This has been about 3 years in the planning, I finally got around to finishing them off tonight, My Indiana Jones Ikea frames

I was originally going to have one frame per film but then I realised some films would be short on minifigs and I really didn't have the wall space for 4, so now it's 2 films per frame starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom...

and The Last Crusade and The Kingdom of the Disappointing Sequel...

Ghostbusters set revealed at the New York Toy Fair!


EDIT> Better pics and story on the CUUSOO Blog

Awesome! But I liked your custom hair piece better.

 

[wetwired]

How close is it to your build?

Similar in some ways, different in others, they've used different techniques to get the same result for a few things (like the sides) while other parts are completely different.

Here's the rundown from the CUUSOO Blog I posted

LEGO Ghostbusters Set Revealed at ToyFair New York

Today we gave a first look at 21108 LEGO® Ghostbusters™ to select collector and LEGO fan press at ToyFair New York, and here it is for you as well!

It’s not every year a pop culture classic like Ghostbusters has a big anniversary, so the team here at LEGO CUUSOO has been working overtime to make this set available as soon as possible. 21108 LEGO Ghostbusters will be available for purchase in June 2014 for USD $49.99 / CAD $59.99.

First, some details from the set’s description:

This fun and iconic vehicle from the blockbusting ‘80s movie is fully loaded with all the paranormal detection equipment needed to track down those ghastly ghosts. It also features cool Ghostbusters logo decoration, removable roof, tracking computer and seats for 3 minifigures.

 

[Rootbeer]

Dang, that Ghostbusters looking GREAT! Can't wait to put it with my Delorean! It's beautiful

[Rootbeer]

Ahh, Toyfair! Such an exciting week for a geek like me :3

Haha, I was curious how the mini-ified version of Metalbeard would turn out. Look at that brick-made shark on his arm! Looks great.

Well... I think I will get this set and maybe the SPACESHIP!, I think that's about all the room I have left for Movie sets in my budget. Emmet's Mech will have to convince me!

Anyway, still, $250 big ones, whew! Sure would be nice to get an amazon or B&N discount on this thing. Too bad that won't be happening Best I can hope for is double VIP

That is an absolute beast of a set. I'm sure the build will be excellent as well.

 

[JonathanEx]

That's an amazing set!

I sort of wish the bunk-couch was available separately, that as a mini-set with an Emmet, but... can see why. Because they're smart bastards.

Congratulations on the Ecto-1 set, wetwired! I like the minifig display too.

Where will I be able to buy this besides s@h?

Even if it looks ok I don't like the sails not being of the classic real kind. Neither the name or the cow itself doesn't strike my fancy... Still one of the most tempting sets.

Still absorbing all of the new sets... so many wonderful things

This one really caught my eye... WOWZA

I dug Galaxy Squad but this Agents theme is such a refresher.

Cool thing about how they pulled off the sides of it: new bricks! The newer 2x2 and 1x2 bow pieces. So, not only do we get an awesome Ghostbusters set originally designed by you, but we get newer brick types as well.

Congrats again on this, man. And awesome that they are rushing this one through to get it out by summer.

EDIT: Just read the blog post. And I wonder if they could have used Lord Business's hair for Peter.

Really liking the Mixels. Great parts; those eyes will be tremendously useful for more cute MOCs.

I'm also attracted to the Kre-o microfigures. LEGO should add arms too

Ooooooh. I need it. But I must wait. Must wait. No mention in the press release or anything about a limited run, so I probably have most of the year to snag it.

Ghostbusters is one set I am NOT waiting on though.

Oh boy. No kidding.

Alot of stuff that I want but some designs are not what I had in mind and kind of "ruins it".

Not my type, for example. Not in this Tron kind of way.

[FUBAR McDangles]

Thanks for the link, Zulithe.

Best part about the Rebels line is that it's the standard minifigure style. It's not that crappy big-eyed crazy people look that the Clone Wars line has/had. Outside of the stylized Stormtrooper stuff it looks good, IMO.

Looks like I'll get Snowspeeder/Phantom/Ghost. B-Wing minifigures look great.

ATAT looks fantastic but it's probably outside of my price range.

And I laughed pretty hard at the prominent figure on the box of the new Star Wars advent calendar.

The Mos Eisley cantina looks nice. Dewgong and Sandtrooper are nice. Looks like you only get one of them + three of the bandmembers so that's interesting. Old Ben figure is impressive. Han comes with two faces.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Such a waste. Two iconic things in X-Men lore (Sentinels and the Blackbird) jammed together in one tiny set. Both deserved better.

Still wont stop me from buying it though. I need those figures.

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=31225296&cp=&parentPage=search

Oooooh~! Where did this set come from? This is part of the second run?

 

[Rootbeer]

Yeah, you just can't pass on those minifigs if you are into X-Men. The Sential and Blackbird also make good bases for building larger versions though, so it's something. Sadly that doesn't solve the problem of the Sentinal head which I still don't really care for. Was hoping they'd do redesign it further than this. Maybe it will grow on me.

Oooooh~! Where did this set come from? This is part of the second run?

I know! I had no idea this existed. Maybe a TRU exclusive? Things I noticed on it: Shredder and both turtles have different printing, but it's slight (shredder in purple instead of a reddish color this time, and both turtles have new face expressions)

Also the robot foot soldier is new but it's not all that enticing.

Still I'll buy it!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

If the rumor of an UCS Batman Tumbler is true, maybe we can get an UCS Sentinel or Blackbird someday.

 

[Fowler]

Was thinking that the Ghostbusters set was an absurdly quick turnaround for a CUUSOO set, but I think June marks the 30th anniversary so that makes sense!

 

[ghostmind]

Similar in some ways, different in others, they've used different techniques to get the same result for a few things (like the sides) while other parts are completely different.

Looking good!

Congrats again Brent - it must feel pretty amazing seeing your work made official by LEGO.

 

[ghostmind]

Due to other commitments today, I won't be able to put up a ToyFair gallery as I did last year.

Maybe later today I'll post up some select images. It's a great day to be a fan of LEGO!

A thousand times this. The most frustrating part of the Clone Wars line was the horrid minifig head designs. I'm so glad/relieved that they decided to go with the mainstream look this time with Rebels.

 

[neonglow]

So much info so quickly. We're used to having this stuff drip out over several weeks.

I know! I am getting spoiled. I am also cringing at the thought of everything I need to buy this summer, not to mention the big sets already released that I missed, like Simpsons and Sydney Opera House.

 

[ghostmind]

Looks like that CITY Arctic plane is a store-exclusive, as is the TMNT set posted above. There should be a few more exclusives in the other lines revealed soon as well.

I signed up for the Toys R Us email notification for when it comes in stock. Hopefully it's soon.

 

[kapowza]

hurrah, with an Ernie Hudson minifig I can finally start my Oz mocs

 

[ghostmind]

Apparently LEGO doesn't want pics of the GotG sets being taken, but I'm hoping for some stealth shots today... such as this one!

GROOT!. But I see no mention of a sound brick. Shame.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Snowspeeder is $30 I might buy two.

That Jedi Patrol ship or whatever was a bit expensive.

Ghost = $90, Phantom = $25. Kinda expensive just to get both.

Cantina is $70 as well. I'm sure most of this is known already by most of you but it's news to me.

Man the new Dewback for the Cantina set is nice! Movable jaw too !

So bought!

Loving the look of the Ghostbusters set!

 

[Draxal]

A thousand times this. The most frustrating part of the Clone Wars line was the horrid minifig head designs. I'm so glad/relieved that they decided to go with the mainstream look this time with Rebels.

The only clone war figures I have are the mandos, clones and droids for this very reason.

I love the new snowtroopers.

I also really like Chopper.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I love the new snowtroopers.

Best troopers out there. They have the coolest look, and were the only Imperial Forces in the films to never lose a battle.

 

[DrForester]

Going to the LEGO movie again. Going to try out a new restaurant theater.

Then I might go buy the Metalbeard set...

 

[eso76]

Lego used to be awesome, but all these custom pieces is kinda missing the point.
Just my two cents, creeping back inside the hole where i came from.

 

[kapowza]

I thought TLC had actually reduced the overall number number of different pieces they use quite significantly. I'm just after building the simpsons house and other than stuff for the minifigs to hold it's all 'normal' bits that make it up.

Speaking of the simpsons house, I'll need to get some extra tiles with studs on them, make more of the furniture attach to the floor.

 

[Draxal]

Ghost and Phantom docked together.

 

[Rootbeer]

Looks fantastic. Haven't been this interested in a 'new' SW ship in a long time.
