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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/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. Thanks for the help. ---

Hello Chris8414 and welcome to this forum. 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. If you know what I mean!!! 😃 ---

So you’re looking for an already built screen accurate Pack, right? I have a few question to ask you. -Do you want a [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) to put it in your house only, or would you like to wear it for events, or parade? -Would you like it resistant? -Would you like it light weight? -When you said a Built one, do you mean a totally built and shipped one, or do you know someone who got some skills and who could build for you??? ---

Sorry I did not see your reply, here are the answers to your questions. The [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) will be used for events, and for Halloween purposes. Yes it needs to be resistant. Not really worried about weight, as the alice frame will help out. Yes, I do not have to tools, or the time to build one myself. So I’m looking for some help maybe a prop builder here that builds them professionally. ---

Ok, sorry my late reply… So, you got a lot of choice: -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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters-answer-the-call) !!! 😃 AND IF ANYONE KNOWS A PROP BUILDER IN CALIFORNIA… PLEASE ANSWER THE CALL!!! 😃 ---

AWW, AND ANOTHER THING… YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHAT KIND OF PACK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR… A 1984 GB1 VERSION OR A 1989 GB2 VERSION!!! 😃 ---

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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/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! ---

Benofkent also has a page on etsy and he sells really good packs. Ive heard nothing but good things about his packs and customer support. ---

Also, this is a link to his Etsy shop: [https://www.etsy.com/shop/Benofkentprops/items](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Benofkentprops/items) 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. ---
