![]() ![]() Once again, we see the 18+ branding: the black box the strip of bricks along the bottom, and the necessary branging for the car: The Box is Labelled Ghostbusters – using the the font and logo from the movie. I have had the good fortune to look at a number of sets aimed at older builders this year, and while many of them have a level of appeal, this one has probably hit exactly the right nostalgia notes for me: more than Mario/ NES, more than the piano and more than the Batwing. When LEGO gave me the chance to review the new ECTO-1 Set, I was excited. Perhaps the Crocodile released earlier than planned, to olug a gap left by the delayed movie release? Or perhaps it was just to reserve 10274 for a set with its roots in Manhattan? 10274 would normally be expected to have been seen by now. [ 10273 was the Haunted House – released in May 10275 Elf Club House was released in October, 10277 Crocodile Locomotive was released in July. Rumor has it that there have been a few shuffles in the overall release schedule to accomodate it. However, I suspect the delay in releasing the movie left a bit of a gap in the LEGO release schedule. Seeing Venkmen, Egon, and the team defeat the forces of Zuul and Gozer (in the form of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man) gave me a feeling of elation: seeing the misfits triumph over the system, and saving the day.įrom what I have seen in the trailer to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I suspect there might be the same level of joy in that film to be had for the next generation. The original Ghostbusters movie was also released. Teenage confusion, a love of science and hormones all worked together to give me the feeling of being a bit of an outsider. When the release of the sequel has been delayed as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, I have only nostalgia to go on… Join me as I take a close look at the new 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1. When a sequel comes along 36 years after the original, you normally have a level of expectation.

It is crammed full of authentic features and easter eggs that I’m excited for builders to discover as they put this model together.” This is the largest and most detailed version of this car that we have ever created. LEGO designer Michael Psiaki noted how this version of the Ectomobile has been the most detailed yet, “I love creating LEGO vehicles, and having previously designed the LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5, I loved the challenge of working on the ECTO-1. LEGO has introduced two new LEGO brick elements with this set as well: a 6×14 curved windshield and a new five-module steering wheel.įinishing off the vehicle’s design is a tiny Ghostbusters logo emblazoned on the passenger and driver door. The car comes with a moving ghost sniffer, a working steering wheel, an extendable rear gunner seat and a plethora of other paranormal detection equipment on the roof rack.
