Make of that what you will! Overall, it is a must-have display piece as it looks truly majestic in real life. Three 1x4x3 bricks are included with a printed Ghostbusters logo, though. However, it does (again) come with many stickers, like all the rusty spots. It is a beautiful hommage to the entire Ghostbusters saga. This set has just over half of the pieces from the largest set (the Firehouse) and guarantees for hours of building fun. There are too many awesome details to discuss here you should definitely view it at your local LEGO store. The car’s wheels can also be turned, and the doors can be opened on all sides. The “RC-DC”-like (for the Call of Duty fans) ghost trap that is often used in the film is also included. There is a gunner seat that can rotate out of the car to catch ghosts while the Ecto-1 is moving. The rust all over the car shows that it is the original vehicle, now degraded after almost 40 years. The model is almost half a meter long (47mcm / 18.5 inch) and features many details from the film. The final set as of 2022, is the still available 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1! Created to celebrate the release of the 2021 sequel film (Ghostbusters Afterlife), fans can enjoy building an almost “UCS”-like Ecto-1. The set is quite expensive to get new in box nowadays, but it will certainly guarantee for lots of building fun. Four ghosts are also included in the set, like the Library Ghost with a double-sided head to reveal her monstrous face. Now all Ghostbusters come with printed arms, and Peter Venkman even has a slimed torso. The set comes with 10 exclusive minifigures, with which you can easily populate the building. There is even a firefighters’ pole to quickly climb down from the top floor. The building can be unfolded to reveal lots of recognizable scenes, like the slimy encounter with one of the included ghosts (Slimer), or the shiny Animated Toaster from Ghostbusters II. But we know better! It perfectly represents the classic firehouse in which the Ecto-1 is stored. To a mere layman, it looks like a regular firehouse with a sidewalk, with a pretty dull color scheme of grey and a tint of red. There it is, the original Ghostbusters’ headquarters! This is the biggest set of the theme, with almost 5,000 pieces. The set comes with four printed curved slopes with the Ghostbusters logo on it, which is used in two other sets as well. Its interior is quite simple and can host third minifigures – one in the back and two (although very tightly) in the front. In fact, every minifigure has a unique torso as their initials are printed on the chest. The torsos are nicely designed with a front and back print. You can even display the minifigures together on a small display stand! Overall, it’s beautifully designed and starts the theme off greatly.Īll minifigures are exclusive to this set and feature a proton pack (with printed pieces) on their backs to capture the ghosts. We see the original iterations of the four main characters, and a slightly larger than minifigure-sized Ecto-1, the famous car from the 1984 film. With that, it is also the first ever set to feature the name “LEGO Ideas”, instead of the former “LEGO Cuusoo” line. This first set is the sixth LEGO Ideas set to have been released by The LEGO Group. RRP: $49.99 | €49.99 Year Released: 2014 Pieces: 508 Minifigures: 4 (all exclusive to this set) The theme has a lot to offer and might even inspire you to purchase its only currently available set. In this article, we will explore the various iterations of both locations and vehicles based on Ghostbusters. Only two are officially listed as so, whilst there are a total of 7 sets inspired by the original film, its sequels and spinoff. As stated in the introduction, not all sets have been released under the theme “LEGO Ghostbusters”. Featuring Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore, the four main characters are represented in minifigure form. Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! LEGO Ghostbusters brings the 1984 film to life for the first time in 2014. This “theme” – which wasn’t always a dedicated theme – is one of the first fan-designed pop culture projects actually released in stores. It is no surprise that the influence of large communities behind these franchises makes it easier to reach those 10,000 votes needed to be reviewed by The LEGO Group. In the quarterly rounds of LEGO Ideas, we often see fans replicating their favorite movie scenes and characters using the LEGO brick. LEGO is known for its affiliation with many franchises, most of which are inspired or based on pop culture.
