I recently interviewed Brent Waller where he shared some insight into the creation of one of cinema’s most iconic vehicles which also included some interesting photos of early prototypes.Ģ1108 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 went on sale online on 1 June 2014 on for AU$69.99 ($49.99 in the US) and should be available in Australian retail store (s?) later this year. The brainchild of designer and massive Ghostbusters fan, Brent Waller (pictured below in his Ghostbusting getup), Ecto-1’s release was accelerated to coincide with the Ghostbusters 30th anniversary. Last week’s package, was a little more special than usual containing one of my most anticipated sets this year – LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1.Įcto-1 is the 6th LEGO Ideas set, joining an illustrious group of fan-voted and LEGO-approved creations such as Minecraft, Back to the Future Delorean and NASA’s Curiosity Rover. The anticipation that builds from days (sometimes weeks) of waiting for my LEGO to arrive usually means that my excitement levels are off the charts.
One of my favourite things in life is seeing a parcel on my doorstep when I get home from work.
