LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 Review (2020 | 10274)

[@LEGIONBRICKS]

I think the clean look without the rust looks cleaner and sleeker. More reminiscent of the older films.

[@JAM609]

The clean look is clean the floor is of floor

[@LEGIONBRICKS]

@@JAM609 lol Sometimes I repeat my self...

[@peloponnesians]

I bought mine yesterday and when I build i will not be adding stickers

[@BlaineADedam]

@@joevictor53 I just got mine the other day and while I was building it, I didn't put the stickers on, and I made sure to keep the ladder on the right side, but would require a bit of modification.

[@imranbecks]

@@joevictor53 That and also the suicide door and hinges need to be changed to reflect the original Ecto-1 more.

[@arghjayem]

FYI the design of the cover of the instruction manual is inspired by Haynes car manuals, a well known basic car manual producer here in the UK/Europe.

[@JamesLawner]

That is a shame that they didn't include a placard and minifigs like how the Batmobile and Batwing had.

[@Ro_884_]

Amazing video, and this ghostbusters set is fire, can’t wait to get more ghostbusters sets in the near future!!!!!!!

[@tannjam]

I was in the camp of "don't need this set right away - will get it eventually".... then I watched you build it. I'm hoping they still have some for 2x points weekend.

[@TheBrickSonic]

That was my strategy but seeing him build it I said to myself stop watching the stream replay and go to the lego store and get it and I saw it in the same day when the stream w

[@Lets_Go_Brandon2024]

Built this as soon as it was released. Had the common issue of scratched up windows, but Lego sent me another COMPLETE set of windows, free of charge ( I MAY have gotten a 3rd set from them also, to use many years down the road if need be), and just last week I got my LED light and sound kit for it (from Kyglaring) and cannot begin to explain how much more awesome this set is now! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@TobiAnimados]

It would be so cool if these kind of sets came with big figures like the old technic figures. I still miss those figures, they were awesome, with a lot of articulation points, it's a shame that they never considered those figures to make characters of movie franchises, like Star Wars or something like that.

[@FDNProductions]

I definitely agree, this model looks a lot better without the rust stickers. I might order the pieces that the rust go onto so i can swap out the look depending on if i like ghostbusters afterlife. Also it shouldve came with either minifigures from the new movie or marshmallow covered variants of the main 4 from the first movie

[@JAM609]

Almost glad the rust is stickers, making it optional. If the designers super rust detail in the model they could have done it with bricks

[@TMOG217]

you could try ordering extra parts which are supposed to have the rust stickers that way you can swap out the parts to make it look clean or rusty. Great review ! Keep up the awesome work!

[@giannicampochiaro2106]

In my opinion this is one of the best lego sets by far

[@nathanbricks6922]

This set is just great! Glad that LEGO produced this set!

[@thenitroknight57]

This things details are just too good, what a build and what a look.

[@xandermccomb13]

I like the no rolling joke 😂😂

[@alexnelson9830]

the trash can elements are actually grey barrel pieces. the trash can pieces have handles on the side

[@waskus]

My wife got me this for Christmas. Cant wait to put it together. I feel like a kid again 😂

[@cruisendude5377]

Bricksie I thought you hated reviews! Great video!

[@aaronwilkinson9836]

Wife has this hidden away for me for Christmas. Absolutely can’t wait, looks awesome. Greta review mate, well done and cheers! 👍

[@RICJapan]

Just gorgeous now i want one!! Fab video- Thanks

[@reupsvideos]

As soon as I found your channel I have become really upsessed with lego

[@MrVisde]

I’ve been thinking about getting this for awhile. Didn’t realize how big it was until seeing it on display at the LEGO store. Immediately pulled the trigger. Love the detail.

[@midobo]

What a nice and detailed set. :)

[@jacobkrug]

just got mine can't wait to built it!!!

[@Eljeirobloxgames]

✌️

[@polyblox3884]

I really do hope in the future Lego does come out with more pop culture cars, like the Delorean

[@toddjoosse6234]

I put the rust stickers on yes possibly not the popular choice however I think it suits the build and the overall feel of what they were trying to achieve

[@gregggoldstein3449]

You know I think that the reason Lego designers dod not add mini figures and other documentation was to keep the price point lower and the amount of detail not found on any other iconic car. A lot of time must have been put into figuring out how to build the internal inner workings without sacrificing the structural integrity not to fall appart. A stunning model. Some time ago, I assembled the Back to the future car and added working head lamps and a place for a button cell battery chamber to switch on the lamps. But had a great deal of intricacies and structural reinforcement. But by far the Ecto 1 has even more well thought out features in line with the concord and Titanic. And recent Pirate Ship concept.

[@tjhermanek]

For a guy who does t like doing review videos you did great, this set is a must have for any fan new or old

[@janekjanke]

For me the dust sticker are also option .

[@troodon1096]

I actually moved the ladder to the other side because I wanted it to more represent the 1984 appearance; this wasn't as easy as I thought as I did have to move a few pieces around, but I like the way it looks that way better. I also replaced the technic gear tracks on the hood with flat tiles (I assume the gear tracks are meant to represent dents). All in all, a quite impressive set, I think they outdid the 1989 Batmobile tbh. I agree though it was begging for minifigs and a specification plaque. Other than that though quite happy with this set.

[@billymanilli]

I thought the "gear tiles" were supposed to be body damage too... I carefully rewatched clips from the first movie, and to my surprise, the original has two vents/louvers on the hood in those exact spots. They kind of look like grates that would normally be used on the floors and/or wall ducts of a house's HVAC system. They actually did a GREAT job of representing those! I totally never noticed them on the real car until researching (and I was an 80's kid who watched the movies hundreds of times! lol).

[@stevenrichardson1838]

I originally put the stickers on but took them off and put the ladder on the other side to replicate the first movie Ecto.

[@imranbecks]

I did some calculations with the actual car dimensions vs the dimensions of this Lego Ecto-1. I believe this Ecto-1 one is around 1/12 or 1/13 scale. Its definitely closer to being 1/13 I believe. Figures that are around 5" to 6" would look just right with it. So the Mattel or Hasbro's Plasma Ghostbusters figures would go nicely with it.

[@phucer]

Mike 'The Mechanic' Psiaki.....just awesome!

[@bismofunyuns726]

I just got it, I’m obsessed with the gunner seat 😂

[@SharkBait600]

The set looks awesome!

[@jstuds9520]

This set is really detailed :)

[@spillredet]

One of the bucket seats also moves when you drop the hatch for the rc ghost trap.

[@Lets_Go_Brandon2024]

No, the floor just drops down, like a ramp

[@snazziguy3335]

Great detailed review - you should do more of these type of videos to help us determine whether the set being shown should be on our buy list. A suggested improvement would be to show highlights of the build and some of the techniques used. Overall great video review

[@danp1975]

Nice review! Mike Psiaki did an amazing job. He also designed the mustang, beetle, downtown diner and the db5... among others!

[@brickconnoisseur7604]

Excellent fully detailed review love the set will definitely be a future purchase for me 👍🌟👍and no rust stickers.

[@davidbrown4675]

I think the best part to the car is probably when the wheels move, the top parts move! now that is well made!

[@revbigsby]

My OCD....When I see the original Ideas set and people don't have the blue hose installed correctly. I agree on the rust stickers. I will be leaving them off too. Would be nice to move the ladder to the original side of the car to model it after the original

[@calebzook4743]

Hi Bricksie, while watching this video, I noticed the clock 2x2 piece in the back of the model is different than the one I received. It's still a clock but mine is printed differently. Than at 10:24, the printed element on the dash above the one that looks like a VHS tape, I received a completely different piece. Just wanted to share.

[@KeenanChandler15]

Nice! But why did that one person dislike it? I liked it.

[@brickupgrades]

Now 7+ Dislikes......TROLLS

[@legobrixz]

7 dislikes idiot's

[@tynormous]

Those printed pieces are pretty nice. Great they are starting to slowly get rid of stickers. Also bricksie what are your thoughts on the new lego paper bags that will be starting in 2021.

[@jimbear62]

They are hard to find outside of Ebay, they are sold out on the Lego website

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

I wonder if you can reverse the gunners door so its on the left side so you can put the ladder back on the correct side?

[@josetoro4405]

i think the stickers are cool and look great on the car. without then the car looks a bit of clinical clean.

[@timn398]

Looks great!

[@suzanneeddy2698]

My son saw this and said na leave the rust off. He's looking at this thinking would be cool with light bricks and sounds x He hasn't got this but its on his must have list for lego fans x

[@imranbecks]

I'm getting this soon, just not sure if I should paste the rust stickers. Lego should've printed the rust onto the bricks instead of using stickers. Too many stickers makes it look cheap imo. Your video has made me decide to leave the stickers out as well. Looks better without it.

[@GrumpyJ83]

Holy cow, it goes forward and back... so the gears work im guessing lol. Great video.. looks so good

[@epixwheelz5515]

I dont think those are garbage cans pretty sure there just Grey wooden barrel

[@will-ol5kd]

before watching this video i wasn't interested in this set, but now i wanna get it.

[@GrumpyJ83]

Definitely agree with the whole no on the stickers.. it looks like the original one

[@aldinoguy1698]

Do you know how to switch the ladder to the other side to make it look like the original I just switched the ladder to the other side on my it looks way more like the original Ecto 1

[@jimbear62]

Mine just came today... I can't wait to start building it...

[@trolltrooper1975]

Every body is all concerned that a placard was not included, but this was not a UCS set. If I'm not mistaken its considered a Creator Expert set, in which case NONE on those sets have either a placard or mini figures. Also on the mini figures there may be restriction coming from the movie production people on the concern that figures may lead to spoilers seeing as we've had only a trailer and the movie also being pushed back to 2021. Maybe cut Lego a little slack on that one since there's a lot involved when it comes to these big licensed sets.

[@penfold7800]

I wish they did a beat up version in the same scale as the other two, with new minifigs with it from the new movie. ..a black pre-ghostbusters herse would be cool too (maybe pre-life is the next film?)!

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Great christmas gift for any lego dad gost buster fan...

[@mkchc]

Thank you Jordan for this video! Loved the review! Am now considering the Echo-1! Would love a side by side comparison for size with the Creator Expert Mustang or 007

[@apprenricebrickoflegend]

I think this model looks epic, and I'm not even a big Ghostbusters fan. I've only seen the original movie.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Front cover is designed like a Haynes Manual.

[@kenbrand2123]

Just need the back to the future DMC now.

[@penfold7800]

...yes, or the train from BTTF111

[@Remsbricks24]

I think the reason why they didn’t add the mini figures is because the movie is not out yet they didn’t want to spoil the new ghostbusters team.

[@Joshua-qc4vl]

Take the stickers and accessories off then it's just a funeral car

[@samb2334]

@@BlaineADedam yeah probably

[@Shaunn1988]

Completely agree, I won’t be using the rust stickers either and it’s such a disappointment to not have any mini figures included

[@JAM609]

I might prefer the original set just for the figures

[@ListerDavid]

Mine was ordered last night, sadly it’s a Christmas gift so won’t get it for a while. But you are correct she is a 59 M&M caddy.

[@DREBEN84]

I wish they design it so you could put the Minifigures as well as the proton packs

[@Hawker1277]

What an awesome set! P.s. we need a Delorean done in this scale

[@mpmarsh]

Great review!

[@NitrousDiecast]

This might be a set i would buy

[@tomw2045]

I gotta have it! Hopefully it appears on Amazon

[@davymac9866]

Great review, I still don't know why lego aren't printing everything these days instead of still using stickers. It was good to see the Lamborghini Sian print everything. So hopefully in the near future 🤞 we'll get just that

[@beolikespoo]

You should’ve put the Dimensions ECTO-1 for another comparison

[@untoldhistory89]

For our anniversary my GF got me the original Lego Ideas Ecto 1, now she's my wife and our anniversary is coming up, wondering if I can get her to get me the new version? XD

[@dillanmistry]

I only put the rust on because it’s original to the box, but when I make a drift one it’s gonna have no rust cuz it’s cleaner😂

[@stirrednotshaken5904]

I’m hoping for a minifig scaled ecto-1 for the new movie at some point

[@slater140778]

Just built this set , I was confused why the made the car smooth and left studs at the rear of the car. So I put white 1x2 flat plates on to cover these. Rust stickers were poor quality

[@michellee7465]

I’m in the not sure camp, mostly because of a space issue. 😑I have the smaller one and I love it. It’s a fabulous looking car, and if I had space and oodles of spare cash, I’d have one with rust and one without. 😁

[@ghostchaser1631]

I'm thinking about picking one of these up, despite the hefty price tag, for my Ghostbusters display. It's a good size, the details are awesome and...it has a gunner seat?! 😳...I love this car! Side note: I will probably leave the rust decals off too, it just looks better without them. And besides, didn't Winston just clean the old girl up after getting her back to NYC? So yeah, the current clean look it is.

[@jlaplaable]

first good video, thumbs up i love it. i also bought it will get it tomorrow, i will not use the rust looks, I think it looks strange.

[@jorisjacob]

Is there still a land rover defender set review coming? :)

[@stormbreak7003]

Does anyone have a solution to my problem with the ecto 1? My problem with it is just that the gunner seat is Jammed or gets stuck and I have to turn the chair myself. Do I just rebuild the whole thing again or is it another issue that I am unaware off

[@Lets_Go_Brandon2024]

I had that issue too, just go back and look really carefully at the build steps for the track the bar slides on and the seat mounting itself. Sorry I can't remember anything more in detail..........

[@cheekyjawa9017]

Can't wait for Christmas day.

[@nickschiffers7803]

The ladder is on the wrong side. When you look at the original movie. But in afterlife it’s correct. Did they make a mistake?

[@jwr911]

This model is the afterlife model: and in the movie the ladder is on the driver side due to the addition of the jump seat on the passenger side. This allows the door to open fully for that jump seat. This set is correct and the ladder is on the "correct" side since it is modeled after the movie. I've heard a few people say they will try to move the ladder back to the original side but that will render the jump seat inoperable as that rear door won't be able to open all the way.

[@nickschiffers7803]

@@jwr911 thanks for the information 🙏

[@bratonthego]

Hey Bricksie, do you plan on buying the Taj Mahal? If yes when ? If no then why?

In Australia it SOLD OUT in less than 2 hours!

[@Chris-jz5ib]

Should I get the ECTO-1 or the Ford Mustang

[@chefeddie6164]

They might be doing a line of ghostbusters sets with the movie coming out, so the mini figures will probably be there.

[@ericochoa4271]

haha yeah i didnt put the rust stickers on mine either.

[@idonjohnson6999]

I would like rusted version, but the rust stickers ate too cartoonish. It should be more like grayscale stickers to give the dulled look.

[@Chris-jz5ib]

Thanks for the review, Iam going to get this set now, just one more question. Should I get the Ford Mustang or the techinc Porsche 911 rsr thanks!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Maybe they couldn’t do the planned mini figures as the film is delayed and mini figures would potentially be a spoiler?

[@nigelperkins1317]

Is it easy to build

[@drewdurbin4968]

decent size and piece count.. great print pieces for pros. To many Stickers and no mini figs are big cons for me though
