You’re correct, it’s in the retro entertainment line which retails for about $4-5.

I read on another site that you can pre-order them and supposedly they should be in stores the first few weeks in January.

Seems they’re starting to pop up now. Two eBay auctions currently out of Texas and Missouri look to be in hand and ready to go. Keep your eyes open.

I think those may have been preorders. I am in Missouri and have yet to see them either…

Went out in Peoria IL last week no luck so far…Target, Walmart, and Kroger (all multiple locations) had nothing. It has been a while since a new RetroEntertainment wave has been released, so many stores might not have a peg for them. Should make it pretty obvious when they come in. Other cars in the wave include Batmobile, JamesBond Aston Martin, Biffs car from BTTF, and BJ and the Bear.

If you see any of these without seeing Ecto’s, it is safe to assume one of your fellow ghostheads have been there and bought them all. They’ll be destined for ebay if that is the case.
