Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
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)
LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower
Pros
- Tallest LEGO set ever produced — 1,499mm (4 ft 11 in)
- Iconic engineering: the four legs are built as separate sub-towers and merged
- Surprisingly good value at $0.063/piece — among the cheapest premium Icons
- Display presence that no other LEGO set in your collection will match
- 10,001 pieces with no filler — every section has its own engineering character
Cons
- You need 5 feet of vertical clearance and a structurally stable base
- Build is a 30-hour commitment minimum
- Top section is fragile during transport — once it's up, leave it up
- Box is enormous; have a plan for the empty box before it arrives
