I didn't buy because of Winston. Had he been played by Eddie Murphy I would've bought it.

Just a heads up!
If you wait listed any of the Ghostbuster figures from Timewalker, Steven sent out an email that the distribution company Bluefin has requested how many more figures does Timewalker need of the Ghostbusters figures to fulfill the wait list reservations of both multi packs and single figures.

So he requested through an email to those that wait listed any of these figures to send a response to either have their wait list reservation turned into a solid preorder, or if you're no longer interested.
Timewalker needs that number today.

So check your email if you are on the wait list and respond ASAP.


Those on the wait list that have it converted to a preorder "will most likely be filled from the 2nd shipment arriving at BlueFin in Late October", also "Please note- this is not yet a guarantee- conversions will be handled on a first to respond, first to be served basis." and " those who convert will be asked to pay a 10% deposit at the time of conversion. " -fyi.

We're all entitled to our opinions. I love Eddie Murphy, but I also love Ernie Hudson.

While Winston is a minor supporting character... I really can't wrap my mind around people passing on him. I always liked his "real" perspective of the team since he would say stuff that the audience would say in regards to ghosts and just being a regular Joe.

"I've seen **** that would turn you white!" It's stuff like that that makes me appreciate him because ghosts and science are completely alien to him.

Surely it's stating the obvious to say people didn't buy the 4 pack because of Winston....given he's the one missing from the 3 pack.

Nothing wrong with that for those that want to reduce the cost a little and focus on the scene from the Sedgewick Hotel. I'm getting the 4 pack now but understand why some aren't, these things aren't cheap.

That was the funniest line in the movie!

For me it's priority, before these ship I'll only have enough to get one BW Ghostbuster, so that'll be Venkman who I'd argue was the main character of the movie. If I manage to save enough to get another, it'll be Stantz who was quite funny and I really liked his enthusiasm. I'd also get to display him with the cool looking night vision goggles. Then if I can afford another, it would be Spengler who's such a bizarre nerdy fun character. That would be the core of the Ghostbusters. Zed, who I quite like as the everyman, doesn't get introduced until 40 minutes into the movie. I would definitely buy Zeddemore if I had bought the first three, but I think everyone wants the core Ghostbusters first and then if they have the money, get Zeddemore later.

With the three pack you'd also get Slimer, which is quite the incentiv! The four pack just comes with the the stupid sign and barricade which is not high on anyone's list. Had that been reversed, making the three pack come with the sign and the four pack come with Slimer, then people probably would've spent the extra cash to get both Zeddemore and Slimer imo.

I've got the 3 pack on order because these things are expensive. If I had to make a cut it would be Winston. Not that he isn't part of the team, but it takes half the movie for him to be introduced.

OMG...someone makes a suggestion that some folks might not want 4 pack because they don't want to spend extra $200 on Winston...and we're talking about racism...another guys says he only wants to get Peter or Ray and no one says anything...people have their favorites...Don't have to cry racism over everything.

I just wish i had my horror figure's paid off. I've had the OH Crap pic look pictured in my mind with one or any of them using the scanner on jason or myers to see if ghosts lol. like beetlejuice tombstone would be perfect scanning pic. Also along with gathering my new yorkers to drop in greet them all into the collection. Chris Superman shaking hands with Egon and spidey etc..

Winston doesn't appear until about half way through the film. The opening scene with the library ghost, the Sedgewick Hotel scene, the "We're Ready to Believe You" commercial, and the Ghostbusting montage don't involve him. And he is the only member of the team who is essentially staff (not counting Janine). In that sense, I can kind of understand passing on him, and that's got nothing to do with racism. I'm sure that's why Blitzway released that as the 3 pack. But in my mind, he's as essential to the team as the other guys. The movie and team wouldn't be what they are without him. And there was no possibility that I would pass on him.

Yeah there is no version of me purchasing these figures where I do not have Winston in the crew.

I think that's maybe why Slimer is offered up in the 3 pack. I can't imagine Slimer cost a whole lot to produce. But who knows. Milk is apparently racist, so anything can be I guess.

I figured we would have to have this Winston discussion at least one more time. I bought the 4 pack because I like Winston the character and Ernie as an actor/dude. But money, space, and scene preferences are just a few reasons why race might be a non factor in other's decisions. Go pretend to be offended on the internet someplace else.

Everybody pretends to be offended by something nowadays. And that offends me.

Anyone who doesn't want Egon obviously hate those of us who wear glasses.

I think most would get all 4 an ideal world but not everyone is going to have the budget for that. If you have to cut one it makes sense to be Winston as there are several key scenes with the original three busters to still set up a complete display.

I originally ordered the 3 pack when funds were very tight and the release date was early 2017. When the date got pushed back and I sold a couple of figures I upgraded to the 4 pack.

Here was on the rooftop to fight Gozer. He's cemented his place on the team.

Yeah, when all is said and done, he is definitely an essential team member in my mind. The movie doesn't end after the montage with Larry King. I can't see skipping Slimer here, either. But to each their own. I'm a Ghostbusters superfan, so I can't judge others for not going as full out as I am.
