as far as I can tell, having the PKE and other piece make no difference in what animations you see. I see Library Ghost and stream as well whether its dead silent or whether there is noise around… hmmm
It’s supposed to be the high pitched beeping that causes the library ghost and proton stream to appear; the fact that you see them in dead silence is certainly odd.
I had that happen as well after I synched it with the PKE meter. Check the knob settings that switch the different animations. When you turn the knob you will feel it locked into the next setting for animation. However if the knob is in between animation settings it will toggle back and forth between the different slimer animations and the library ghost. Mine would still do that even after I turned off the PKE meter. It stopped once I turned the dial until it locks into place on the animation setting, instead of resting in between settings. If that doesn’t work, then maybe you have ecto goggles that actual work for real.
I will play around with that. I did have it synced up with the PKE Meter. I guess I wasn’t really paying attention to the knobs that much as far as each turn having a rhyme or reason. I saw something about it in the instructions. It has just seemed somewhat random, time to read the instructions closely and pay attention I guess
What makes you say that? I’ve looked at the small / unclear pictures ones on here and on Google Image search and can’t make out anything. I don’t think they had any stickers on them.
This is from a recent goggles label discussion…I’m scanning my labels so I can use a few if I want to see if I like them and then just have the original.
I tried and tried again to “not see” the library ghost and stream, not that I really care but it’s just strange, it doesn’t matter if I have the PKE or anything, it does them regardless.
Also can anyone tell if the speed of the beep does anything for the speed of the animations?, it sounded like Scott said that in the video of them but I can’t see that anything makes a difference in the speed, maybe I’m just not noticing it or that was bogus/he didn’t know what he was saying…
Since the question seems to pop up so much, I took a few pictures of my goggles with the stickers applied (plus a few comparison pics of actual goggle frame decals).
***NOTE - **I don’t know if I have the text on the white label facing in the right direction, but it seemed like the more logical choice.
I’m assuming the little red warning stickers are supposed to the white decals on the side of the actual prop goggles… Also, the placement of the large white sticker depends on whether you prefer the the longer nub on the black lens pointing upwards, or the shorter nub pointing upwards. I prefer the longer nub pointing up as it distracts a bit from the goofy size difference between the two lenses, but since the nubs on the movie prop were in a totally different configuration, it’s your call (i.e. neither way would be “more accurate” than the other).
I’m in the uk the tracking said my goggles left the US on the 27th august and still haven’t arrived just wondering if anyone else is still waiting for theirs?
I’m in the UK and I’m still waiting for mine, it’s been in customs since Tuesday last week. I phoned up parcel force and they said that at the moment it isn’t unusual for things to sit in UK customs for two weeks.
Mine arrived yesterday. It arrived in portugal last 29th, was cleared from customs last 2nd and arrived on the 3rd. Had to pay customs too…
After all the reviews and comments from other buyers I was little surprised.
For the first time a gb matty prop comes with no batteries so be prepared: 3 AAA batteries are needed.
I havent yet figured out the logic behind the button’s use, I randomly turn it until something happens because it doesn’t happen always (well, exactly like a ghost sighting should be). But the library ghost/proton stream animations don’t need any button fumbling to appear, only the PKE sound. And the frequency of those animations depend on the speed of the pke’s sound.
You can’t use the goggles on your forehead like Ray, the straps aren’t adjustable. But i am trying to figure out a way to keep the top strap folded on itself to shorten it’s length. If I can do that it I may be able to wear the googles like Ray.
It’s a cool toy, I think it shouldn’t hurt the market of fan homemade goggles because those are a different league.
