That's too bad. Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard Ghostbuster fan and to say the least I was extremely disappointed when I heard the direction they were going in, but I'm not going to knock it too hard until I actually see the movie.

And regardless off how terrible the movie may or may not be, it's hard for me not to get excited seeing new Ghostbuster product in stores. The packaging looks pretty cool and brings back so many childhood memories.

Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard Ghostbuster fan and to say the least I was extremely disappointed when I heard the direction they were going in, but I'm not going to knock it too hard until I actually see the movie. To be fair, they were just referring to the trailer...which WAS really bad. I would have only been mildly disappointed personally just with the fact that they seem to me remaking the first movie with four women instead of four men...but they didn't even do it in an interesting way. A trailer is supposed to hook you, and this one made me go "meh". There was a fan cut trailer that came out a few days later that actually made the movie look "not too bad".

Not DST related, but I saw the four Mattel original Ghostbusters at Walmart. They each come with a CnC piece of the ghostbuster symbol.

My haul from Sunday. Even though I already have them, I'd like to find the original 4 as well. I'm trying to be open minded but I'm a tad disappointed about the franchise reboot as well, but I love GB and love buying figures! I guess Kristen Wigg is really depressed about the backlash the movie is getting so far. It's nice to hear she cares about her craft. I will be seeing it with an open mind like I said. I can say both movies word for word from beginning to end but I refuse to act like a baby like some of these people.

Just came here to post that: Looks like straight rereleases of the mattycollector.com figures so I passed. Also have classic mini figures. Bought all of them plus the 6in Stay Puft, will post pics when I get home from work.

Here are my pick ups for the last two days: Bought a full case of the classic mystery Ecto Minis. Got pretty lucky and was able to get everyone with only three doubles and was able to return the last 9 unopened packs. Also, why the hell is Stay Puft being called the ballon man and not marshmallow man??

There's a version that says "marshmallow man" on the package as well. Apparently there's a scene in the movie where he is a balloon in the parade. At least that is what I heard.

I lucked out tonight at TRU and snagged the DST Peter and Egon to complete my set. I walked into the area where they had stocked the Ghostbusters figures and saw Dana sitting on one of the shelves instead of hanging on a peg and got excited. I moved her and found Peter, but no Egon. Urgh. Knowing how hard these things have been to find at TRU, I was bummed. I was just about to leave when I noticed a box shoved behind some other stuff and I pulled it out and it was Egon! So, now I'm good to go! but I love GB and love buying figures! Totally agreed. I may not be keen on the reboot, but it's very cool to see Ghostbusters figures at retail again!! Not DST related, but I saw the four Mattel original Ghostbusters at Walmart. They each come with a CnC piece of the ghostbuster symbol. Just came here to post that: Looks like straight rereleases of the mattycollector.com figures so I passed. Also have classic mini figures. Bought all of them plus the 6in Stay Puft, will post pics when I get home from work. You guys beat me to it. I don't want the Mattel figures (since I'm happy with the DST set), but I'm happy that Mattel is giving the classic stuff a chance at retail. I like that Stay Puft. I might get him too!

I picked up the light up Rowan for 9.99 in TRU, They are jacking them up to 13.99 though as thats what they scanned but shelf labels are 9.99. For 10.00 It's worth it any higher not at all. There in the WWE and DC aisle looks like there doing an all Mattel aisle.

Will an ecto-1 be released to go with the 6 inch movie figures?

They share a wall with the WWE figures at my local TRU and have more shelf/peg space allocated for them.
