Can you post a couple pictures for reference please?

Ill do one better.

Video doesn't work

Great News! Does the pedal "ribbon cable" look strong enough to support the pedal with breaking, or should that be reinforced as well?

It supports but its super stiff i really want to replace it with some real cable, the main problem with it is that its a plastic cast so you kind of have to bend and stretch it a bit to get it over the handle, i took the base apart for the peddle and it seems like a easy fix to replace the cable and clamps.

The video is done processing now, and works.

I just tracked mine and it left at 1:30am on 10/20 from Ontario, California just to arrive 12 hrs later in Sparks, Nevada. Wtf. I live in Anaheim, Ontario is just like 40 mins away from me. Doesn't make sense. Could of had mine by now.

Sent from my PC36100 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android

I was kind of surprised they actually cast a cable and reproduced it. It might have been cheaper to just use real cable.

There's probably going to be a run on those cable connectors now.

I think I'll get started on one of these! Thanks for the demo! What are your plate's measurements? I'm going to get the plate done tonight, and install it tomorrow just before our gig. Two hour drive starting immediately after the UPS guy arrives.

Honestly i eyed it im going to make a better one after halloween this was more of a proto type

I think someone with a cnc should cut plates out of aluminum. hint hint

what size batteries does the trap take?

I'm bad at hints!

Cool holster idea, much appreciated.

Ok ill be blunt

AJ CUT US SOME PLATES

and give one to the guy who thought of the idea....

Holy trap! They sold out already? How many were made? Like a hundred? Well, no matty, mine is on it''s way. Might even be on time for Halloween!

mine too! UPS says it's actually already here in Italy; it's waiting clearance, hence it will be here monday for sure =)

Screw UPS!!! They left my trap on the step in the pouring rain. If it wasnt for my neighbor im sure it ould have been ruined. The plain brown box it was in was all soggy.

Don't quote me as the gospel, but from reading my tracking info, I *THINK* Sparks is the warehouse where the traps were housed, or its the logistics companys main site for processing, because I ran the tracking and USPS said its in 2nd party hands at the moment, so I'm guessing they are the ones that handle warehouse to sorting facility and then USPS will take it the rest of the way.

That or Sparks NV is just where all mail sorts before being processed further for Ontario.

A few thousand.

And I got six of them, geez the boxes are big, no wonder it cost a mint for shipping.

Was the white mailer box alright at least?

Crappy thing for them to do.

It was just starting to get wet but everything was ok

Someone with a Halloween Smoke Machine should take a video of the trap opened (in movie mode), i bet it would look cool in a smokey room

Does anyones else click when it opens?

I can't believe mine hasn't made it here yet being I'm literally the next stop from sparks

Yeah it clicks when it opens and closes

And there they sit, I haven't openned one yet. Probably won't.

Anyone who has a Matty Trap please let me know if your able to turn it on with the mode switch in the up position. Mine won't, it will only turn on while on the bottom mode. Also, the cables to connect the pedal to the trap are kind of hard to get them to work. My pedal won't light up sometimes. I think I got bad :/

the traps are shipping from CA and im all the way in PA. i would guess sometime next week, probably the end of the week i would hope. mattel stuff takes forever to get to me!

Try twisting your cable 90 degrees. Did you use fresh batteries?

It can be hard to get prop mode to activate properly.
