As reported previously, the official release of Randy Edelman's score was set to go ahead for June 11th, before it ended up being delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
However there is a fresh breath of good news for Ghostbusters fans, as listings which have started to appear on Amazon now indicate the release date for the CD and digital copies as August 13th, and October 15th for the vinyl version of Edelman's orchestral score.
In addition to that, the listings have also revealed some tidbits about the music tracks: that three of them have been re-recorded for the release, and one which was previously unreleased.
As a final tidbit to whet collectors' appetites, Edelman has uploaded a preview of the score to his YouTube Channel, which can be listened to above.
Over the course of the past seven years, LEGO has released a number of sets based on the Ghostbusters brand, most notably minifigure-scale reproductions of Ecto-1 and the Firehouse in 2014 and 2016, and last year's expert-level replica of Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
The Danish company has designed a new build based on the Ghostbusters brand, however it will be an exclusive feature of it's revamped 7,157-square-foot store located in Rockefeller Center.
Awash with large-scale representations of New York iconography, including Marvel's Avengers and the Statue of Liberty, the Ghostbusters are represented in the form of Slimer, Stay Puft and the Hook & Ladder No.8 Firehouse, which decorates the sides of the store's elevator.
In addition to the LEGO sculptures, the store will feature many of the facilities AFOLs and their families have come to expect from LEGO's flagship stores, including the Minifigure Factory, Mosaic Maker, the Pick a Brick Wall, as well as the new Brick Lab experience.
LEGO and Ghostbusters fans will be able to see the new sculpture in person at The LEGO Store - Rockerfeller Center which had its grand reopening earlier today.
As with all things this past year due to the pandemic, the auction houses have also suffered substantial disruption. Whilst Profiles in History appears to still be in hibernation following it's last auction in December 2020, Prop Store are gearing up for their next event: Scheduled for June 29th through July 1st, and like several previous auctions there's a selection of items that'll interest Ghostbusters fans.
Please view the topic for detailed listing of the auction lots.
In an update to our previous story: whilst in front of an enthusiastic crowd of Ghostbusters fans, families and New Yorkers, The Buffalo Ghostbusters franchise has officially presented the Ghostbusters logo sign to the crew of Hook & Ladder No.8.
Also presented to the crew was a commemorative plaque, featuring the names of all the people who helped raise the incredible $7,900 total, which included the original pledge of $1,000 for the replica. In a subsequent statement made by The Buffalo Ghostbusters, the sign replica was actually donated to the effort by Sony and Ghost Corps, and that some of the money raised will help to purchase a full-size, weatherproofed sign that can be hung outside of the station for public events, expected later this summer. The remainder of the donations will also be going to the crew of the station.
In a further announcement to those gathered for the event in person, as well as a further 600 people watching the livestream, The Buffalo Ghostbusters also announced plans to make a regular event to raise funds for Hook & Ladder No.8 and its crew each April.

Back in April, the Buffalo Ghostbusters franchise spearheaded a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a replacement Ghostbusters sign for the crew of Hook & Ladder No.8, after the screen-used one they had on display, and used for Halloween had been damaged.
The campaign quickly spread across the Ghostbusters fan community, and not only did it raise the intended $1,000 for the sign, produced by the Hollywood Collectibles Group, but it had received an incredible $7,900 in donations.
With the final arrangements in place with the Buffalo team and the crew of the Firehouse, a presentation ceremony is scheduled to take place tomorrow to coincide with other events for Ghostbusters Day.
The event is set to start at 12:00pm Eastern/9:00am Pacific/11:00am Central/5:00pm British Summer Time, and can be viewed via the Buffalo Ghostbusters Facebook Page for those who can't attend in person.
