In which case, you will also receive the gifts sooner than at the normal rate. Do note that these are the magazine "issue" numbers, and not the shipment/package numbers, because you have the option to "accelerate" your subscription so that you can receive more issues and parts sets per shipment (6, 8, or 12, instead of 4).

According to my source at Eaglemoss, you will get the Ecto-1 license plate replica with Issue #7, the baseball cap with Issue #15, the t-shirt with Issue #23, and the display base with Issue #39. As detailed in my review of the introductory package, later packages will include other gifts. This is one of several gifts included with a subscription. It measures 9"x12"x3" and features beautiful photos of the Ecto-1 model on the front, back, and spine. It's a hard, sturdy, paperboard binder with 16 detachable plastic pins, which are used to hold the magazines inside the binder. Included in the second package is the binder to hold the magazines in.

I'm going to hold off on doing that, as it would be best to just build it once I have all of the parts. The most I could do right now is to assemble the parts given to me. Obviously, I don't have the completed model to show you. No glue or paint is needed, though you will need the mini-screwdriver included with the introductory package and your own pair of pliers.

Parts Set #6 - Parts of the engine, starting with the left engine block, cylinder head and exhaust manifold.Īll parts either snap or screw in place.

Parts Set #5 - The transmission and engine as you assemble and fit the gearbox and bell housing.

Parts Set #4 - The front left tire, along with the wheel parts and caps.

Parts Set #3 - The chrome-effect front bumper parts and the frames and lenses for the fog lights.

Get it? The four parts sets included with this issue are: Think of it as "the Cadillac of Ecto-1 models". That's roughly TWO AND A HALF FEET! I would not be surprised if the car ends up weighing a good 10 pounds, too. When finished, it will measure a whopping 31.5" long. The model pieces are large and heavy due to the fact that this is made of die-cast metal! Yeah, this isn't a cheap little plastic model, like the old Ertl Ecto-1A. Okay, now that we're all on the same page, let's look at what is in the latest package.

If you're just joining in on the fun, be sure to read my review of Issues #1 and #2 (the introductory package) to fill you in on what to expect from the "Build The Ghostbusters Ecto-1" model subscription. That means that next month (June), I will receive Magazine "Issue #4" and Parts Sets #7, #8, #9, #10.

Magazine "Issue #3" comes with Parts Sets #3, #4, #5, #6. Magazine "Issue #2" comes with Parts Set #2 (in Package #1). Magazine "Issue #1" comes with Parts Set #1 (in Package #1). I have been told by my source at Eaglemoss that there are a total of 36 magazines and 141 model parts sets in the subscription.įor the record, with this being the second package, here is the rundown so far: The model car parts will be referred to as "parts sets". Given that (starting with the second package) it's "one magazine per four sets of parts", and at the standard rate, you get one magazine with four sets of parts each month, I will be referring to each package/collection of items by the "issue" number of the magazine. Also, the name "issue" is more frequently used for readable periodicals and not model parts. Eaglemoss refers to both the magazines AND model parts as "issues", but that will lead to great confusion because it's not "one magazine per one set of parts". This review remains online for posterity only.ĭeagostini's Fanhome brand took over the model after Eaglemoss went out of business.Ĭlick here for updated purchase links and additional information.īefore I get down to the details, I have to explain the terms I will be using.
