Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

It is big, heavy and awkward. Nothing to really grab and pick it up with.

I lift under the front and back bumpers.

The box not the car. The shipper is getting beat up because there is nothing to pick up the box with, not complaining as that is what it is for.

Blitzway did an amazing job protecting these things from UPS.

It should have yellow straps on the outside of the shipper I pulled to lift up two of them like handle bars.

One was gone and the other one was loose. It had a rough trip but the art box and car look perfect.

that's how most of the boxes get cut by those straps.

All setup and ready to go. Everything works and i could not find any QC issues. I am very happy with it

Oh my...it absolutely looks massive next to the Delorean!!

Thats a great side by side comparison pic, lights on and all. Congrats on the piece.....

That's a great pic Subzro. It really pops, with all the lights. (Is the headlight on the right, slightly dimmer?) Looking forward to getting mine later this month.
I hope Blitzway will not be afraid to tackle other vehicles in the future. Imagine a Blade Runner Police Spinner, with all it's flashing lights.

Picked mine up a little earlier. Probably going to wait until the weekend to open it up.

Is that a 6?4? bed? Just wondering because I?m getting mine next week.

Chevy Colorado shortbed so five feet. Box is a little over four and a half.

Man it seems like these boxes are really taking a beating for some reason.

That box doesn't look beat up. Unless someone collects shipper boxes.

 

[GuruAskew]

People on this forum do collect shipper boxes. I always thought it was crazy but it?s absolutely a thing here. I remember some people would ask SSC to double-box their order so they?d get a pristine shipper.

Quick mod/trick to hide the ridiculous USB cable that connects the MP3 player.

This was something quick and simple and looks a whole lot better then just having that long USB cable hanging all over the place.

I?m actually going to paint the USB cable Black and replace the clear zip ties with black ones so that they blend in with the ladder and with the black tubing along the roof top.

Might be awhile with everything being on lock down before I can get the paint and zip ties but just wanted to share this quick mod.

Can also just purchase a 1ft black USB to USB cable and tuck the portable USB charger underneath the roof rack.

Nice work trying to make it look part of the car, although it's still too much of an eyesore for my taste. Right now I just store the cable behind the car and plug it in when I want to hear the sound effects. Hopefully someday I can find a better solution, but it's not really high on my to-do list at the moment.

Yeah it sucks that they didn?t think this through, but I actually think using a black 1ft usb to usb cable instead of the extra long white one will look better.

Maybe even wrapping the cable in some sort of black tubing/hose would work.
