so its the same or a crappier copy?

So it's bigger than the biggest Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A that were released recently... but they've removed a load of details?

From what I've seen of it from pictures there are no decals on the roof rack or equipment and little to no paint detail on those things either, and as far as the rest of the car I also noticed from pictures that the blue deck lights on the roof and the strobes from the grill are gone. Those are things I've noticed so because of that I'm ONLY SPECULATING that there'll be no decals or paint detailing in the back of Ecto and no pack gurney either.

And I thought this thing was suppose to come in a window box like any other vehicles they've put out in their Heritage Series?

People moaned about the cost of the Elite, and now they are complaining about the detail on this less expensive version.

Can't please anyone sometimes.

I hope my post wasn't the basis of yours cause the other 2 posts were asking questions and I was merely pointing out the differences between the Elite and the Heritage that I noticed in pictures I seen of the Heritage. My only complaint was the packaging not being a window box.

Frankly I'm glad it doesn't have the window box.

Window boxes lead to damaged items, which is a problem for me.

I can see your point AJ. I got a small collection of die cats and with the exception of the Elites I've been trying to get them in two's, one to display out of the box and one to display in the box, the only reason I like the window boxes is that you can still see the vehicles despite them still being in the box. I know some of you may be thinking "You can see the one's that are displayed out of box so why would you need to see the one's that are still in the box?", I don't know it's just one of my quirks I guess.

I got one of these today and it's basically a less detailed version of the elite. The paint on the roof rack is mostly just white, the backs doors, hood and trunk don't open (although I got the hood to open by removing a few screws) and there's no paint on the interior as well as no packs.

Aside from those thing it is pretty nice and well detailed. It could probably be made to look better with some decals and a little bit of paint here and there. The one major issue I have though is that the tail lights are clear and not red. I don't understand why they would overlook that detail.

[metallijosh]
