Nonetheless, we get straight to some minifigure goodies, so that's cool. The first bag provides the most drab parts selection and also the most samey, as it has you build literally four of the exact same thing (proton pack). ![]() Really quite a pleasurable experience watching the car come together. Since this is a review and not a True Build Experience ™ I'll just say now that the build of this feels much more like that of an adult/high end set than that of a kid-oriented set - tons of SNOT, sub assemblies, little bits, great color detail, etc. In this section I'll go through the four bags bag by bag, pointing out any cool parts and anything particularly interesting I noted in the build. The actual instructions themselves are straightforward as always, and set on a serviceable plain black background. I'm not complaining though since it's a cool figure with great parts. Does it look green and furry to you? Hmm. I'll spare you from all of the pages (check the Flickr set for the rest), but I found it interesting that the bad guy minifig in this set is apparently based on a green furry ghost. Maybe to get you hyped for the movie because you're probably not? But that's none of my business. Though this instruction booklet is bound in 'normal-set' fashion as opposed to 'premium-badly-glued-original-Ghostbusters-set' fashion, it still contains several pages of movie/character info. His character is supposed to be a bit daft I guess. The front art is nothing amazing, just some ghost-busting action and Chris Hemsworth looking like he may be about to ram into the car. (I ditched the box in Billund and my photos of it were a bit lousy, so I'm starting with the instructions.) (NOTE: This set was given to me as a gift at LEGO Fan Media Day in Billund, but the opinions are all my own and will not stem from the sense of giddiness I experienced being at LEGO Fan Media Day in Billund. Sure, there's a motorbike, but who doesn't love ridiculously out-of-proportion motorbikes? Nobody, amiright? So, come with me as I see if this set, or at least those awesome-looking new hairpieces, live up to my expectations. ![]() In this set that basically boils down to "everything" because there's nothing extraneous in this set. This set actually looked quite attractive to me for two reasons: cool car and so many cool female minifig heads and hairpieces. So if anyone has any, errr, 'comments' about the film - howabout don't. ![]() I've seen great sets based on of IPs that suck and terrible sets I'd never want based on IPs that love. I've said it before and I'll say it again literally right now: sets to me stand on their own merit, not the merit of their IP. Guess what this review is NOT going to focus on? That. Stacking up as perhaps nobody's most anticipated IP ever (besides Angry Birds, right? Please?), the Ghostbusters 2016 reboot/make/run/thing movie has sure caused quite a firestorm way before almost anyone has seen the film. Rolling right out of a Danish plastic Chinese restaurant near you, it's…Ĭheck out the Flickr set for more and bigger versions of all pictures!
