Started a forum topic: The Florence Ghostbusters' Containment Unit (VERY PIC-HEAVY!)
I added an ECU to our Ghostbusters Tribute Room a while back. I used a lot of the ideas I found on these boards and added some of my own as well. I tried to take pics of everything. The red light activates when a cartridge is inserted and switches to red with the lever. That’s about the extent of my…

It’s been a hot minute since I posted, so bear with me. When my wife and I moved into our current home back in 2021, there was a storage room in the basement that could only be accessed from the downstairs garage. I immediately saw the potential. Besides, I needed a place to store all my collectible…

So, I was carrying my packs from the Ecto back to my GB room, one secured on my back and one (my Haslab pack) one-strapping on my left shoulder. I was walking down my carport, when the quick-release gave way and BAM. Haslab hits the concrete. I got it inside and assessed the damage. The threaded co…

Started a forum topic: For trade: 12" GB2 2-pack (Egon and Winston)
Seller info: Brandon Balentine Florence, AL, USA I picked up a couple extra 2-packs from my local Big Lots, not to scalp, but to help me beef up my Matty collection. These 2-packs are mint-in-box with all accessories. The only things missing are the white mailer boxes. I’ll pay shipping if you’ll…

So, I’ve signed up to run the first 5K of my life at the end of this month. I used to be an athlete, but I’ve been pretty lethargic for the last 3-4 years. I’ve been running some lately with my wife to try to lose some weight and get back in shape, and that was my inspiration. Anyway, the 5K is bei…

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I have a question about the 8.5’ inflatable Stay Puft. I got one for Christmas, and mine looks a little different from alot of the pics I see online. The fingers on mine are sectioned and the face doesn’t have the inflatable features on it. Anybody ha…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Public Service Announcement: DON'T CUT YOUR GRASS
Recently I had the Ecto out of storage and at my home in order to get it cleaned up for the Halloween season. Long story short, I was cutting the grass and slung a rock through the rear passenger side window of the car. I wanted to throw up. I’ve only been a home owner for about 10 months, and I don…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Question about gasoline...
I have been running regular-grade gas in my Ecto, and I have been getting a significant ammount of after-fire and it has even back-fired a few times. Now, because of a massive back-fire the other day, I have to replace my exhaust pipe and muffler. I have very little experience with cars this old (19…

Here’s what my mother-in-law has cooked up for their golden for the UNA Homecoming parade. She still has to make the boots. I have been assigned the task of making a miniature proton pack. I’m thinking cardboard. [image] [image] She said she got the idea from a costume she found by searching goog…

Started a forum topic: Lightbars accuracy?
I am having a difficult time obtaining some light bars. I have searched all over my local area to no avail. I have, however, found some Code 3 MX700’s on ebay that appear to be a pretty good deal. They have clear domes, but I could replace them with blue lenses or just tint them blue. My question is…
