I go this in my e-mail box today:

“Hello,

We're contacting you about your order for the Ghostbusters Slimer Edition video game bundle #*****. We wanted to let you know that the items included in the bundle have changed, and as a result, the price of the bundle has been lowered.

Unfortunately, we recently learned the Minimates we expected to offer in this bundle aren't available. We're sorry for any disappointment this causes. To help make up for this change, we've lowered the price of this bundle from $129.99 to $109.99.

This change won't impact our ability to fill your order–the release date is still June 16, and we expect to fulfill your order on time.

Again, we're very sorry for any disappointment this causes. We hope to see you again soon at Amazon.com.

Sincerely,

Customer Service
Amazon.com

Well that just sucks.

Honestly, I didn't buy it, but the fact that they're giving you $20 back for a 4-pack of pretty mediocre Minimates that didn't even include any major ghosts or the guys, is pretty good.

The fact that that's how much of the cost was attributed to that, is kind of disturbing though.

That means that the Gamer Grapphix, Slimer statue, and Ecto-1 keychain account for an extra $50. The grapphix are probably about $20, and the keychain should be no more than $5, so that means about $25 for the Slimer statue, which seems about right.

But considering the boxset of Minimates that has Egon, Peter, Dana, and Louis is only like $16… charging $20 for 4 ghosts that appear in the video game seems a bit much to me.

Indeed, it´s not a tragedy, I pre-order the Slimer edition specially for the Slimer statue. "0 bucks less it´s a good deal to me.

I posted it on the board but I didn't buy it, didn't feel like paying that much. The statue will be on ebay.
