LEGO 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1 revealed

Ghostbusters is returning to the LEGO brick, with 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1 officially announced. Who ya gonna call?

It was way back in October of 2019 that Brick Fanatics first heard word of a new LEGO set to tie in with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which was due to be released in 2020 but has been postponed until June 2021 as a result of the pandemic’s impact on the film industry.

The detailed 2,352 piece set has now been unveiled by the LEGO Group, with 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1 building a detailed 47cm long replica of the iconic vehicle. It will launch on November 15 and will retail at £179.99 / $199.99 / €199.99.

Here is more from the official announcement:

This buildable version of the classic car is sure to delight Ghostbusters and LEGO brick fans alike, crammed full of authentic details from the iconic converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance which is sure to bring a retro feel to any LEGO brick car collection. This highly detailed set includes a range of tools and features needed by any Ghostbuster to track and catch ghoulish enemies.

The LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 is perfect for film fans that want to build their very own piece of the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. With a moving ghost sniffer activated by the wheels, an extendable rear gunner seat, working steering wheel and a whole host of other paranormal detection equipment on the detailed roof rack, the set ensures you’re ready for any ghost finding mission. The car also would not be complete without printed versions of the Ghostbusters logo adorning the car doors making this the ultimate gift for Ghostbusters fans and movie car enthusiasts.

The new LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 is the most detailed LEGO brick recreation of the car ever produced and is the latest in a collection of film-based LEGO model building kits for adults who love building to relax and escape from the stresses of life. This set features two brand new LEGO brick elements including a new 6x14x curved windscreen and a new 5 module steering wheel.

“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,” says LEGO Design Master Michael Psiaki. “This is the largest and most detailed version of this car that we have ever created, It is crammed full of authentic features and easter eggs, that I’m excited for builders to discover as they put this model together.”
