I find it hard to agree with you too. When you think about it a 6" scale vehicle is priced for $215. The figures are sold separately as in you need to get these new figures because the previous released versions are not compatible. Are the designers at Mattel really that dumb to not think ahead of possible vehicles? The Matty Ghost Busters line has just been a joke. We get all 4 GB members with identical bodies, same heights, same build. This is not screen accurate.
The Ecto-1 itself is just overpriced. I am tired of the small numbers being made BS because if that's true then double the production and cut the price in half. Problem solved. Companies do what they can to cut corners but still find a way to make their products to hold their brand standards. Make a 6" scale Ecto-1 but cut those sound effects. We don't need engine sounds, I could even live without the siren sounds if those SFX cost a $100. We need to lights and the open doors and trunk. I don't see how an Ecto-1 would cost more than $115. I think Mattel should throw in those packless GB figures for free as a pre-order bonus. That's why people pre-order, not because they are being threatened every year.
Gimme a ****ing break.
