LEGO CUUSOO has announced that it will be producing a 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters Playset, featuring Ecto-1 and the boys in grey.
If you're not familiar with LEGO CUUSOO, it's a site from LEGO where fans can submit their own concept projects to be voted on by other fans. If a certain project receives 10,000 supporters, it will go up for review by LEGO as a potential real life product. If you happen to be chosen, you'll receive 1% of the total net sales. Pretty cool right?
Well community member BrentWaller submitted his idea for a Ghostbusters playset that commemorated the 30th anniversary of the franchise. After receiving the required number of supporters, the project was added to LEGO CUUSOO's fall review. Ultimately, they loved the concept (I mean who wouldn't...it's Ghostbusters) and will be creating an actual playset based on Brent's original design, which is due to hit shelves later this year.
I love LEGO and I love the Ghostbusters, so this to me is awesome news. However, I hope LEGO sticks pretty close to Brent's original Ecto-1 design since it's pretty much prefect. I saw how the final Back to the Future playsets turned out compared to the original concept last year and was pretty disappointed.
You can watch the LEGO CUUSOO announcement embedded after the break.
Will you be picking up the set later this year? Let me know in the comments below.
As always, stay nerdy my friends.
