Awesome!! Excited about your new build. After almost 3 years I'm getting close to a finished se rig myself. 🎉 great seeing you again!!

Farther and Son watching here (Cade) who is 5 and a huge Ghostbusters fan , especially the real Ghostbusters cartoon I bought the two in the box when it was announced and opened it with him where we have an agreement he can use it when I'm home as he's very careful with my props Your video was a huge help

Looking really good! I’m glad the gun ring made it safe and sound!

You, Sir, are a class act. We just finished watching, and my boys jumped for joy as if they were in the video. The pack looks amazing. I can't wait to see this when it's finished. We're looking forward to more updates!

Is the resin cast for the shell and wand durable? What I mean like against bumps or falls?

Amazing man! I LOVE the deep dive you’ve done with the proton spotting throughout the films Happy new year and keep on busting!

Definitely looking forward to any Mack's Factory pack and wand talk. I'm 100% vested in that project, specifically using all the Mack's parts as intended and completing the build card, but I think what will be interesting is where us builders will need to fill the gaps, obvious ones probably being the Clippard valves, ALICE frame, electronics, perhaps hatlights etc. and where to source those parts.

Are the holes in the cyclotron rings drilled larger than the other packs, or is it me?

It was disappointing when you posted the video last year saying you were going to be taking a break from the channel, and not really knowing how long. I've been back to this channel so many times for information, as im journeying through GB prop builds. Glad to see you back. Two words: Slime blower

Happy New Year! You rule! You are the Nate Bartgatze (sp?) of the community!

This is awesome news. But I would be happy if only YOU feel up to it. You've done a whole bunch for my Ghostbusters cosplay. When I got stuck on some facet of my proton pack build, I'd refer to your videos to help brainstorm or see how you overcame the problem. You've done a lot for me and Im sure you did a lot for others. But rather than new content, I'd prefer you just being happy.

Happy new year. All the best for 25. Looking forward to the new content

Its always a good day when this channel updates. Looking forward to new content!

It’s ok to age ! It’s ok to change ! Have a great 2025

This is one of my favourite reviews I’ve seen for these. 👍🏻

Great video, as always, Matt!!

I have that hoodie!

You missed a major difference on the traps. The cartridge comes out on the haslab.

Absolutely no one on Earth is going to resell this thing for the original price

All of their instructions for a while have BEEN absolutely useless trash 🗑️ hahaha

Ive sold those Halloween ones for $100 each 😅 they're not cheap hahaha

The connections for the cable is trash ass too.

The trap pedal is absolutely trash! Ass hahaha 🤣 it's not heavy and it's going to break 💔 I'm disgusted and disappointed with the pedal. And the handle on the trap is just stupidity. Flimsy and the button is too easy to accidentally open it.

Glad your happy with looking forward to see what upgrades you do to them

The PKE meter is absolutely atrocious. Who ever designed it/programmed it (I'm assuming zack spina) is seriously bad and unqualified.

Am I right in saying, in regards to the wheels - they’re meant to be bigger as that’s the way they were in afterlife, which is the film itself based on?

One issue I had was where the service button is, and how easy it is to accidentally pressing it when using handle.

Had the same concern pre battery P.KE. meter. No problem afterwards.

such a shame us in the UK have to wait longer due to shipping delay :(

I was a little worried with the Trap when I lifted it by the handle. I still am NOT confident in the longterm health of that lol. I am likely going to try and get that one smoke machine that slides into the bottom of the trap. I really wish the PKE meter was just the '84 PKE, like a lot of people, but it is what it is.

You need to flip the taser switch back in place BEFORE resetting the PKE arms. That’s why people are having a hard time putting the arms back 🤦‍♂️

A note for those having trouble with lowering the "wings" from taser mode: Make sure that the "taser" switch on the back of the handle is turned to the down/off position before trying to snap them back in place. Also, lower them one at a time and by holding the black, hinge portion, not by the silver part of the wing. Do it that way and it works like a charm.

I'm happy with MOST of this set.. the PKE is actually amazing... I'd prefer an '84 version, but the weight, the smooth motors, and the much better (though not exactly right) sounds are very well done. The trap has great build quality and weight, and better accuracy than anything mass produced yet... but it is underwhelming otherwise. The trap sequence is very 'meh'. Most sounds are too quiet, except the 'ghost trapped' beep.. which is about 3 levels higher.. so if we replace the speaker with something better, that beeping might blow the speaker. The pedal feels like cheap plastic, though I admit it's probably only because the trap itself feels so much more solid. Worse, and the only 'deal breaker' that ensures I will replace the guts if they make new innards like GPstar or whatever, is the constant 'ghost mode'. It is advertised as having a 'no ghost mode', but it doesn't. The random ghost noises are continual. Every 2 mins or so. If you trapped a ghost or not. It just keeps going off. I hate it. It feels gimmicky, and immediately broadcasts that this is just a TOY. There should be a way to turn that off, and just have a nice, gently hummign trap when, say, explaining how it works to kids. The random sounds will smother the fantasy there immediately. And the holster! No toy has been built that solid since the old steel tonka trucks that we used to ram into rocks, and walls, and each other as kids.. this thing could be used to hammer nails! All in all, I don't feel ripped off... but man, that random ghost sounds thing is infuriating.

Plesse don't take this the wrong way but you just seem so underwhelmed and not even really interested in them at all. Almost like "meh" 🤷

The only question I have is why did they have so many different packs during these shots and not have consistent usage during the shots for continuity?

Hey man, I have a Mack’s wand tip ring that I’m not using, you can have it for the cost of shipping. Let me know

Can you talk a little bit about how you handled the rubber O-rings when attaching the plastic tube? In my kit they seem way too big to fit inside the holes with the silver screws in place. On my first attempt at attaching them, I ended up slicing two of the rings in the process. I assume the O-rings are meant to be shock absorbers and help reduce the play between the plastic and aluminum tubes, but I can't make sense of how they're supposed to interface with each other.

You’re detail is insane, unreal research, also crazy that the prototype had the neutron wand light being different and only 1 had the yellow lights move

We do miss you, Matt - but it's understandable. We all need a break sometimes, no matter what the reason may be. Hopefully when the Two in the Box ships (soon, hopefully) we will be looking forward to your reviews and opinions. Take care and we will see you, when we see you.

The older straps have 1 snap on a strap"lc-1". There's one snap button on each shoulder strap"lc-2". It took a while for me to realize, first the black double prong neatly fits the snap button. Next step keep the snap button and prong together as you slide them under the black metal bar. last step, the black double prong and the snap gently and neatly slides under the bar ready to be connected. I figured this out somewhere in the late eighties, so whenever I see the snap button connected over the black bar I chuckle a bit.

Maybe my favourite song of the series! And you forgot the egon thumbs up dance ;)

There will be lulls in GB content and you do everyone a service by providing your insight and reviews of the content available. New subscribers here I just got my spirit life size and am so excited to start the mods beginning with the Alice frame and battery upgrade! Then wand complete revamp… then rumble pack…then cyclotron changes… then … then … then…

I’m just getting to your channel keep doing what you love we all appreciate it!

How would you get the LED inside? Is that possible?

Really happy to see this. I got the same Lc-1 as you and I was worried about the pack if I wore it when all of the brackets weren’t in use. Seeing this shows it’s fine to use like that. That’ll save my shoulders a lot of grief

What's the name of the battery ?

does your wand fully power up?

How far in is the set screw supposed to go to prevent the front handle from twisting? I apparently over tightened it and it bent the pipe inwards.

We missed you, Matt!

Hey Mat I love your channel. I especially loved your videos of proton pack detective! I was hoping you could re do the 84 packs now we have blu ray, HDR technology to see the details you can see on the packs. Please do a updated video on the proton packs. Thanks!!
