Official Ghostbusters PKE Meter Prop

yeah looks like the craziness has died down and they're still available without any wait time.

The MTV review is nice, but still nothing on how it is powered. It looks like there is a charge port on the bottom with a little LED power indicator next to it. Kind of strange for a toy to run on a chargeable battery isn't it?
 
Yep, looks like no problem getting right on and ordering now.

Much ado about nothing in the end.

Further proof past performance does not guarantee future performance.

The fear mongering wins again. The folks at SDCC said there would be plenty.

A lot of that could be attributed to that near last second exclusion of the EU... If Matty geared up for worldwide numbers and then was refused entry into the EU after committing to those numbers that could account for surplus...

The next 72 hours will be telling as most of even their slow moving products only last for 3 days or so before they sell out...
 
I managed to get one (wish I didn't waste an hour of my life and deprive myself of food during the craziness).

I wonder how well these will hold up in the long run. I just don't want to be kicking myself for not buying 2 when I had the chance.

Likely a dummy port for accuracy as the original did in fact use rechargeable batteries and had that port... It appears the bottom opens up on the Matty version for traditional batteries to be inserted, and I believe that was confirmed from people that handled the prototype at SDCC...

Thanks. Glad everyone is doing alright now. Now it is just waiting.
 
Looks like even now they're still available. Talk about a lot of craziness for nothing!

Oh well, I picked up 5 thinking that others may not be able to (particularly international). Won't list anything until I receive them though.
 
Well I just ordered and recieved confirmation of mine. I would have thought they would be well and truely sold out by now seeing as I'm ordering at 1pm PST (I live in Australia and couldn't be bothered getting up at 2am to meet the 9am PST time)
 
if these ahd gone on sale in september, with time for Halloween shipping, theyd be gone now. They just missed the boat by a couple months...

boy wouldnt it be funny if they just end up using these for the screen prop in GB3... not like it hasnt happened before with toy versions of props.

^they may have missed halloween but just in time for christmas which inmho is better..

not everyone dresses up as a ghostbuster, plus you have to look at the cost of making/buying a costume and this gadget may get pricey..

christmas is the perfect time for amazing gifts and there are millions of people that celebrate it...better opportunity

Actually last month would have been better for that as well, way to late in the game for x-mas for many... I'm sure it factors in their favor but IMO they missed the real potential X-mas season as well... As it's not unheard of for Matty's fulfillment center to take 2-3 weeks for delivery, that means literally last minute delivery unless they rush these out the door...

thats true, but not sure how much thanksgiving effects sales as well with black friday savings and cyber mondays...people saving money for other items and food...


I've got 7 coming to me so I'll be listing some for international sale eventually. :thumbsup

might want to do a list now in junkyard, a lot of other members were able to get theirs already from other members..dont want to get stuck with extras
 
This is exciting. I got two because I want to have one just as is, and the other with the speaker desoldered. The sound might just kill the enjoyment I get out of it.

..what the? My post count jumped about 400 posts. Are they counting off-topics now?

Just FYI, There is a button that mutes the sound on them, but you might know that.

There's always fleabay if you're stuck with extras, if you have more than you need you'll be able to sell them no problem I'm sure.
