ECTO-1 makes a LEGENDARY return to LEGO with the announcement of a 2,352pcs set recreation that you can build and display at your own home.
This 10274 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 looks lovely as the bigger scale allows it to feel very much fleshed out compared to the other iterations of Ecto-1 from LEGO released in the past decade. It uses about 5x as much bricks as the other ones!
There also looks to be a ton of stickers if you want to create a worn-out look of the converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance.
