Hey guys, I know that when the Haslab [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) shipped out, it actually did ship ahead of schedule, I believe. Does anybody believe that it could happen again with the trap and [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter)? I also realized that Haslab hasn’t given us any updates on it since around the time that the campaign closed. ---

Hopeful thinking would indicate maybe? 1. The processes, supply chain, etc. were already established with the Haslab Spengler’s [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). So we could theoretically take that off the production time. 2. The trap and PKE in terms of injection molding are relatively simple (a retainer + box and a single form hand held device) in comparison to the proton pack, which was a very complex multi-element modular product. So could be simpler to produce. Those two facts may indicate we could see a repeat of the early release. Although I have no idea how complex any trap+PKE combined play features (EMF programming?) will be which could add a chunk of time. Let alone any other franchise products that Hasbro may have going on which would influence the production timeline. ---

Let alone any other franchise products that Hasbro may have going on which would influence the production timeline. I sure hope you are right. I would hope that the challenge of making these wouldn’t be much but also, the thing to consider is that the [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) didn’t exactly have moving parts like the trap and [pke meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter). I just wish Haslab would give us an update, considering the fact that the movie is pretty much here. ---

They’re on time so long as they begin shipping out before Dec 21.
