This means it's more up to you if you'd like for the vehicle to be a clean white, vs the more worn down look the vehicle will have in Afterlife. Here's the dreaded sticker sheet you have a few essential stickers here like the Ecto-1 plates and Cadillac logos, but I'm glad that the rust was left as stickers. We know that LEGO is executing a new packaging strategy moving forth, with things like paper bags instead of plastic, and even a mockup of a cardboard CMF package design rumored, so it's no surprise to see yet another such change here the instructions and stickers are now contained within this cardboard packet, certainly an interesting and effective strategy. Lately, LEGO has been packaging instructions and sticker sheets together in a plastic bag with a piece of cardboard to help reduce damaged sheets. But, in this case, it's actually underselling the set's functions quite a bit- there's really no mention here of the sets opening doors, engine detail, spinning ghost scanners/radars, the fact that the little ghost trap drone actually deploys, or even the steering! Naturally, this surprised me when building the set, since I had seen no mention prior about these functions. Normally, I don't have much to say about the back of the box it shows the set functions. I believe that internally this is still a 'Creator Expert' set in spirit, rather than being more UCS-focused like the 89 Batmobile, but we will have a look at some comparisons later. I got to experience it all as a first impression, and it was truly a fun set to build and discover the hidden features read on, because this will be a packed review!Īs you would expect from a large LEGO set in 2020, the Ecto-1 is featured on the new, adult-branded box, with a primarily black backdrop and a red border. I want to give a huge thank you to LEGO for sending us this set to review thanks to the aforementioned circumstances of receiving this set, it's the first time in along time where I got a set where I had spent no time at all looking over the details. Interestingly, it seems that Lego has upped the ante from releasing one of these vehicles per year to two, being that we saw both the Ford Mustang as well as the Harley Davidson released in 2019, and now we have the Ecto-1 releasing in the same year as the Fiat 500.

This Set falls more in line with the Creator Expert line of vehicles, such as the recently released Fiat, Aston Martin, Mustang, etc. This is not the first time LEGO has produced an Ecto-1 set we previously saw the likes of 21108: Ghostbusters Ecto-8: Ecto-1 & 2 which were minifigure scaled in nature. Who ya gonna call? In this case, it might be your nearest LEGO store to see when they will have this fantastic new set in stock the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1! Indeed, Lego has taken another shot at giving us a large scale vehicle inspired by a famous film franchise, this time taking on the classic Ecto-1, a heavily modified 1959 Cadillac.
