Those lights being loud is actually realistic. Before LED lightbars came out, the old rotator and strobe light bars were loud. When I was a police officer we had rotating lights with halogen flashers. You could hear the rotators and flashers even when sitting in the car. I miss those old rotators.
😔 i dont know why im torturing myself im addicted to watching different videos of this, i love this car, still massive fan of Ghostbusters and cant wait for Afterlife. God damn it, i so wish i had the funds for this collection its beautiful. I still love the whine of the siren, now i feel like a kid again im just watching, now i want to watch the movies lol.
The red thing on top is a long-range PKE detector. And yes, Dan Ackroyd designed most of the props for the car including the PKE detector as well as coming up with names and descriptions for what everything did. Baseline PKE cell. Main power cell. Proton pack pump-out connection. Turbopump Set. Ectoplasm Analysis unit. Positive and negative polarised spectral foam detectors etc etc
It be broke first week or day, the sulking face of disappointment too lol too be honest im glad they didnt make it in 80s i had a brother who destroy it like he did most of my diecast collectibles that were very limited. Put this way my brother destroyed my love for collecting back then and one of reasons why i hate him.
Whoa im so glad someone made this beauty! Im personally not a huge ghostbusters fan but im glad to see other companies are making things like this its great for the hobby ! Enjoy !
From someone who drove the cars that used those light bars (as well as had a decent collection of even older ones) the noise is actually accurate! LOL In a situation where you had to sit in the car with the lights on for an extended period of time (blocking closed roads and such) it would be maddening. Even the old strobes weren't much better with their constant clicking and whirring, like an old camera flash.
The detail is absolutely incredible, wow, even down to the collapsed seats! If I were to get one I think it would be awesome to make it into an RC car,(obviously just for tooling around, not for any kind if speed) , may as well for how much it costs
Yea like you mention they’re far too heavy for RC! You can order a 1:10 scale Caddy hearse RC body then buy a 1:10 model kit and add the parts to the Lexan body yourself! I’m doing it to a DMC BTTF2 Drift car!
Definitely would want to get one for display especially for my kid to see why it's such an iconic emblem for the 80's when I grew up. Reminds me of when I saw the movie in theaters as a kid
I agree with "Dean Jones", This brought me back when my brother got a toy atomic submarine called "Barracuda" by Remco on Christmas Day. This toy was HUGE! It wasn't mine but my brother still let me play with it. Ah yes, those were the days. Thanks so much for sharing😊.
Your unboxing video is the best out there because you show EVERYTHING I didn’t know the oscilloscope next to the jumper seat lit up and looks GOOD the oscilloscope screen has that faded green look - looks awesome!! So does the engine
The broken piece is the engine starter. Should be glued into the passenger side of the transmission bell housing next to the blue engine oil pan underneath the vehicle. Probably broke off in shipping...
WOW. I was watching Adam Savage's Tested channel. He's building this model from the kit and he's still working on the engine block and may never finish the thing. It was a pleasure to see the finished form.
Likely the Eaglemoss Ecto 1, which I’m also building via subscription & multiple shipments. Nice unboxing & review - I think that black cylinder goes on the roof rack over the black circle ⚫️.
@@max.seher.3 it's possible since it's a different look, but honestly I doubt it. They would have to receive a lot of requests from collectors to make that happen.
This is the greatest, make it sure you keep everything pristine, even the box and packaging. When you're done enjoying it put it away and save it, itll be worth big bucks when you're 60!!!
Roof rack! It’s beautiful! Poster tack will leave an oil spot and run on stickers or decals,fabric and flat paints but gloss should be ok! Especially on walls or house paint!
This looks really cool! I'm building the Hero Collector Ecto-1. I just finished issue 6. I like buying something already to plug and play, like this, but, I also like to put things together. Both are nice.
Danoby2 Thanks for the update Danoby! Btw i got to unbox mine, mine came with a defective headlight on the right the one that blinks.. i think the problem is with the wire that supplies power to the light. Messaged Sideshow and they will be replacing my unit . Hassle but at least ill get a new one hopefully perfect this time
Guy Sky Good thing with Sideshow is it is free to ship it back and send it again to me. One of the very reason why i buy from them. They have one of the best after sales service in the business =)
Guy Sky Ah yeah i get it now, true true. Thats why most of the time they just ask you to break the defective piece (i did break a Thanos On Throne Maquette once lol) but maybe this time it is took big of a piece for them to accept a loss hehe
Round blue lights at the front and back of the roof are meant to pulse on and off, looks like Blitzway looked at the refurbed ecto 1 and assumed they're meant to be static.
Wow, this is super cool, so impressed with the engine bay under the hood, it has the gm style parts (A/C compressor, P/S pump, belt, air filter, brake booster, wow, thats dope.
I love how well organised you are at working on stuff. That extra love and care you show plus the precautionary measures you take when piecing this thing together tells me everything about you that the kind of person you are. That is organised, caring, loving and passionate. Especially for this great hobby of ours, toy collecting. 😁. Really enjoyed this video, Danoby 👍👌
Yo it's amazing 😍👌. Wow I am really really happy for you . I got the ecto-1 toy for a little bit and I lost it in a move I was so mad and sad as a kid .man I want one. Make me feel like a kid and I was watching it. Gorgeous
Amazing Ecto 1! They got a couple things wrong though. Driver side strobe light never lit up in the film and the strobe lights on the front and back roof should be blinking. Still impressive!
Yet to see ad a led nametag scrolling sign on top of ecto 1 . Easy extra add can put on top of car. Pretty cheap extra u can find online shopping. A led sign was on top in part 2 gb. Nice review
About the two red tubes on the roof, in the Ghostbusters SEGA Master System game they were used to vacuuming ghosts in the car driving level, if I remember correctly you got $200 for each one captured that way.
The broken piece looks like the oil filter. It probably goes on the bottom of the engine. **edit** It's the body of the starter, you can see it here: th-cam.com/video/qgkjKgVFM9Q/w-d-xo.html
I just viewed your video. Great model!! I don’t know if you found out where the black cylinder goes, but it looks to me as being the oil filter on the engine. Good luck!
Bro, the same exact thing happened to my box as well. They treated it like roadkill! I'm going to unbox it soon just for inspection, but what bothers me is that the box is so mangled up that I don't think there's any point taping it back up together. Even the inner box looks kinda bad.
I was 8 when Ghostbusters came out. I saw it in the theater and it, I mean, changed my life. Opened my mind and some people swear they've seen ghosts. But non of that matters. This item is incredible. For 99.99% of overpriced fan garbage I wouldn't give it a thought. This though, I would really like to have. There are after market parts too like a die cast license plate.
To me the black cylinder that had fallen off looks like an oil filter. Look underneath the engine if there's a provision for it there next to the oil pan. It's a shame the rear doors open the wrong way! I don't remember if they ever open them in the 1984 movie, but in Afterlife at least the right rear door opens backwards, and as far as I know that is how it was on real Miller Meteors too. Still, a very beautiful model, high on detail! Thank you for uploading. :)
With the new movie coming out, I hope there is some thought to re-releasing these. I would realy like to have both the figures and car. But the Ebay prices are insane.
Beautiful.... just an Amazing beautiful Masterpiece I hope to get one! Even I think the lights shouldn't spin that fast and thought they was just flickering on and off or something and the back blue lights flashed on and of kinda slow/fast pace still I want one!! True I was always wondering what was with the double barrel blaster on the top for probably to kinda take on bigger ghosts like it's more powerful than a single proton pack or two still I kinda wish 5they put a scene in the first movie or least kept it in the second movie and used it

wow, thank you for your service!
Hi, is the siren sound will sound off once turned off the player?
Yes well, but sure its annoying in Your home.
Blitzway! You outdone yourselves. This looks "Fantastic, Unbelievable" good job ❤.
Watching this makes me feel like a kid on Christmas morning and its not even mine! Love
it!

Also called the “sniffer”
I hope Blitzway make the Ghostbusters: Afterlife version of Ecto-1 (with a gunner seat and RTVs).
The was good
Good news looks like Blitzway are making it 😀
They are making it now
Wish granted! They are!
Blitzway just announced it about a month ago and it'll be out next year
I NEVER SAW SUCH AN ACCURATE MODEL IN MY LIFE
I love vintage to new toys but these timeless toys melts my heart of nostalgia !!
Imagine having these model back in 80s the 8 years old me will be fricking HYPE !
It be broke first week or day, the sulking face of disappointment too lol too be honest im glad they didnt make it in 80s i had a brother who destroy it like he did most of my diecast collectibles that were very limited. Put this way my brother destroyed my love for collecting back then and one of reasons why i hate him.
Indeed!!! I can not wait until the movie comes out
£1000 in the 80s would would be the equivalent of £2774 in today's money
I just showed this to my father. He said it looks expensive, lol. Your reviews are excellent. I appreciate this. My dad was very impressed.
Love the tour of the ECTO-1. One of the nicest collectibles I have ever seen.
Finally someone put a figure inside that ecto. Looks amazing.
Whoa im so glad someone made this beauty! Im personally not a huge ghostbusters fan but im glad to see other companies are making things like this its great for the hobby ! Enjoy !
Beautiful, great attention to detail! I remember seeing Ghostbusters in the cinema, loved it and still do!
Oh can't wait for blitzway announcement!! They teased 12.2021 !
Can't stop watch this unboxing!!

Wow! A very cool fun fact! Thanks for sharing!
Hearing the sirene Always make me Laugh , BTW the dual running lights are gorgeous
Very cool, the attention to details with working lights. It's worth every penny. 😉👍
The detail is absolutely incredible, wow, even down to the collapsed seats!

Building the new Lego Ecto-1 right now. Was browsing YT for some vibes. That model of yours is simply amazing! What an absolute beauty.

WoW! The details are Nuckin Futs! Those seats really looked like they wer real. Hell, most of it looked real. Just amazing
Yo I want this ... didn't know they made it that big 😍😍🔥🔥
Check out the Delorian by Hot Toys than 😀
WOW. I was watching Adam Savage's Tested channel. He's building this model from the kit and he's still working on the engine block and may never finish the thing. It was a pleasure to see the finished form.
It is different model with different scale
Likely the Eaglemoss Ecto 1, which I’m also building via subscription & multiple shipments. Nice unboxing & review - I think that black cylinder goes on the roof rack over the black circle ⚫️.
Amazing piece, the fingers make it look even better. I've never heard of Blitzway re-releasing an item, and I've been buying from them for years.
Do you think they could release a ECTO-1A version as a re-issue of ECTO-1?
@@max.seher.3 it's possible since it's a different look, but honestly I doubt it. They would have to receive a lot of requests from collectors to make that happen.
@@ramonlinares5010 This might happen in the future though ☺ That would be great anyway 😊
WoW! Thanks for sharing this. Really cool.
Excellent "Toy"
This is the greatest, make it sure you keep everything pristine, even the box and packaging. When you're done enjoying it put it away and save it, itll be worth big bucks when you're 60!!!
Absolutely incredible. I am late to comment on this. I look forward to 1A.
The original ambulance that the Ecto-1 was built from, was built in a small town (Piqua, Ohio) in a car factory called Miller Meteor ! My hometown !
COOL!!!!!
*Very expensive, but WOW, it looks AMAZING!!! I would love to have one of these bad boys!!!* 👻
That’s pure nostalgia amazing beautiful work of art congratulations Danoby2..
I would LOVE to have this thing! But A. The expense, and B. It's so huge, I don't know where the heck I'd put it.
The detail is incredible!
Jeff Vader_Head_Of_Catering can always find space but money is different 🤔🤑🤑🤑
I almost don't want to watch because I'm so jealous. Such a beautiful awesome collectible. If I didn't have a Batman only rule I'd be all over this.
HEY!! Thanks for watching!!! :)
Wow that is a beautiful piece right there. Blitzway did a fabulous job with attention to little details with this baby.
Wow looks amazing! I want one
Nice car. If I could afford one I'd probably buy one. Thank you for sharing!
Roof rack! It’s beautiful!
Poster tack will leave an oil spot and run on stickers or decals,fabric and flat paints but gloss should be ok! Especially on walls or house paint!
What a super model toy! Fantastic ,
What a beautiful piece of art & engineering with such a great attention to details, great video Danoby2, congrats for showing us this masterpiece!
This looks really cool! I'm building the Hero Collector Ecto-1. I just finished issue 6. I like buying something already to plug and play, like this, but, I also like to put things together. Both are nice.
I thought about though about the Hero version, until I found out it'll cost just as much and take 2 years to build. :(
Kindly update us on that “broken” piece!
The location was found and photo posted on my community bulletin board! It was the starter mounted underneath!
Danoby2 Thanks for the update Danoby! Btw i got to unbox mine, mine came with a defective headlight on the right the one that blinks.. i think the problem is with the wire that supplies power to the light.

Does it fit on top, the spider looking thing. Looks like it could fit there. Thanks
Ecto 1 yes
Glad you got it because I’m not affording it anytime soon. Definitely looks good and a great size. 👍🏻😇
So awesome! Looks well worth the money with all the fine details. Great video.
Round blue lights at the front and back of the roof are meant to pulse on and off, looks like Blitzway looked at the refurbed ecto 1 and assumed they're meant to be static.
I remember that was the popular toys (Ghost buster) during that time here in the Philippines (1984) i remember my childhood days.....
My God - it is beautiful. I wish I could afford it. Happy for you
I would love to get my hands on this. It looks awesome.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers.
Wow, this is super cool, so impressed with the engine bay under the hood, it has the gm style parts (A/C compressor, P/S pump, belt, air filter, brake booster, wow, thats dope.
Every unboxing video: let’s look at this cardboard for 10 minutes
I love how well organised you are at working on stuff. That extra love and care you show plus the precautionary measures you take when piecing this thing together tells me everything about you that the kind of person you are. That is organised, caring, loving and passionate. Especially for this great hobby of ours, toy collecting. 😁. Really enjoyed this video, Danoby 👍👌
wow just wow, amazing,kinda heavy hit, and takes up lot of real estate but worth it, could easily be a major focal point of anyones collection .
Imagine getting this for christmas...
That would be a treat.
Stuffs like this is why the 4K button exist in TH-cam 😁
All in the little details
Wow just wow. Danoby you must have had a blast seeing this in your collection man
And then some!
Yo it's amazing 😍👌. Wow I am really really happy for you . I got the ecto-1 toy for a little bit and I lost it in a move I was so mad and sad as a kid .man I want one. Make me feel like a kid and I was watching it. Gorgeous
Great video red tubes are called the sniffer ! hope you find out what the broken piece is looks like a oil filter
Uff increíble! 👍🤘👏👏
Great video..I would love to have one but the amount of room you would need.
The video is great. I am looking for it right now and try to buy this ECTO 1 and ship it to my home town. Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome piece!!!!! Worth having for any ghostbusters fan
Totally superb.the siren did it for me
absolutely amazing haappy for you you should be rich to have this room of dreams ! i always wanted one and the dolorean and kitt 2000 !
Thank you so much!!
If they do a Knight Industries Two Thousand in this level of detail, then I might start saving. Phenomenal. What series GB figures did you use?
Just got my sideshow ecto 1 and it truly looks amazing.
Amazing, great ecto 1 vehicle.
It looks great, and not having rotating lightbars would have been a deal-breaker for me, they just don't appear bright enough.
it looks like you didnt have to build it good video dude
Amazing Ecto 1! They got a couple things wrong though. Driver side strobe light never lit up in the film and the strobe lights on the front and back roof should be blinking. Still impressive!

It's the body of the starter, you can see it here: th-cam.com/video/qgkjKgVFM9Q/w-d-xo.html
You found it!! Thanks!!!
It takes me back to my childhood when i first saw the movie
Red tubes are known as the "Ghost Sniffer/s" aka ghost detector.
This made me cry in happy tears like after all the crappy and ok ecto1s I’ve seen this this cannot be heated by anything
This is a work of art to have but a pain in the ass to build
I hope an RCD modder buys this and makes it 100%RC, with sirens, and fully working gas shocks. This 1/6 scale is primed for an RC MOD!!
Coolest thing...ever!
I just viewed your video. Great model!! I don’t know if you found out where the black cylinder goes, but it looks to me as being the oil filter on the engine. Good luck!
Awesome😁
Nice one. Very interesting unboxing.
Glad you liked it!
Ordered 2 of these. In Michigan. The condition of the boxes looks like it dropped from the moon. Haven't opened yet. Just came in last night
Yikes!! Hope they're ok!
Bro, the same exact thing happened to my box as well. They treated it like roadkill! I'm going to unbox it soon just for inspection, but what bothers me is that the box is so mangled up that I don't think there's any point taping it back up together. Even the inner box looks kinda bad.
The model is awesome 😎
wow im no collector or fan of the ghostbusters but that is impressive. The amount of detail is incredible. I saw one on ebay going for $4k
I was 8 when Ghostbusters came out. I saw it in the theater and it, I mean, changed my life. Opened my mind and some people swear they've seen ghosts. But non of that matters.

Still, a very beautiful model, high on detail! Thank you for uploading. :)
The rear doors is actually correct on this 1984 model. Their new Afterlife version (coming out 2023) has the door backwards like you mentioned.
@@PokemanOkie Yes, I did some research on my own after writing the comment (about time then...) and I stand corrected. :)
What an eye candy!!!
The Eagle Moss Ecto is much more detailed and less toy like but is a little more costly iam currently on step 6 of mine and very impressed thus far
I agree. I am enjoying building my Ecto-1. I'm almost done with the Delorean and I just started the Jeep Willy.
A thing of beauty.
Omg I really hope that they blitsway releases a Ecto1 from afterlife
With the new movie coming out, I hope there is some thought to re-releasing these. I would realy like to have both the figures and car. But the Ebay prices are insane.
Beautiful.... just an Amazing beautiful Masterpiece I hope to get one! Even I think the lights shouldn't spin that fast and thought they was just flickering on and off or something and the back blue lights flashed on and of kinda slow/fast pace still I want one!! True I was always wondering what was with the double barrel blaster on the top for probably to kinda take on bigger ghosts like it's more powerful than a single proton pack or two still I kinda wish 5they put a scene in the first movie or least kept it in the second movie and used it
Some collectors need a reissue of this figures and car... Maybe a Ghostbusters 2 themed reissue?
I would go for that!
That replication was so awesome
Those tubes are a ‘sniffer’ that detects any/all residual ectoplasmic particulates which might go airborne if an entity flees during combat. Essentially it’s a type of directional tracker 👻
Unbelievable product.
Found a pic online. Looks like it's the starter! Would attach to the trans bellhousing on the bottom by the oil pan
What size Moduspace display case did you use? Df120?
