I loved this toy, and the Ghostbusters line in general. I remember being fascinated with the detachable railings, the overall feel and scale of the building, the fireman's pole, but most of all I enjoyed sliming people. I don't remember doing any cleaning up though, I wonder if my mother did that....I think I reused the slime a bit. I had Ecto-1 too, a great toy, and slimer was satisfying to play with as well.

I just found my Firehouse Playset in my parent's attic this past weekend. They are remodeling the house and converting the attic into a 3rd bathroom...so out go my old toys. The toys were stored in the attic by my parents. I didn't know or care where my toys went when I grew up but I do remember using the firehouse, the slime, and the Ecto-1. I have located both the firehouse and acc as well as the Ecto-1. I was going into first grade when Season 2 of the cartoon series came out. I acquired the Firehouse sometime in 1987. I remember being extra exited to come home from school to watch the cartoon more than playing with the toys though. The Mr. Sandman episodes and some of the other episodes (the one where the spirits /white apparitions of the ghostbusters, evil in all its nature) scared me big time 😆! I still remember the cartoon! Thanks for the upload. Now to restore all my old ghostbusters toys I found.

Now if Ghostbusters and Transformers had done a crossover in the comic books or in cartoon form, nice touch on how you mixed the cartoon with the animation you done with the toy's. Think I know a spot up the road that has some of the old Ghostbusters figures an what's left of a Ecto - 1 car, not sure if the dude has gotten the Firehouse or not but he does have a good number of the old school Masers of the Universe figures with Castle Greyskull an Snake Mountain in the store as well as She - Ra firgures an castle of Power. All most wish that they had done a bit more with the Lego Ghostbusters, don't get me wrong the 2 Ecto - One car builds for the 1980's an 2016 sets are pretty cool an never seen the Lego Firehouse HQ in stores around here to pick up that all so looked pretty cool.

Heh...let me tell you somethin'...Bustin' still makes me feel good!!! Bit of a late comment this time I'm afraid, but I just had to express my fond appreciation for what might very well be your best video this side of the Optimus Prime one, yes? I was a HUGE Real Ghostbusters fan growing up - the cartoon was very popular here in the UK, and I had a toy Proton Pack and everything!!! Winston Zeddemore was my favourite back then, as I recall, since it seemed that he was the one who most often got to drive the coolest fictional car of the '80s that didn't transform, i.e., Ecto-One; nowadays, though, I'm more of a Peter Venkman fan due to his delicious sarcastic wit, but I still love 'em all regardless, yes? Above all, the cartoon showed that there was a great sense of camaraderie amongst the four guys in particular; who weren't presented as near-flawless superheroes, but as regular - if somewhat quirky! - working stiffs with a VERY weird job, whose odd/terrifying demands they coped with through large dollops of humour; an aspect which also came across very well in the Real Ghostbusters Marvel UK comic spin-off, which may indeed have almost overdone the humour at times to my taste, but which was still only matched by its Transformers counterpart in terms of both its popularity and its longevity back in the day, and deservedly so in my eyes! (if you're interested, you can get some more info on said comic at www.honcho-sfx.com/blog/remembering-marvel-uks-the-real-ghostbusters-comic/, the-oink-blog.blogspot.com/2015/06/beyond-oink-2-real-ghostbusters.html, the-slipper.blogspot.com/2016/07/ghostbusters-comics-this-doesnt-usually.html, with a sample of what was usually the best bit of the comic - i.e., Spengler's Spirit Guide - also available at 4.bp.blogspot.com/-a8bZk3AmJSE/VYsPsl647NI/AAAAAAAADbY/rctZf4oqUF8/s1600/RGB-Guide.jpg - enjoy, yes?). By the way, I noticed in your reply to another comment below that you weren't really interested in the new Ectotron Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover figure, and that's fair enough, but is there any chance at all that you might do a video on either the new Diamond Select Real Ghostbusters figures and/or a retro review of the original '80s Ecto-One toy as seen in this video, please? In the meantime, should you or anyone else be interested in Ghostbusting as a future career choice, here's some handy hints from Irish Ghostbuster Des O'Gorman at kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWq3XnuCebaBlas - until then, here's a heartily spooky Nerdmaste for ya once again...!!! (Just be careful that you don't cross the streams, OK...?!).

Never really had any of the GB myself, but had a spoiled friend who had this playset (along with many of the other figurines for the set). It's size at the time was definitely big. I had a hand-me-down toyset base (I think it was from Centurions or something else, but it had a holographic guy on one of the walls). Pretty big castle but not nearly as big as the GB one. I think I also had the Batman mansion/batcave playset that was pretty cool. The garage door on that was crap too. Lmao. Great job on the video, hits me right in the feels! Edit: Also, I appreciated playsets like this, because you're right. This playset works with using other toylines fairly well as far as a hideout or whatever have you. Combining the toys/props was hella cool.

Either way, it was in my top favorite play sets along with Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain. I ended up giving 99% of my childhood toys to my ungrateful cousin in the mid-90s, including the firehouse, and I regret it horribly to this day.

Aaaw yes. I had one of these, and an Ecto 1 and 2. Even though I was a touch too old at the time perhaps. A few years ago I found the whole set in great shape in my parent's attic, sold it all on Ebay for a good price. Just a year later my own kids discovered the show and my old comics - around about halloween one year - and were asking me if they could have my old toys. Oh well. They have the comics, and a lucky 8 year old in Ireland got the play set and all my figures and vehicles. I loved your choice of clips and your editing today. The cartoon show, especially the first few seasons, we so much fun. That's something I can always enjoy alongside my kids too. We all still love that cartoon. Did you ever see the Filmation Ghost Busters, with the gorilla, from '86ish? My kids have one of the comic book annuals from Christmas of '86 for that series. Excellent in it's own right, but so different!

Filmation Ghost Busters wasn't as funny or as much fun. Those old Real Ghostbusters shows were, and still are, really good fun. Some of them are actually pretty scary, too. Do you remember the episode called "Ragnorok and Roll"? That spooked me as a kid, the plot and atmosphere were so intense. As for being too old, that feeling didn't last. At that part of the 80s the cool kids we getting skateboards and RC cars instead of action figures. I tried that. I went back to action figures and comic books and TV shows quite soon! The Real Ghostbusters toy line was one of my favourites, partly for how big and detailed everything was. And so true to the cartoon. Awesome. My kids learned to read by reading the original 80s comic books from my old collection, it's what got them into comics which in turn got them into reading full length books. I still read those comics from time to time, they're a real time capsule of mid-80s nostalgia. (Oh, I did get an RC car. But my dad crashed it into the garage wall doing a scale speed of about 200mph - so that didn't last. I was back to action figures by the end of that week I think!)

Seeing these videos makes me regret giving all my ghostbuster toys to my little cousin. I do remember being 5 or 6 & having major a panic because I got my fingers jammed in the grates. 😂😂

I loved the movies as a kid but there was something about the Ghostbusters cartoon that was pure magic. It's probably my favorite cartoon of all time. I own it in the firehouse set on DVD, plus it's on Netflix so I watch it all the time.

The writing on it is great, at least the first season which is what I've recently rewatched. The tone and dry humour is very similar to the first movie.
