While this set does contain printed parts, the sticker sheet is also pretty big. There’s also an unnumbered bag containing the tires and other larger elements. Inside the box are 23 numbered bags, grouped across 12 building steps. The main focus, though, is still on the car itself, this time seen from a rear angle.

There are a couple of stills from the trailer, along with a few insets showing off the real-world play features of the set. On the back, you can more easily see that this is the version of the ECTO-1 from the Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. To be fair, this set lacks some “standard” UCS features like a display plaque and related exclusive minifigures, so maybe leaving that marketing off is better. While LEGO has currently only applied that term to Star Wars-themed sets, many collectors view sets like this and the recent 76139 Batmobile to be UCS-equivalents. (I’d guess an actual age requirement for this set would be closer to 10+, as there’s nothing super complex about the build.) What is missing is any sort of “Ultimate Collector Series” (UCS) messaging. Unfortunately, our review copy was banged up a bit in transit, but you can still see that the box for this set is pretty sharp looking with the “Adult Collector” styling, which means a plain black background, prominent logos, and a mandatory 18+ age rating. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick an early copy of this set for review.

What secrets does this new version of the ECTO-1 hold? Read on and see! Arguably the most beloved converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance of all time, the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 will be available directly via and LEGO Stores starting November 15th. That left a lot of fans pretty unhappy…but LEGO has found a way to keep us busy while we wait for things to return to a new normal. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was originally slated for a July 10th release, but is currently delayed to June 11, 2021. The pandemic has had a pretty grim impact on cinematic release schedules this year.
