LEGO recently released images of its recreated Ghostbusters firehouse. The two-storey structure has living quarters, a laboratory, a containment unit and a fireman's pole. The miniature set recreation is also adorned with references from the movie. Some of these include a slime-covered toaster, a refrigerator filled with frozen pizza, milk and cheese.
The Ghostbusters firehouse will also house LEGO characters from the film including Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore as well as some ghosts. The extremely detailed and intricate construction project can be owned by the public when the firehouse goes on sale in January 2016. This will also set the stage for the Ghostbusters reboot set to hit theaters a few months later.
