#Lego ecto 1 2020 review movie#

Me, it just gives me warm fuzzies looking at it. Tubing going around everywhere, lights, antennas, I’m sure somewhere somebody wrote up what everything does. And the roof was integral to that love because it just looked so awesome with all the gadgets and gizmos up there. As the vehicle the Ghostbusters use to ride around on, I always loved the look of it. The details on the roof of the car with the sirens and sensors was probably my favorite part of the build.

The jumpsuits, proton packs, everything is so spot on and LEGO-ized, I love it. Personally, I feel like minifigures are just as important to a set than the build itself. I really wanted to grab it but I never got the chance and it was off shelves by the time I got the urge again.

I put the set together in 2016 when the latest Ghostbusters movie came out that everyone hated but I still stand by as being a good popcorn flick but this is not the post for that argument so I’ll just leave it at that! Speaking of which, I missed out on that Ecto-1 & 2 from the newer film. At the time, the kids got a lot of LEGO sets to build and play with, but I never got too many of my own, so I wanted to savor it.Īnd I did… for a few years. I was waiting for a rainy day to sit and enjoy putting it together. I put together the minifigures, and then put the rest away (that’s why you see some pictures were taken in our old-old house and others in our newer old house, remember, all the pics are from years ago). But, I remember not wanting to rush through building it and being done, so I tried to let it age like a fine wine. It was purchased as a Father’s Day gift by my superstar wife and I was head over heels.

Queue 2014, when LEGO and their Ideas line put out the Ecto-1! It is set 21108, but unfortunately retired. I think fondly of the Turtles from time to time, but the Ghostbusters still have a strong presence in my life. I was never into traditional comic book superheroes, I only recently in my adult life got addicted to all things Marvel, so back then, these two NYC native foursomes were it for me. They were basically my superheroes and role models, and probably why I have the sense of humor that I have today. Growing up in the 80’s-90’s in a retired Jewish community nestled between, but secluded enough away from the mean streets of The Bronx, it was almost guaranteed that I have a strong love for two things: the Ghostbusters, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So way back in 2016, I wrote a love letter to Ghostbusters. See, way back in 2016, I… whoa, whoa, whoa, seriously?! That was 3 years ago?!? Time don’t care about anything, does it! Ok, sorry. It’s only fitting this is my first official LEGO set review.
