# Lego’s Rad New Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Has Pop-Out Gunner Seats, Ghost Traps and a Rolling Remote Trap

The [Ecto-1](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/4415/11-facts-about-the-ghostbusters-ecto-1-you-never-knew>) from the *Ghostbusters* films is one of the greatest movie cars of all time, and it's finally here as a super-detailed Lego set. It's based on the 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor [ambulance](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/19589/ghostbusters-ecto-1-clone-hit-while-being-towed>) that stars in *Ghostbusters: Afterlife*, and it comes with working steering, opening doors, an opening hood and gadgets galore.

The 2,352-piece set includes enough traps for *you* to get trapped in the car, much less any Lego-sized ghosts that may be [menacing](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/12470/eel-coated-oregon-highway-crash-looks-like-a-scene-from-ghostbusters>) your house. There's a pop-out gunner seat for blasting ghosts from afar, a proton pack to capture said ghosts, a tracking antenna on the roof rack, a pop-out ghost trap next to the rear hatch and even an ejectable remote trap vehicle that wheels out from the rear of the car.

*Ghostbusters: Afterlife* may be the 2021 reboot set in Oklahoma instead of New York City, but the car features plenty of details from the original films, including the classic Ghostbusters logo. As a fan of [big old Cadillacs](<https://www.thedrive.com/culture/2426/first-trailer-for-the-new-ghostbusters-has-tons-of-ectomobile>), I'm glad to see that the curves of the 1959 Ecto-1 were faithfully replicated with curved bricks and even a curved windshield. There's even little rust stickers!

The set retails for $199.99 on [Lego's website](<https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/ghostbusters-ecto-1-10274?CMP=EMC-PROMO-LAUN-20201115-VIP_20201115_EXCL_GB_ECTO-1_GL-6191692482-734798-MIX-EXCL-0_0&HQS=HERO_A_CTA&RRID=6191692482&RMID=VIP_20201115_EXCL_GB_ECTO-1_GL>), but with so many toys-within-the-toy, it's worth it. It's a big set, too, measuring over eight inches tall, six inches wide and 18 inches long. Even the directions are bigger, as they come in a coffee table-style book complete with the story of the Ecto-1 itself.

You can see more photos of the car, watch a video of its coolest features and buy one to take care of tiny ghosts on your shelves [on Lego's website here](<https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/ghostbusters-ecto-1-10274?CMP=EMC-PROMO-LAUN-20201115-VIP_20201115_EXCL_GB_ECTO-1_GL-6191692482-734798-MIX-EXCL-0_0&HQS=HERO_A_CTA&RRID=6191692482&RMID=VIP_20201115_EXCL_GB_ECTO-1_GL>).
