Really happy that there was a payment plan option available, so bit the bullet and grabbed the two pack of Venkman and Samhain. I think I'll do the same with Egon and then just go for the singles of Ray and Winston.

Just an FYI, Mondo is having a sale if you spend at least $100, you save 10. I purchased the Venkman figure last night for $91.

That's what I'm doing as well. First two two packs, than singles of Winston and Ray. Any idea if there's a way to apply these holiday deals to orders of the Peter two pack from when they first went up?

Double check with customer service, they're pretty reasonable.

Sent them an email yesterday but no response yet. It is the weekend however so probably won't be any response until next week.

I guess worst case scenario, you can cancel your order and then reorder. Maybe?

Where did this show up at? There's nothing on their site yet. Nevermind, I see that its a link from ghostbustersnews.

[mrmichaelt]

Welp. Hopefully today instead of yesterday.

[timeware]

I'm not missing out on this round. But seriously, someone should have told Caeser Romero to stop with the lip injections.

[Dr.D]

Strange of them to drop a Wednesday hint and then silence.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Maybe they jumped the gun? Seems a bit soon.

My personal expectation based on absolutely nothing was Mar/April for the preorders. But maybe we’ll hear more over the next few days / week.

[Kingpin]

Mondo also messed up getting the sale page for Peter and Samhain active back in October.

I supposed in this case, there could've been a last-minute hiccup which has thrown a spanner in the works, delaying the "further details".

[mrmichaelt]

Next Wednesday perhaps... knock wood.

edit: Yes, next week.

Do you think that just means there's going to be more information about the pre-order or do you think they'll actually drop the pre-order next week? I thought that they were planning on releasing these figures/pre-orders quarterly?

Presumably it will be like the previous set. The article with info and photos then pre-orders start the next day. That was the plan to do quarterly from what I remember. October. 4 months. February. 4 months. June. 4 months. October. It's already February unless it's every 3 months in order to do 4 preorders a year. Egon and Boogie should be this week, knock wood.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Brace position for another £200 drop. Boogie was the one I was gonna skip… but I’ll be easily swayed.

I completely forgot the first pre-order was back in October. Man time flies. It felt like last month, haha. Well, this does make a lot of sense. Not only that, but is now the next week? If so, we'll probably hear more about it tomorrow then?

Yes, probably tomorrow and/or Thursday.

[mrmichaelt]

Towards the end of Toy Anxiety, Craig said pre-orders start Wednesday (2/12) today. Mondo passed that info along to him.

[Kingpin]

Based on the timings for the Peter/Samhain sets last year, hopefully the preorder for Egon/Boogieman will go live in the next half-hour (although that's easily open to slipping).

Edit:

Yeah... It's definitely running later, if it ends up actually going live tonight.

[AJ Quick]

The exclusive deluxe 2-pack will be up on MondoShop.com tomorrow and the single pack figure will be available from GBFans.com starting on Friday.

Sweet! Thanks for the insight.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

There’s no way of cheaper postage to the UK is there?

I know some UK sites are selling with a small saving but I don’t trust they won’t cancel the orders and leave folks high and dry.

Cheers for the update.

Question for anyone who's a frequent Mondo customer: are they usually this naff in posting their updates/releases, or do they just seem to fumble the ball with their Real Ghostbuster range?

[mrmichaelt]

Here's Mondo's blog for the Egon/Boogieman pack:

While I do wish the glasses frames were thinner (which maybe could've been achieved by having them cast in transparent plastic with red paint detailing (which would then include the lenses), as they did appear a little thinner on the prototype figure we saw at San Diego Comic-Con last year... All-in-all, Egon looks fantastic... Interesting that they opted to include Louie the Gangster being trapped, rather than Boogieman.

[timeware]

They do look a tad claymationy for my likes, but there's always 3d printing as an option to fix the glasses, or maybe you could sand them down?

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Agree that Egon - and his glasses especially - are a downgrade from the render - makes me suspicious we’ll see a round of larger figures of the four Ghostbusters at a later date around $200 each.

The Boogie figure is superb, and for completion I should jump on it as I can always sell on… but I think I’m gonna show restraint and just bag the Egon this round as here in the UK the ep wasn’t shown iirc- which I think we mentioned earlier in the thread - so I have no nostalgia for Boogie and wouldn’t display the figure. I guess we have a few weeks to decide.

It was broadcast here, but oddly after CITV had shown several of the Dave Coulier episodes from season 3 and 4. We definitely got to see it after they'd broadcast The Boogieman is Back...
I believe Lost and Foundry was another episode that was broadcast in the UK after we'd had Standing Room Only and The Brooklyn Triangle... Towards the end of the show being broadcast over here.
