A Nice, Fun, LEGO Ghostbusters Way to Hopefully Start a Sad Monday
LEGOs are awesome. The Ghostbusters are awesome. When they come together, and when the Internet applies its magic, we get videos like this one.
Major props to the fine people at digitalwizards for this digital masterpiece.

I Assume My Co-Workers Spent Their Holiday Bonus on Something More Practical
My company handed out the annual Holiday/Christmas bonus last week, and I kind of went a little overboard with mine. I assume my co-workers were probably more responsible with the money…but not me.
Booyah!
This was why I had such a good day on Wednesday. This is the ultimate holiday splurge. I feel like a kid in a toy store…which is literally what happened.
Recently, my office has been handing out Christmas bonuses as pre-paid, universal gift cards. The responsible, adult thing to do would be to maybe spend that money on groceries or bills. But for the first time in a few years, I’m not flat broke at Christmas, so I’m not clutching at a Christmas bonus like some desperate lifesaver.
So boom, free money! Retail therapy!
I went to Toys R Us looking for a big, expansive LEGO set. I’ve never had a big, expansive LEGO set. I kind of imagine that they’re awesome. But there just weren’t many good ones available. Maybe the new Force Awakens Millennium Falcon, or the Star Destroyer, but both of those were actually more than my Christmas bonus.
When it comes to LEGOs, I prefer vehicle models over playsets. Give me the Batmobile over the Batcave any day. Vehicles are one, solid, clear object. Playsets are whatever the LEGO designers feel like designing.
So there I was, scouring the LEGO wall at Toys R Us, and two of the greatest recent models jump out at me. I don’t know when I’ll get around to building them, but it’s going to be a blast. Sometimes I love being a geek.

LEGO Ghostbusters Video was an Inevitability
The LEGO Ecto-1 is out there, for sale, taunting me with its expensive availability. I guess until I’m rich, I’ll have to make due with awesome videos like this one.
Thank you to MonsieurCaron for having this kind of stop-motion fun. My hat is off you to, master builder.
Building Makes Me Feel Good! LEGO Ghostbusters is Coming!
LEGO will be putting out an Ecto-1 model (hopefully with Ghostbuster mini-figs) later this year, thanks to their fan-submission program. This has me excited on multiple different levels.
I can’t wait to see the final designs. And it’ll probably be expensive as hell, so I better start saving now. While we’re on the topic, here’s a List of Six I did a few years ago of licensed properties I’d like to see in LEGO. I can’t believe I didn’t put Ghostbusters on that list…
