Released in 2016 as part of the toys-to-life collection, this set allows players to merge physical LEGO building with interactive video game play. It was designed to celebrate the Ghostbusters franchise, particularly paying homage to the 2016 Ghostbusters movie.

Furthermore, the set comes with a new Ghostbusters-themed gateway build, which players can construct and place on their LEGO Toy Pad to unlock a unique Ghostbusters story mode within the video game, providing an immersive story experience that ties in with the movies plot.
This story pack allows players to explore and solve puzzles in various Ghostbusters-themed environments using the characters and vehicles included in the set. It is a collectible item not just for fans of the LEGO Dimensions game but also for Ghostbusters enthusiasts and LEGO collectors. The LEGO 71242 Ghostbusters Story Pack stands out for combining the creativity of LEGO construction with the interactive play of video gaming, offering a unique play experience that spans both physical and digital worlds.
