I'm not even a big Ghostbusters fan, and I'm so thrilled to see prop replicas of this caliber available to the public. If only every fandom could be so lucky. Kudos to Hasbro!
I was a full fledged adult when ghostbusters came out and watching your GBsters unveiling over and over again and your trips to the sets and the prop shops has been a serious thrill for that inner child who was deep inside that 26 year old pseudo adult in the theatre.... Many thanks !
55...and could not ghostbuster out this halloween because of the "China flu"... but watching this in the morning for breakfast should put a smile on my face....
I actually got a Ghostbusters trap as a Christmas present when I was around that age. Remember it came with a small glow in the dark Slimer. The door were operated with some kind air pump pedal.
Now * AHEEMRHMM! * let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment we're going to have to ask you for four big ones, four thousand dollars for that but we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, and that's only going to come to one thousand dollars, fortunately.
$5000? I had no idea it would be so much! I won't pay it! Oh that's ok, we can just put it right back in there. We most certainly can, Dr. Venkman? No No No! Anything! Thank you, I hope that we can help you again.
I just unboxed mine. I love it! The only thing that I am worried about for durability is the trap handle. I hear a fair amount of plastic creaking in the handle when I insert and remove it from the holster. The trap has substancial weight to it so the handle probably should have been metal as was done in a few of the other key areas. I understand using plastic to save costs but I am surprised that handle durability was overlooked. That should be the first thing upgraded by peeps with the skills to upgrade the part.
“I forgot…it’s real ghost trap!” This thing is amazing, and the pleasure and wonder of both of you made it such a fun thing to watch. I hardly feel sad at all that I will never have one!❤😂😊
This brings back memories of the original toys. Like the proton pack with the foam for the stream, and the trap that you stepped on a pump and it opened for a moment then closed. This is the adult version and I love it
Hasbro has a bad rep for good reason. Worst was when they lied about plastic shortages to increase their prices to the obscenity we have today. And since it has continued with the obscenely overpriced while skimping on both engineering and paint...this just proves that they can make something quality, but even then they have to scam by pretending this is 'crowdfunded' (it's a limited preorder...they already sunk 99% of the costs before ever putting the preorder live) and use it to show that think they can charge 3p prices for a 1p product so they overcharge even more. But FOMO has stupid people overpaying for everything nowadays that only makes this shit worse across the board.
@@Dashierez While true, a lot of that comes out of investors and the corporate culture going on. Was at the Providence office a while back and during one of the meetings there were many demands for cheaper quality goods and supplemental materials. I can't blame the company for wanting to remain profitable, but you definitely can blame them for the shady practices.
I finally received mine a couple of days ago and my son and I are enjoying playing with them. Feel like a kid again. Hasbro did an amazing job on the trap and meter!
WHY do people lift that ribbon before installing batteries??? It is literally meant to be under the batteries to aid in removing the batteries. By pulling the ribbon, it removes all the batteries for you, without you having to dig them out
Glad these are here and soon to be in my collection. When I was a kid I made the ghost trap out of old shoe boxes. Glad I have the close to real thing now! The trap was always the least made prop and glad it got some good attention now.
When I was a kid, the best we had was the hollow blue plastic Real Ghostbusters pack with the trap that had the pedal that worked on air pressure. Not knocking that set at all.. I have fond memories of that toy set... so much so that when my nephew got big into Ghostbusters I tracked down that set on Ebay and got it for his bday one year and he absolutely loved it. That being said, my inner child is floating on a cloud with the dreams of being a Ghostbuster are coming true with these amazing Haslab props!! I backed the proton pack, I have both variants of the neutrona wand and I backed the Two in the Box set... and I couldn't be more ecstatic about how amazing these are! I also get to share my love of Ghostbusters with my daughter who also absolutely loves all of these! It's a good time to be a GB fan, for sure!!
Your use of universally understandable explanations is almost next to unique, I can't say there are many people in the world that have a gift like that. But people like you really help a lot of us understand ourselves better. Thank you
I cannot wait for mine to come, as I think they are shipping this month! I am kinda mad at myself, as I wanted to go into the unboxing cold... but I just couldn't resist. Thanks for the great tour (and giving me a decent understanding of what everything does and how it does it, without having to look at the directions!) :)
I love when stuff like this uses real, common hardware. Lore-wise it makes sense that someone built this from McMaster Carr and DigiKey parts in a small shop. Its not like a super custom, slick, finished peice.
You're absolutely correct. When the original props were made in 1983 from spare parts, they just stuck everything together so it looks like it was made in the firehouse.
Love this! I CANNOT wait to get mine. Already know imma upgrade those internal trap LEDs to be WAY brighter and possibly a power upgrade to handle it. Thank you for doing this unboxing!
I know! They reference the button on the bottom of the PKE Meter. So it’s there just not covered here. Honestly, the video is a bit choppy with editing. Perhaps cut by someone new?
@@MrBrandon - Hopefully @tested can do a more in-depth review of the PKE meter in a future episode. Hopefully, before Adam decides to modify it, much like he did with the Haslab proton pack.
It says "Hello World, anyone out there?" The first text printed by computer programming language. It is also the first Message sent in Morse code. Neat
@@ZeaicliesIt’s far from the first text printed by a computer program. But it was made famous by a C tutorial in the early 70’s. But only the part “hello, world!”.
What it says in morse code was: "LO WORLD [unredeable because Adam yelled 'thats morse code'] ANY BODY [and then it wasn interrupted]. Ham radio here! Seems to start with "hello world. (?) Any body..." (who knows what follows...)
Just went out in full cosplay with my haslab proton pack for the first time. I have been super excited to get these to add to it so seeing you unbox these makes me even more excited for them to ship. Heck i kinda regret not getting two
I collected mine just 2 days ago. The best value for money prop package 📦 directly next to the Haslab Proton Pack ... definately NO buyers remorse for both crowd fund projects.... looking forward to Ecto 1 model releasing late 2025 🧡
Wow these turned out fantastic. And that chipped paint weathering looks FAR better here than it did on the proton pack, which looked like it was applied with a silver sharpie.
It looks like they actually did showcase the emf feature @19:30 while you see the trap open. Notice how the pke meter is on its display stand and is moving the arms without either of them handling it. Then one of them taps the trap pedal and it closes while the arms of the pke meter go down as well. Only they don't specifically mention it as it's happening. Cool beans.
Looking forward to getting mine, and I can't wait for the aftermarket pieces required to get around the counter-intuitive battery-shutoff "features" that completely detract from their usability as cosplay pieces.

12:20 get a mors kod redr for yor fon
OMG, PLEASE build the containment unit! That would be an awesome episode hands down!!!
Just not for a few years til I have my own wall I can mount it on without a landlord freaking out, lol.
That would be a epic build
They could make one that doubles as a cabinet front to contain a bunch of their Ghostbusters stuff!
Shut it Down! Don’t Shut it Down!!
You Must include the Power Down Sequence and Sound Effects from GB1!
I'm not even a big Ghostbusters fan, and I'm so thrilled to see prop replicas of this caliber available to the public. If only every fandom could be so lucky. Kudos to Hasbro!
*"The yelling denotes excitement"* should be the general sub-title of _all_ videos with Adam in it.
TEE-SHIRT!!!!

Sir, what you had here was what we refer to as a focused non-terminal repeating phantasm or a full roaming vapor. A real nasty one too!

So many great lines in that movie
I think the Morse Code was "Hello World Anybody there".
That's close to what I translated.
@@WiReDApe same here
Makes complete sense because the trap is releasing what’s inside of it and saying hello to the world. Awesome little mode they put in there.
LOVE it when Adam and Norm do unboxings. One of my favourite type of Tested videos.
it's like watching a kid on Christmas day. (in a good way)
So glad!
@@AngelusNielson Adam is basically a nine year old with a adult money.

It's nice that the controls are actually part of the design, making everything feels more real.
People often blame Hasbro for bad products but ignore when they can work properly they produce amazing works of art
hasbro has a bad reputation for many reasons, but haslabs is on another level.

Had I had this in 1984, I'd have gone crazy!! Great job, Hasbro!
So would Ivan Reitman and Stephen Dane
I want mine now. I'm so glad haslab gave Adam and Norm the chance to do the unboxing. Not only are they entering I'm excited to receive mine now.
Me too I want my box so badly can’t wait any longer
@RedCaboose almost there
You made my morning, Adam. I’m more excited to receive mine now. Cannot wait for this to show up.
Good lord! I had one of these toys as a kid and this is MILES more impressive than the little plastic toy was. What an amazing job they did with this!
imagine having these when you were a kid instead of the cheap plastic stuff we got
I hope Adam is enjoying his time here in Australia, you're welcome back anytime Adam.
This is great! I was smiling like a loon. And seeing Adam so excited makes me even more excited.

You would think Adam would know what that was for after working with stuff like this for years.
To say that Norm doesn't know how to put batteries in 🤣
I was already excited to get my two in the box but after watching this I’m beyond pumped to get it!

This is what Haslab is all about.. giving the fans what they want !! Can’t wait to open mine .
Norman is always so well informed about whatever you guys are looking at. He does a great job researching this stuff.
I can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm like a kid counting down the days 🎉
Your use of universally understandable explanations is almost next to unique, I can't say there are many people in the world that have a gift like that. But people like you really help a lot of us understand ourselves better. Thank you
Adam is truly one of us geeks who just loves this sort of thing.
Wow! To be 60 years younger again for things like this!

Man, there’s nothing more I want to see than Adam building a containment unit. That would be the kick in the pants to finally build my own

Two in the box! Ready to go! We be fast and they be slow!
My friends and I will be doing an unboxing as well once we receive our kits.
Just can't wait and this video only made me even more excited.
The prototype supposedly had an EMF meter feature. In theory if the finished PKE still has that function you can use it during a Ghost Hunt.
It still does
@@biagdoesstufI’m hearing rumors that they quietly scraped it in a Reddit post. I hope not cause that was the coolest thing to me.
@@timmyramone1985 they talked about it right before they turned on the pke meter and forgot to show it
15:41 is when they talk about the emf meter
@ ok thanks! I was going off a discussion on another thread while watching this and scanning the comments.
I'm so glad I ordered these back then. Can't wait.
Love this! I CANNOT wait to get mine. Already know imma upgrade those internal trap LEDs to be WAY brighter and possibly a power upgrade to handle it. Thank you for doing this unboxing!
That Ghost Trap is a thing of beauty. 😮
Very Cool ! thank you for showing us !
I CAN NOT BELIEVE U DIDN'T SHOW OFF THE EMF FUNCTION!!!!!!
I hope it's still a feature. If it was cutout?? That would be kinda crap.
@@Xrm550 it should still b there
I know! They reference the button on the bottom of the PKE Meter. So it’s there just not covered here. Honestly, the video is a bit choppy with editing. Perhaps cut by someone new?
I find the editing of this video to be weirdly suspect.
@@MrBrandon - Hopefully @tested can do a more in-depth review of the PKE meter in a future episode.
Hopefully, before Adam decides to modify it, much like he did with the Haslab proton pack.
The code is not completely captured in your video.
I roughly translated
“…world…anybody…”
Can you do a video of the entire message?
I think it's 'Hello World! Anybody.."
Hello world, anybody out there?
Pretty sure it's a reference to the Real Ghostbusters episode where Egon ends up in the containment unit.
It says "Hello World, anyone out there?"
The first text printed by computer programming language.
It is also the first Message sent in Morse code. Neat
@@ZeaicliesIt’s far from the first text printed by a computer program. But it was made famous by a C tutorial in the early 70’s. But only the part “hello, world!”.
The fact that this is all 9-24VDC makes me smile as an electrician...
Care to elaborate for us non electricians?
What it says in morse code was: "LO WORLD [unredeable because Adam yelled 'thats morse code'] ANY BODY [and then it wasn interrupted].
Ham radio here!
Seems to start with "hello world. (?) Any body..." (who knows what follows...)
I am litterally foaming at the mouth wit envy! can't wait to get it!!
This is more than just cool. Even as an adult I want this so much.
2:10 “it says two in the box” I was a little worried it was gonna say something like “pizza inside” I’m glad he clarified that
Just went out in full cosplay with my haslab proton pack for the first time. I have been super excited to get these to add to it so seeing you unbox these makes me even more excited for them to ship. Heck i kinda regret not getting two
I can't wait until I get it!!!!!! I was worried this would ruin it for me, but it just made me more excited!!!!!!!!
I collected mine just 2 days ago. The best value for money prop package 📦 directly next to the Haslab Proton Pack ... definately NO buyers remorse for both crowd fund projects.... looking forward to Ecto 1 model releasing late 2025 🧡
Wow these turned out fantastic. And that chipped paint weathering looks FAR better here than it did on the proton pack, which looked like it was applied with a silver sharpie.
Great show and wonderful shop it looks very very familiar.
Can't wait until mine finally arrives.
Greetings from Germany
Now, you need a containment unit for the ghost trap, it would be cool a video 😊

Norm is clearly taking over and is the new star of the show.
He's a wonderful addition along side Adam together they have a wonderful set of knowledge.
They need to make this a reality for us geeks and not just for a TH-cam channel! We want it too!
Can't wait for the two sets coming my way. One will stay as is and one will get modified. So hyped.
Cannot wait for mine to come!

Soo awesome. Way better than my plastic Ghost Trap and PKE meter I had as a kid lol 😅
So cool it has non-molded in parts, that can be removed, so makers can customize/mod. I can’t wait to see what the community comes up with.
I'm glad that my wife bought me a set not knowing that I already bought my own... now I have two of these amazing sets on their way!

I look forward to a weathering video for these items soon! Haha
Am glad I purchased mine before xmas 2023 will be getting it soon after my notification
Can’t wait to receive mine 😎
Love to see both on the same video
The low-volt motor controls on the PKE meter are amazeballs.
@oppenheimer11good thing. The motors aren’t to fast or loud
Cant wait to get mine!! I hope you do another video of you weathering these items like you did for the pack.
I was happy with it myself and the EMF sensor actually works on the PKE meter.
I can’t wait for my trap to come! I was like the 85th order of it!
Amazing!!! Guys u rock!
Yes, I've been planning to build a containment unit in my man cave for some time. That would be a cool build to watch!
I was thinking Adam has to make a containment unit now😂 glad he said it🎉
Nice! Can't wait to get mine. I'm sure someone will have a smoke kit available soon for these!
I backed this on a whim and I’m stupid excited
I can't wait to receive this.
My favorite toy as a kid! The cow says, "moo".
We are in such an amazing time for fabrication of quality toys and props etc.
cant wait to get mine, great to see the smoke effect!
You know there isn't a built in smoke effect right?... they've added that.
Looking forward to getting mine, and I can't wait for the aftermarket pieces required to get around the counter-intuitive battery-shutoff "features" that completely detract from their usability as cosplay pieces.
I had the late 1980s toy trap and pke meter. This is cool! Would love to see a containment unit.
