Straight from Ghost Corps post on Facebook.
Just to get an idea this the pack on a 6 foot tall person:
Cost is gonna be $70 and it’s going to be released for this season’s Halloween!!! Has lights and sounds! You can watch the video on Ghost Corps Facebook page if you’re interested!
As long as it stays with those crisp details like in the picture I’ll totally pick one up for use at our tables maybe one for my kid since it had sound. The thrower scale is off some though
Well, its closer in size to the real thing than that Ruby’s Costume version.
Pre-order just went LIVE
Why is this not available for europe?
While I can’t speak for the pack, I recall the PKE couldn’t officially be shipped over due to some European labeling restrictions …
Preordered! My scratch built pack is too heavy for my wife to use, I imagine this will be better for her!
It actually looks half way decent!
The picture with the 6ft tall guy wearing it really does it better justice than they’re stock photo..I really hope what goes into production will be this exact pack.
Looks ripe for modding!
I suspect the above photo is of the production version, as Ghost Corps were talking about giving some away last night. It’s even more likely that’s the final product given that it’s already expected to be out in time for Halloween.
8 year old me would have lost his mind over this. It’s a nice looking piece for the price and I can see a lot of people doing neat stuff with it.
Shippng is estimated 8/5 on my order, so I imagine that these are production pieces.
Seems people have started getting them:
Spirit cancelled my order. I didn’t realise that they had been transferring the funds in and out of my account like 5 times over the last couple weeks and they tried taking payment right when my account had no money in it. As I thought they’d already take it.
■■■■. Just…■■■■. Who knows if they’ll be available this friday and when the hell i’ll even be able to get one now.
I’m sorry dude. I’ve noticed them try to charge me several times as well but it never gets past pending. I’m starting to get worried. I’ll probably just head over to my local Spirit Halloween and see what I can work out. I wouldn’t mind having more than one if possible anyway.
In my case, they actually took the funds out several times. I made a very large payment from the account I used for the pack which temporarily left it empty. For like a day. Then out of the blue…CANCELLED.
I’ve never known any other company to do things this way. Had I known, i’d have used another account. It’s a pita.
My preorder is sitting in my credit card as pending and has been since the day I preordered. Nothing out of the ordinary that I have seen. It’s not been going in and out. What kind of payment did you make? The preorders are still available so you can reorder it.
They fully charged you multiple times?
Yesterday it showed a pending transaction for my pre-order and today it is no where to be found. Money hasn’t been taken out at all. This has happened at least 3 times that I’ve noticed since I pre-ordered on 7/22. I’m using my chase total checking account that I share with my wife. Never had an issue with it before.
I just sent Spirit Halloween an email asking about the status of my payment. I’ll let you know what they say.
So yea, Spirit Halloween’s Customer Service department is absolute ■■■■!
Had the same thing happen as others. I had an order cancelled, never received any notification, and they literally offered no help whatsoever to fix the problem. Just basically said, “oh well, reorder it and go to the back of the line.”
Same situation as others, and they even admitted, they place a “retail hold” every 7-9 business days. So they’ll keep taking the money out and putting it back in. This caused an issue with my credit card company, which cancelled the one order.
Yeah, they took the money out fully and redeposited it SIX times since the 22nd of July. I used an account which is mostly just empty most of the time. The only thing that ever really goes out of it is rent and utilities. Once I saw the payment go out I hadn’t bothered checking the account since then. And then I find out it was cancelled.
However, I don’t see anyone else getting packs in the last few days outside of advance copies for reviewers. So it could be that being sent to the back of the line won’t have any impact anyway since it looks like that 10/15 shipping date is the one they’re going with for all the orders.
I just got an email back saying the preorder got delayed to 9/15. Ill be right in the middle of my vacation to NY ironically.
