Headquarters for supernatural chaos

Where it all started… From professors to paranormal investigators, Peter, Egon and Ray soon settled into their new digs and brought Winston and Janine in to join the party. As the perfect place to kick off your collection, the Firehouse Headquarters (75827) is a two-story set with opening walls to display the super-detailed interior. Complete with attachable transparent arms to suspend ghosts, it gives the perfect paranormal pop to your display.

This LEGO set for adults includes the containment lab, living quarters, nine minifigures and three ghosts – plus you can even park Ecto-1 right inside! As the largest set of the collection with 4,593 pieces, we might have to put a little overtime in on this one…

Put pedal to the metal

As the iconic Ghostbusters vehicle used across the whole cinematic universe, there are three Ecto-1 sets up for grabs to complete your collection. To celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary in 2014, fan builder Brent Waller designed the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). Complete with removable roof, detection equipment and the four key characters strapped with proton packs, this stylish set ticks all ghostbusting boxes for the original movie.

Fan of the 2016 reboot? The Ecto-1 & 2 set (75828) includes the new Ecto-2 motorbike and five new characters: Abby, Erin, Jillian, Patty and Kevin.

The 2021 sequel Ghostbusters: Afterlife got a larger-scale, more complex Ecto-1 set (10274), complete with gunner seat for ultimate ghostbusting action – which you can buy on LEGO.com now. Display it with pride in your home!

Take your builds to another dimension

Do you remember LEGO DIMENSIONS™? It was a toys-to-life video game that combined physical LEGO minifigures and bricks with virtual gameplay. Although the game was discontinued in 2017, these sets make for great collectible pieces, allowing fans to display characters and vehicles from various franchises, including – you guessed it – Ghostbusters.

The first of four LEGO DIMENSIONS packs that feature in this collection, The Ghostbusters Level Pack (71228) gives us a flashback to the first film. Mini versions of Peter Venkman, Ecto-1 and a Ghost Trap feature with these quick builds.

He slimed me

In this LEGO DIMENSIONS™ Slimer Fun Pack (71241), Slimer and Slime Shooter make a special appearance. The gluttonous, hot-dog-loving ghost appears complete with his favorite sausage snack, ready to wreak havoc. Far from a worthless piece of slime…

Okay, who brought the dog?

What Ghostbusters collection would be complete without the most iconic enemies? Look no further than the LEGO DIMENSIONS Stay Puft Fun Pack (71233) with Bibendum Chamallow and Terror Dog. As the final boss of the first movie, the Stay Puft marshmallow man proves a formidable opponent for the paranormal foursome – and a quality addition to your LEGO collection…

Rebooted restaurant

The final LEGO DIMENSIONS set in this list comes from the 2016 reboot with the Ghostbusters Story Pack (71242). This mini build includes Abby Yates, a mini Ecto-1 and the headquarters in this movie, Zhu’s Chinese Restaurant. Inject some girl power into your collection with this one!

Head-to-head

To round off your LEGO Ghostbusters collection, check out the BrickHeadz™ Peter Venkman™ and Slimer™ (41622) set. With iconic details like Peter’s slime-covered overalls and Slimer’s two hot dogs, this LEGO set was truly made to be displayed.

Who you gonna call?
