I kept buying custom parts to augment my Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set.
I got the arms-with-GB-logos. I got the ghost trap. The packs and meter and goggles.
I got the Destructor, Zooly, and Vince.
But still it wasn’t enough.
I started prowling around-- first on eBay and then on BrickLink-- for existing Lego parts that could be combined into recognizable characters or moments from the films.
The parts I’ve ordered are trickling in. I don’t quite have everything finished yet, but here’s a little glimpse of what to expect.
Stay tuned!

“Dana, are these the eggs?”
“No, I just eat a messy breakfast. The possessed eggs are over there.”

Hah! Nice stuff! 
A Ghostbusters.nuts issue I’d wanted to do but never got around to would’ve included a bunch of vignette scenes from a fake “Lego Ghostbusters” game (which would’ve covered both movies and the video game). Seeing these, you’re kinda tempting me to resurrect that idea.
“Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?”
“Okay, Ghostbusters. The mayor wants to see you guys. The whole island’s goin’ crazy. Let’s go.”
“I think you guys are making a big mistake…”
“Hey fellas! What about the packs? What about the packs?!”
“Boy, this equipment’s heavy.”
“Why are you bothering my little ones?”
Alex
These are so cool. Great work man!
I hope you guys aren’t getting ‘a little tired of this’?

You can keep the 5 bucks, I’ve had it!
Keep them coming! These are awesome!
I love the janitor Vigo; nothing like super-obscure references for the most serious GB nerds.
OK, I’m going to have to bite: Vigo as a janitor? What am I missing here?

That’s… That’s just glorious. :3
I started not to share that one. I felt it was derivative of my earlier #MidWeekMattyMatters photo from the Cross the Streams Podcast page on Facebook.
But that Lego pushbroom was just so perfect!

New Lego parts continue to trickle in…
The hair-with-bun piece is not available molded in white, so I bought this black one for cheap from a seller I was already ordering with. My plan was to spray-paint it either silver or white (digital mockup on right) but now I’m kind of fond of the way it looks in black (unretouched, left).
I know, it’s a violin case, not a cello case, but I figured it was too nifty not to use.
Trying to make Terror Dogs a brick at a time. Still needs some work.
I may paint the baby torso in a more Oscar paint scheme.
Still awaiting some parts for these guys, but even with some temporary substitutes, looks pretty promising.

“Honey, where are my paaaaaaants?”
Sort of a double reference.
