I wish I knew how to make a poll. Perhaps an admin could add one?
What do people think about an official campaign to Hasbro to switch the Notebook and the MiniPuft stretch goals around:
Think about it:
1. The Pufts will be (pretty much) available to buy anywhere in "clean" form. The Stretch goal "burnt" versions are like the typical "slimed" or "marshmallow mess" etc. variants of typical GB figures. They are usually late run high ROI variants that are the lowest value retail versions of the product. They are what's left on shelves that no one wants to buy. Everybody wants the clean versions first.
2. The Notebook will actually add depth to the universe of not only *Afterlife *but also GB1 (imagine that! New GB1 universe lore in 2021). It will expand the lore of the movies. A deep dive into the mind of Egon. Esp. now that Jason has said there might not be an extended cut (take with a pinch of salt I know..)
3. And this is the most important one: The notebook is **undoubtedly **more cost effective to produce than the figures. It will be a fraction of the cost of overall production. Because the value of the asset lies purely in its creativity not the weight of the plastic making it up.
That means more money LEFT OVER to spend on the pack.
(What everyone is hoping for:
-An actual power draw connection with the wand? interactivity?
-Futureproofing the pack with a standardized line out port on the pack hose area like on the back of the Matty wand so the community can develop any arduino chip to have the pack connect to any other current or future wand/item? using just an audio jack and NO taking the pack apart and NO SOLDERING?)
-Better cyclotron lights?)
To me it's just not logical for the fan community to prefer the burnt figures to the notebook, especially considering the implications it will likely have for the pack
What do people think? A poll would be such an easy way of tallying it

Official creator of Ghostbusters canon??? How did that happen?
