I started my Ecto 1 1/18 from Hot Wheels 2 years ago, but after seeing this video think this beast is the real masterpiece. Freakin awesome details! You're the luckiest guy on earth sir!
Hold up, I'm paying 1400 bucks for an Ecto where the lights are that noisy when they're on AND there's no siren? Also the chrome pieces look crazy cheap. Wow
I agree man, alot of extra cool stuff could have been added at that price, I said the same as you, the chrome makes it look like a cheap toy...why no shinny chrome? Way over priced at that lack of details to me...My smaller dicast Ecto beats this one by far on a lot of details. It is a bad ass model, the price is just terrible!
I'd buy one if I came into a lot of money, but I wouldn't save up for it. The dull chrome is a let down, the red strip on the top of the door makes it look like a bows upwards in the middle, and theres a lack of small detail that you'd actually find on a $200 1/18 Diecast, such as door catches when you open the doors. Still, it's a pretty cool exciting piece. Just not worth that high amount of money. I could buy a real car for that.
I had a bit of sideshow drama but I am on the waitlist... but now I’m not sure if that drama where I lost my original pre-order wasn’t for the best as the one Blitzway were showing before release had much better and realistic looking chrome and rotating lights that didn’t make a noise. There are parts of the released version which are a bit toy like... and I’m unsure how I feel.
Hi Jon, ive just received mine and cant get the entire set of white lights at the front to work and the single blue spotlight at the left handside door, this seems to be a problem with a lot of shipments, anyone had similar issues with resolutions. The yellow ones work but if i move the wire, they go off so thats got a break but the others on the front are totally dead. Have you heard of other lighting issues?
I know there may not be any general lees,but will bitzway be making any versions of knight rider cars with the lights,sounds,and more importantly William Daniel's with more than 8 lines from the original 80's series. Oh and a version of K.A.R.R. with peter cullen's voice?
I got to hand it to the people who work for Blitzway, they really went all out to have the Ecto-1 made for the 1/6 scale Ghostbusters figures. I wish I could afford the Blitzway Ecto-1, but I can't afford anything crazy expensive. Plus, I don't have very much space to display it. I am aware that 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex cars aren't easy to come by nowadays, but if I were fortunate to come across one in good condition on the outside and inside a little rusted some that someone wanted to sell at a fair reasonable price, I would definitely but it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very own film-accurate replica of the Ecto-1 down to the last detail and I would use the Blitzway Ecto-1 as a reference model and the Haynes Ectomobile Owner's Workshop Manual to have something to go by.
Nice review! What is the length of the vehicle with the proton pack rack fully extended. I wonder if this will fit into my display cabinet with the proton rack fully extended.
A very impressive model. The only thing missing are the proton packs for the gurney. It's too bad this model is sold out as of July 2022. Blitzway has also suspended shipments to the US due to the very high shipping costs.
They said they are supposed to work on the final issued version. That assembly already arrived and you can see there is a place to insert lights in the bottom of them.
I noticed that the two blue lights in front of the front of the light bar and the two behind the rear light bar aren't working on yours. Did you eventually get them to work at some point?
Nosgoth Demon I actually have a custom display case I built for all my 1/6 cars. If you watch my video Called my hot toys collection 2018 you can see it, it’s massive!! lol
Be better if it was an rc car would be cool to see it move with lights flashing and the sirens going off I like to see if they had a Ghostbusters 2 ecto 1a
In some shots in the movie, yea, they were like that. It wasn't supposed to be noticeable but they did that on some of the cars used so the audience wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't the stars driving the car. I prefer it without the tint as that's more accurate how it's supposed to be. I just started the Eaglemoss build this summer, and I'm hoping the windows aren't tinted.
nice...so around 1500 bucks when it came out...plus shipping I'm guessing...huh. maybe a possibility now but can't. came across one New in box, guy selling for 2200 now..just too much and too big but still cool
The details of the front and rear lights and the other lights aren't the same as the first trailer 2 years ago. Are rotating crazy fast, not the same effect as in the trailer.
Hey Jon I noticed the blue lights in front of the front light bar and rear light bar did not light up. I too have an issue with mine. My rear light bar lights up but does not turn and my MP3 player will not power up with an external battery or by plugging it into a computer either.

You guys in the US have it lucky. Think of us poor saps in Australia were there seems to be only one seller offering this, and it's a whopping $3,000! The Australian importer had pre-orders at $2500 and then decided to jack up the price to $3K. Still on the fence about it. Yes it's size is impressive but to me it's lacking fine detail for the price and they totally got the chrome wrong. It's a bit toy like compared to other smaller scale cars I've seen.
Greetings my friend a question that would be of great help, Blitzway indicated that the length measure is 1.15 cm ok now that measurement is auto with the back door closed or open? Or, together with the stretcher?
it made of 100% plastic if this is heavy wtf will be the eaglemoss 1/8 diecast be ? its over 80cm long and has lights on dash, nothing fits well on this model many parts have to be glued or blue tack into place
Eagle moss one is coming together very nicely. Maybe slightly smaller. Costs about the same. But build quality especially on the chrome work seems better on Eaglemoss
The eaglemoss is a mostly metal build with real chroming so its not really a fair comparison to the blitz. The eaglemoss kills it on detail but the blitz has the larger size. IMHO the noise the blitz makes with the rotators is a deal breaker.. I don't think they'll last more than an hour or two on tops.
@@GaryTabarJr yeah those rotating lights sound like a washing machine. Its really sad. But I kinda like the look of Blitzway better then Eagle. We really need a side by side comparison. I don't believe anyone has completed the Eaglemoss one yet.
The seats are plastic. A model that costs $1000 should have real soft seats, carpet on the floor etc. Lights in the instrument cluster wouldn’t go amiss either. Its just lacking things I would expect to see.
@@SurvivingTheApocalypse I totally agree I thought I was the only one who saw the close ups and thought hmm 🤔 this thing looks cheap! Until I saw your comment that is. For the cash if say it could do with alot more details in different mediums 👍
Jimmy Biz When I made that comment I thought the model was $1000..... I have since found out that it actually costs $1400!! The level of detail (and build quality) for $1400 is a joke. Seen so many videos showing faulty electronics, badly applied decals and terrible fit and finish on the doors etc.
@@SurvivingTheApocalypse hahaha that's even worse!!! I've just started the 1/8 scale build from Eaglemoss for the ecto-1 and it looks pretty effin awesome a little pricey. But die cast metal. Brake pedal activates the brake lights. Sirens. Lights. Display case. Even the windows roll down with the tiny window handles 😂 it even comes as special issues. Build four proton packs too!!! Fucking awesome!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I'm glad I didn't pre order this. Lights spazzing out way too fast at 2x the speed they should be, blueish headlights, no built in sound, logo on the rear is crooked, unrealistic metal areas. Not impressed.

the best serious review at this time, thank you!

AlphaTrion92 collecting high end stuff is full of disappointments, that's just the way it is
:(
UPDATE: 4/10/2020- The ECTO-1 Is Currently SOLD OUT! Add Your Name To The Wait List Here: sideshow.te8rfv.net/3KqYd
All we want now is a 1/6 Scale Wagon Queen Family Truckster!
Hahahahah YES!!
Impressive! I have to stop watching these videos, I need this thing n my life😊
Imagine the batteries you would need for Ecto 1A?
I'd buy one if I came into a lot of money, but I wouldn't save up for it.
The dull chrome is a let down, the red strip on the top of the door makes it look like a bows upwards in the middle, and theres a lack of small detail that you'd actually find on a $200 1/18 Diecast, such as door catches when you open the doors.
Still, it's a pretty cool exciting piece. Just not worth that high amount of money. I could buy a real car for that.
OMG completely amazing!!!
Nice!! I'd love to get one for my brother for his birthday would make a nice decoration for his new place!
I love the warnings on the back, especially #3: Please do not put this product in your mouth.
If that was possible, you'd be a shark!

I hope setting it up was a fun challenge, and so, I look forward to your Ecto-1 review.
Sold Out UNREAL

It needs hella weathering in my opinion.
just saw this, made me wish i knew how to do motors could you imagine turning this thing into an RC?
Looks awesome, do the lights in person rotate as quickly as in video as they should be slower right?
Lee C yes they do!
Will Blitzway re-release the Ghostbusters figures at some point?
They already have
@@chriscunningham9240 No, they never have.
@@jedijones I read that wrong I thought he asks will they release the Ghostbuster figures not re-release LOL👍🏻
Who else is also excited for the ECTO-1 based on how it was seen of Ghostbusters: Afterlife coming soon from Blitzway?
Thanks for showing under the hood. Does the steering wheel turn the front wheels? Also, footage of the under carriage would have been good.
Nice review! What is the length of the vehicle with the proton pack rack fully extended. I wonder if this will fit into my display cabinet with the proton rack fully extended.

Really? I want to order one, that looks kool toy, plus remind me the movie
I like that the front strobe lights work on the grill. On the Hero Collector Eaglemoss build, they don't work. Just for looks.
They said they are supposed to work on the final issued version. That assembly already arrived and you can see there is a place to insert lights in the bottom of them.
Disappointed with the silver painted trim as opposed to the chrome effect on the 1/8 ecto. Lights sound quite noisy too. Looks good as a whole
why no figures with the car comparison ? itd be good to no if the 6" movie figures will fit in the car or even just some real ghostbusters figures
This is for 12" figures not 6".
That is absolute awesome! That is a fantastic unboxing video! thank you.
Thank you for watching!!! This was such a fun video to make!
I noticed that the two blue lights in front of the front of the light bar and the two behind the rear light bar aren't working on yours.
Did you eventually get them to work at some point?
Good god. As awesome as that is, I'm good with my already awesome Hot Wheels 1/18 Elite Ecto-1.
Awesome piece, where would u display it tho? That thing is the size of a coffee table.
Nosgoth Demon I actually have a custom display case I built for all my 1/6 cars. If you watch my video Called my hot toys collection 2018 you can see it, it’s massive!! lol
That’s exactly what you do with it... you build a coffee table
The chrome pieces just look they are painted grey metallic, but not actually chromed as seen in the promotional images?
Calvin Smith A lot is different from promotional pictures and videos. Oh well.
Be better if it was an rc car would be cool to see it move with lights flashing and the sirens going off I like to see if they had a Ghostbusters 2 ecto 1a
Wow that’s awesome!
You know you can get a full scale wagon for that kind of money, including a bucket of white paint?
Why are the windows blacked out and only have a crack through the middle? Was it like that in the movie? It’s been a while since I watched it
In some shots in the movie, yea, they were like that. It wasn't supposed to be noticeable but they did that on some of the cars used so the audience wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't the stars driving the car. I prefer it without the tint as that's more accurate how it's supposed to be. I just started the Eaglemoss build this summer, and I'm hoping the windows aren't tinted.
Great video! Can’t wait for mine to ship!
Thank you and im excited for you!
Where can I order one?
nice...so around 1500 bucks when it came out...plus shipping I'm guessing...huh. maybe a possibility now but can't. came across one New in box, guy selling for 2200 now..just too much and too big but still cool
Would’ve been nice to see the total unpack of all the accessories as well with install

Man i wish i could afford to get that sweet GB item, cause that Looks AWESOME!
That’s fkn crazy 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Where can I get one?
That ecto one is soooooo big!
do your doors close properly? especially the driver door?
The figures from mezco would go great with this Ecto1 !
jose jr The 1/6th scale Ghostbuster figure from Blitzway is made for this Blitzway Ecto 1
Jon where is the fb group??
It's called a wigwag when you showed the front. The headlights strobing is called a wigwag
And the siren. ?
Greetings my friend a question that would be of great help, Blitzway indicated that the length measure is 1.15 cm ok now that measurement is auto with the back door closed or open? Or, together with the stretcher?
Awesome👍, would love to get my hands on this BadBoy ! Am a Big Die cast car's collector....
Can it be plug in or is it only batterie operated?
I'm curious as to exactly how much a collector's piece such as this Blitzway ECTO-1 cost. Gotta be really expensive.
$1300 US according to the website
Simply fantastic. But how much is it?
1400 plus shipping before it was sold out. Now around 4000 on eBay new in the box.
How many of these were made?
nice lot details light up but sound
does interior light up too if got room for great ill wish had room
take space and driving door close
good
Like George Eddy (a french journaliste on Chanel 4 in France) used to say : Vavavoom !!!
I just seen happyness and wows it's huge
That's what she said.
How to turn on the lights on car?
Nintendo music!!! Nice touch
make sure you connected everything properly and tightly
Woulda been nice
If ya turned ON
the emergency lights.
Lol, he did....
Does it have options to add the gunner seat?
Your front roof spot lights are not working
if had the money id get tow of them one for display the other turning into an RC car
I thought the exact same thing! That would be so awesome.
it made of 100% plastic if this is heavy wtf will be the eaglemoss 1/8 diecast be ? its over 80cm long and has lights on dash, nothing fits well on this model many parts have to be glued or blue tack into place
I'd love to have that in my entertainment room. How much is that going for
1400$
What's the scale of the car
Oh, my GOD.
Only if u can turn it big it might pass as a real car
What about the top blue bulbs?
Wow beautiful
No interior lights?
Ok boys. Let's have it. Blitzway Ecto 1 or the Eaglemoss one? Who's better
Eagle moss one is coming together very nicely. Maybe slightly smaller. Costs about the same. But build quality especially on the chrome work seems better on Eaglemoss
@@simonherbert2237 true the attention to detail for Eaglemoss is crazy. But their windows aren't tinted. That's a big flaw in my opinion.
@@BVENTUROUSATHLETICS that's something that can be easily rectified during the build. 👍

Looks incredible until you get up close. The detail on the interior is pretty terrible.

That logo on the back door looks to be tilting over to the left too much
The back door logo is actually right on, but the passenger side door logo is tilted too far up. For whatever reason, the driver side door is fine.
Matt McGlasson it is actually tilting I’ve just checked the original,
If you look at the back door in the movie, the hand on the left is pointing down at the lower left corner.
Matt McGlasson on the clear pic I’ve got the left hand is further up towards the handle and level to right hand
I wish I could see the picture you’re looking at, I’d like to see it.
1/4?
yea the scale size is big know the scales
How much is worth?
Holy cow that is an awesome toy - they gotta make immortan joes big double caddy next!!!!
Wooooooowowowoww
I'm glad I didn't pre order this. Lights spazzing out way too fast at 2x the speed they should be, blueish headlights, no built in sound, logo on the rear is crooked, unrealistic metal areas. Not impressed.
Enjoy it !!!
Price?
Windows roll down?
The car is beautiful, the music was terrible. I recommend viewing without the sound after 6:40.
Blitzway Is South Korean Company.
Where are the figures we didn't see it 😲
COOL CAR MAN 😨😨
R u going to play with it in the fun room……
Don’t the doors close properly?
I noticed that too also the exposed wires on the roof aaaand all the lights dont come on
Scott's Block's to be fair the actual car has tonnes of wires under the roof rack.
Why aren’t the blue roof spot lights on?
Richard Ridley they don’t light up. They did on the prototype. Not very good
I have seen other reviews. And they light up. Maybe they are disconected
Andy C Wrong
Cooooooooooooool
It looks better than the eaglemoss ecto 1
