When LEGO gave me the chance to review the new ECTO-1 Set, I was excited. Perhaps the Crocodile released earlier than planned, to olug a gap left by the delayed movie release? Or perhaps it was just to reserve 10274 for a set with its roots in Manhattan? 10274 would normally be expected to have been seen by now. [ 10273 was the Haunted House – released in May 10275 Elf Club House was released in October, 10277 Crocodile Locomotive was released in July. Rumor has it that there have been a few shuffles in the overall release schedule to accomodate it. However, I suspect the delay in releasing the movie left a bit of a gap in the LEGO release schedule. Seeing Venkmen, Egon, and the team defeat the forces of Zuul and Gozer (in the form of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man) gave me a feeling of elation: seeing the misfits triumph over the system, and saving the day.įrom what I have seen in the trailer to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I suspect there might be the same level of joy in that film to be had for the next generation. The original Ghostbusters movie was also released. Teenage confusion, a love of science and hormones all worked together to give me the feeling of being a bit of an outsider. When the release of the sequel has been delayed as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, I have only nostalgia to go on… Join me as I take a close look at the new 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1. When a sequel comes along 36 years after the original, you normally have a level of expectation. Every so often, there comes a set that has the chance to appeal to both older and younger demographics.
