LEGO ‘Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1 is Retiring – Grab It and Other ICONS Sets Before They’re Gone
This LEGO ECTO-1 is ready for the Ghostbusters’ pint-sized spirit infestations and minor paranormal happenings. Get it while you still can.
This version of the converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance is based on its appearance in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. With its high piece count and detailed construction, it is similar to the Technic car kits.
The only thing this model is missing is lights and the car’s iconic siren, but I bet that can be fixed pretty easily with some ingenuity. There’s space in its cargo bay for a battery pack and some places under the roof rack for a speaker.
See all of the moving parts in action in this new video with the design team (they’re all big Ghostbusters fans) behind the set. They worked with the folks that built ECTO-1 for the movie to make sure it’s as accurate as a brick-build can be.
Ghostbusters ECTO-1
Made with adult builders in mind, this super detailed set comes with movie accurate details. It has a gunner seat, a trapdoor with a ghost trap, working steering, and a ghost sniffer. It’s also really large at 18″ long, making it a great statement piece for any Ghostbusters fan.

Atari 2600
The brick NES has a ton of realistic details – it has a working slot for the game cartridge, cables that plug into the console, and buttons. The coolest part is the companion TV that has a scrolling screen controlled by a hand crank (this is battery-free) and a Mario avatar that jumps over obstacles; it has movable knobs and connection points for the NES to plug into.

It also comes with an imperial ship with soft sails and a small pirate rowboat with two pirate minifigs. An island fortress wouldn’t be complete without a cheeky monkey minifig, so this set has one.
