During, Toy Anxiety's stream with Emily and Pat, they did offer some bits about Two in the Box.

-Two in the Box, just hit sample warehouses. Waiting for 22,000 to show up in Chino warehouse before they ship out to backers. Imminent.

-there are hidden sounds in the Two in the Box! trap

That reminds of the one time on RGB in "Doctor, Doctor" when Ray looked at the trap holding ghost and noticed the class level dropped one level then Egon comes with his P.K.E. Meter and confirms. heh.

Agree, gotta be some kind of hidden interaction. Why else would they go 'off-model' and put another piece on the plate.

Once we get a real look at the EMF mode I'm hoping it works like a K2 meter where the green light increases and decreases depending on the level of voltage. It didn't dawn on me to ask those questions a few months ago. Maybe someone will come up with a kit that's easy to install to mod the PKE meter.

Someone brought that question up in the reddit forum awhile ago and I'm fairly certain the wings and sounds will activate with the EMF function. I wish we would have been shown it's functionality.

ADAM SAVAGE, WHYYYYY?!!! :blush:

Who knows, we still might get one some time after the 11th and before we start seeing these things hit our doorstep...

Maybe i'm just being paranoid now. I've been waiting for this a year!
1. Are you US or overseas?

2. I forget if there's a guest check out or not. You have a Hasbro Pulse account, right?

3. Not in the spam folder?

If you're US, have an account, and no emails from them were flagged by spam by mistake, maybe log in and double check with customer service that everything's ok.
#5001447
Hasbro is reliable when it comes to shipping their products, but yeah. Check your spam, and if you have a pulse account you can always start a support ticket. Were all on the edge of our seats waiting for any shipping updates. The lack of updates is what's the annoying part here. Telling us shipping is imminent isn't the same as "oh hey, it's it's such and such a date. I would have preferred to have these a month ago but it is what it is. Annoying? Yes. Yes it is.

i do have an account and a receipt on that account of it saying order unfilled and my proper address. I checked my spam folders as well. Nothing from them. I am in the US as well and i have placed orders from them in the past. In fact earlier this year i ordered a set of Kenner Classic Fright Feature The Real Ghostbusters from them and they are now on my wall carded and another set open sitting next to an Ecto 1.

Im just anxious i guess. Ive wanted this trap for a year and this was my first Haslab backing as at the time of the Proton Pack pre order all my money was tied up in a trip i couldent go on and i missed that backing and ended up having to get my Haslab proton pack via big bad toy store in 2023 for an inflated price.

Im also anxious about getting both the basic and deluxe versions of the Ecto 1/1A. I have money put aside for that, but as of right now its only at 9200 or so out of 1200 needed to back it and i hope it clears and they take the money out of the account on December 2nd, but it sucks ill have to wait a year for it, and i dont know for sure if this will clear the amount needed.

Its just weird how hasbro does things. Like i think they should have been able to ship orders on the 2 in the box to backers before even anouncing another campaign cause to me and my OCD mind, you should forfil one order before asking people to back another!

Also why anounce these things at the holiday season when everyones money is likely tied up in holiday shopping and expenses?

Granted they announce products all year round for different brands, but ideally for ghostbusters, woulden't it be smarter to do it on Ghostbusters Day in June, hold the campaign over the summer and then a year later if it goes though you get your item on the anniversary of the film and then they anounce the next years campaign? That makes more sense to me cause doing any campaign at the end of the year without even getting the item for another year, your money is tied up with gifts and expensives for the holidays..it just seems weird timing to me!

It's the holiday season, perfect time for doing these things. While I had the money for the last two backings they were purchased for me as gifts and that's largely what's driving the majority of the backers. Well to do parents, or loved ones buying for the fanatic ghost head in their family, scalpers looking to make a quick buck etc...Don't worry this project will get funded. We might not get an extended tier reward but I'm confident that this will get backed.

I sincerly hope it does get funded. Id love to build 2 shelves on my wall one for each Ecto, and have a nice backdrop of New York City behind them. Gives me about a year to find the right space and photos for the backdrop. but right now its only in the low 900s with 2500 plus more to go. I dont really do crowdfunding so i dont know if there is an uptick at the last minuet or not.

I think by the time i backed the two in the box set last year, it had allready passed the funds needed! I just want it to arive ASAP lol so i have something to show for the money i spent. Thats the thing about modern day collecting that drives me up a wall.

When i was a kid, you diden't even know something existed unless you seen it in a store, on TV or at a friends house, maybe in a catalog, and you went out to the store, bought it and owned it right then and there.

Today everything is either pre ordering or now crowdsourcing. I just also purchased the Mono Venkman with Samhain and i got to wait until MAY before it arrives! Ugh. im not a patent man lol. I try to be but i got to plan out getting collectables months in advance to see if i can even afford them, then i got to wait months to a year to get them. Its more fun then fustrating but the worse part of it is, if you dont buy it from Hasbro or Mondo directly at the limited time its avalable, you pay double if not more from 3rd party resellers.

I think i paid 600 plus for my Haslab proton pack (which was decent considering resellers were charging 800 to a grand) but had i known my trip would be canceled, i would have backed 2 of them at the time!

But all my rambling aside i hope the trap and pke meeter arrive before thanksgiving!

Remember that Matty Trap replacement uber accurate, new fangled perfect Ghost trap (and PKE) that was announced a year ago by Haslab? Remember that announcement?

The one we were amazed at and backed?

It's going to arrive in a few weeks.

I'm beyond excited.

I loved the mysterious Matty trap as the holy grail of GB equipment for a decade (still do), but the torch is being passed.

Only weeks left!
