LEGO Icons Ghostbusters ECTO-1 - Building Set for Adults, Men & Women, Ages 18+ - Collectible Ghostbusters Car Model for Fans - 10274

Ordered this at the first opportunity and was not disappointed. This set is fantastic! Really pleased with it. I'm the biggest fan of the Ghostbusters franchise and although I'm looking forward to the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife film I wanted the exterior of my Ecto-1 to represent as close as possible the classic car from the original 1984 blockbuster. A few alterations were needed to achieve this but with a little thought and one or two Lego pieces borrowed from other sets I did it! :) Please Lego can we have the Back To The Future DeLorean next!?

When it comes to iconic vehicles from video and film what do you think of surely the ecto 1 is up there with the greats. The ecto1 a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex was a sort of ambulance come funeral car hence the duplex name. Like other car manufactures at the time Cadillac supplied bare bone chassis for coach builders to build vehicles around. This is how Miller-Meteor came to use this as a basis for their ambulance come hearse. For obvious reasons this car achieved critical claim but sad was left to rust in car park lot at universe studios. A Petition was put together which happily saw this iconic piece of film restored to it original condition. Lego Carl Merriam Mike Psiaki and Ghost Corps have captured everything that makes the ecto iconic. From its sleek Cadillac lines rocket light tail fins ghost sniffer accurate machinery in the back the model is oozing in details. Its pays great homage to this iconic car that will please fans old and new.
