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 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull
Pros
- Movie-accurate T. rex skull anatomy in LEGO scale
- Printed footprint tile on the base — most underappreciated detail in the set
- Articulated jaw — can be staged open or closed
- Modern reissue of the [Dinosaur Fossils](/reviews/dinosaur-fossils) skeleton concept at a single-piece price point
Cons
- Single skull only — no full skeleton like the original 21320
- Display base is smaller than the build deserves
- Lighting matters more than for any other set in the lineup
