So you're saying you've seen loads of them in stock, is that it? Yeah... probably not in Canada. For whatever reason these things came to Canada for like a week, maybe two tops back in 2020 and I haven't seen anything since. I was amazed I saw Winston on the shelves honestly, I think the scalpers went nuts for these things because they could put them up as 'Original' figures MOSC and get a huge return on investment. As far as for why he's unpopular, you got me, the dude is pretty awesome and I've always loved all four of the characters. Not sure why Winston of all people just likes to shelf warm, then again he seems to be short packed more often. Whenever I see the Playmobile guys on the shelf, even at Dollarama I never find Winston. It's like he's always sold out.
Yep, WalMarts in this state have at least one of each character now on the regular. As for Winston, yeah, he always seems to be the last man hanging on the pegs. Suppose it happens when you're the straight man in a comedy.
Not around here. Winston is always gone. Ray and Peter are the ones hanging around. Winston probably sells well because he has the proton stream people need for their others GB figures.
I’m selling two 90’s Ghostbusters Plasma Blaster on eBay! Make an offer or send me a dm price is negotiable!

*cue that YES! meme* This was all I was hoping for with the retro Ghostbusters line. For them to also release the Ecto-1!!! I am so happy right now! I have so many memories of playing with my Ghostbusters figures and Ecto-1 when I was an overly hyperactive kid in the late 80's. Also that I got the Ecto-1 for my birthday, I remember being so excited for my birthday, I couldn't sleep most of the night before, waiting in my room around 4 in the morning for my Dad to go to work and see if my birthday present was waiting for me on the kitchen table, and to see the Ecto-1 there.
I kinda wanna get the Ecto-1... but then I already have... -counts- NINE Ecto-1 (some are 1A and one is my actual car) vehicles... and if I get THIS one, I'll HAVE to get the GBs to go along with it... which means I'll have to print out new proton packs with removable streams so I can easily pack everything into THIS Ecto-1... then get Ecto-2 for the stray figure that can't fit in the Kenner Ecto-1... and at THAT point, I'll have to hunt down a firehouse... Collecting is a bottomless rabbit hole... What I really want them to release is the role play ghost trap
I'm with you there. I cant stand walmart and hate that if I want something fun, I have to go there. I still have my original ecto-1, though its missing some pieces. I really enjoyed this line, but what was the best was the role playing toys; ghost trap, proton pack, that light gun thing.
First one I could find... ... of my FIRST Magnum that I installed a police issue push bar on the front. I had a ton of set backs, the most notable being the engine basically disintegrating on me a year ago. The NEW Magnum is a model up and in much better physical and mechanical condition. There's a partial roof rack that's been in storage since before the pandemic and in progress images are stuck on a laptop that I don't have access too. It's a bit more low profile that others that are out in the world for two reasons: 1) it folds and shifts for easier storage 2) wind resistance is a thing and I don't want what's basically a costume for my car to utterly kill my gas mileage. I'm using amber light bars since using blue in the tristate area is.... well, let's say it's frowned upon. I really need to get around to installing a new push bar on the new car
Haha. Awesome. Needs one of those scrolling LED signs on the roof and some scuba tanks and stuff. Lol.
