If anyone is still looking for the retro Kenner RGB Ecto-1, it's available on the Walmart site. I ordered one late Friday night and it was delivered today.

Looks like HasLab Proton Pack coming on 10/27.
I really hope it’s not like $500+ but I’m really worried with how every toy has skyrocketed in price in the last month. I’m in if it’s in the $300’s but I’m assuming I’ll have to pass.

I'm disappointed they didn't announce any more RGB releases at Pulse Con.

If the Gi Joe Skystriker is going for $230 when this was what, $60 back in the day? No way a full size proton pack is under 5 hundo.

$399 for the proton pack.
I’m honestly not in love with it. First of all, it’s an Afterlife pack. Second,it doesn’t look full size, and third; not being on an A.L.I.C.E frame is a huuuuuge bummer.
I think I’m going to wait to see if they ever do a 1984 version.

I think I’m going to wait to see if they ever do a 1984 version. My problems with it, as well. Primarily the 84 thing, and the gimmick of having to buy the wand and the pack separately, and seemingly having them not connect, is super odd. I'm happy people are onboard. I would have much rather had a 6" scaled Ecto-1, or even a rerelease of the Kenner Firehouse, which I don't need since I have a couple of the originals, but would support out of pure principle. Also, and maybe this is a hot take, but that deluxe Spirit Halloween pack is only like $80 and it's usually 20% off with free shipping. So I'm shocked that this is almost backed completely already when it doesn't look particularly accurate, and you can get a really cool version for $70 right now. But again, I'm happy this is doing so well. Hasbro has really disappointed me with all things Ghostbusters as we lead into this film. The buzz and popularity seems way higher than what manufactures, maybe retailers after 2016, are giving it credit imo. They didn't even bring back Ecto Cooler. I guess we'll see in under three weeks how right or wrong I am on that point.

The buzz and popularity seems way higher than what manufactures, maybe retailers after 2016, are giving it credit imo. They didn't even bring back Ecto Cooler. I guess we'll see in under three weeks how right or wrong I am on that point. I changed my mind on the pack. I'm going to get it. Hasbro released some facts on the pack yesterday. They say it is in fact 1:1 scale and they can't lie about scale they say. They also said that the pack is designed to connect to an LC-1 A.L.I.C.E frame and the pack WILL COME WITH the pieces needed to connect the frame. Those bits of info swung me toward wanting it. I was pretty sure I would have been able to attach a frame to the pack, but it might not have been easy and for 399.99 I didn't want to be having to drill into this thing and going to Home Depot and trying to cobble together bips and bops to try and get it the way I want....them designing it for the frame and including the correct pieces to connect it....SOLD. Also, the 9000 backer stretch goal is the connector hose (which looks like it will allow the want and pack to electronically interact) and stickers to convert the pack to a 84 pack.....I'm sold. I'll be backing this very soon.

I have the Mattel Ghostbusters figures that were released at Walmart, the series that built the Ghostbusters 🚫 logo.
Was thinking about getting the Ecto 1 from the Afterlife figures, the $26 Ecto 1 that’s on shelves right now, not the Plasma version.
I know it’s not 100% screen accurate, but I’m just looking for something to display with them. Was curious about how it would scale with them, before I buy it.

The $26 Ecto-1 is smaller than the original Kenner (see my pics from last page). Below is a pic with a Mattel and an original Kenner Ecto (not my pic). The Mattel’s tower over it, they would more so the newer version.

I thought that Ecto 1 would add a bit to them whenever I decided to have them on display….and the $26 price was interesting, because I don’t really wanna invest in the Plasma series Ecto 1.

I ordered the AMC Ecto-1 Popcorn holder today. It took 45 minutes, and it's technically a pre-order since I'm one of the back-order people, but hopefully it eventually shows up. I was able to get one of the Mini Puft holders right away off of Mercari. I'm going to let my son eat out of that one. I have it put away until the bluray is released and then I'm going to surprise him with it. I handed down my ninja turtle cereal bowls (my mom keeps everything) to him and he eats out of them pretty much every morning. So I think he's going to dig the popcorn holders. I went to see Afterlife at two different theaters and neither one had any kind of GB swag. Glad to at least have options since we're not getting a ton of merch this time around. I still haven't found the cereal but I did find the branded popcorn finally today. Also, spoiler alert, but hopefully everyone saw this, because it absolutely ing rules. And we finally get the Zuul terror dog head. Which sets off my OCD alarm every time I look at them. Again. Huge spoiler. Literally do not click if you haven't seen Afterlife yet. Also, the mini pufts on the Haslab pack rules. Probably going to have to just breakdown and get it haha.

I went into a panic when they showed the correct terror dog head replacement and shot over to the Bay and ordered a full BAF for $60. I have them in storage since i display the Diamond Select versions and COMPLETELY forgot that we already have two from the Louis set. haha oh well.

Definitely going to do some hunting this week. Panel said it should hit 11/28 so wonder if they are street dated. Agree 100% on the pack. Looks incredible. I really like the look of the stand as-well and hope we are able to hit that tier.

I'm guessing they're going to be register locked since they were held back for spoilers. I'm checking for it all this week too anyway. I'm actually hoping the Out of stock listing will pop up on Target and then it'll give me the store pickup option for the 28th.

the spengler proton pack was already funded, but holy crap it picked up a ton of steam today! i’d be surprised if it hit every level by the end, but with 20 days left it’s definitely still possible
