In November 2018, the auction site Hake's held an auction for a screen-used radio-controlled Ghost Trap prop from Ghostbusters II, which eventually sold for $71,390, a whopping $50,000 rise from the original listing price.
Less than a year later, the prop is returning as part of Propstore's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction 2019, set to take place at London's BFI on the 30th of September and 1st of October.
Like a previous auction partnership with BFI and Propstore which featured a screen-used Peter Venkman jumpsuit from Ghostbusters, the event space will be holding a free exhibition of lots from the upcoming auction, presenting fans with a rare opportunity to see them in person and gather invaluable photographic reference.
In addition to the Ghost Trap, a Ray Stantz jumpsuit appears to also be one of the lots in the upcoming auction.
The digital catelogue will become available on the 12th of September, whilst the exhibition will run from the 18th of September until the 1st of October. Check the topic for more photos of the Ghost Trap.

In what has already proven to be an interesting weekend of small tidbits leaking from the set of the new Ghostbusters adventure, from a faded advert of a familiar icon, to the name of the town, quite possibly the most exciting leak thus far (and the most obvious), was the first bit of filming featuring the distressed replica of Ecto-1, thanks to fan Wes Van Tighem and Jason Fitzsimmons at Ghostbusters News for snagging the exclusive clip.

Edit: The clip has been taken down.

It's only been just over a month since Chronicle Collectibles started promoting their range of statues based on The Real Ghostbusters, and they're pushing the range to the next level at San Diego Comic Con by revealing the next feature of the range: Ecto-1.
The price and release date for Ecto-1 are currently unknown, but if the cost of each figure is anything to go by ($149.99/£120.07), Ecto-1 could end up being close to the $200/£160.10 pricetag. Check out TOYARK's website for more photos of Chronicle Collectible's Ecto-1: LINK

It was 1990 when Universal Studios, in partnership with Columbia Pictures and Sony joined forces to bring the Ghostbusters Spooktacular to Universal's theme park in Orlando. Whilst the special effects show eventually closed in 1996, the Ghostbusters would continue to entertain guests in one fashion or another until 2005, including a battle with Beetlejuice, and a brief period in which the screen-used Ecto-1A was placed on display in the park's New York section.
14 years after the companies parted ways, the Ghostbusters will be returning to take part in Universal's annual Halloween Horror Nights this September, in the form of a haunted maze, featuring familiar locations from the Ghostbusters franchise, similar to previous offerings based on Stranger Things, The Walking Dead and Krampus.
Halloween Horror Nights begin at Universal Studios Florida on the 6th of September, and 13th of September at Universal Studios Hollywood. Visit the website for more information, and to book tickets.
