There are 15 ‘regular’ stickers, and another 33 stickers that represent rust The packaging for the instructions and sticker sheet for ECTO 1: the first step as LEGO moves to eliminate single use plastics from packaging.

The first example of this that I have seen is the cardboard envelope used to hold the instruction manual and sticker set. I recently wrote about the plans to trial paper packaging, replacing the single use plastics in the boxes. I’m not sure what to call it.Īnd finally, there is the instruction book, and sticker sheet. So, what do we see when we open the box? There are bags numbers 1-12, a soft bag containing large transparent elements and another soft plastic bag containing tyres, flextube and some sort of whippy thing. 8, which was used as the exterior for the Ghostbusters’ headquarters, back in the original film. Fun fact: US Zip Code 10274 is at the southern tip of Manhattan, just a mile or so from the Hook and Ladder No. The Set has 2352 pieces, and is set number 10274. The way from Zip Code 10274 to the Ghostbusters HQ

Underneath, we have a strip of yellow and black hazard tape, with the Registration plate bearing the wording: ECTO-1 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. Every so often, there comes a set that has the chance to appeal to both older and younger demographics.
