Haslab Ghost Trap & PKE Meter

[Kylash]

Oof, Mattel did a much better job at hiding the battery compartment on the PKE. This solution is no better than the Spirit or toy PKE. But i suppose the taser switch cover would make it hard to have the whoe back half of the shell remove like the Matty one.

The EMF detection is really impressive for a toy though. Hopefully they can get it to display in levels with the wing height.

The working EMF is the reason I backed this... sure I wanted the toys... but a working EMF, I have to have that!!!

I am so happy we are finally getting accurate sounds in a PKE meter.

The battery box is unfortunate but I do trust the community to fix that. Most likely some rechargable mod that has you fill it in.

How accurate are the sounds? The sound quality on the video through my phone on headphones is all over the place so no idea if they or the trap sounds are correct or not.
HasLab completely crapped the bed with the sounds on the Aliens Pulse rifle so fingers crossed they do a better job here.

 

[benhs1898]

For the pke, pretty accurate. Way more accurate than just beeping on the Matty or Spirit versions.

Anyone else think we would have gotten a ship date before October started? They got to know most people were hoping to actually carry these.

 

[Astyanax]

I was coming here to ask the same question. Sounds like we shouldn't hold our breath.

 

[DaveDW]

I'm pretty sure they said it was very unlikely before halloween, might have been from chats people had with the Haslab team at the various 'cons they showed up to, or even Ghostbusters day, remember hearing / reading about that either way.

 

[Kylash]

Theres some Haslab reveal coming in October that they will probably update this on.

Wonder what the port strike will do to this?

 

[Gil_JediXXL]

Nothing. Port strike has ended.

HasLab development team dispels rumors on upcoming Ghostbusters campaign, updates on ‘Two in the Box’

By the end of the year they say.

Heard from Haslab that the issues with the PKE pushed the production back. Add that in with the time the factories are trying to produce items for the holiday season and it just got pushed back. Before Christmas, no other guarantees.

I got a notification from Haslab that they are preparing to ship and asking everyone to double-check their shipping addresses prior to November 18. So it sounds like they're shipping just before Thanksgiving!

Did anyone else already pick up the wire loom to cover the cable?

 

[Getoninja]

Tested have the PKE and Ghost Trap in hand

And I have received 3 emails from Haslab to make sure my shipping address is correct before Nov 18
So, we should see these in hand by the end of November and I can't wait.

 

[Kylash]

Aw they forgot to show the EMF detector. Looks amazing all around though.

I'm going no loom since GB1 and Afterlife don't have it.

Is there a hidden functionality in the trap that has not been mentioned by Hasbro or reviewed by anyone?

The reason I think that is because of the weird component opposite the yellow LED on the bar graph.

It's a very shiny hemisphere. It looks like some sort of IR infrared receiver? Like the crossing the streams functionality on the old Matty wands. I may be imagining things but that part looks quite specific and not like a normal molded plastic part. I believe it's also not on any of the screen used traps (GB1, GB2, AF, don't know about FE)

What do you all think?
