This is enough to satisfy fans of the Ghostbusters franchise with a rumor that announces the release of the set 75827 Ghostbusters Headquarters for January 2016.

Not much is known yet about this box, other than that it should contain 4600 pieces, that its US public price would be $ 350 and that the building would open to allow access to a detailed interior as was for example the case of the haunted house of the set Monster Fighters 10228 Haunted House released in 2012.

We will remember the lego ideas project proposed by Brent Waller (visual above) which had finally been validated by LEGO but which only allowed us to obtain the Ectomobile and the four main characters in the set 21108 Ghostbusters.

LEGO would therefore have finally decided to market its version of the headquarters of the ghost hunters in a D2C set (Direct2Consumer). The rumor however does not specify the number of minifigs provided in this box and does not confirm the presence of a possible new Ectomobile.

However, it seems unthinkable to me that LEGO does not deliver the Ecto-1 in a set of 4600 pieces based on the Ghostbusters franchise and sold for $ 350 ... We will also probably be entitled to a new version of the four Ghostbusters, and the minifig of Peter Venkman featured in the Level Pack LEGO Dimensions 71228 is in my opinion just a taste of what we will discover in this big set, just like the Slimer of the Fun pack 71241 and the Stay Puft of Fun pack 71233.

Update : For anyone wondering where all the 2016 sets lists currently available come from: The new sets referenced on the official LEGO website are detectable using a temporary address intentionally altered which is automatically converted by the manufacturer's server and which then lets appear the name of the set concerned ... You can try by indicating the desired set number in the two places required in the address.
All of the 2016 set lists posted on various forums to date have obviously been compiled by this means.

To be continued...

Do you want more ? Here are more! LEGO has just unveiled three new LEGO Dimensions expansion packs based on the Ghostbusters license.

On the menu: A Level Pack (71228 Reference), which will allow, as its name suggests, to unlock an additional level and which contains the minifigure of Peter Venkman, a micro version of the Ecto-1 and a Ghost Trap.

Two Fun Packs (References 71233 & 71241), which will allow you to play with the included characters (Slimer, Stay Puft) and objects (Slimer Shooter, Terror Dog), are also on the program.

Fans of the Ghostbusters license will be in heaven: On the occasion of the posting of a new trailer focusing on the different possibilities of use of the vehicles and accessories provided in the starter and expansion packs, Warner and TT Games officially confirms the presence of the Ghostbusters and Midway Arcade licenses in the LEGO Dimensions game:

"... LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical brick building with interactive console gameplay, will include gameplay fromThe Simpsons ™, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters ™, Portal®, Jurassic World ™, Midway arcade, LEGO® Chima ™ and Scooby Doo! ™ These fan favorite worlds, most of which have never before been in a LEGO videogame, will converge with the previously announced DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings ™, The LEGO® Movie ™, The Wizard of Oz ™, LEGO® Ninjago ™ and Back to the Future ™ worlds in one thrilling adventure playable with the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack ..."

Here are two really interesting videos which show on one side the Australian Brent Waller, creator of the Cuusoo Ghostbusters project, and Marcos Bessa, designer at LEGO who took over the initial project to adapt it to the codes and constraints of the brand. before being marketed as a set 21108 Ghostbusters.

The exchange between the two speakers, a talented MOCeur and a designer who has largely proven himself at LEGO, allows us to obtain some detailed information on the work of the designers in charge of adapting a Cuusoo / Ideas project. .

The conversation is in English, but it is easy to follow thanks to the many elements that Marcos Bessa presents to support his point.

The first part below focuses on Marcos Bessa's answers to Brent Waller's questions.

The second video sees the roles reversed: Brent Waller responds to Marcos Bessa.

Just a quick note to the attention of all those who do not read the comments of previous posts: The LEGO ideas 21108 Ghostbusters set is actually available in French LEGO Stores for 49.99 € (confirmed in Levallois, if you have found the set elsewhere, do not hesitate to mention it in the comments)!

I'm also rather surprised that many new products from the second half of the year are already on sale in French LEGO Stores when they are still not listed. on the LEGO Shop... Undoubtedly a way of giving the first to loyal customers of these official stores.

And when you've opened the box and found that the four included minifigs are missing something, you can always spend a few extra dollars to get yourself arms stamped with the franchise logo. at this address.

Below, the review of the set by Artifex.
