Also the Tales from the Crypt Series and Terminator 2 line would be cool to see on shelves again as well. ✌️😎

Found this at Walmart randomly last night. Had to get the manager to do an online price match. In store it was 45, online 40. They had two and I left one. Wanna take it out of the box and compare it to my original (which held up pretty well for being well over 30 years old). Great review!

Great Video. I really do hope that the line isn't truly canceled and that Hasbro officially decides on to continue with this line. Either way I did my part to support the line by buying 3 of each item. 1 to open up for display in my collection and 2 to keep mint on card or in package. I am extremely Lucky in the fact that I have either found or received all of my Kenner classics with their packaging completely un-damaged and perfectly MINT. Lets just hope that the Fan poll Hasbro did five months ago wasn't just a waste of time for everyone and that we will officially get at least one more wave of The Real Ghostbusters figures, Ghosts, Vehicles, Role-playing items and what had to be the most voted for item the only playset that was made the firehouse headquarters. either way I am extremely happy with what we got if this is truly it. Looks lovingly over at all of my Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore, The Green Ghost Slimer, The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, The Bug-Eye Ghost, The Fearsome Flush, The Ghost-Popper and finally the Ecto-1. Yep defiantly Dammed pleased with what we have gotten so far from Hasbro/Kenner. I really do Love watching your channel so please keep up all the good work that you do.

That brings back bad memories of my parents video recording everything. Mostly my dad. It was like every event taking place on a movie set or something with a long lengthy interview that you didn't want to do. Like when I'd get in trouble at school, at home my dad would get out the video camera to record us talking about it and what my punishment was going to be. I hated the camera. Plus they would video tape sport competitions and Karate that they made me do and I wasn't good at it either. And then at home my dad would make us watch it for an entire day and do slo mo and rewind of every mistake you made or whatever to go over it with a magnifying glass. I hated it. Haha. That doesn't even count getting lashings say, for example, every time on the video in a Karate sparing competition you didn't block a kick or a punch he thought should have been blocked, etc. Torture. He'd even sometimes record Karate practice to make us rewatch what we did. You can't even imagine how much I hated the video camera.

When I pre-ordered them back in January or February, they were only $30. And when Wal-Mart was a few days late shipping it, they took another $8 off each one I got, so I only ended up paying about $22 for each one. And that movie-version Gunner seat Ecto is TERRIBLE, IMO. Super-cheaply made and looks silly. It's practically a blow-mold.
