Well I've just ordered a set of 4 for $79.99 so it looks as though they will be around the $20 mark. With shipping it came to $124.99 (express delivery) which is £79! I'm pleased with that as they are going to be £24.99 each in UK stores so I saved over £20….assuming customs leave it alone!

Not sure. The original date said January 2011. But some places are starting to get them, though I haven't heard of any showing up at TRU yet.

Can't wait for my cases to get here!

These figures are so awesome in person… love them. Seriously.

I was worried at first when the cases got here, cuz they looked too small to have all 16 figures that would be in two cases, but they're packed in really tight.

Here's some pictures of the day…

















If anyone wants close-ups of anything let me know.

I still have one extra Venkman left for sale too, in my Sale thread… $22 + PayPal and shipping.

Wow, they really do look great! Can't wait to get these. Some close up pics of the pack and wand/gun would be great. Infact, just any of the accessories if you have the time please Doc.

Entertainment Earth has cases for $170 each. I bought 2 cases because I collect 2 of each figure, and there's only 1 Winston per case.

I wish that Mattel had reused the tan jumpsuit from Citizen Ghost Peter for Ray. The jumpsuit Ray has looks too bright for me. Also I wish that Peter had another pack item besides his proton pack. I mean Egon gets the PKE Meter, Winston gets a Ghost trap and Ray gets the sniffer, so shouldent Peter have a mini Slimer figure ?

Also I am a little surprised that Ray's pack in item is not a pair of Ecto goggles. I remember over the 140 episodes of RGB, the animators always tried to have Ray wear them every now and again.
