LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & Ecto-2 (75828) Official Images Revealed

February 5, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Just a short while ago, LEGO revealed the official images of the new LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (75828) set from the upcoming movie based on the all-female cast. As you can see, the set features all of the main characters including Melissa McCarthy as Abby Yates, Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert, Kate McKinnon as Jillian Holtzmann, and Leslie Jones as Patty Tolan. The Ecto-1 is based on a new vehicle and is able to fit all four Ghostbusters minifigures. It also seems that all of their proton packs will be able to fit in the back as well.

Also revealed along with the Ecto-1 is the Ecto-2 motorcycle which is ridden by Chris Hemsworth’s character Kevin. One of the images also might contain a spoiler as Kevin seems to be possessed. The last minifigure in the set is a red Daemon which could be something that’s part of the plot.

Reports have that the set is priced at $59.99 and will be available on July 1st.

One LEGO Ghostbusters 2016 Movie Set Based on New Ecto-1

January 8, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

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

Will the LEGO Ecto-1 Have the Curiosity Mars Rover Effect?

LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104)

If you’ve been looking to get your hands on the LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover from Shop@Home, you are most likely out of luck. The set has been completely sold out for a few months now and will not be sold again. There were times when the set would be up for purchase again but they would be quickly sold out in a few hours. It looks like the secondary market will be your best chance to get it such as eBay, Amazon, or BrickLink.

This brings me to the latest LEGO Ideas product that will be hitting the shelves in a few days, the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). Seeing that Ghostbusters is a more well known entity than the Mars Curiosity Rover, it will probably sell out and go temporarily out of stock when it becomes available on June 1st. LEGO Brand Stores will also be selling them on that day, at least mine will, so you may be able to snag one there as well. Normal LEGO sets usually have about a two year shelf life but some sets are very exclusive with a limited production run such as the Rover and 4×4 Crawler Exclusive Edition (41999). To fans of both LEGO and Ghostbusters, many people will probably purchase multiple sets, one to build and one to save. Others such as investors and resellers will most likely get multiples as well for their means. Does the … Continue
