Previews (Is Ghostbusters in it?)

Just got the June issue of Previews (for those that don't know, it's the book that stores order comics, statues, action figs, etc. from), but I can't find Ghostbusters in it anywhere. It has a lot of fall merchandise in it though, so maybe it's in there somewhere among it's 500+ pages. I seriously hope that it's in either this issue or the next, as August or September would be cutting it a little close. Get the hype going now guys! I couldn't find ANY 88MPH Studios stuff in there!

Try looking for Transformers, maybe next to that there will at least be a blurb. The guys that do “Preview” need to have material to print and my guess is 88 didn't have much?…Dunno..but like I said, maybe it'll say something like “And also be on the lookout, blah blah blah.”

It'll probly be in next months or the month after. Remember, they only list comics that come out 2 months later.

I have found lots of Transformers stuff, but nothing on Transformers:Genesis (88MPH Studios' book). 88MPH isn't listed in the supplier index either.

I haven't given up hope though. I was given a boost this morning hen I found something on page 435:

Johnny Lightning: Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Die-Cast
Johnny Lightning presents another famous movie cars - the Ecto-1 modified ambulance from Ghostbusters - expertly captured as a 1:64 scale miniature! Blister card packaging. Scheduled to ship in September 2003. (6243/362-25)(CAUT: 3 & 4) NOTE: Not available outside North America and Puerto Rico.
Die-Cast………………….$4.99

That's the EXACT article, spelling mistakes and all. Oh, and it has a picture of a nearly-completed Polar Lights model above it with the caption “Not Actual Art”.




EDIT:: I just visited 88MPH Studios' website and took a look at some of the fine print. Turns out Image Comics published their Transformers:Genesis book. Now this gives us something to go on when searching through the behemoth that is Previews. Hopefully, Ghostbusters will also be published by Image.

Just checked the index for Image Comics. They do not have Transformers:Genesis listed. However, they do have G.I. Joe vs. Transformers listed. Not 88MPH Studios, but what child of the '80s could resist that!?

my local sources say that 9 times out of 10 you'll hear “fall release” and it'll mean late fall =\ Unfortunitely, nobody can say “yes it'll be out by Oct 2” or something, but, it *should* be in August Previews, so look for it then, and since they've got the contract they're under liability to at least produce SOMETHING Ghostbusters, otherwise they've breeched contract and get Sony's Lawyers sniffing at their doors

That does raise an important question. Wheres all the 88mph stuff?? Is this a new business or somethin?? Cause I looked in all my Wizard magazines and couldnt find ANYTHING related to 88mph studios.

What makes these “Previews” People think they can get away with insulting the intellegence of us Ghostheads?

I'm guessing it'll come out around Hallowe'en.

I'm thinking they're a sub-siduary of another company, cause I've never seen anything from them in my life, but I could be wrong, they could be a group of college kids doing the artwork

but yeah maybe a halloween release would make sense considering the nature of the business
