Last month, LEGO stunned the brick-building world with the grandeur of the teaser photos of the long-demanded, iconic 75827 Firehouse Headquarters set. With the set scheduled to launch on January 1st, 2016, we knew that we’d be seeing the full reveal and official images of the Ghostbusters Firehouse sooner than later, and the destined time has now arrived! It may release on the first day of 2016, but I think we may be looking at the future best set of the year: it’s the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters 75827!

Now that you’ve seen the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters set fully revealed, what do you think, brick fans? Is this spooky set worth its terror-inducing price-tag of $350, or has TLG failed to impress you enough to earn those kind of big bucks with this latest licensed set?
My big question is whether ECTO-1 will fit inside. Can’t wait for this set.
Read the article again instead of skimming it.
A bit disappointing; I’m glad it has an interior, but there’s really very little distinctively Ghostbusters about it. Just a bunch of general locals that would fit in any place, really (kitchen, Egon’s lab). Aside from the node to the toaster, nothing about the interior is especially exciting (after you remove yourself from the fact that it’s exiting to have a ghost busters set in general!) And the more I observe, they must be giving you a huge sticker sheet with this!
