To me, the price isn't bad at all. 7 figues are included. A full set of GBs, Slimer, Library ghost, and Luis. All come with accessories. Full lights and sound for the car. Parts to make ecto 1 and ecto 1a. All for $400? I can't imagine a lower price at retail. If you are a GB fan, this is a must.
@@raynekravensame here… I can’t take it if it fails. I pray they’ll extend the deadline like they did with the Haslab Unicron, which I backed as well and the extension WAS the only reason it backed in the end.
Mondo is criminal for charging that much for so little shit, and HasLab is equally egregious with this stuff, the Ecto-1 shouldn't be behind a paywall and shouldn't be more than $200. These are just overpriced things regardless of how you wanna cope.
Yep absolutely. Just an iconic piece of my childhood. Weirdly I'm more excited about the ecto 1a version, just always liked those lights as a kid, even though the first movie is more memorable.
Ultimately not backing because already spent dough on Rattler and I'm not attached enough to need this vehicle. But I still think it's a great offering for Ghostbuster fans. I think Early Birds can work if it's something very skippable or excess. Like Gi Joe Haslabs, add additional missles or.......patches. But never apply the stick for these things. Tiers I think are still solid but depending I think it was wise to go Deluxe for this.
2 is my favorite, actually. I drank my share of Ecto-cooler from Hardee’s. My question, and it’s been nagging me for 35yrs is - is Ghostbusters 2 self-aware? Like, the No Ghost with the peace sign (for 2), that means nothing to the general public in the world of the movie. Companies rebrand/restructure all the time without putting a 2 in their emblem. RedLetterMedia said that the Firehouse in Soho has the Gb 2 sign. I’ve been meaning to go there and see it.
i backed it. i’m a huge ghostbusters fan and i honestly think it’s got a good value. If you look at the physical models they had at nycc this sucker is big and has loads of details. The lights are gorgeous as well. (if you buy the deluxe option) you get $175 value in just the figures with all their accessories and the car. Some won’t agree but i think it’s worth it
Price is on par with other premium vehicle offerings (not McFarlane, eww). I agree that the early bird idea needs to get scrapped - the direction they're going with these Haslabs has been great, otherwise. I think it feels like there are multiple a year because they're hitting us from different lines. Legends only has one a year, etc. They could still possibly benefit from slowing them down, so you at least get the previous one before ordering the next. It's exciting to get all the nostalgic 80's vehicles - in the past year or two we've gotten: 89 Batmobile (with lots of upgrading), General Lee (controversial), BTTF DeLorean (Kickstarter), A-Team Van(coming soon), GI Joe vehicles (so many!), and now the Ecto-1!! Just need KITT, and I'm all set. lol
It's a gorgeous toy, and if I were a big fan, I would probably back this. I'm happy to see how well lit this is and I'm thinking, "Hey Hasbro, why didn't you light the Razor Crest or The Ghost?" WTH!?
Backed both the standard and the deluxe edition. I want both versions displayed side by side. I also backed the mono Peter venkman and Samhain figure. I’m broke at the moment but so worth it in my eyes. I do hope the ectos get funded
The ROI on haslab GB and many others should make this a no brainer for many. If you don't end up wanting it later, sell for a profit! Don't love flippers but it's part of the thrill.
I backed for 2 because I want both cars on my shelf, as I'm a HUGE Ghostbusters fan. I don't WANT to buy them both at the moment, but I feel that's preferable to trying to track one down in a few years. So I got one basic and one deluxe, to help ease the hit to my wallet a bit.
$400 for a ecto 1 is insane. But when you think logically, you are getting about $175 in figures. So the ecto is really only $225. Which really isn't a bad price when you consider size and function.
Usually I’m a huge Haslab skeptic, but I’m really surprised this one isn’t being backed. Saw it in person at MCM Comic Con in London and it’s really impressive. Quite a few figures with it also. It’s a big surprise to me.
I only can do 1. Think if they are going for a less desirable backing, they should done it over the summer, not before the holidays. I’m a single dad of 2, can’t justify 800 bucks because I’d love to display both! Never liked the 1A, but would 100% would do both. Hell I’d rock the 2016 and frozen empire versions if the had them.
They had 2 haslabs over the summer back to back tvc2 cantina in June and gijoe classified Rattlor in late July going into September that started at sdcc. Hasbro is trying not to do 2 haslabs at the same time because of fall 2021 when they had 3 at the same time and the sw tbs Rancor failed. The gijoe retro 3 3/4 Skystriker didn't hit the last tier and the haslab Ghostbusters proton pack was a huge success. There trying to get as many backers as possible for every haslab. And Ghostbusters haslab Ecto-1 was hinted at back in June on Ghostbusters day and it said fall 2024.
Maybe I’m off on this but I think the deluxe version of this may be the best “bang for your buck” we’ve gotten in a haslab so far. The detail, lights &s pins on the ae to is great. When you add 7 figures to that plus solid accessories, this is actually a good deal. Of course if you can’t afford it then you can’t but saying it’s overpriced is a little naive. We live in reality and reality has context. When you consider other items of this size, quality and all of the things you get, this is about right as far as pricing. Also this seems like it will be a fairly low run as far a numbers go. I predict around 15,000 units which will make this somewhat rare. People are choosing now between this and Mondo’s Real Ghostbuster line. Some of these people will circle back in a year or so and be willing to spend the money for this on the secondary market. That’s my thoughts on it anyways. Time will tell though. Always appreciate you BN!! 🙌🙌
I ended up backing the deluxe version because this is gonna be the only opportunity to get a 1:12 scale Ecto-1 also the GB2 figures were a smart play to put into this Haslab. not to mention Louis Tully, Slimer and the Library Ghost.... win win in my book
Backed it on Day 1. I want an Ecto 1A to complement my Fanhome/Eaglemoss Ecto-1 build, which might possibly be finished by the time this is released. I only have a few more packs to go, but the constant delays make that a crap shoot. Also, they did wear the dark suits in 2 during the montage in the middle, and off and on during the rest of the movie.
I want this so bad as I have all the Plasma Series and was so hoping for an Ectomobile in the correct scale, but I just can't do it at that price point.
You could always back the deluxe and sell the figures or the extra accessories. It does work with other haslabs. With 7 figures plus all the accessories it is worth it.
This is the 1st Haslab I've backed! Didn't know at the time knew about Unicron, Sail Barge, or Galactus... if I did I damn sure would have backed it! Was going g to back the last GI Joe Haslab they did but completely forgot about it until the day after the end date to back it lol
Backed the base version day one. This would be my 1st HasLab that I participated in. Hopefully it backs. I think it’s fairly priced. The way I look at it, what would it cost to hire someone to make a 3D version and would it be as durable. These big projects are not something I back. So far the only other crowdfunding is the TOMY BTTF Delorean. And that’s 2 months late.
Not a Ghostbusters collector but I would have preferred a Marvel Legends deluxe large type figure of Vigo with his portrait instead of the Slimer and library ghost. It's obvious that this is all about Ghostbusters 2 with some GB 1 stuff to hedge their bets.
I have already backed it. It was the coolest thing to happen. Also, I know few YTubers have been highlighting the price point, and honestly I don't feel its expensive in today's world. Talking about expensive, the Mondo plastic ones at $100, that's ridiculous and still most folks are happy about it. I just wished instead of decals they could have done swappable plastic parts, as over time people would have to choose just one model.
@fozziw7490 true but that will be used up soon ...if someone plans to constantly swap.

Huge ghostbusters fan, but I just can't afford this. Sucks because it'll probably be the only chance we'll get at an ecto-1/1A at this scale, not to mention the ghostbusters 2 figures.
I’m a massive GB fan. Didnt even entirely hate the female reboot. Have all the figures except for the second ghost dog and the crazy Tully figure, but that’s okay. I backed the deluxe Ecto-1, so we’ll see what happens.
It’s cool, but it’s a toy. My focus these days is my screen-accurate rig. My current project is the Parka that didn’t even make it on-screen in Frozen Empire.
Ok course I backed it. I have a 63 Superior Cadillac so I need mini model to copy to 1:1 scale. I plan to get rid of my other Ectos to pay for this one.
I will say that I enjoy how they’ve switched things up and now they offer one version for x amount and another with basically all the tiers for a separate amount. So if you want all the tiers here you go. But you’re paying for them. I know it’s a bummer for many of us who wanted all the tiers but not for max price, but that’s better than you bought it expecting the tiers and then it didn’t fully fund and you’re now short one or two. Btw I’m to blame for the Ant-Man head. I didn’t get him. I should’ve. I’m kicking myself. I was just too wishy-washy and now we all pay for my mistake lol
Passing because I'm not that big of a Ghostbusters fan. But it is cool and worth the price IMO. I think HasLab campaigns are either going to become fewer and far between or go away entirely, depending on the license. Transformers and G.I.Joe are all perfect in terms of successful funding and reaching all stretch goals, so they have no reason to quit. Marvel and Star Wars have both taken some serious L's and have already begun to reassess their offerings. I predict they'll move to the direct-to-consumer model as seen with Dragon Man and X-Men 97 Sentinel.
If I had the extra money, I would back this. I'm not that big of a Ghostbusters fan, but it does look cool. And it would be a good highlight piece in my collection. Also it would be the only Ghostbusters toys in my collection.
I'd rather have a bus driver cap for Slimer. Slimer should also be translucent and have either mouth articulation or alternate face plates. And they had better make a damn Janine figure if this funds.
Just gonna be on my way to your place to see yours. I like this but... space. Also Haslab during the holidays c'mon Hasbro.. think. I do think it's super cool. Also I appreciate your video.
No, unfortunately here in Australia through Zing or EB Games, with the exchange rate this haslab comes out at an eyewatering $800. Far to much considering we paid a $1000 for the pack and that's better value for money.

The 4 horsemen just gave hasbro a master class on what a dream project really looks like with their dragon ..not a big marvel legends or a station wagon .
I would of backed it but sold my ghostbusters 1 figures due to the height of the figures they didnt scale with 1/12 display. And the figures didn't have plasma streams except winston. Proton streamer stripped on my ray figure cause the plastic is so cheap
A big question mark for me. I'm barely backing it. Feels overpriced, but there's no other way. If it's doesn't get up to 12000 I wont be dissapointed, and if it gets it goal I'll be having one. I'll leave it to chance.
Way to many preorders hit for me to back this but in a better world, it would be a day one buy. Also once you fa toe the figures are about 25 a piece the Ecto 1 falls in a rational price point.
I have zero interest in merch of any kind from the second film. This just made me go out and buy the figures from the first wave because I'll bet they'll jump in price once they have a vehicle out. I wasn't collecting figures when they first launched and they aren't the easiest things to find in Canada as a complete set without some being ridiculously overpriced already. If they had of done the OG figures with the OG car it would have been a slam dunk for me. I'll just use my LEGO Ecto-1 as the vehicle since it's pretty detailed and nearly the same size as the Haslab.
Why not just get the base set then so you can have 2 ghosts and an ecto 1 in scale? You can sell off Luis if you dislike GB2 that much. Probably get $50 for him.
I'm debating. It's really overpriced for plastic. Plus, the whole big gimmick--the decals being removable so you can have either car when you want--is only a temporary one. There's a limit to how many times you can switch, which also leads me to believe there's a limit to how long they'll retain their stickiness. I think, in the end, I probably will and have buyer's remorse after. 🤣
I think the reusable decals are a nice touch, but if people are planning on swapping looks constantly, they should just get 2. They did say they will include extras if frequently used decals, though. They should just post a picture of the plans for the decal sheets.
I don't think the Ecto-1 will make it. It'll be close. I don't understand why the Haslab Ghostbusters projects keep going up by 2,000 required every year for backing. The Proton pack only required 8,000, then Two in the box 10,000 & now the Ecto-1 a whopping 12,000!!!! Do Haslab really need 4+ million from Ghostbusters fans to make this project happen... I dont think so. Target should be no more than 10,000 in 2025 for the next project.
Fans should back it. Don't let this be a Rancor situation. Ask Black Series fans about that one. Main issue I see is the Deluxe makes the Basic set look overpriced.
I think it's meant to. Same reason a large soda is usually slightly more than a medium even if it's twice the volume. The base model only makes sense if you are buying 2 sets to display a GB1 and GB2 car. If you are only getting 1, get the deluxe. I do hope the Haslab hate doesn't cause this project to miss. I've seen some people say there should be tiers with more figures. Some even said they wished the figures were tiers, which is mind boggling.
The thing is, Mondo offers payment plans and if you are doing the single sets they will be at online retailers and you could snag them on sale. With the Ecto, this is it. When the campaign ends, there are no more chances to get it. I'm going with 2. Partly to display both, but partly because I think this will be a low volume Haslab and resell value will go up on this one. Once reviews are out people are going to realize what they missed.
Pass too high I got the Target exclusive Echo-1 and it's just fine plus I'm still waiting on my Ghost ship my deluxe cantina set dragon man and my sentinels I'm tired of all this waiting I finally got my Giant man they need too give us are other stuff first,,,plus all them figures are repaints 15-20 dollar figures that's ecto-1 is too high the only new figure is Luis WOW
I'm getting the base version from Ghostbusters. I despised Ghostbusters II when it came out and only rewatched it again a few years ago to see if I was being to harsh in my youth... NOPE! It's a terrible movie!
I backed it day 1. To me the “basic” package is a non-starter. They should have come out of the gate with only the deluxe set and push the value in that. Skip the tiers, skip the early bird nonsense. Let’s be real, only adults are buying this stuff. Quit playing games, Hasbro 😝
The Haslab proton pack in comparison was 400.00 and was a total deal for what you got considering it was a movie prop replica. 400.00 for a fully plastic toy Ecto 1 car with a few action figures is just way too much in my opinion. I think on this campaign Haslab thought Ghostbusters fans would purchase anything at this point whatever the price point and increased the price a little more. I do think the cars and figures are pretty cool and probably would have purchased if it was 200 bucks cheaper. If the cars were made of diecast metal then I think the price would be more justified.
(talking about vehicles only) HasLab is egregious with this stuff, the Ecto-1 shouldn't be behind a paywall and shouldn't be more than $200. These are just overpriced things regardless of how you wanna cope.
Will YOU be Backing this One?!
Louis was in a tan suit because he was wearing Spengler's suit from the first film (5:48)
Nope
Hell yes, backed it twice.
I did with 2 deluxes
Hell no! I'm smart
To me, the price isn't bad at all. 7 figues are included. A full set of GBs, Slimer, Library ghost, and Luis. All come with accessories. Full lights and sound for the car. Parts to make ecto 1 and ecto 1a. All for $400? I can't imagine a lower price at retail.
If you are a GB fan, this is a must.
it is a must! and it will totally shatter my heart if we come short on this.
@@raynekravensame here… I can’t take it if it fails. I pray they’ll extend the deadline like they did with the Haslab Unicron, which I backed as well and the extension WAS the only reason it backed in the end.
Backed the deluxe on day 1. I don’t understand people that will pay $100.00 for a mondo animated ghostbuster but won’t back this?!???!?!
@@somerandomduder personally I just don’t care that much about live action ghostbusters but grew up watching the cartoon
I wholeheartedly agree
It’s a space thing for me. I just don’t have a spot for vehicles in my collection.

@@DrethNET then avoid buying them and miss out.
None of these are anything but a complete luxury

Yep absolutely. Just an iconic piece of my childhood. Weirdly I'm more excited about the ecto 1a version, just always liked those lights as a kid, even though the first movie is more memorable.
I did back 2 so I can display the 1 & 1A.
Same

Ultimately not backing because already spent dough on Rattler and I'm not attached enough to need this vehicle. But I still think it's a great offering for Ghostbuster fans.
I think Early Birds can work if it's something very skippable or excess. Like Gi Joe Haslabs, add additional missles or.......patches.
But never apply the stick for these things.
Tiers I think are still solid but depending I think it was wise to go Deluxe for this.
The guys wore tan suits for the majority of Ghostbusters 2, but they do have dark grey suits in a couple scenes (primarily during the montage).
All the promo stuff is charcoal suits too.

I had no issue with the price tag on this one. It's pretty much a complete Ghostbusters collection that fits on one shelf.

Invite to Big Nerdy's house to play Ghostbusers! I'm in. 😆 6:40
I’m backing it and hoping it’s better quality than the 3.75 Ecto
Totally worth it if you get the Deluxe or whatever the higher tiered package is called.
$400 for a ecto 1 is insane. But when you think logically, you are getting about $175 in figures. So the ecto is really only $225. Which really isn't a bad price when you consider size and function.
To me this Haslab is a home run! Almost perfect!👍

Will I be backing this? to quote LA Knight, "No, no!"
Passing. Really cool. But would not go with other collections and space is becoming more limited with the other haslabs
I would of backed it but sold my ghostbusters 1 figures due to the height of the figures they didnt scale with 1/12 display. And the figures didn't have plasma streams except winston. Proton streamer stripped on my ray figure cause the plastic is so cheap
The deluxe edition comes with 4 proton streams for the dark uniform figures
A big question mark for me. I'm barely backing it. Feels overpriced, but there's no other way. If it's doesn't get up to 12000 I wont be dissapointed, and if it gets it goal I'll be having one. I'll leave it to chance.
This is an amazing HasLab, but I have neither the space or the funds, so I passed on it.
Hard Pass, the deluxe should have been the only option. Maybe $499 and it would have hit all its goals.
Totally get the apprehension. The structure of the Haslab is a turnoff. It's out of PURE nostalgia that I backed it.
Way to many preorders hit for me to back this but in a better world, it would be a day one buy. Also once you fa toe the figures are about 25 a piece the Ecto 1 falls in a rational price point.
Im going to back it, but idk if im getting the deluxe
To me, you get abfair amount more for an extra $75, but backing either option is a good choice.
$700.00 canadian
Blame Trudeau for this. The Liberals love a weak dollar…smh.
I’m good…. I’m at my limit on Ectos
I not going to to back it because I don’t collect any Ghost Buster merch
Backed all the prior Haslabs multiple units. Skipped this. If it had been the Ecto Goggles, would have backed 3
No im not backing it I wasn't into the movies but I did like the animated series.
Backed it
I have zero interest in merch of any kind from the second film. This just made me go out and buy the figures from the first wave because I'll bet they'll jump in price once they have a vehicle out. I wasn't collecting figures when they first launched and they aren't the easiest things to find in Canada as a complete set without some being ridiculously overpriced already. If they had of done the OG figures with the OG car it would have been a slam dunk for me. I'll just use my LEGO Ecto-1 as the vehicle since it's pretty detailed and nearly the same size as the Haslab.
Why not just get the base set then so you can have 2 ghosts and an ecto 1 in scale? You can sell off Luis if you dislike GB2 that much. Probably get $50 for him.
I bought one, but had no desire for the premium.
I think it's worth it; i just can't afford it, though.
For the algorithm; nope. Too expensive. In Australian Dollarydoos, it’s a lot of kangaroo tails
It's just bad timing for me. Have bills to pay on the first, If this was finishing in January and the middle of the month i would back it.
Hey nerdy great video. It's a pass for me, but I do hope it gets funded because it's a cool collection piece.
I'll get one
22 odd days and 3k needed I think it will fund. But no wont back it.
I'm debating. It's really overpriced for plastic. Plus, the whole big gimmick--the decals being removable so you can have either car when you want--is only a temporary one. There's a limit to how many times you can switch, which also leads me to believe there's a limit to how long they'll retain their stickiness. I think, in the end, I probably will and have buyer's remorse after. 🤣
I think the reusable decals are a nice touch, but if people are planning on swapping looks constantly, they should just get 2. They did say they will include extras if frequently used decals, though.
They should just post a picture of the plans for the decal sheets.
@@WiGgYof09 So you have to spend $800 to compensate for the car's chief gimmick. And you see nothing wrong with that?
Oh it’s worth it, I’m just not trying to wait over a year for this thing. As great as the products are I’m tired of these haslabs
I don't think the Ecto-1 will make it. It'll be close. I don't understand why the Haslab Ghostbusters projects keep going up by 2,000 required every year for backing. The Proton pack only required 8,000, then Two in the box 10,000 & now the Ecto-1 a whopping 12,000!!!! Do Haslab really need 4+ million from Ghostbusters fans to make this project happen... I dont think so. Target should be no more than 10,000 in 2025 for the next project.
Fans should back it. Don't let this be a Rancor situation. Ask Black Series fans about that one. Main issue I see is the Deluxe makes the Basic set look overpriced.
I think it's meant to. Same reason a large soda is usually slightly more than a medium even if it's twice the volume. The base model only makes sense if you are buying 2 sets to display a GB1 and GB2 car. If you are only getting 1, get the deluxe.
I do hope the Haslab hate doesn't cause this project to miss. I've seen some people say there should be tiers with more figures. Some even said they wished the figures were tiers, which is mind boggling.
I will not pay for this. Costs too much outside of USA.
I want it but nah I cannot fork out that much for this despite it being cool. I hope it gets funded for those that like it
Pass. Came to the conclusion I’m good with the Lego Ecto-1
I’m passing on this because I’m going with the mondo cartoon ghostbusters
I do think it’s well worth the price
The thing is, Mondo offers payment plans and if you are doing the single sets they will be at online retailers and you could snag them on sale. With the Ecto, this is it. When the campaign ends, there are no more chances to get it.
I'm going with 2. Partly to display both, but partly because I think this will be a low volume Haslab and resell value will go up on this one. Once reviews are out people are going to realize what they missed.
Why before xmas😢
Exactly. They need to do these Haslabs in the spring or summer, when there aren't holidays that require us to spend all our extra $$$ on.
Pass too high I got the Target exclusive Echo-1 and it's just fine plus I'm still waiting on my Ghost ship my deluxe cantina set dragon man and my sentinels I'm tired of all this waiting I finally got my Giant man they need too give us are other stuff first,,,plus all them figures are repaints 15-20 dollar figures that's ecto-1 is too high the only new figure is Luis WOW
Galctus head doesn't work
I'm getting the base version from Ghostbusters. I despised Ghostbusters II when it came out and only rewatched it again a few years ago to see if I was being to harsh in my youth... NOPE! It's a terrible movie!
I'm tempted but it's only big enough to fit the plasma figs, which are tiny. Like, 5.5" or something.
I backed it day 1. To me the “basic” package is a non-starter. They should have come out of the gate with only the deluxe set and push the value in that. Skip the tiers, skip the early bird nonsense. Let’s be real, only adults are buying this stuff. Quit playing games, Hasbro 😝
I will not. I'm getting 15 sentinels instead.
The Haslab proton pack in comparison was 400.00 and was a total deal for what you got considering it was a movie prop replica. 400.00 for a fully plastic toy Ecto 1 car with a few action figures is just way too much in my opinion. I think on this campaign Haslab thought Ghostbusters fans would purchase anything at this point whatever the price point and increased the price a little more. I do think the cars and figures are pretty cool and probably would have purchased if it was 200 bucks cheaper. If the cars were made of diecast metal then I think the price would be more justified.
525€ in Europe, so basically 550$ I AM NOT PAYING THAT PRICE
I'm in Canada and i totally agree with you.
They over charging gb fans ultimately
I just want to get the figures. The car is wayyyyyyyyyyyy over priced. PASS
They should of did this at the anniversary date. And what is it yellow?
(talking about vehicles only) HasLab is egregious with this stuff, the Ecto-1 shouldn't be behind a paywall and shouldn't be more than $200. These are just overpriced things regardless of how you wanna cope.
