Holy chit. I've been checking Target.com daily for the Family That Busts Together set, getting more and more dismayed each day as it was listed discontinued for shipping and having seen no local store movement for at least a month. Today, two randomly popped up at a nearby store, and I just got the confirmation that it's ready for pickup. I won't believe it til I have it in hand, but check your listings...maybe they're trickling back in.

I did in-store pick up in Poughkeepsie Target for the Family that Busts Together and it actually worked. I checked my app this morning and it showed 2 in stock, so I figured I would give it a shot and it notified me that it was ready for pick up and it actually worked. I went to the store and they gave it to me. I was shocked.
I'm very happy to have this and have completed the Plasma Series so far. I hope they make more figures soon.

What a pain the past month was, thinking I'd never get this thing. I'm not entirely looking to complete the Afterlife set, but I want to get all the Spenglers (so I guess I gotta buy Trevor now). My wife got me the Tully set for Christmas, so I've got the full set from the first movie. I'd love to see some Plasma figures from GBII.

My wife got me the Tully set for Christmas, so I've got the full set from the first movie. I'd love to see some Plasma figures from GBII. I'm really hoping for Plasma Series figures of: - Slimer - Vigo - Janosz - Janine - Walter Peck - All 4 Ghostbusters in GBII suits. I'd probably even buy Mr. Grooberson. I'd love to see a Plasma Ecto that the figures can actually FIT into, and I'd love them to do something like what Mattel did with that containment unit accessory that came with Walter Peck back in the day. As far as role play items, I've got the Spengler wand and I backed the proton pack, so I'm really hoping they do a PKE meter and trap sooner rather than later. I don't even care if they are Afterlife themed. I know a lot of people would have preferred a 1984 wand and pack instead of Afterlife, but it may be the best we'll ever be able to get, so I can deal with it. If I get a PKE meter, I don't really care if it's Afterlife themed. I actually kind of like taser mode.

The Plasma series has so much potential to dive into. I know GB doesn't have as big a fan base as other properties like Star Wars or Marvel but there is plenty of material to pull from to have this line constantly pumping out waves like Black Series and Legends do. All the movies (even ATC), cartoon (Real & Extreme), video games, and even the IDW comic run. There are so many figures I'd want and would love to see Hasbro make. The People Busters...ghost versions from Citizen Ghost...a full run of the Extreme team...the core team in Dan Schoening art style just to name a few.

The big pieces I feel like I'm missing for a Plasma collection right now are Vigo the Carpathian and Louis Tully in his gear from the end of GBII.

I found that Muncher at 7-11 about a week ago. My son wanted the pizza slice mini puft and I stopped by a 7-11 I pass going home from my office. The Muncher was all they had for Ghostbusters so I grabbed it for him. He loved it.
Also, that Fright Features Bug-Eye is so amazing. That's my favorite thing to come out of that Basic line. Hopefully the Afterlife characters get wider distribution here soon since I've never seen them at retail anywhere.

I guess my local Target has been purging their backroom on account of all the crap in the toy department hitting clearance, because I saw my first GB:A figures in stores in months this past weekend. Scanned a Trevor (who was the only one left I really wanted, to complete the extended Spengler clan), and even though he was showing full price, I decided to go in on it and not miss out again. Got up to the register, and he rang up for $6.89. You love to see it.

So did anyone else jump in on the selfie series? I ordered on launch day and received an email today that my figure is finished and ready for packing to ship. Pretty quick turn around. Pretty cool concept, hope execution turns out ok.

Pretty cool concept, hope execution turns out ok. i went through the scanning process but it looked nothing like me and thereβs no hair/beard styles even close to mine so i found it to be not worth the money. if the scanning gets better and they add more hair options, maybe iβll be more likely to give it a try but for now, im skipping it

Received my selfie figure today. To get it in 10 days when the ETA was middle of November was pretty surprising. My scan in the app was "ok" at best but I still ordered just to give it a shot. The final product came out way better than how it appeared in the scan. The solid black neck peg looks terrible, so ordered an extra Plasma figure to do a head swap. Hopefully they continue to improve on this by adding different body types, more hair styles, etc.. But overall, pretty happy with how it turned out. Definitely feel its worth the price to be able to add myself to my shelf and it being made by the official company and not some custom fixup.

I got an email from pulse saying the HasLab proton packs are shipping soon and to ensure that my shipping address was correct and locked in by January 1. GhostbustersNews also reported that some UK people have already received their proton packs.
Looks like the US ones will start shipping in January. Iβm looking forward to it. Iβve waiting 38 years to have a legit proton pack. This is definitely a holy grail item, and I love that it makes both afterlife and 1984 sounds.
So Iβm sure everyone who ordered got the same email, but just in case maybe somebody missed the email or it went to spam or whatever, if you backed the HasLab proton pack, just make sure your shipping address is correct by January 1. You donβt want this item going to the incorrect location!

has anyone made a customs Louis in uniform (Hasbro) I was thinking of using a Phoebe when the price comes down on the 2 pack, the Diamond Select Louis Tully is awesome but way to big to match...
