Scott Neitlich interview: “The [Ecto Goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles) ARE NOT considered a [prop replica](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/mattel-prop-replicas) by Matty.” Hmmmm… ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/7/a79c472bb26e717b85cd7a1980d19eac4dc0dab4.jpeg) According to the sale page, they **are** calling it a prop replica :sigh: ---

Thanks, AJ. I wish I had done this with the [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap)… I missed out and it has never been restocked. ---

Listed as “Almost Gone” now. Who wants to take the over/under on how long it stays at this description from this point? Added: on the plus side, getting to “Almost Gone” after all the complaints and the “I’m not buying this garbage” posts, they can’t say there isn’t enough interest/market to make these toys/replicas/props/whatever’s. ---

That’s because it’s more than likely not almost gone, and their just using that to drum up more sales before they set it sold out and sell some more during the holiday season… ---

> [@Dan AKA](#): > > That’s because it’s more than likely not almost gone, and their just using that to drum up more sales before they set it sold out and sell some more during the holiday season… I know it’s likely a ploy, but even if its fake, the fact that they would set it to “Sold Out”, effectively ending any more sales of the item at least for the moment, then that must mean they got their money’s worth out of it, right? Of course, I’m applying logic to the business practices of Matty Collector…so I’m probably way off on this. ---

They’ll be in Mystery Boxes for forty dollars with some throw away figures. My head would explode from anger, let me be wrong. ---
