Hasbro Ghostbusters

[K1LLJOY]

I'm only in this for the Ectos, so couldn't care less what figures we might get with it.

Sell the figures to recoup some of the cost.

I think it’s a very cool rendition of the Ecto-1.
The only issue is why they over exaggerated the low part of the rear car. It completely ruins the back of the car IMO.

I think it’s due to the fact that the car is supposed to convert in 1A version.

The Blitzway and even their recent 1894 1/18 plasma car doesn’t have this issue.

I’m in it to get the Ghostbusters 2 look because we don’t have any Ecto-1a vehicles or collectibles that I can think of….

 

[davejames]

Hmm I never noticed the rear of the Blitzway extended out so far. Looks like the Hasbro is a bit more accurate in that department at least.

It's over halfway now, 6,197 of 12,000.

 

[K1LLJOY]

8,169 of 12,000 backers as of now.

I'm not sure we're gonna hit 12,000 by Nov 2nd to get Tully.

Will the Tully figure eventually get a released in the future (if the project does not reach 12,000 by Sat)?

Not sure what has happened in the past Haslabs or similar crowdfunded projects when the early bird or stretch goals are not met.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I think they were overly optimistic to think they'd hit 12,000 in two weeks.

They've said in the past they will not, but who knows for sure.

Didn’t one of the stretch goal figures from the failed Ghost Rider Haslab car eventually get repurposed?

Maybe Golbin Queen or Mephisto for a different figure? Maybe I’m misremembering.

hard to keep track of anymore, so many crowdfunded projects - I backed the Jurassic Park gates from Mattel but that failed too.

Goblin Queen and Hellstrom were both released later but in different outfits, not the same as the Haslab ones.

This is disappointing that we’d be missing out on a figure just because they couldn’t hit a certain number by a certain time. They certainly can reach 12k by their entire run too.

Best idea is to mass cancel and see their response, lol. Bad PR could possibly make them change their minds right? Probably not.

 

[davejames]

I just don't see the point. People would be just as motivated to order whether they got Tully after 2 weeks or 6. And now Hasbro is just going to end up annoying everybody and making the final release feel a bit less fun.

 

[Stanlore]

They should have made the Louis figure a stretch goal instead of an Early Bird goal. Oh well....

 

[K1LLJOY]

 

[Cryoguns]

Well, thankfully it looks like Hasbro decided to make Tulley a part of both packages for backers, which means everyone will get him whether backing the Ecto-1 or 1A. With the current pace, I have no concerns that it won't meet the 12k backers within 32 days, considering they're already over 8350 as of now.

 

[cdx008]

That’s good news!

 

[sabin23]

I wonder why they decided not to do tiers for this Haslab.

Although, some of their past tier rewards are lame - i think it was a patch for the ghost trap.

 

[davejames]

Hmm the pace really seems to have slowed down on this. 25 days to go and it's still struggling to get over 9000.

I feel like they might have maxed out on the number of people interested in this.

Probably will be a surge near the end but it is concerning that it has slowed down to a crawl.

having some good tiered incentives probably would have helped. But I hate it when the crowdfund does not unlock all the goals,l.
