"You can't do that, we build our own stuff!", "Officially licenced gear will undermine our hard work" etcI'll wait and see. I prefer to build my own, however I do use the Matty pkes.
My, how times change.
Rodimus wrote:Oh without a doubt. The Matty PKE was a godsend. Fully functional at only $60, compared to the kind of prices it used to cost to build one? Not to mention it's pretty hard-wearing...mine is scuffed in places and I dropped it many times but it's still working like new. I've never had to replace it with the backup I still have boxed. Not that I'll need to use either now I've hung up my gear, but I'll hang onto the stuff for my potential kids
I'll wait and see. I prefer to build my own, however I do use the Matty pkes.
Dr_Rob_Cassidy wrote:the first people out of the gate complaining about it were those charging exorbitant amounts for PKE electronics...that was delicious to watchSpeaking as someone who also isn't that knowledgeable about electronics, it can be quite easy to rule a kit maker's kit is exorbitantly priced when I don't actually know anything about what goes into making one.

Subject to change" are clearly of a full hero Aluminum thrower, with metal knobs, metal heatsink , dry rub decals, real hat lights real clippard, bargraph bezel, accurate screws.....Obviously a top of the line fan made replica......I seem to remember reading somewhere that the pack in the photos was in fact a fan-made replica.

Lowberg wrote:Why are they using pictures of venkman71's hero pack to advertise what seems to be a plastic and resin kit?Maybe Venkman71 built the prototypes they're using.

venkman71 wrote:In fairness,....I had amazing help from a small team of dedicated nerds. I pulled every string and begged every favor I could to get the best of materials for the builds. As far as what the final product is, that's in God's hands, I guess and I'm sure there's a host of hidden speed bumps in bringing the final product to fruition that involve things like math and schedules and economics and a host of other things that are way above my pay grade and make my tiny brain cramp up but I can tell you this,....I've been building packs since 1989 and I can say,...."I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created, "something that catches Ghosts." And in that purpose, I was a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to we nerds. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest pack. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be neutranized."
Pardon the Kill Bill paraphrase but seriously, I'm glad I had 27 years, (that's funny. One year short from the Hanzo quote), to practice because I know I gave them my best work.
STILL working, actually. I hope the finished product makes people happy.

Im PISSED because I just bought everything I needed to make my own elsewhere and at a much larger price. Oh well, at least I have lights and sound. Plus this has been fun searching for what I needed and it will be fun throwing it together and saying "I found everything on my own and built it myself"well.. except for the recently acquired Matty Neutrino Wand.
