"Ghostbusters Headquarters" is being immortalized, in Lego.

TriBeCa's famed Ladder 8 firehouse — used as the headquarters for the ghoul hunting troupe in the classic 1984 comedy — is being transformed into a 4,634-piece Lego set.

This toy kit, however, isn't necessarily for kids, considering its hefty $350 price-tag.

The company dropped the ghost-busting news just before Halloween, but the set won't be available until January 2016.

So what does $350 get you? All the multi-colored building blocks necessary for two floors of rooms, including a laboratory, ghost containment center and living quarters. You'll also get little figures of the original crew: Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston, and original movie characters Janine Melnitz, Dana Barrett, Louis Tully, the library ghost, and even a zombie ghost driver.

Aside from the expensive Lego news, TriBeCa's North Moore Street firehouse has already had some renewed attention in the past few months. The all-female reboot of "Ghostbusters," shot its final scenes at the firehouse, in September.

The new movie, which stars Kirsten Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon as the paranormal investigators, is slated to open this summer.
