This is the biggest set of the theme, with almost 5,000 pieces. The set comes with four printed curved slopes with the Ghostbusters logo on it, which is used in two other sets as well. Its interior is quite simple and can host third minifigures – one in the back and two (although very tightly) in the front. In fact, every minifigure has a unique torso as their initials are printed on the chest. The torsos are nicely designed with a front and back print. You can even display the minifigures together on a small display stand! Overall, it’s beautifully designed and starts the theme off greatly.Īll minifigures are exclusive to this set and feature a proton pack (with printed pieces) on their backs to capture the ghosts.

Only two are officially listed as so, whilst there are a total of 7 sets inspired by the original film, its sequels and spinoff. As stated in the introduction, not all sets have been released under the theme “LEGO Ghostbusters”. Featuring Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore, the four main characters are represented in minifigure form. Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!
