It is a brand new video that is very careful to avoid violating any of our copyrights.
in case anyone was curious this is what a video bob shell actually looks like.
That photo was taken from this build thread http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27306
For the moment, I’ve noted the controversy and highlighted ozzy’s link back to this thread. My place isn’t very active, and what activity it has isn’t really prop-based, so I don’t think he’d get many “bites” there anyway. I will continue to watch the situation and consider it further.
new videobob video up on youtube
Granted, I would disagree with this just on the fact that Bob has been banned from the site in general…, but did you not watch the end of his last video?
here’s the url if you missed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_RhiOmp18
and here’s the verbatim of the last few statements…
"Someone has a real a real problem with power and authority. And you need to get a grip on that. Dude. Because that power and authority is not gonna help you when you run into me face to face somewhere because it’s eventually gonna happen and uh you can take that however you like. So you won’t just be able to click and ban me out of your face, when that happens so just keep in mind that there’s a thing called Karmah and what goes around comes around and there’ll be NO MERCY from videobob unless I get an apology from you.and so that’s just the way it is. "
Yeah…that’s physical threats to AJ, Vince, and anyone “against” him.
IMO He should face criminal charges, not just a site ban.
He also complains that his account at the RPF was deleted (it wasn’t, it still exists, he’s simply banned). If it were deleted, I couldn’t do this:

And of course, a little reminder as to why he was banned from the RPF:

Ghostbuster’s Proton Pack Shell - Production Screen Used? - Part 2
If Bob were even a 100th of the prop builder he loves to claim he is (3 Ecto-1s! 8 Deloreans! Discovery Channel!), then he’d be able to build a Proton Pack that looked exactly like the ones from the movie, rather than rely on recasting one, and getting so many other people to do the legwork.
Ok you guys need to check this out lol… VideoBobs at it again…
In his Ebay explanation of the shell it states:
Um… Somehow I think not… I would tend to believe the original had nice flat , sharp details to it. I would believe warping and a con-vex shape is due to recasting… But I could be wrong :whatever:
Posted earlier today in the RPF thread… more evidence of what a great guy VB is.

Ugh…
Videobob has removed all references to the Discovery Channel.
He now simply states that he has a TV show coming out next year.
So chances are:
-He got his contract for a pilot pulled with the Discovery Channel.
-Never had a contract with the Discovery Channel.
-Never had anything and was filming the pilot on his own, with the hopes of it getting picked up.
For those interested, here’s more about his RPF drama
That’s not the only manhood he’s uploaded online. Careful what you search for. 
I find it interesting that I’m “the expert”
I’d like to clear something up here as well,… until now I didn’t address any of this ■■■■ because in the world of the internets, there’s nothing more pathetic than a good old fashioned nerd flame-war.
"The ion arm is fiberglass!’
“The ion arm is aluminum! I hate your face!”
Uh-uh,… been down that road before and it’s a dead end EVERY time.
HOWEVER,… mom’s good advice, “Ignore the bully and he’ll go away” NEVER worked. It never HAS worked, and it never WILL work and in fact, I’ve found that sometimes keeping a low profile gets me into more trouble than a quick skirmish and moving on.
Therefore, (for anyone that still cares and I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot of you), I just wanna clear up one thing,… this PM feed that Bob so lovingly keeps referring to in his videos was started right around the same time as the RPF debacle.
When he put up his “I’m gonna recast this shell” thread,…(his FIRST post on the RPF is a recasting thread, FYI), he also included a butt-load of semi-private and VERY private info about ME that he SWIPED from my facebook page, (before I knew you had to disable your page so non-friends couldn’t see it).
So in order to shore up his argument he drags MY name into it and uses said swiped info in the quest back up his warped perspective.
So I sent him a little PM.
As you may well imagine, it was an angry one, and thus began this huge correspondence spanning months and months of me saying things like “stop using my Goddam name in your auctions”, trying to correct, (a losing prospect, BTW), all the erroneous info he had about me and was stating as fact as well as trying to refute his argument that “we’re both the same” as we are BOTH recasters.
I mean,… come on.
Then, despite me trying to keep out of it, the next thing I know he’s going to war with GB fans and is staging SELECTED dramatic readings from my friggin’ messages and telling everybody,… “we talk every day! We’re buddies!”
Right. There’s a LOT of four letter words in those messages. A lot of anger and a LOT of informational things trying to correct the spin.
And here we are.
FYI, my chatty “buddy” hasn’t contacted me at all since he said, "I know Sean’s probably gonna be mad at me for this but,…"and then started reading our PM’s in the video.
He will never get another written word from me again. Not even to tell him off.
Thanks for letting me clear the air, fellas. Sorry for the drama.
Venky
I 2nd this. I have stores on Raine and his “partner” Thiago, and a little info on BoB
.>
I live down the road from the guys, and it took FOREVER to even get them to get me stuff.
I believe it was OVER A YEAR to get somethng that was mine.
*after someone moved and i couldnt get an address
Not to mention the mis-representation. Claiming they are original production Proton Packs from Universal Studios…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvrDL0Nu_ZI wow! you can definitely see how badly the cyclotron is deformed.
Video Bob has now gone off the deep end. Check out his latest ebay listing:
He’s now including a Certificate of Authenticity. What is he trying to authenticate and who’s signature appears on the certificate?
Now the guy is selling a Corvair thermostat bellows on Ebay as a shock mount. On one hands states on Ebay he doesn’t know where it comes from but then admits he has a Corvair sitting at his shop!
Unreal.
In my mailbox this morning…
So what is the point of telling me what this thing is, then going onto gbfans and talking crap about me after the fact?
No, I didn’t know where it came from.
Yes, my friend has his rare Corvair station wagon parked at my shop.
(Total coincidence. - I happen to own about 15 cars.)
No, I have never crawled under it to see one of these on it.
No, this is NOT to a Corvair in the first place, it is a different part.
The Corvair wasn’t produced until 1960, this bellows is marked 1958.
This part came from Apex surplus in Burbank, they don’t deal with car parts.
it most likely came from some sort of aircraft application, chances are it was an air cooled engine.
I put it up on eBay for a measly $1.00.
I sell my parts fairly.
Funny how guys like you suck the dick of these other tools who rip you off and you thank them for it.
I happen to know that AJ is actually paying $21 each for the knobs he is charging $30+ each for.
He stands to make about $2k-$3K off that order, not exactly charity.
Him and his cronies charge up the ass for their parts.
I know what the stuff costs to make.
They are all ripping you guys off left and right and you thank them and beg for more.
Fucking hilarious.
Why don’t you post that shit on gbfans?
Anyway, thanks for the info.
After some quick research I have figured out the correct part and sourced it.
Something I haven’t seen on GBfans yet.
When I offer my completed packs they will be built on real production shells, all metal guns,
genuine parts where applicable, sound effects, lights, vibration, everything dreamed of.
I plan to offer the best of the best and watch these fools drool for my tools.

The 1960 Corvair rolled off the assembly line in 1959, and as someone who restores old Mopars I can assure you that car makers back then had parts for vehicles as much as a year in advance.
There is no shortage of 340 blocks with a 1967 date even though the engine wasn’t introduced till 1968. Engine build dates often predate the chassis by as much as 8 months back in the day.
Look at the picture and decide for yourself, the purple cast to the new part is a protective coating. I had one of those parts in hand while working on a customers vehicle and played a fine practical joke on the parts store.
Call a parts store and ask for the thermostat for an air cooled engine and see the response you get, but there is one right there.
