She’s beautiful! So much better than the Joyride Ecto-1 replica.

@ensignram

I am getting tired off all the Ecto replicas. I mean really, how many do we need? Hotwheels, Hallmark, ERTL, Johnny Lighting… If Sony wants to impress us, license a new movie and enough with the Ecto replicas.

Gtfo seriously

Don’t piss in everyone elses just because you don’t want another ecto.

I’m sure you hate puppies too right?

[river_of_slime]

Very fuc*king nice!!! This is a must buy for me

[joeghostbuster]

ensignram must sleep in a pile of Ecto 1 toys. its not like most people can just pick one up of various sizes whenever they want while they’re at the store. the Hotwheels are really the only ones in retail circulation right now, the Hallmark ones are rare (especially since Christmas is over) and the ERTL and JL ones are really rare and can usually only be found via ebay. I wholeheartedly welcome any new Ecto1 releases and will be buying 2-3 of the 1:43 scale and at least one of the 1:18 scale

Cheap bastards used the logo without the chin.

Honestly, I’ll be getting one of these

@JayTigran

but how much will this little number be going for?

BBTS says list price for the 1:43 is $40.99 and 1:18 is $114.99, although they have the prices marked down slightly. Not sure if that’s actual MSRP though. The Japanese online toy store AmiAmi has preorders up also, with list prices at 6,500 and 15,800 yen. For US buyers this would be more expensive even with AmiAmi’s 20% off, but it’s really nice to see these getting an international release!

Alright fellow ghostheads…the line forms behind me and Boomerkinks. After that, get 'em if you can!

@69428scj

Boomerkinks.

[LimpBizkit3030]

I’m SO buying this without opening the package.

[Boomerjinks]

LETS DO THIS!

[69428scj]

Yes, Boomerkinks…because he’s kinky like that

[spiff]

I’ll have to get both of these for sure. I can’t believe how epic the 1:43 scale is! God, please let there be a 1A version after this. I want to light it up like my ‘joyride’

Other 1:43 scale Hot Wheels Elite cars seem to be going for $35 - $40 online, so the BBTS is probably a good indicator of the MSRP. But some 1:18 Elites, like the Dark Knight Batmobile, are going for around $70. So hopefully that $114.99 is way off the mark.

Either way, I’ll be forking over the cash for this 1:43 Ecto-1 for sure.

So..when these coming out and how do you get one?

Currently unannounced and, I would assume, exchange of valid currency.

The hint I saw said likely in September. Looks like the pre-order sites take credit cards. (wink)
