I just want the 5POA action figures. They're finally doing certain characters from the original film that have been consistently overlooked by every action figure license holder. I think only Kubrick ever produced some of them before. As for 1:1 scale TRON prop replicas, my collection begins...

I finally got one of the elusive variants of this item... Alex

New acquisition thanks to Joseph Gallina... Alex

Thanks! Here are my 'best guesses' for what the rest seem to say, even though some of it is pure gibberish. The only one I'm really confident about is the "PR-RHI" part. Alex

Hey everyone, would appreciate some independent verification of what I think I'm seeing. What does this text on the spine of this book say? Alex

The more recent pages of this thread contain better pics and/or links to YouTube videos on the topics, which seem to be more reliable than the photo links. I made a pass at updating old links, but it didn't last very long until those too died. You'll have better luck if you start at the end...

Actually, I've been known to do that very thing at work. Once when I was very young and full of beans, I couldn't find a manager. I lamented how they were never around when you needed one, but would somehow always appear if you broke the most minor infraction, so I deliberately broke one of...

Been a while since I've sourced any props for my collection. This one's not the right color, but I've had it in my eBay saved searches for 4-and-a-half YEARS and this is the first one I've seen pop up, so I nabbed it anyway. Janine has one of these on her desk in the first film, but hers is...

Back in February, I bought a bullhorn from the 80s just because it was the same model used by Ivan Reitman (and Bill Murray) during the shooting of Ghostbusters II. At the time, my wife made the typical comment of "What are you going to do with a bullhorn?" Well, when my youngest son...

It took a while to find this "screen-accurate" item in a size that would fit! My new arrival: Reference image of Bill Bryan wearing an identical shirt in behind-the-scenes footage (taken from the Get Slimed DVD). Alex

I came here specifically to mention seeing that in the reunion trailer as well. Alex

One of the harder-to-source pieces for the Ghost Trap has begun showing up on a couple of websites for a great price. We're not sure if they're old stock or if Linrose has begun manufacturing them again. I had some difficulty ordering from one of the sites, but another collector kindly...

I have to say it's refreshing to see a YouTuber who grasps the power of editing and pacing. So often lately I find myself toggling the speed settings on YT vids to 1.5x... that trick never once occurred to me in this information-dense and funny/clever presentation. Alex

For my ever-growing Ghostbusters hardhat collection, I bought another authentic Con Ed from eBay. It's the one the right. Notice that there are two different molds here. The new one has the slots on the sides, the other does not. (I think the movie costume had slots.) Here they are...
