If you’re looking for a deal for the LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 (10274), Zavvi has it on sale for about 15% off. During checkout, enter the code GBECTO1 and the price will drop to $168.99 and you’ll also get free shipping as well. The set hasn’t really gotten many discounts since its release so any deal on it is a good one. If you’re wondering if Zavvi is legit or not, I’ve bought from them before and have gotten the items but shipping is a little slow.
