Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

I would be surprised if it starts shipping in June! I was expecting Dec - Jan 2020

My money is still on Dec - Jan

June is next month and the email even states that it is only 70% complete

I‘m hoping the 30% is to put it inside the box [emoji23]

As long as it comes out phenomenal, I’m more than happy to wait.

Agreed. I'd rather they take as much time as necessary to get it right, especially given how many quality control issues this thing is already bound to have with the electronics.

I wonder how much delay I caused them with my incessant OCD corrections haha. to be fair, if what they said in that announcement is true, then you would expect them to get these things right. after going over reference photos so much, I can now immediately recognise whether an *really* good '59 MM Ecto 1 is a replica or not. mostly by noticing the chrome trim level and the roof rack.

I'm OK with this, just want a quality product by the time its finished.....Could be a great Christmas present.

Interesting it’s at 70% and SS have my last payment for the 5th of June. I’m guessing that won’t happen if it’s at 70%.

Their customer service doesn't know up from down.

September in hand I’m calling it now.

 

[Hemooo]

as long as it arrive before Halloween I will be happy

 

[davejames]

Well it gives me more time to think of how to display it I guess.

 

[andyrcii]

Well, lets keep an eye on this “Astronaut Iss ver” thingy. If that ships on time, etc

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

The Ecto was bound to take Blitzway forever. Tons of parts, electronics, etc. They are notorious now for being late with figures and this is a complex vehicle. I just hope the final product turns out well. I'm still interested despite the cost but need to see in hand video reviews first.

It could be worse Solider Story could be making it

Man most of those scenes should stay deleted.

I’ve always wanted to see this shot of the Ecto 1, any new footage of it is great but this scene is the holy grail
