it would be 272 months (22 years?!) and $12,240.

I am currently building this iconic vehicle, but have noticed (as have many others) that eaglemoss have made many mistakes, one which is the light bars on top. They spin far too quickly & are extremely noisy. I for one will not be making any more models from Eaglemoss again, as this is not the first time discrepincies have been found. They advertised this as an accurate build, which it certainly is not as far too many changes have got to be made to make it screen authentic.

Some one did this in a 1 18 model n they wanted 200 for it wit sounds n lights i shoulda brought it

Trust Postnord with handling over 25 parcels? Just no, HELL NO! I had a time at the hospital this Thursday at 9.45AM. Apparently they sent the summoning letter via mail, the only way I knew about this is that I asked at the reception desk a month ago when I went to see the nurse about removing some stitches. And the only meeting that were booked for me was at the orthopaedic department. Later they wanted to X-ray my knees so they wanted me to be there one hour earlier. That summoning letter got lost as well. I started it all by sending a private referral where I explicitly said that don't use Postnord or if they have to, send email/SMS that they have posted letters. When I talked with the doctor he mentioned that he noticed my plea, but didn't do anything about it... "Välkommen till det stora Postlotteriet! I vems brevlåda hamnar dina brev den här gången?"

Doesnt have the partially tinted windows like the real one

good luck getting one now the company went belly up so you know whoever sells them now will double the prices it once were, damn wish i would have got one last yr b4 aug

For the quality of the model, not the worst price ive heard in the modeling community But sell me everything at once, not two years I want to crank out one high quality model a month Not have a dozen or more laying around in various stages om completion

lol I was like, 1 and 1/8th scale?

i'll wait for a resin recast that's probably 1/8th the cost >.>

this has already been released years ago in the uk
