So, it looks like Christmas has arrived in July. The new LEGO Ghostbusters set has finally hit the shelves and it’s fair to say that the world seem more excited by this than the release of the Ghostbusters re-boot, out on the 15th of this month.
The director of the new movie, Paul Feig, was one of the first to get in on the Ecto-1 action tweeting a picture of his newly built 556-piece set.
Build complete. Super fun build. Kit went on sale today. #ilovelego pic.twitter.com/w49uW5DJKw

Feig wasn’t the only celebrity excited by the building craze, Discovery Channel’s Adam Savage also shared a picture of his set un-boxed – ditching MythBusters for Ghostbusters. It’s clear to see in this image, LEGO isn’t just for kids…

The box includes LEGO mini-versions of Abby Yates, Erin Gilbert, Jillian Holtzmann, Patty Tolan and Chris Hemsworth’s secretary Kevin. Not only does it include the infamous Ecto-1, but also the all-new Ecto-2 motorbike. Finally, no set is complete without a ghost for the ‘busters’ to seek and destroy – this edition features a ghost named ‘Mayhem’.
