    Its goofy. If you don't use "Ghostbusters Ecto-1", your not going to pull it up. It can't just be Ecto-1 or even Transformers as a search. So dumb.

    Ah damn... Haha. Had my coupons ready to go and ordered. I didn't even notice the price difference. Hopefully it's a goof.

    Which was already $10 more than the original run. So that extra ghost is somehow worth $20?

    $49 was a stretch but $59? AND it's Target's infamous preorder system. So...yeah, pass. It will go on clearance by Valentines reset for sure.

    Originally it was a GameStop/pulse shared exclusive. GameStop always had it at $50, pulse sold their first batch at $40 and then bumped the price up on subsequent stock. The $40 price was a mistake on pulses part, just like initially selling centurion for $20 instead of $30

    To be fair, slight redeco of Ecto-1 with a new head, extra ghost, plus Slimer, also detailed more with new packaging (debatable since its less of a box and more of a peg hanger now), and a new comic cover. Whether that's all worth the extra $10-20 (see Fenrys post above) from there, is up to you. I'm not saying it is.

    Put in my order for Ectotron. Both versions of him.
    The new exclusive with Target and the original with BBTS.

    Can you PLEASE announce the toys BEFORE the preorders go live so I can try to budget for them? Thanks Hasbro!

    Is it bad that I want this merely for the headsculpt? LMAO I realize it\'s just his visor down and a mouthplate, but I kinda vastly prefer it over his original toy that just made him look kinda sad... It\'s also nice that they gave Slimer some more paint details!

    60$?
    No thanks
    don’t care about the comic
    kinda wanted the blue thing and the new head, but owning the original I don’t think this is worth 60$ to me

    Same here. I pre-ordered first one for $50...not going to get fooled twice. Waiting until it goes clearance or going to skip it.

    Looks cool, but I'm not a big enough Ghostbusters fan to buy this again, especially at $60.

    I really didn't like the Ectotron/CW torso mold they used, only bought it because of the novelty really.

    If I missed out on the first one, I'd be all over this I suppose.
