I'm surprised more people aren't discussing the other unlocks.

The notebook might be cool but no really gonna miss it if we don't get it.Chairman Kaga wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 11:23 am I'm surprised more people aren't discussing the other unlocks.Just checked the site.

Also, I know all these extras are free, but Egon's notebook is only 16 pages? Where's my in-universe tome of details?

ONE MORE WEEK and I could've justified it, lol. Alas, that's like at least two major deals or products I want that won't be ready. If they still offer the extras like the hose included after the pre-order, I'll definitely pick one up later.

Just FYI.zeta otaku wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 12:01 pm Yeah... just put in for my second one >_>Hoping for a Christmas Miracle (which won't come, lol) that would give me enough time to get in on this.

I'd obviously rather have a fully built proper one, but can't justify the outlay of cash required for it right now, especially since I really want features (like the pop out cores for overheats from the game) that would cost a LOT and require more time and energy than I have to get really right.

I'd rather it have a sturdier way to connect like a screw on each side.looks like it twists into place, then the bumper and shock mount lock it down. There might be more locks when we eventually get it. We're still only seeing the prototype.

Answers a lot of questions, shows off the features and I really appreciated that it appears the pack is being built with customization in mind. The switch that is open for us to connect anything to is great, as is the storage compartment that could house a brick battery etc. I was excited for this before, Im over the moon now!Reading this is torture, lol. I'm at work right now (on a break), and can't watch the video. I'm chomping at the bit to get home and check it out!

Looks odd if it stands out like it does now…Looking at the picture above, I hope the green part is entirely removable. It would be nice to be able to replace it with the rebreather hose that it looks like they used for the actual movie pack.

I definitely would want to replace the hose. How much are replacement hoses?

The lines from the thrower only seem to be power and an on/off line. I don't think (unless someone can say otherwise) that there are any other data lines in this.
ncc74656m wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 4:33 pmAs of right now the pack will only power the wand on/off. The designers did say earlier they are looking at trying to add more functionality between the two, however they noted that it was very difficult to do and something they are still looking into.dantonvfx wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 3:27 pm EDIT: I just thought about something, since we have the TVG modes on the Wand... do you think we will have the Cycloton lights change colors too?Going with no, because the pack wouldn't know what mode you're in.

The sounds would play through each other.. the cyclotron would seem to start up twice, one main pack cyclotron and then a mini-cyclotron in the wand?ncc74656m wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 4:33 pmAs of right now the pack will only power the wand on/off.

One time wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 5:46 pmI was mostly being tongue in cheek about the notebook. And I agree, I'd rather have the notebook than the mini Pufts. I enjoy collecting props and stuff rather than figures.Spidon wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 11:42 am16 pages is 16 pages. Better than 0 further info into the GB1 - Afterlife universe.

I’d rather get this notebook than the puppets.
I think people who agree should start some form of campaign to switch those around or make the notebook available to buy some other way.
