Pros & cons

What I actually noticed.

LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel

Pros

  • Five fully-furnished floors — lobby, gallery, hotel rooms, rooftop lounge
  • Art Deco facade with green-and-cream colour palette
  • Built-in art gallery with three displayed paintings (rotates with mood)
  • Modular base — connects to other Modular Buildings Collection sets
  • Seven characters — guests, bellhop, gallery attendant

Cons

  • Modular Building Collection footprint (32cm × 32cm base)
  • Once you start the Modular collection, you'll want them all
  • Some sticker work on the gallery painting tiles

LEGO Icons Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Pros

  • Iconic 1959 Cadillac Ecto-1 silhouette with movie-accurate proportions
  • Working sirens (visual rotation, not lit)
  • Equipment bay with proton packs, ghost trap, and PKE meter
  • Opening doors, hood, and trunk for full interior access
  • Roof-mounted equipment is removable for transport-mode display

Cons

  • No included minifig (it's a vehicle, not a vignette)
  • Some sticker work on the side panels and windows
  • Size demands a wider shelf than the [Land Rover Defender](/reviews/land-rover)
