It's not that I hate stickers or decals in general, but as a perfectionist I want them to be perfectly aligned on the brick they're being applied to and that's not always easy or fun to do. I was pleased to see this because one of the only aspects of building a new LEGO set that I dislike is dealing with the stickers. In case you were wondering, the 'No Ghost' logo is printed on the bricks used for the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 doors. The front side of packaging for the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set The packaging looks so nice that it would probably display well even unopened, but LEGO sets are one of the few collectibles I happily remove from their box. Personally, I love the usage of dark packaging to make the colorful bricks of the set imagery really standout.

Interestingly, the packaging for this LEGO Ghostbusters set resembles that of the recent Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series releases due to its mostly black background. While part of that can undoubtedly be attributed to the filmmakers' attention to detail and commitment to nostalgia as a marketing tool, there is something special about this set that really shines. Also included are stickers to make the classic 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor resemble the rusted appearance of barn-dwelling Ecto-1 in the upcoming 2021 film.įrom every angle, LEGO masterfully updated the beloved Ghostbusters Ecto-1 vehicle for its role in Ghostbusters: Afterlife while staying true to the details that made the car so memorable in the 1984 film. Features include opening doors and engine hood, removable ghost traps, and even a moveable gunner seat as seen in the trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
