Hi all! Just thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Matt and I live in Richmond, VA. I’m 25 years old and I have been a GB fan for as long as I can remember. I remeber goin as a GB for halloween when I was like 8. Speaking of which I am in the market for a screen accurate proton pack with lights and sounds for a costume I’m constructing. Thanks.
Welcome to the site. Check the For Sale thread. Mostly, you can’t just buy a proton pack, but you can get all the parts and put it together yourself. I haven’t read too many threads here where someone paid someone else to put together a pack for them and shipped them all the parts. It’s best to construct your own. Check the equipment section. There are plenty of detailed pictures. Everyone’s proton pack is just a little bit different. Putting it together yourself is useful because when you wear it out, something just about always falls off. If you did it yourself, it’ll be a cinch to fix it.
yes, Welcome! Like Ryan said, the for sale section has people who regularly sell parts and sometimes somone is upgrading their pack and selling the old one.
Personally, I would build one, it is far more rewarding. I’m working on my first screen accurate one now, and yes its a labour of love, and a strain on the wallet, but far less than what you will pay come halloween when everyone starts posting packs. My first couple I made out of cardboard and they were still good enough to get people looking at parties, so that might be somewhere to start.
Welcome to the site.
If you plan to buy one, just remember it isn’t always the cheapest option.
Have fun!
