Congrats Ghostbusters fans. This is nice to see. There are really a lot of Ghostbuster fans out there. It's such an incredible world they created in 1984.
I bought one just to resell it down the line for profit
Im so happy I was able to back this project! As a cosplayer without a ton of money or time to put into building my own and a huge fan of collecting and displaying pieces such as this, it was just the perfect opportunity! I cant wait to actually get my hands on this pack and take it to a convention or to Halloween events!
I really think they should add a screen accurate gb afterlife patch as a thank you for the more than needed backers, or a weathered egon name patch, I mean it is egon’s pack right?
I always wondered how they knew who's pack was whose in the films.
@@mattt233 they had tape in the frames and the pads were custom for each ghostbuster
@@commanderdeadhead812 thanks.
I backed mine when there was just over a day left. I already have a 3D printed pack, but with how much time and effort I put into it, I don't want it to get busted up wearing it around. I figure this pack will be a lot more durable for wearing around.
What material did you print your pack with?
Also I would think the opposite. While it’s true that you put in a lot of effort into your own pack, if you damage it you can repair it with the same material. Whereas if you damage the haslab pack there’s no fixing it and you can’t buy another one.
I used ColorFabb NGEN material which is a PETG type of filament.
My pack took damage the first time I took it out. The V-hook on the wand snapped on one of its sides. I was able to replace it, but there's now a nut bouncing around on the inside of the wand since it wasn't put together in a way to be opened again. If something larger were to break, I may have to reprint and replace the entire wand which is something I'd rather avoid.
I figure the commercial product will be designed to be opened in various areas to allow access for fixing/upgrading where my pack and wand can't.
I hope Hasbro keeps releasing amazing ghostbuster props
Especially a nice screen accurate ghost trap and PKE-meter.
Not gonna lie Adam’s video is what sold me!
Me too
Really hope Hasbro follow this up in the next year or so with the ghost trap, PKE meter/shocker and Ecto goggles.
My payment has gone through. Now to wait…
…

Boy this is gonna take a while.
Need a trap and a PKE meter now.
Hopefully the next two haslab project
I feel after crushing the expected goals and tiers, at 21K backers we should all have getten something else, maybe that exclusive green slime that only premium members are recieving!
That's called "greed". Be happy with what we're getting at the price point they are selling it for.
@@Quigomy perhaps you're right, but then again $8.4 million is no small number, so for that you tellimg me I'm asking too much for $5 rubber looking slime?
@@VUXORANIME - Yes. That's what I'm saying.
They now have to manufacture over 21,000 proton packs (not counting those who ordered more than one).
The money they made from each pack sale is going to be gone in a heartbeat, especially with all the extras, R&D costs, salaries, etc.
We are getting a SCREEN ACCURATE pack with working lights, motor, accessory stretch goal extras, etc, for $399. Most fans have built packs for THOUSANDS of dollars that won't have the functionality of this prop.
Expecting more than what we're getting for this price is 100% greed.
Be happy. Negativity is already killing our entire world. Why bring it here?
@@Quigomy my comment wasn't meant to be negative! Trust I'm extremely happy I'm getting this pack (3), I realize R&D cost, same as salaries, ect....but rember all this it was taking into account when they set minimum backers numbers 7,000! We out perform what was expected by 3 times! Believe me when I say hasbro lab and the directors of this project are as trilled as we are, they will be making a good profit with this project, which is great for us fpr future GB haslab, can you say PKE meter? Ghost trap, giga meter or goggles? I was just pointing out if we would have had 2 more strech goals we would have meet them without a problem! GB community is as strong now that has ever been!
@@VUXORANIME - That just means they have to manufacture three times the amount of products. It doesn't mean they have "extra money" after 7,000 backers.
I'll bet if they HAD listed a bunch of other stretch goals, we might have missed one or more of them and everyone would be super bummed for missing out.
Also, keep in mind that the MAJORITY of people who took the backer count through the roof came out of the woodwork in the last few days.
I ordered mine on day 1 in October, and things looked PRETTY TIGHT up until the very end. I didn't think we would even get the stand, to be honest. We were averaging only about 150-200 orders per day.
The price point doesn't leave much gross margin for all the gold and chocolate fountains you think Haslab is showering themselves with right now. 😅
As a species, we have just created a generation where literally nothing is good enough, and people always climb over each other to get "that little extra".
Ask yourself another question: was $5 of rubber slime REALLY what you were after here? I personally could not care less about the slime that I would never put on my pack in the first place; I think it looks tacky.
Imagine opening a brand new Xbox Series X (or whatever you find value in) but allowing yourself to be disappointed over the wrapping paper. That's what your slime comment reminded me of.
Either way, enjoy the pack and be safe. 😎
I'm.very excited. Got charged today and all went good. Now can't wait till 2023
I literally waited until the last hour to back it. I was on the fence about it until I saw Adam Savage geeking out in his video over it.
Hopefully with such a huge response we will get some more great items in the future!
Now that Hasbro has found out how popular this is, let’s get onto the PKE, trap, and goggles.
Couldn't afford it witch sucks it put me in tears I'll never have the chance to get one
Just a note on thumbnail design. The red border around the edge closely matches the red line that TH-cam adds to videos you've seen. I've missed a few thinking it was a video I've watched already.
I am lucky I ordered mine when I did. Can't wait for ti to arrive in 2023
😬
I backed this when you could still get the slime if you had the Hasbro Pulse subscription. Something like 2500 at the time, but once I saw the video here on Ghostbusters News, I thought about it for 30 mins and pull the trigger. No regrets. I remember being nervous we'd not get the stretch goals, but we blew that out of the water. 21k people ain't afraid of no ghost!
It hurts to have to miss out on this beauty. Looks like I will have to stick with my Spirit Halloween pack, and maybe tweak it when I can.
If they do make another pack, they should base it off of the one in the game. It'd be a perfect match for the wand's firing modes!
So glad I got in on this. Will be a long wait, but can’t wait!
Couldn't back it last night sadly since I couldn't do it in time. I wanted one...
Can't wait for my Spenglers Proton Pack! Yes, I already have Spenglers Neutrona Wand as well. Busting makes me feel good! 🚫👻😊👍
Same here 👏🏼👏🏼
Same here as well and gives me back the drive to finish my 84 pack I am still working on
I wish I would’ve had the money to buy it but I don’t anymore. And I really do want a proton pack for my movie collection/bedroom. And now I can’t get it because the deadline expired.
We need to second wave for the one ho could not get one this time, 😔
Wish they would extend the deadline until at least the end of the year…
$8,000,000 not bad Hasbro. I backed it too, 8 year old me is freaking out.
So bad that we can't order it outside US and UK... i totally wanted to buy this pack replica....
Kinda bummed I missed this. Would have totally backed this.
I mean it was around for a month
Sad I missed out! Didn’t get paid until today, so I’m bummed I missed out by literally a day
You should have got it with a credit card.
That was some numbers rush at the end, last I saw it was just above 17,000. Great stuff
And now we play the Waiting Game... Ah, the Waiting Game sucks. Lets play Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Man I'm so glad I ordered it. I can't wait!
I'm one of the backers...after building a Spirit pack, can't wait to get this and mod it and make it mine
Entertainment Earth? Is this an additional resource? I got in on the pre-order directly from Haslab for the wand, but that shows a ship date of December 2022. Am I missing something?
And now, the year and half long wait until shipping...
Wow that’s crazy, I got mine yesterday morning at 10am it was at 17,435
If you build it, they will come.... Bought 2 thank you hasbro. Now the long wait begins... 2 neutrono wands waiting
I got one to keep as is and got another one to change it to the 1984 pack. While I'm so excited to get mine, it is going to be a bear to wait till Spring 2023 to get them. But, I was able to wait patiently enough for Afterlife to get to theaters, so I will also be able to wait patiently till these release. So pumped!
Should have it just in time to wear to the theater for the next movie... :)
With so many backers Hasbro should add an Alice frame to the set as an additional surprise stretch goal.
I ordered it. But i will cancel my order. Didnt know that there is no connection between the wand and pack. Makes it totally useless.
If you did....you shouldn't of , because it does power up through the wand
Man the proton pack is going for $3k Rn on eBay. It’s crazy
Just because it is there , doesn’t mean it is actually going
@@cosmopoly i know but it will go around that price range as it’s kind off a limited collectors item
@@theoddalien eventually yes
How can people be selling these proton packs on ebay when they havent even been created yet lol
@@hrs2044
I think Ebay has rules against selling things that are "Pre-order "..
Can anyone please tell me where I can get ahold of the main theme cover on guitar at the end of the video, Thanks!
Also about the video: The pack looks awesome but I'm a broke college student , Afterlife was awesome though
I have a question, will the proton pack be available in France 🇫🇷?
Hasbro pulse is also taking pre-orders on the new wand
Sold out already according to the Hasbro site.
@@ElwoodBCT that's terrible but thank you for sharing other options
Really can't wait. The two Spirit Halloween packs I have were good enough for someone like me who lacks any sort of tinkering skill. This and the Spengler Wand though look phenomenal and for the price point it's just a fantastic deal. I just need to find a small cheap easy way to play the theme song while I'm carrying it around. Maybe a small mp3 player with a speaker?
The pack DOES come with that little empty storage space in the side. You could totally fit a little bluetooth speaker in there lol.
Even if it was $500, if it is as good as it looks, I would have backed it. Awesome price! Now, the wait would be the tough part, especially if COVID slows it down in getting the parts, and assembly.
@@jeffreyshev3707 Already got the wand. Similar packs are well over $1000. Combining the price of the wand, and pack, still easily worth it for a hundred or so more.
Are they going to be doing the ghost trap that's what I would like to know
Unfortunately I couldn’t afford it
Ooof! I almost paid for a wand on eBay but luckily saw that Hasbro Pulse had a pre-order for the wand too the other day. What's the story there? Why will that wand not ship until 12/22 and this one is February?
They can be had for $200 on amazon prime
I saw the same thing. Hasbro pulse now shows sold out on the preorder. I got in on it, and have the same question. Maybe since they are now sold out, the shipping date has moved up as well?
@@ElwoodBCT Dang. Glad I got that. I think that flew under a lot of people's radars, even news sources like GBN. It wasn't there, then a link suddenly appeared on the bottom of the pack page and surprised me.
im still sad that i couldn't muster enough money to buy one :(
So… will the pack actually be available to buy?
Cause it would be weird to have the neutrona wand available to anybody but not the pack
Like, I can go on Amazon right now and order the wand and I’m basically wondering if I’m the future the pack would see the same kind of release?
Maybe at the end of 2023 but until then it’s hasbros choice. For now it was the “get it while you can” deal but unless hasbro make it like the wand then it’s eBay for double or triple the price I’m afraid
From everything I've seen it looks like the campaign was the only way to get it officially. Obviously you could probably find them on eBay, but most likely for a much higher price.
Fair enough
Zavvi will be selling the packs as far as I know and they are selling the wand £99.99.
Probably not. It's hard to imagine that there are enough people who want one who didn't get one to justify a second production run of the same pack.
Is it Spring 2023 yet??
Man that looks so cool but I sadly could not get it since I have no money :( Edit I also could not get the wand
Do they count individual backers or numbers of units sold? We bought 4 through my Hasbro Pulse but were not sure if that counted as 1 or 4.
It would've counted as four. Their overall pack sold quantity they list as individual backers on the site.
My card just got charged today. I guess we are all set!
I noticed that the numbers are going down on the site. Is that normal?
Yes. Some fall off because of cards being declined, or backers canceling (which Hasbro gives people 30 days to do).
@@TightPantsJack okay thanks
Really bummed I couldn't get in on this
I bet because you can order up to 5 and plenty were posting they got 2-5 the average across all backers is at least 2. So yeah I bet they sold 40000+ proton packs.
Do we have to pre order it or even or it or will it be out in stores along with Spengler's wand? Someone plz help
Unfortunately no...
Ordering ended at Midnight last night. As far as I've heard there are no plans to sell it in stores or online
Show of hands...who bought more than one. Lol...
I would have been a backer but got fired because of a stupid covid policy so I haven't got a new job yet
Guaranteed the ones that's selling replicas proton packs on eBay & other websites for $1000 or more are looking stupid now
Hopefully I can get one second hand
For 8 to 9 times the going rate. Sorry. That's just the facts.
@@SpaceWizardCosplay That's the price for living in Europe. I would have backed it, if it had been possible
Anyone know of this sucker will play the Ghostbusters theme?
One unlicensed nuclear accelerator on order for 2023 🛒🚫👻⚡️
And here I am with my paycheck, finally having enough to back it, a day too late. Oh well... ^^;
If I didn’t “back the pack” am I still
Able to buy one in 2023?
Sadly no. This was a “get it while it’s hot” deal. Unless hasbro make more the only way to get one is eBay for either double or triple the price.
Oh I’m sure you can, but it will be through scalpers on eBay selling for huge amounts.
No. And it will not be available online.
And already there are some shitheads who list them for 3000$ on ebay. Good thing I bought it.
I saw that too, but I think Ebay deleted those listings because I think they have rules against selling items that are "pre-order "
I think most of them are scammers anyway
I can't believe the things that happened a long time ago or still happening and about Jill Biden and stuff Joe Biden actually bought this keep up the great work and I'm going to go buy that right now
