These companies need to arrange the release dates of these things so that it's not during the worst time of the year to ship anything.... during the Holidays. The chances increase to have packages lost, damaged or stolen during this time of year.
Based on the doors, this is definitely from their Afterlife reference. The traps in the 80s movies always had four yellow stripes. Afterlife has five, laid out exactly like the Two in the Box trap's configuration, while the traps in Frozen Empire have six.
Hi Jason ! Love your content. Could you make a video comparing these two with other Ghost traps and PKEs like the Spirit or Mattel ones ? It would be really cool :)
So happy it's not just an update on the Matty Trap and PKE. The Matty ones were exceptional. so looking forward to seeing these when they arrive and have them live alongside the existing ones.
Kind of bummed they left that weird arm mechanic that opens and closes the trap doors... Those aren't present in any film used props and the Mattel Ghost Trap didn't have them making it more screen accurate.
Actually, the arm mechanic was used in the ghostbusters 2 traps (or only the ones that opened) they were white instead of black but they were still there
Been trooping since 1990. I have great love for my trap/pack/goggles all 80% screen accurate made of lights/metal/wood/plastic. I was happy beyond belief at Matty's PKE and ghost trap. Now my Haslab AfterLife combo is literally en route to my house from my friend's house who had it delivered today...and shipped it to me today. I don't troop anymore since Frozen Empire..but MAN! is there a heap of equipment surrounding me, all special in their own ways.
Maybe do a comparison vid with the Matty PKE and Trap? I enjoyed the wand one from a few years back. Hopefully get shipped before xmas. When I got my pack I had to pull a sicky from work as there was no one home for the delivery. I don't think asking to stay home to recieve a Proton Pack would have gone down well.
Been waiting for something more than just a "Shipping pending" in my HasLab inbox... No luck at all. Definitely not going to back the present HasLab if the previous one hasn't arrived before the campaign ends.
The car feels too expensive to me to back. Those Haslab project are starting to be more of a limited chance expensive pre-order than just making special projects that may not otherwise be greenlit. There was no reason for the Star Wars cantina to be 500$. It's just plastic walls and a few figures.
@@biagdoesstuf It could happen in the future. They did the proton pack, pk meter and ghost trap. I would make sense to do the goggles as well unless they really don't want to deal with any electronics that would make them actually functional. Personally I would like a second run or the proton pack or a new version. I missed it the first time.
Thank you for such a thorough video. The one thing that’s really lacking is the instructions! I’d really like a manual describing what things do, more than just the 3 words translated 20 times. But otherwise they are wonderful! Really going to enjoy these.
My two questions: 1) On the PKE, do the wings move in variable stages (i.e., down, halfway & fully extended) or do they smoothly move as high/low as you want them? 2) On the trap, is there an option/setting to not have any ghost sounds? Overall, it looks awesome, but there are some things I am liking better on the Matty trap. Mainly full color trapping sequence and trap sound effects. Looking forward to see a head to head comparison.
I have gotten 7 total emails from Hasbro that my package is getting ready to ship… just ship it already!! Hasbro is a complete mess, the o-ring figure preorder won’t ship until February (according to the app) but I just got it from big bad toy store. In my humble opinion I should have gotten my preorder from the company making the product first… otherwise what is the point of preorder my anything. None of this makes sense.
Hello GB news I think I figured out how the pke meter and trap are connected. If you manually open the pke meters wings near the ghost trap it triggers the ghost sound effect
I've always wanted to get myself a box full of Ghostbusters stuff like that from hasbro haslab cause the pke meter looks so fantastic especially with the cool sound effect it has and the electroshock on the wings on the pke meter as well and second the ghost trap looks incredible with different sound effect of each ghost that is incredible! I need to get my Ghostbusters hasbro haslab box like that😁😁
Tons of GB fans hav backed this. But i'm doubtful that their 1:12scale Ecto-1/Ecto-1A will reach 3000backers in time in order to reach it's 12K goal with 3weeks remaining
There is always a little boost at the end where people back it at the last minute. At least there is no unlock tiers this time. I would jump in if it was cheaper. The car looks really good but it's not 325$ good.
@@bedfordshiremodeller4491 The Ecto1a bundle should not have the Ecto1 parts at all. It should be 2 different bundles both at 300-325$ and include the 4 ghostbusters from their respective movies. Who is really going to go back and forth between the Ecto1 and Ecto1a with all the stickers that need to be applied. And the price of the base version is too much not to include the 4 Ghostbusters. Without the figures it would need to at least have some die cast and painted panels on the car for 325$. I don't want the funding to fail but if it does it should be a clear message that they need to do better on their bundles and pricing.
@@SpaceWizardCosplay True, but you never know when a programmer, for something like this, might sneak in a bit of code for an old toy they have lying around.
My biggest question left (a lot of them were answered here) is to do with the PKE Meter's lights. Can you swap to the GB2 light patterns on the wings like you could the Matty PKE?
Nothing that I've been able to find. I did try holding down buttons in similar fashion to the Matty PKE, but outside of blinking and eventually resetting, nothing appeared to change when it came to the wing sequence.
Just had a thought Jason. What if you switch the ion rods of the ghost trap with the PKE on, since you did mention there being possibly some kind of connection between the trap and PKE through the infrared?
I sure hope Hasbro sends a courtesy email soon to let us know the shipping window? Never ordered from them before. Do they provide a tracking number? I assume someone has to sign for it or they don’t deliver? Very eagerly waiting. So excited!
You'll get a tracking number through your order history, click on the two in a box order you made on hasbro pulse and it should give you the tracking number when it's on the way.
Great review, very comprehensive. The only head scratcher I have from haslab is why at this point they did not incorporate USB charge instead of batteries.
I really want to see a comparison of these against the Matty Collector versions. There are a lot of things about the construction of these that looks very similar to the point of me wondering if they were handed source materials from Mattel by way of Sony.
Not me, brother. Both sets are from different entries in the franchise/Ghost Corps. Matty covers 84/89 and Haslab covers Afterlife. They will go great with all my OG 1990 equipment I used to troop with. Gotta change the BTTF area to GB motif now!
Mine was delivered today to my friend's house by FedEx and he was there to sign for it. BUT he had no email. At all. He could have been out and about not knowing. Anyway, be patient, Chicago. 🙃
Wouldn't it been awesome if they added a motor that actually made the ghost trap jump after the doors shut makes it look like the ghost inside is trying to escape?
Why don't they just ship everyone's at once? Why get them out to the TH-camrs first? Weeks in advance even? It's not like It's for advertising.... You cannot buy them anymore unless you wanna spend at least $600 on Ebay. This is my biggest complaint about the whole thing... Special privilege for influencers. Thanks Hasbro. 🙄
@SirFunky Does not change the fact that they took all of our money at the same time. I can see the justification to them having helped spread awareness, to that I see your point. However, us die hard fans would have found out about it and supported it regardless. The message here is that they are, in fact, privileged. Their money must be better than ours. It sets a bad precedent in my opinion. To be honest, all influencers do is take something that people care about, make it about them, and capitalize on it. And the corporations are all too happy to accommodate them for doing so. This video would still exist even if all of them were shipped at the same time.
@@SirFunky Of course I didn't have to. But thank you for acknowledging that it was Pultizer worthy. 🤭 Yes, you're right. We will get ours in a week or two. I beg your pardon for feeling the need to voice my opinion of yet another way that this world is ridiculously imbalanced. Have a nice day. 😊
If you think it's as easy to ship over 24,000 units at once as it is to ship a few advance units to specific people who helped publicize the campaign, then I don't know what to say, other than that you have no idea of the logistics of mass shipping. 🤷
I got mine today. I have to say for everything you get, Hasbro practically gave these away. Absolutely beautiful!
These companies need to arrange the release dates of these things so that it's not during the worst time of the year to ship anything.... during the Holidays. The chances increase to have packages lost, damaged or stolen during this time of year.
I WANT IT NOW!!!!
probably the most comprehensive review yet. good job
it would be coming by the end of November they said you wouldn’t have to wait long they said
Literally for real, they said you wouldn’t have to wait that long. We’ve been waiting a whole year and we still have to wait a couple more weeks.😂😂😂
Really, they expect us to back their other campaign when the previous one hasn't even arrived yet 🤦
@ fr bro😭😂
End of November for "Influencers"
They never said a date. They said by Fall 2024, which if you look at a calendar goes until December 20.
Based on the doors, this is definitely from their Afterlife reference. The traps in the 80s movies always had four yellow stripes. Afterlife has five, laid out exactly like the Two in the Box trap's configuration, while the traps in Frozen Empire have six.
I can’t wait to get mine!👻
Absolutely loving mine! So happy I backed ❤
Hi Jason ! Love your content.
Could you make a video comparing these two with other Ghost traps and PKEs like the Spirit or Mattel ones ?
It would be really cool :)
That's the plan. It will likely be shown in an update video on the IR or when I add a smoke kit.
@@GhostbustersNews Better yet compare the GB1/2 Ghost trap to the 1:1scale Matty collect Ghost trap
This is super impressive. They didn’t skimp any corners on making these that is really well done and super excited for people who bought this
I just got mine today. The trap is heavier than my custom made trap. Everything is super - sturdy, thank goodness!!
I got mine delivered on Christmas Eve here in the UK. Best Christmas gift ever.
They thought of everything. What a complete and well executed package.
Great work Jason! Beautiful review!
Such great value I’m so pleased I backed it !
Amazing revview
That is so cool man, I wish I could have purchased these two. But I may be able to buy a resold one.
Jason any idea if you have to wait for the trap sequence to finish or can you press the pedal again to close the doors?
You can freely close the trap at anytime by pressing on the pedal.
So happy it's not just an update on the Matty Trap and PKE. The Matty ones were exceptional. so looking forward to seeing these when they arrive and have them live alongside the existing ones.
The Matty was exceptional, but this beat it hands down
Love the review Jason! I see from your twitter that hasbro have updated you on the IR receiver of the trap. Can't wait for you to share the details!!
The trap looks great but I still prefer my Matty collector trap that jumps around when it catches a ghost ❤
The haslab trap does it too. It has a powerful rumble motor and it works if you set the trap to rumble mode
@@oppenheimer11 nice! The only downside of the matty trap is that it looks plasticky , this one looks like real metal 🤘
@@RageONTv yeah it looks gorgeous i can't wait to get mine and to find all the features and easter eggs 💪
@@RageONTv - The Haslab trap has all metal parts including the side panels and connectors The Matty one is all plastic.
@@SpaceWizardCosplay even better !!!!
Imagine the fan films using these haslabs
It's a great time to be a ghostbusters fan
Unless you want the ectomobile😢
Just got mine in Malaysia! Can't wait to unbox it later. To those waiting it's indeed shipping and should arrive real real soon!
Will it arrive this week
@biagdoesstuf I am in Malaysia and it's here. The rest should be real soon too!
damn, you already got yours?? mine still waiting for customs clearence(malaysia customs)
@zharifonfire92 yes. Mine arrived in my office on 2nd Dec (Monday)
Got mine today! Another homerun for Hasbro
I got mine yesterday Sun Dec. 15
Thank GOD you showed off the Engineering card! Best review I've watched so far that gives a good look at it! Definetly going on my belt.
I received an email from Hasbro Pulse saying that mine has shipped! Since I'm in Asia, it's shipping from China with SF Express.

Great presentation as always!
I just got mineeee!!!!
Whoa, Real GB Slimer sound effect?!?!
Just in time for Christmas.
Happy New Year!
Great review, can't wait til mine arrives! Would love to see a video comparing the trap and meter side-by-side with the Mattel and Rubies versions.
i actually guessed the wavy lines!
Thanks for pointing out the mute function. I thought mine was broken. Need to RTFM for sure.
The scoleri brothers sold me.
Is the trap display stand wall mountable?
What if the want emits IR when activated? Maybe it does something when you shoot at the trap
Looks awesome! Hopefully they will arrive by Christmas
Ich kann es kaum erwarten❤🎉
I just got mine, how do you get the pedal and trap together?
The next few WEEKS? They're really pushing the concept of a 'fall' release here. 👀
It's most likely gonna come within Thanksgiving week or the week after it
Winter does not begin until Dec 21.
I’ve been waiting for the ghost trap and p.k.e meter review video all week

Looks amazing. :)
Have you tried using the IR emitter on the Neutrona Wands on the Two in the Box trap? It might close the trap when it's open.
The Haslab Neutrona wand does not have an IR emitter.
Never said to use the HasLab wand. Just wondered if the original wands "cross the streams IR sensors" did anything.

We spent half the video looking directly into the trap.

I would like to see a comparison video between the PKE meter from Matty Collector and this PKE meter
Will you do a comparison of the Trap and Pke to other versions like mattys or Spirits?
I really want to see a comparison of these against the Matty Collector versions. There are a lot of things about the construction of these that looks very similar to the point of me wondering if they were handed source materials from Mattel by way of Sony.
Anyone know what the screw hole is at the bottom of the P.K.E. meter? 🤔
Please bring back Ghostbuster world😢
I bet all the ppl with the old Matty Collector ones are tryin to unload them at a deep discount now. LOL!

Too long of a wait for mine to ship yet! I need mine last year!
Do you think the trap stand could be mounted to the wall?
Yeah, would likely need some kind of additional piece as it's pretty much hollow on the other side, but should be doable with some modifications.
@@GhostbustersNews Thanks!
Just checked my email and the label was created with Fedex. Progress! Marginally, but still. Waiting patiently in Chicago.

The trap has a rumble motor inside and you have to use it in rumble mode
Should've got it when I could
Wish I had the money for one of these at the time. Sad I couldn't go for the pre-order, but whatever, these look sick regardless.
1st thing people will do is find an alternative powersouce/do away with the battery's on them. Among other mods as well
