Haslab Projects General Discussion

So are we supposed to believe that Egon stripped it back to it's original flavour at some point, or did the Reitmans forget and/or do a "nostalgia wash" on it?

Anyway, that's my thinking right now as to why I *shouldn't* want a second Haslab Ecto-1 to display in GB2 mode. God forbid being ridiculously expensive would be enough of a reason...

I think the safest explanation is that they didn't care enough to check, or probably wanted a certain look for it in the movie.

In universe it is very easy to think that Egon would be just as likely, as not, to strip it back down for parts and other projects. Especially if he wasn't actually going out in it anymore.

So the "current" final total, with the obvious changes to come in the next few days, is:

15,698 / 12,000 (+2,344) 130.82% of funding goal with 0d left.

Couple of end of funding points:

1- This is the lowest funding total for a Ghotsbusters Haslab to date. 3,364 less than the Proton Pack and 8,663 less than the Trap/PKE.

2- This appears to be the 5th lowest Haslab that funded (in total number of backers). Now that is based on action figure brand Haslabs that count individual backers and not including the games Haslabs. The Khetanna is the lowest funded Haslab. I can't remember where I saw the number but it was less than 9,000 backers. Unicron was somewhere in the 10,000-12,000 range I believe (again I can't find the exact number but it is somewhere). Giant-Man was 13,889 and Mos Eisley Cantina was 14,737.

So not gangbusters compared to other GB Haslabs, and Haslabs in general, but it funded so who cares!!! Congrats to the GB team and everyone who backed on a successful project. Now we wait.

Now says 15,177.* * Definitely wild swings as it tries to charge everyone's cards.* *I just got charge in the last 30 minutes.* Give it another day or two to see where it settles.
