$4,800 in 1984, not including all the repair work necessary to make it useable day-to-day, a figure Venkman balked at. And that's not including the customisation work. KP, the Ghostbusters are notoriously bad with money (at least Ray is, at any rate). That's why there are two arcade cabinets and a ...

That argument is just as valid when saying they're all the same car. Maybe it's just easier for me to believe because it's been my head cannon for decades, and because it's literally what happened IRL: the studio just bought another car. I always saw the 1A as an upgrade though. It's interior looks...

I'm afraid I don't understand how that makes things easier. For the writers of the film, it's a simple explanation that doesn't require more than a second or two of dialogue, otherwise they're stuck with a massive continuity error to hurdle. In universe, if the engine seized, or the block cracked, ...

Kid- "Didn't this car look different?"

Old Ghostbuster - "Mm the 1A. Sold her to a private collector in L.A. What was his name... sounded like a Hobbit's...? No no, THIS is the original!"

I'm confident they're not going to just erase Ghostbusters II from the new movie's timeline. I don't think they'll ignore GB2. I think they'll just make the E1 and 1A being two separate cars officially cannon. It's the easiest, most logical, way to explain it (especially if the E1 ends up still hav...

If you look at Ecto-1A the ladder isn't on the car at all. So im guessing in the 30 years that went by the boys went back to the Ecto 1 and just attached the ladder differently lol The Ecto-1A has attachment points for a ladder (at least on the rack, not the body of the car) in the same place as th...

At the risk of sounding somewhat unhinged, I hope there's an in-movie explanation as to why the ladder is on the wrong side or the car.

Out of all of the Ecto-1A pictures I've found online over the years, this is the only one that clearly shows (at least in part) the legs beneath the storage tube.

Unfortunately for me the yellow doesn't come in a 5/8" OD. I specifically designed my hose connector for a 5/8" as the 1/2" always looked a little small IMO.

They have clear though. I might try my hand at dyeing some someday.

A few years back I bought a yellow hose (specifically this one https://www.mcmaster.com/#5187k66/=sgxk8k ) to use as the leg-hose on my GB costume. For the first year or two of use, it worked great with no real problems. The next few years I noticed that it was getting tacky to the touch, but after ...

The legs on 1A's rack are taller to give the marquee signs some clearance. At a glance I'd say the legs are roughly twice the length of the E1's (maybe a tad longer). They're also reinforced, unlike the E1's.

Edit - never mind, it was already mentioned.

There was also supposed to a Rat-Fink-esq diecast from Johnny Lightening, but it's unclear if it was ever released.

Oh, and there was an Ecto-1 kids bed.

You're missing the 1:64 Fuji Film Ecto-1A diecast (based on the RGB Ecto), the "The Real Ghostbusters Play-Doh Set" Ecto-1, and the (yet to be released) Lego Dimensions Ecto-1.

God, those door logos don't read at all with both the black background missing AND the trim running through them.

Comic book page has two different links at the top with the same title ("New" Ghostbusters Monthly).

Also, out of curiosity, will you be carrying GB TMNT#3 and 4?

Scully is 5.25 inches tall, and she has a swivel neck instead of a ball joint.

The third one in the top row is the exact same figure as the one you're looking at (her clothes are removable). Yep, well spotted. She's a 2007 "Vickie Guerrero" figure... unfortunately, just like the NECA Ripley, she's 7" tall, so that doesn't help. Alex I haven't made a clothes com...

The first one in the middle row here might be almost perfect as a base figure for sculpting Dana over, but this seller doesn't have her available anymore. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTUzNVgxNjAw/z/Lx0AAOxy4dNS7Agu/$_57.JPG Alex The third one in the top row is the exact same figure as the one you're ...

* Let's be honest here, if the Danish say it that way, it's their language, so they get to choose the correct pronounciation. ;) True, but this is a world where people call Deutschland "Germany", and all medical adhesive strips "Band-Aids". God forbid you mention "pop"...

I haven't finished cataloging the entire series, but aside from the episodes mentioned here and in the wiki, the main component (minus the wand) also shows up very briefly in episodes... 046 “Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster” – Egon is tinkering with one while in Ecto-1 and 048 “Lost and Foundry?” – brie...

I wrap it around the back of my belt, just like in the movie, and then bind one side of the coiled hose together with a black Velcro cable tie (right where the hose goes behind the belt). Keeps everything in place all day long, and even if the hose shifts and the Velcro tie becomes visible it doesn'...

It ain't working for me. Everytime I try to get an ID of 3/8 it keeps giving 9/16 for OD The McMaster site has changed a bit since I made that post.

Despite how huge of a Ghostbusters fan I am, and this event taking place in my home town, I just don't see myself going. Team sports give me severe A.D.D.

Looking up Horace Mann Care Center Amazon has a preview of a book called "Employers and Child Care: Benefiting Work and Family". In it it states that the center opened in 1984 and they had 10 employers putting in $10k each into the Center for startup with one of the companies being Columb...

I live in the area, but I never really have any downtime for anything, thanks to my floating work schedule. Still, nice to see a local on the board. Welcome!!

It's shape and position suggests that it's a U.T.C. (urine transfer connector). The fandom's quite polarized over that opinion though (not that that really means anything).
