A few days ago, Paul Feig, the writer and director of the new all-female cast of Ghostbusters, tweeted saying there will be some fun stuff from LEGO that will be based off the movie. We already knew that there will be at least one set because of the licensing announcement back in November.
Fast forward to today where Just2Good on Eurobricks has posted that one set (75828) will be the new Ecto-1 which is the 1980’s Cadillac Fleetwood station wagon. Of course, there’s no images yet but it’ll be based on the vehicle seen above. There’s not other information given besides that but hopefully it’ll be large enough to fit all four of the new Ghostbusters crew unlike the Ideas Ecto-1 (21108) which couldn’t hold all four and the proton packs.
There’s also no word on how many sets will be released based on the movie so there’s much speculation there too as well. From the sound of Feig’s tweet, it might suggest a couple of sets but we’ll see. The new Ghostbusters movie will be released in theaters on July 15.
Fun stuff coming from LEGO too. Just FYI. Sorry, bank account. https://t.co/qs1ZjVMXAX

This new movie with all-women ghost-busters is gona blow.
With your psychic powers you should go on tour, you obviously have a gift
This isn’t the best place to start bashing this movie. There are thousands of other threads throughout the Internet already chock full of sexist opinions about it. I’m not mad about it being all female. The fact that it isn’t a continuation of the original movies is what bugs me most. At this point, I’m hoping for the best, because like it or not, it’s happening.
Love how anyone that think movie is going to be horrible must be a sexist and not possibly because it has 4 unfunny people in the leads and it is trying to live off being a retread of what is the comedy gold original.
Wait, what? I haven’t been scouring the internet for news, but one thing that I did read is that the reason this movie makes sense is because of a single line in the original movie where one of them commented that they could franchise the whole business.
Hopefully they don’t completely plagiarize the original like Disney Wars did.
You can’t plagiarize something you own.
Can’t argue with you. Just not the place. Let’s hope it invigorates the GB Lego franchise. Let’s speculate on future sets like a Real Ghostbusters cartoon set. Has anyone else thought about using the pumpkin head guy from Scooby-Doo as Sam Hein? Terror dog mods?
I just got a firehouse put together. If I wanted to complain I’d go elsewhere.

I believe these will sell less than those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets based off the movie.
I don’t get the hate for this movie tat no one has seen? Is it because they are women? Is it because people wanted Ghostbusters 3? It wasn’t happening, one of them is dead.
Only thing I hate about the new movie is they filmed in Boston (Yay!) but will still say the movie takes place in NYC. Two cities couldn’t be any more different.
I’ve gotta feeling that the new version of Ghostbusters will be a big hit!
