Hi Everyone,
Raymund here. I joined 2 days ago after Google directed me here while I was researching proton pack building. I've always enjoyed Ghostbusters as a kid - I loved the first movie, liked the second, and enjoyed the cartoons. I grew up on Star Wars though, and have been collecting Star Wars action figures, props, and statues for years. When Disney took ownership of the franchise, I felt like the change didn't appeal to me as much as it previously did, and I my Star Wars collecting habits died down. I still like it overall, but not as a super-fan anymore.
When I first saw the trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I felt a wave of nostalgia and it got me back to being actively interested. Not long after seeing that trailer and re-watching the first movie in 4K and watching the trailer again, I found myself catching up on news related to Ghostbusters merchandise. Since last year, I have accumulated a small collection: a Hot Wheels Elite Ecto-1, a complete set of Diamond Select figures that each came with a diorama piece, the newer Hasbro Plasma Series line of figures, and the Spirit Halloween props that I'm planning to modify with various upgrade kits to make them look decent enough to wear at conventions (or walk around in while trick-or-treating).
So that's my story so far. I'm glad I found this group. Thanks for letting me join and I look forward to reading the various threads of the forum to help me get caught up with Ghostbusters stuff.
