Glad I could help. Thank you for watching. :)

Indeed it is but it's very old and may not be for sale anymore. It was released in 2017. A lot of the sets that I own are very old.

Thank you! I truly had no idea why that was there. I've played Super Mario games but never the Super Mario 64 version.

Hello :)

I have to remember that all English are British but not all British are English. A bit of geographic ignorance on my part. :) And yes, the Aston Martin is a British brand. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

You're welcome! It's somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only person who made that mistake. I usually make at least one mistake in almost all of my LEGO builds. :) Thanks for watching!

Yes. In some of my other videos I often complain about stickers in general (I don't like them), but the mud stickers for this set in particular I felt didn't add any value, and I like the cleaner look without them. I saved the stickers though, just in case I have a change of heart in the future.

I remember when I got the UCS Millennium Falcon over a decade ago, I was missing a whole 50 pages out of the manual. I contacted LEGO customer service and they sent me a new manual for free (which is impressive given the instructions are a coiled book almost 500 pages long). Give customer service a try! Or, here's a link to the PDF instructions: www.lego.com/en-ca/service/buildinginstructions/75304

Thanks. Have fun building yours!

Thank you for the detailed information. Yes, the parts that broke on me were from MetalBeard's Sea Cow, released in 2014. I've already submitted a request for replacement parts. It's good to know they may have corrected the issue with later sets. Unfortunately I own a lot of sets prior to 2017 - so I'll have to be careful.

There must be something about the additive used to make the colour that causes it to be brittle.

Thanks! It got to the point where every time I went to remove a brown coloured piece I got nervous, lol. Just something to watch out for I guess.

I agree. I loved the cartoon, specifically "The Real Ghostbusters". Of course I'm old enough to have watched the cartoons when they first came out in the mid to late 80's. Looking back, the animation was a bit rough, but I think the story / episodes were better. Almost wish they did a live action TV series in the same style.

You are totally correct. I built the set so long ago that I forgot it was even there. I had to get my set off the shelf and take a look. In the right hand door, there's a panel that swings down and there's a red phone inside. So cool how many things they fit into this relatively compact set.

Is that what they are?? I guess I need to go back and watch some of the old TV series to see if they ever get used in an episode.

A little history on the car

lol, yeah some days my head is in the clouds and I just make a lot of mistakes. :)

Thank you! Yes, I am always impressed with how much detail can be put in a very small build. Larger builds are fun too, but it's nice to get a build done in less than an hour sometimes. :) I have a lot of these smaller size builds to do so there will be more to come.

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the comment. 😊 The final video for this set build will be posted on November 9th so check back then to see the finished set.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! :)

I don't think this set is available for sale directly from the LEGO company as I believe it was a 'gift with purchase' from several years ago. You may be able to find it on Bricklink, or you can get the instructions from the LEGO company as a PDF download and order individual parts through their 'pick-a-brick' system. I've put a link to the building instructions in the description for this video.

Yeah, they are quite detailed. I normally don't like LEGO sets with a lot of unique molded parts, but when these came out I just had to have them. I also have a larger model of General Grievous which is more of a regular LEGO set. It's not build right now, so I'll have to do that as a video one day. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! :)

:) There's a smaller version of the ECTO-1 that comes with 4 minifigs, but it doesn't have all the cool play features that this one has.

Thanks! 😊

Thank you! :)

Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment! :D

@@brickbuffoon7762 No Problem brother! Keep it up!

I have many more Ninjago sets to build. Thank you for watching!

@@brickbuffoon7762 welcome btw do you have ninjago city markets i recommend getting it before it goes out of the official lego store. (Also it is in backorder so it probably wont arrive for 60 days or more). I look foreword to watching more of your videos.😎👌✌peace

I do not have that one yet. I may have to take my chances and wait a bit as I've told myself I have to build what I already have before I can buy anything new, and I have some older Ninjago city sets to build yet (city gardens and city docks). But thank for the reminder - it is a great looking set. I would love to add it to my collection.

@@brickbuffoon7762 Also I have and will continue sharing your channel with all of my friends and family.

@@brickbuffoon7762 I totally agree

:D

lol, true, and in the movie Q says "they are valid in all countries'. A pretty neat feat for only having 4 sides.

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad you liked it. :D

I've learned my lesson with sets in the past to keep them out of the sun. I have a set that is mostly white and all the pieces turned yellow after about a year on display near the window. This Death Star set has been safely tucked away in a dark basement all these years.

I'd like to see more playsets like this. I find a lot of the larger Star Wars sets are just static display pieces which look nice but don't have any functionality.

@@brickbuffoon7762 Exactly! Don’t get me wrong, I love me some uber detailed UCS sets, or even some playscale sets that look nicer than they play, but I feel like a lot of AFOLs forget about the main audience, kids. One of my all time favorites is the 2006 slave one because of its unique display ability combined with all the play features and compartments and weapons

me too!

The emperor's throne room battle is my favourite!

the hangar bay because of the floor elevator and the blast door

@@chocolate_maned_wolf for sure! there's a lot of functionality just in that room, and it looks good too. :)

Good question. It's going to go in the basement, likely on the floor for now - I've run out of table space down there due to the LEGO village already on display. Going to have to figure out what to do for display space in the next couple of months.

It's definitely one of the larger sets I have. I'm excited to see it running as well!

Thank you! Just a few more videos to go before it's finished and we get to see the motorized functions in action.

:) I certainly can play longer with this as the ghosts never catch him.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun building this set and I often just watch the movement to relax from time to time, lol.

Ever since I watched The LEGO Movie I always imagine the minifigs trying to talk to me when I'm putting them in weird situations. :)

Hello! If I place it on a flat, hard surface and turn it on I don't hear the clicks. In the video I'm running it on a blanket and my best guess is the legs are just encountering enough resistance to the motion that the gears are skipping a bit. It is hard to see the internal mechanism moving when it is turned on to verify this. If I take it apart one day I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of wear on some of the gears. Try on a hard surface or even hold it by the handle on top and let the legs move in just air and see if you still get the clicks.

Some love for the mouse droid! Thanks for watching and commenting. :D

Very cute! :D And I definitely have some memories of tiger stripe ice cream. I haven't had it in a very long time, but building this set made me think of it again.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I'm sure there will be more multi part videos in the future as I have a lot of large piece count sets, and I have a hard time cutting anything out of the builds when I do the editing. :)

Maybe sneakily stealing the fish, lol. :)

@@brickbuffoon7762 I like it!

@@diannemoldowan2602 Thank you :)
