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 Jazz Club

Pros

  • Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
  • Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
  • New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
  • Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
  • Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets

Cons

  • $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
  • Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
  • Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
