I was in the process of writing about something else for this site when the mail man came a knocking at my door to deliver me all kinds of goodies.
If you're wondering (trust me, you probably aren't) that "other" post will be up tomorrow.
I was pretty excited to see mister mail man today, as I knew that today would finally be the day that I got the items I had ordered online a week ago.
I typically HATE ordering things online as the wait takes forever. I'm one of those weird people who likes to have the item in my hand the moment the money is forked over.
Regardless of me being weird, lets see what today's mail brought!!!!
First up we have the Real Ghostbusters volume 1 DVD set.
I had this so long ago, and was nearly heartbroken when it got lost in a move years and years ago.
This set, still factory sealed, was scored off of Amazon for around $8 after shipping. Not too bad.
To make things even better, I only ordered it 3 days ago. Boy, they sure are fast. Big props to the seller for being so quick!
The Ghost Spooker!!!!!!
It's a rare day that I get to add a Kenner item to my collection that I do not already own. I think I'm down to about 5 or 6 items now to have a complete Kenner collection.
Seriously, I have no idea what I am going to do with myself when I accomplish this goal. I mean, obviously I will move on to completing the Extreme Ghostbusters set, and then Matty and whatnot, but the Kenner line, as it was the original, is kind of a big deal for me to finish. It's bittersweet, that's for sure.
I'm not going to go into great detail about the Ghost Spooker since it deserves a review of it's own.
The item was not sealed in it's box by any means, so I took the contents out for a photo, but hey, the box IS there, so it makes it that much cooler, right?
And last, but not least, there is the Extreme Ghostbusters Plasma Blaster!
This is yet another item that I did not already have, but to be fair, my collecting focus for many years has been the Kenner stuff, so I have only picked up the EGB stuff when it is readily available, or cheap.
Again, not going into a lot of detail since this item will get a post of it's own at some point, but like the Ghost Spooker, the toy has been opened and played with before, so I had no bad feeling about opening it to take a photo.
All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good day, when you factor in the Stay Puft pencil sharpener and sealed Ertl Ecto-1A model kit that I picked up locally today.
Can't hate seeing your Ghostbusters collection grow!
I'm thinking sometime after the Halloween season, I am going to ask all of my readers here and on Facebook to show me a pic of their collection, which I will feature in a slide show or gallery here in a future post. It's always fun to see what other Ghostbusters collectors have, and I'll admit, even I sometimes get jealous!
