The Lego Group has now revealed a new ECTO-1 set from Ghostbusters. This new set is bigger and more realistic looking compared to previous versions that were released a few years ago.

This new ECTO-1 is being released on November 15th, 2020 for a price of $199 in the US. It comes with 3352 pieces and is advertised for people over the age of 18.

This new Lego set is being released to promote the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie coming out in 2021. You can read the official specifications of the toy below from Lego.com.

  • Measuring over 8” (22.5cm) high, 18” (47cm) long and 6” (16.5cm) wide, ECTO-1 is packed with authentic details that you’ll be proud to display.
  • You don’t need batteries to enjoy this buildable model – it’s powered by pure ectoplasm (only joking).
  • As well as a step-by-step guide to building the model, the coffee table-style instructions include design details and the story of ECTO-1 (English language only. Download other languages at LEGO.com/ecto-1-book).
  • Part of a series of inspiring LEGO® building sets designed for LEGO building fans, and hobbyists who love beautiful design and elegant architecture.
  • LEGO® building bricks meet the highest industry standards, which ensures they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart easily every time – it’s been that way since 1958.
  • LEGO® bricks and pieces are rigorously tested to ensure that every building set meets the highest safety and quality standards, so you can be sure that this souvenir model is as robust as it is beautiful.
