Hello all, I am new here and a huge fan of the series just like everyone else. I needed some help and possibly pointed in the right direction. Like everyone here I dream of having my own proton pack with lights and sounds. Could someone point me in the right direction as to who I should talk to about getting one built. I’m not very handy when it comes to building things, so I would need someone to build one for me. I have seen these online going anywhere from $650-$2600, so any help would be much appreciated! I would love a pack that is highly screen accurate, and has all the bells and whistles. I look forward to talking to the community and meeting new fellow Ghostbusters.
Is it posible to get a clearer introduction from you, please?
The reason is simple.
If we know where you are (well, we don’t need your postal address LOL :-P), it will be easier for everybody to suggest someone or some persons who lives not far from your house to help you… Or a prop builder.
-Either you choose an Anovos Pack for the simplicity to mount by yourself. The only thing is that you will have to wait a long time.
-Or you choose to buy the elements on differents props Builders or sellers, Like GB Fans, Karnivorous Creations, Studio Creations, FreekyGeeky, Eugenious Props, Nick-A-Tron, Benofkent, CPU64, Vincenzo or another one, but don’t forget 2 THINGS: buy the Shell and the Motherboard from the SAME PERSON, and you have to find someone who could work on your Pack for you.
I can suggest you not to buy from Bob’s Propshop or Viking Props, it’s not only because they’re blacklisted. On the Viking Props, even if it’s a Cheap Complete Pack, if you’re looking for a CLEAN Finished Pack, you will have to FINISH THE JOB. And a Bob’s Propshop is, in my opinion, a very expensive Pack, 2999$ + shipping for a Pack with a Matty Toy Wand.
I suggest you to make a contact with a Ghostbusters Franchise close to your house… Maybe they could help you to find someone for this JOB!!!
ANYWAY IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR A PACK TO WORK ON IN CALIFORNIA, I HOPE FOR CHRIS8414 THAT SOMEONE WILL ANSWER THE CALL !!!
AND IF ANYONE KNOWS A PROP BUILDER IN CALIFORNIA… PLEASE ANSWER THE CALL!!!
Or you could possibly do what some of us in the community have done: you can get the Spirit Halloween pack and dress it up a little bit. I’ve ordered a v-hook conversion kit for mine and will eventually strap it onto an ALICE pack.
Check out Karnivorous Creations on Facebook. I’m getting my pack currently made by then and their prices for the amount of stuff you’re getting with it isn’t bad at all. Also check out BenOfKent or even Knowone251 in the “CLASSIFIEDS” section of the forum
I have reached out to Karnivorous Creations and Nickatron so far. Karnivorous Creations seems like a real possibility. I like Nickatrons packs, but he is overseas so shipping would be pricey. I appreciate everyone’s feedback on this journey and everyone’s feedback is welcomed here. Oh and I’m looking for a GB 1 pack. Can’t knock the original!
He doesn’t have completed kits for sale on Etsy, but the prices there will help give you a baseline of what you’ll be looking at. It’s a safe bet that a completed kit will cost considerably more than the kits he has for sale there.
Can’t knock the original!
