Who you gonna call? Well the nearest LEGO Store on launch day 20 times an hour to ask if they have one cause this one is about to drive off the shelves. Mass hysteria! Dogs and cats living together!
When Mike Psiaki is involved, you know it’s gonna be a great set. Both my favorite sets (Saturn V, Blue Power Jet) he either designed or was one of the designers. He always comes up with cool functions or techniques, and the end product is guaranteed to be sleek.
I wish Lego would include parts to swap out and make a GB2 version of the Ecto as well. This seems to be the ULTIMATE version and i feel adding those, would be a nice touch
There isn’t much to change to make it 1984.. ignore the rust stickers, move the ladder, and put the gunner seat door on backwards if possible. The real mod challenge is making it into the Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters 2.
I have to agree with you there Andy, the Ecto-1A is packed with way more stuff compared to the original one. Props to the potential builder who would take on that task!
@@Eaglescout217 yup, but it wasn’t there in 1984. Lore wise we still don’t know if the Ecto 1 and 1A are separate cars... I’m hoping GB3 will explain but I’m guessing its just a lazy retcon
Same! I reserve the right to add them after I watch the movie if I fall in love with the "now" version this is based on. LOL I've already talked it over with myself.
I have this set. Took me about 10hours too build. Positive: - The building techniques in this set are amazing! - the moving parts work very well - cool hinges for the doors - grill of the car is extremely detailed Negative: -Missed oportunity of adding something too keep the hood of the car open. - The only stickers that should have been added are the rust stickers... for the rest there shouldnt have been any stickers... A custom display with the figures would have been the icing on the cake. But all and all very happy with my purchase!! Hoping for a Delorean next 🤞
The instructions have the old Chilton Manual look.... which makes sense, considering the age of the Ecto-1... perhaps, in the movie, they use a Chilton Manual to repair the car. Adding another level to the attention of detail Lego put into this build.....
Gorgeous, I'll definitely leave off the rust and mod it into the original design. I really hope they make a Delorean like this next! Or Korben Dallas Taxi
@@ritualentertainment yeah I've seen a few, but I'd love an official set with a leeloo and Korben minifigure, that's the missing thing from MOC's usually
3:28 That exact bag of marshmallows was also seen in the scene in Dana Barrett's kitchen counter when her eggs started breaking on the counter and cooking on its own. You can see the bag of marshmallows right beside it.
Haha having Kirk “the 80s guy “ do this video is perfect! 👌 ( I’m also a 80s/ ghostbusters fan so I also think it looks cool and glad to see more details;)
The front cover of the manual is heavily reminiscent of a Haynes Manual, which is a famous series of car maintenance books here in the UK, pre internet days they were the best way for an amateur mechanic to maintain their car.
I made my own echo 1 out of differ t color bricks and the pointy clear read pieces as the tail lights back in the 80s with whatever spare legos pieces I had. This is nice I’ll place it next to the 89 batmobile. 😜
The original movie has the Stay-Puft marshmallows a couple times. The nineteen min thirteen secs into the movie, Dana pulls a bag of them out of her shopping bag. Then sixteen secs later there is a zoom closeup of them when the eggs are popping.
Wow. What is interesting is that the gunner chair is from the animated cartoon and the new movie incorporates that. I'd leave off the rust and build her clean
@@allthehardtimes Yes I know. But if you watched "The Real Ghostbusters" animated show, they had the gunner seat. So, as I said, they (in the movie) are incorporating this as an homage to the TV show, and thus, the model has it too. Why don't people listen?
Looks great, albeit expensive. Glad I passed on the Batwing because this is much more satisfying, they really got the curves and roof array details down. Looks like it is adapted for the Afterlife film but still the OG Ectomobile and not the one they used for the female-led film.
I bought it, finished building it and i left out the rust stickers. Looks so good! Better looking without the rust stickers imo. Less cheaper looking. The working features makes it so satisfying too! So big that it dwarfs my 1/18 Ecto-1!
I’m so sad we didn’t get a single mini figure with this. The Batwing was the same price and that had three minifigs. And I’m pretty sure two of them are exclusive.
Well K.I.T.T. got denied in the last IDEAS review stage sadly 🙁. Although the A-Team van or General Lee would be cool to have in LEGO form, I doubt those will happen either.
I still have to get myself the ucs millennium falcon and some other sets before they retire, but this is from a franchise I grew up to love almost as much as Star Wars and there’s no way I can pass it up.
Thanks for the review, Kirk! It's a must buy for me. P.S. You need a spot light or soft box to add more light to the presentation. Or was the darkness intentional?
Built bags 1 and 2 today and ask Siri to play the theme music to Ghostbusters.. man there's a ton of stuff we only heard clips of and really nostaglic. Bag 2 got me to popping in the functional gunner seat and I'm really excited to see how it turns out. Personally I added the rust stickers because it's really Ecto 1.1 and really needs to be all it could be :)
Ha just finished this great set this evening after getting it delivered this morning, it really is a fantastic model to build with some very clever building techniques and mechanisms, however I had to change two minor details not because they were wrong but because they annoyed the hell out of me. No 1- both wing mirrors had to be symmetrical! No 2- changed the two 2x1 clips at base of ladder to one 2x1 clip and added a 1x1 black brick to either side to fill the gap. Sorted! Great vid by the way.
Yeah I’ve seen that show too, it’s so cool! I actually remember seeing a toy at some point with a gunner seat, but it was on the car roof instead of popping out on the side.
just got this set in the beginning of January, the site was sold out for like 2 months. I have'nt had time to sit and build the whole thing so i am doing it one bag at a time as I get the opportunity. I am on bag 4 next and this thing already weighs a ton!
the Haynes manuals it is based on a very recongisable sight here in the UK. doesn't look as good from the front as it does the sides. the front blue spotlights look way too close together, overall indicating how thin the car is compared to its length
I hope Lego is gonna make a Delorean in that Size!
Omg ! That would be awesome 😫🙏🏻
Yeah, would be great
They already did a couple years back.
@@Azureith What was the model number? I can't find one that is this big/detailed.
@@Azureith it was small
Now we need a giant delorian
and a giant 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Why you might ask, well... if you have seen Dukes Of Hazzard then you know damn well why.
I love how you say you’re a fan of the 80’s, I lived in the 80’s, it really was an awesome time to be alive even as a kid.

I watch ur vids
and an original version without rust & stuff... edit: nvm, just realized they are stickers.

Challenge Excepted
Funny enough the gunner seat lore wise is an original team addition.
@@Eaglescout217 yup, but it wasn’t there in 1984. Lore wise we still don’t know if the Ecto 1 and 1A are separate cars... I’m hoping GB3 will explain but I’m guessing its just a lazy retcon
You cant mod to Ecto-1 a due to the the four roof spot lights in wrong position, no room for roof rack extension
Me: Finally, I finished the Aston Martin! I’ll take a break from Le-
Lego: *Announces this*
Me: Hold that thought
Day one purchase. I'll be leaving off the rust stickers though
Same! I reserve the right to add them after I watch the movie if I fall in love with the "now" version this is based on. LOL I've already talked it over with myself.
I love. It😍
Same.
left them off myself.. dont think ill be adding them later.
Ok,
We got the Aston Martin db5
We got Ecto 01
Now we must have KITT
What about delorean?
I have this set. Took me about 10hours too build.
Positive:
- The building techniques in this set are amazing!
- the moving parts work very well
- cool hinges for the doors
- grill of the car is extremely detailed
Negative:
-Missed oportunity of adding something too keep the hood of the car open.
- The only stickers that should have been added are the rust stickers... for the rest there shouldnt have been any stickers...
A custom display with the figures would have been the icing on the cake. But all and all very happy with my purchase!! Hoping for a Delorean next 🤞
Hopefully someone does a light and sound kit for this with the authentic Ecto-1 siren noise
@Yellow Impostor
GET IT DONE, AND SHARE US ALL A LINK!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
On amazon
Now we need one like this but with the DeLorean
The instructions have the old Chilton Manual look.... which makes sense, considering the age of the Ecto-1... perhaps, in the movie, they use a Chilton Manual to repair the car. Adding another level to the attention of detail Lego put into this build.....
Gorgeous, I'll definitely leave off the rust and mod it into the original design.
I really hope they make a Delorean like this next! Or Korben Dallas Taxi
A Blade runner Spinner police car.
Korben Dallas Taxi FTW! There’s an amazing MOC of it that’s been drifting around for a few years.
@@ritualentertainment yeah I've seen a few, but I'd love an official set with a leeloo and Korben minifigure, that's the missing thing from MOC's usually
Yeah, I'll be leaving all the rust stickers off when I get mine. That being said, high value 18+ sets shouldn't come with stickers.
There are stickers to represent rust. This is meant to represent the aged ecto 1 from Ghostbusters Afterlife.
@@nerfnewb7155 I have not added the "rust" to it - yet, but did add all the other stickers.
totally agree the Porsche should have been printed especially considering the cost. I want special pieces for my money.
i agree because once i built it there gonna be no rust stickers and the ladder on the correct side and a few more mods
Honestly I would’ve been mad if Kirk wasn’t the one reviewing this. He’s our resident “80s Vibin Guru”
Hello
Dang CC getting hearts from btb
3:28 That exact bag of marshmallows was also seen in the scene in Dana Barrett's kitchen counter when her eggs started breaking on the counter and cooking on its own. You can see the bag of marshmallows right beside it.
The Mini-fig version of Mr. Stay-Puft was a nice touch.
WOOHOOO! That is so rad!
I got one yesterday and finished it today it’s so cool and has some nice features 2
Haha having Kirk “the 80s guy “ do this video is perfect! 👌
( I’m also a 80s/ ghostbusters fan so I also think it looks cool and glad to see more details;)
Hey
The front cover of the manual is heavily reminiscent of a Haynes Manual, which is a famous series of car maintenance books here in the UK, pre internet days they were the best way for an amateur mechanic to maintain their car.
I wish I had the set it’s even better than the small Lego set
LEGO, DeLorean from Back to the Future next time, please!
It'll honestly be really good putting the original Ghostbusters minifigures in just because
Instruction manual cover looks like a “Chilton’s” auto repair manual!
Haynes manual
@@jeffreyhall146 yeppers
you actually made me like the rust stickers a bit more
Hopefully the availability is better than the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Love ghostbusters 💣
Its easy to get now.
in uk you could easily get it
I made my own echo 1 out of differ t color bricks and the pointy clear read pieces as the tail lights back in the 80s with whatever spare legos pieces I had. This is nice I’ll place it next to the 89 batmobile. 😜
On a whim I decided to go lego shopping
I WAS BLESSED BY SEEING THIS
Finally a new Lego set that's not Star Wars or Harry Potter
Super review Kirk!! Very happy they gave this one to you. Great coverage of the entire set, I’ll definitely be getting this one!
Thanks JB!
I was watching ghostbusters while watching this and when you were talking about Rey and his childhood with stay puff marshmallows that scene was on🤣
The original Ecto 1 was built by Miller Meteor Company in my home town ! Piqua, Ohio !
The original movie has the Stay-Puft marshmallows a couple times. The nineteen min thirteen secs into the movie, Dana pulls a bag of them out of her shopping bag. Then sixteen secs later there is a zoom closeup of them when the eggs are popping.
I’m so Hyped to get this set! It’s so awesome! Definitely a must have for my LEGO Collection
That's awesome I can't wait to get this set, great job Kirk love the review
Thank you Starwarsboy!
@@tgebuilds my pleasure man
Wow. What is interesting is that the gunner chair is from the animated cartoon and the new movie incorporates that.

Supposedly its from the upcoming movie you know all the stuff that we wanted to do as a kid looks like they are putting into the movie
@@allthehardtimes Yes I know. But if you watched "The Real Ghostbusters" animated show, they had the gunner seat. So, as I said, they (in the movie) are incorporating this as an homage to the TV show, and thus, the model has it too.
Why don't people listen?
I had no idea this was even being produced as a set, thanks for the great review! Gonna buy this for sure. Being 48 I loved the original film 👍
Wow, what a kit. Let’s hope Santa has seen this excellent review 👍👍👍
i got this for Christmas and man i didn't know what i was in for
I added my own custom Super Slammer from the Ghostbusters videogame. Love the car. Beyond fantastic !!!!!
They are making a Lego delorean from back to the future to and I’m really excited
Looks great, albeit expensive. Glad I passed on the Batwing because this is much more satisfying, they really got the curves and roof array details down. Looks like it is adapted for the Afterlife film but still the OG Ectomobile and not the one they used for the female-led film.
this was released in 2020, and ghostbusters the frozen empire has just released 😂
Looks like an awesome set! That “Mike The Mechanic” headline was a great reference too. Nice one, Lego!
The design of the front cover of the instructions is a nod to the old Haynes Car manuals btw
This turned out SO well! WOW!
I bought it, finished building it and i left out the rust stickers. Looks so good! Better looking without the rust stickers imo. Less cheaper looking. The working features makes it so satisfying too! So big that it dwarfs my 1/18 Ecto-1!
does it scale with the plasma series hasbro figures?
I’m so sad we didn’t get a single mini figure with this. The Batwing was the same price and that had three minifigs. And I’m pretty sure two of them are exclusive.
That front windshield design is downright amazing and will probably fetch a nice price on Bricklink! I enjoyed the review showing all its functions.
The rust stickers remind me of the slime stickers that you could add onto the Kenner Ghostbusters Ecto-1.
My son and I are starting this trophy piece today. Thanks for making this video!
I wonder if Lego would consider bringing out the Delorean from back to the future as a set that would be awesome.
I just ordered this from ebay and can't wait to build it. Ecto 1 is my all time favourite movie vehicle.
My wallet is hiding in the corner right now...
I think mine just ran out the front door...
My wallet just combusted in front of me as I was watching this.
Lool
Nice review
Pretty cool, but I wish you had opened the back door and shown what’s inside the rear of the vehicle.
Great review! I know my extra cash over Xmas is now gone 😅🤣
Next the General Lee, A-Team van and KITT.
Well K.I.T.T. got denied in the last IDEAS review stage sadly 🙁. Although the A-Team van or General Lee would be cool to have in LEGO form, I doubt those will happen either.
I think Kirk just slimed his pants. Once he saw the 80’s build UCS style he let out a little ecto plasm.
Hahaha
Please show us a shot of it next to the 89 bat mobile
I still have to get myself the ucs millennium falcon and some other sets before they retire, but this is from a franchise I grew up to love almost as much as Star Wars and there’s no way I can pass it up.
HOG steering. Love it.
This guy did an immaculate review.
Fantastic unique Lego ghostbusters
Great review Kirk! A very easy listen, keep it up bruv! Ooo and if any family members reading this comment, yeah, ima need this for my birthday!
I just got it for Xmas. Super excited to put it together. Mind you I am 41 years old.
I just got given this for Christmas too and coincidentally am also 41 years old.
@@shelbyvillerules9962 sounds like we have a lot in common
Chitty chitty bang bang needs to be released
The real original Ecto 1 Cadillac was built in my home town
Thanks for the review, Kirk! It's a must buy for me.
P.S. You need a spot light or soft box to add more light to the presentation. Or was the darkness intentional?
It was intentional, but I think it need a bit more adjustment. I actually own two soft box lights already. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it 👍!
The instructions look like a Haynes manual
So I’m not the only guy that noticed!
My immediate thought too!
When lego doesn’t make an updated BTTF deloreon but they make this
Looks awesome, I will be leaving the rust stickers off though
Lego should do the jurassic park Ford Explorer
Built bags 1 and 2 today and ask Siri to play the theme music to Ghostbusters.. man there's a ton of stuff we only heard clips of and really nostaglic. Bag 2 got me to popping in the functional gunner seat and I'm really excited to see how it turns out. Personally I added the rust stickers because it's really Ecto 1.1 and really needs to be all it could be :)
When can we buy it @lego?
I hope a large version of back to the future's Delorian is also on their schedule ;)

Now that this came out my minifigure scale one will not be alone
THIS IS MY FAV MOVIE!!!!!!!!
the gunner seat looks like somthing out of the real ghostbusters, which is one of my fav shows
Yeah I’ve seen that show too, it’s so cool! I actually remember seeing a toy at some point with a gunner seat, but it was on the car roof instead of popping out on the side.
I love it. I buy it. No more words needed 😎
Just got mine today ...
I can't wait to start building it
You got it!? Wow!
Excellent review! Love your excitement for ECTO-1.
Just finished building this myself ( 20 mins ago ).. love it! display case and lighting kit next!
just got this set in the beginning of January, the site was sold out for like 2 months. I have'nt had time to sit and build the whole thing so i am doing it one bag at a time as I get the opportunity. I am on bag 4 next and this thing already weighs a ton!
I just ordered mine tonight. Can't wait until it arrives. :D
Wow that ghostbuster car is so huge and big wow I love iy I wish if I have it
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters
Can’t wait for this set
what interests me the most about this car is that its apparently 20 feet long
They are sold out on the Lego website ...I got one from Ebay (hasn't arrived yet).
Christmas Miracle...got an unopened one for $165
I am definitely getting this set, it's unique. 🚫👻
Cool. Needs a miniland style crew to go with it along with a huge Marshmallow Man.
Cover of the instructions looks like a Haynes Manual.
Very great review. Now that I have seen the cool features, I want this Ecto even more.
This is indeed a great set. Also enjoyed retrofitting mindstorm motors to it. Next challenge: programming the iconic siren sound
Someone is making a great lighting kit for this bad boy
the Haynes manuals it is based on a very recongisable sight here in the UK. doesn't look as good from the front as it does the sides. the front blue spotlights look way too close together, overall indicating how thin the car is compared to its length
I am so hype because I'm getting it for cristmas
The cover of the instructions seem to be inspired by classic Lego Technic sets!
