I think is very expensive for a keychain and a slimer toy (the minimes ghost mmm i dont know i dont like them), How about a real proton pack to raise some hell?? that’ll sweeten the deal for sure!!…jajja

Cheers. “‘”.

@Ryan William LeClair

This is not a gamestop exclusive, this is an amazon exclusive. As of now I do not believe GameStop has announced any collector’s edition set, and there is no listing for said CE.

Getting more details on this set I am thinking that I am probably going to go ahead & get it. I’m going to be grabbing the Wii set as it’s cheaper, and I’ve already got my preorder for the 360 version at GameStop. (Looking forward to the T-Shirt & in-game uniform from gamestop for my preorder there.)

*No – It’s not the Johnny Lightning Ecto-1A…This one’s not even die-cast – It’s plastic…

*Cheers.

No, seriously – is that the Johnny Lightning car that they’re using as the keychain? It really looks like it, yeah? I don’t have my Johnny Lightning car out here in LA otherwise I’d do a 1:1 match-up but I swear it looks just like it…

*Slimer’s sculpted by [as stated here at PC] the SFX Guru who designed and sculpted THE ORIGINAL MOVIE-USED SUIT IN GB1, Steve Johnson…If ANYONE is qualified to sculpt a Slimer collectable, it’s him…And being as though it’s TRANSLUCENT, the picture is most likely NOT doing it justice…I can pick out key details just fine myself though – I think it looks GREAT…

*And as “SlimerFan” said – He’s 10″ tall WITH a GB1 HQ sign base…Try buying a “bust” like that by itself, ESPECIALLY sculpted by the character’s visual creator, for anything under $80-$100…

*Now having said that the “exclusive mini-mates” don’t grab me as anything “spectacular”, neither do the console skins…However I’ve been trying to get the keychain for sometime now…

*And yes – I would rather have the option to buy the bust [and/or the other stuff] and game separately, and not have to spend upwards of $140 or whatever on a “limited edition”, ESPECIALLY since I’ve pre-ordered at GameStop for the second time for the PS3/PS2/ and DS versions, which will no doubt equal to be about the price of that special edition…

*But what it really comes down to is money, and the ability to spend it…If you can’t afford it – Stick to GameStop or Wal-Mart…If you can you can…

*I’m going to BARELY be able to afford it, but I like it, so me – I’m getting it…Even if it’s redundant to get two of the same game for the same platform…

*I guess I’ll just keep one copy as a collectable…

*Cheers.

Slimer is about 10″ tall on the base and he’s translucent, so you can see partly through him. He is very details down to the pimples on his butt!

I actually think the Slimer bust is pretty neat and detailed, but can’t justify it at that price. I like the Ecto-1B keychain. Hope someone posts a video of how that one lights up, etc.

Dont see how this set is so expensive. not so great

Im torn. I dont want to seem like interest is lacking, and I LOVE the IDEA of the original sculptor producing a piece for the set… but ugh the execution… I cant speak poorly on this.. I won’t. Im gonna wait for more info.

So this is the Slimer Edition of the game huh? I gotta tell you guys I think im deff good on getting this 130 dollar peice of crap. As much as I love ghostbusters as well the other people in this room I dont think it is worth it at all. I think im making out better keeping my reserve at gamestop for the free T-shirt and GB2 uniform.

Well, it looks like I’m NOT buying the special limited boosted-double-your-money-for-no-good-reason edition…

Although I’m sure the game will rock, these so-called “exclusives” are nothing short of unimpressive.

This is cool – It will be interesting to see how they present all of this good stuff in the box – I am sure it will come in some kind of nice, collectors box… The Slimer IS a little tacky – but it’s still a nice addition to our collections!

Wait, so that Slimer and Ghostbusters sign pictured above…thats the bust? It looks like a cheap plastic toy. I was thinking about something a little bigger, heavier, and detailed. At least throw in a copy of the movie on Blu-Ray to help justify the price. Only think I’m really wanting is the keychain.

I’d like to know how big that bust is.

I can’t remember the last special edition game that came with anything worth making it double the price. What makes me want this is the fact that there hasn’t been much GB stuff out there for years. I’m trying to tell my self that in the near future there will be tons, and not to waste time on this edition.

Well, there is still a lot of time to decide where to get the game.

Does it seem weird to anyone else that they want an extra 60 bucks or so for a slimer bust that (in my opinion) doesn’t look all that special…. an Ecto 1 keychain that is equally unimpressive… And minimates of 4 characters that we aren’t even even familiar wth yet?

I’m having a hard time trying to convince myself that this would be a good purchase.

Is that the Johnny Lightning car on a key ring?

By: Anthony

Anthony — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:46:25 +0000

Phew… a 130 bones eh?… I want this stuff but damn… That’s more than double the cost of the of the game…

By: Chad Paulson

Chad Paulson — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:09:09 +0000

I think you are correct Rodie. Looks like the key chain resembles the Ecto-1B as well.

By: Rodie

Rodie — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 15:40:38 +0000

It looks like they are from the game as the last one appears to be the Chef ghost as seen on the cover and in screenshots as well.
