My name is Andre, I live in Holland (or officially The Netherlands), I am 36 years old, and..ofc..a fan of the Ghostbusters. I work at city hall (one of the bureacratic bookworms who stiffs you on the bill) which is an ok job for the time being, since it pays the bills.
Been a GB fan on and off since 1984 when I first saw the movie. I was scared and fascinated at the same time, and when the cartoon and the toys came along, I was completly hooked. I rememer building my first, what would have to pass as a protonpack, with my younger cousin. The times we had hauling those have backpacks around. To this day I still wonder how we never ended up with a serious hernia. Ah well…
I collect GB stuff whenever I can, but here in the Netherlands it is quite a pain. The merchandise is overprized or unavailable. Every now and then I get a break, like last year when out of the blue at a convention I found my GB2 four pack in box…needless to say…I got that one straight away. Also an observing friend got me the Rookie from the Video Game two weeks ago…but other then that its just RGB stuff overhere…which is ok ofc..but even thats getting more rare.
I found this site on a quest to aquire a vaccuformed Proton Pack to be honest. I wanna make one for Halloween, and I thought I’d better get a good and early start…but as it turns out..these shells dont sell in Europ at all..or well not that I can find at any rate. Found a rental service in Belgium..so if push comes to shove I can always do that..but..I would really want to make it my own project if possible…
If you can help me out, drop me a line and see you all on the forums..
