Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1
Just had an email from Aaron at Planet Action figures that they are now unable to carry the Ecto-1, due to "logistical reasons".

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1
I read the message in the Group. It sounds pretty dodgy ordering this from anyone if there's no insurance between Hong Kong and the UK.
Not to mention that "...spare parts for the item will be extremely hard to get."
Plus the credible rumour that if BW don't hit their quota they won't even put it into production.
This situation is going to impede that quota as it likely affects more than just deliveries to the UK.
It really comes to something when the two main suppliers advise retailers against stocking it. Well, we thought the car was too big, and now it appears BW have bitten off more than they can chew as well.

Everything about Ecto 1 sounds like a nightmare from price, to shipping costs, to shipping in and of itself, potential fragility, space...ugh...I am really glad that I collect 1/6 scale figures and have no interest in cars.

I’m quite the opposite the 89 Batmobile got me into the hobby. I absolutely love the 1/6 vehicles.

That's all true... but it still looks cool as hell and would be an amazing thing to have anyway.
Ultimately though I decided to pass and get a DeLorean instead, since it's half the price and a bit more iconic in my mind (and also smaller).

I don't disagree it looks awesome! I will enjoy the pictures too just never really got into buying or displaying vehicles myself.

Sorry for the graininess.
Didnt realize how bad it was until I got the image off the phone and onto the pc.
Should at least help for size, not details

I really hate myself for not buying the Burtonmobile... but so many were scratched up out of the box.

It's funny seeing all these comparison pics making the DeLorean look tiny. It's the only 1/6 vehicle I have and it still looks massive to me.
No space for any other vehicles sadly.

Timewalker seem awesome and with the amount of ownership that they displayed over this release I was regretting not having ordered from them as it seemed they would be first out the door in the U.S. I feel better now because mine just shipped from Secret Compass here in the U.S. Great communication from them and would recommend them to other U.S. collectors! Cannot believe that they are out the door and on the way with UPS!

Who'd you get? I thought I would only get Pete but ended up with a Ray as well.

No way! He only just e-mailed me yesterday regarding preordering it too. Are you still ordering the Ecto? If so, who with?Just had an email from Aaron at Planet Action figures that they are now unable to carry the Ecto-1, due to "logistical reasons".

Don't know yet. It's likely all UK suppliers will have gotten the same message. They were instructed that all shipments would be uninsured and any breakages / losses would not be covered.
I didn't think it would be any more difficult than the 89 Batmobile. With the shields, the box size is about the same, and the weight only 3kgs more with the Ecto-1.
