REVIEW | 10274 Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Quality of LEGO is declining.

Lot's of pieces these days not fit nicely and cause seams.

Finished mine today. Got lucky with the clear pieces, no big scratches, only really small ones when you look really close.

Clear backed stickers were a pain, tho.

I recommend using the spare part 1x1 white tile, and place it underneath the roof attachment of the two blue hoses, so the 2l [+ o] black beam does not hit the 24t gear in the roof.

I supposed, by now, some peoples must have compared those two...  but since I could not find it, here it is!

I'm building it right now and it's really a great built full of tricks.

But it saddens me that what I wish was printed, isn't (like the license plates, which were prints on the small version), and what should be stickers, is actually printed!
Indeed, I was expecting the no-ghost logo on the doors to be stickers, and thus to be able to complete the curve & put the sticker over the door - something that Lego bans from their design (sticker over assembly) but that I'm totally ok to do here. But it's a print!, so no hacking on the doors I'm afraid :(

really like this one

Okay, maybe I'm going crazy, but did they change the design of the 1x1 round tile gauges? Every picture I've seen of this set online, and the pictures in the instructions, show the gauge design with the silver tab at the bottom and the silver dot in the middle, but all of mine in came like this - 

 

Misprint? Or changed design? Or is it a different version? I'm just confused because the instructions show a different thing, and all the pictures I've seen from other people show the silver on the gauge. But I just checked the Bricks and Pieces section of the site, and it shows the gauge I have.

Changed design. as The clock print , and the blacktron II computer print too. Lego changed a lot oldies in 2020. Like the mail envelope or milk print.

Oh right. Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate it!

I love that thing. And I was amazed about how they squeezed in all the gadgets.
I also made a pretty much invisible motorization with Bluetooth control (Powered Up)

Somebody did a color mod, cause there are alot of off-color pieces used which make them look too pronounced?

Thanks!
