I was able to snag 3 of the sets (neither Peter set was on the peg). They had 3 Winstons, so there must have been two cases.

My friend spoke to a TRU representative today and he was informed that our TRU would not be stocking the GBs until SEPTEMBER! I can't believe that. Hopefully this is just the case of TRU employees knowing less than their customers.

Has anyone in New England found this at TRU? I'm about to hit my 5th TRU today and bupkis thus far.

The Mattel figure looks more brown to me than gray. When I spoke of other product, I was also including the Halloween costumes and really any sort of artwork. Maybe it's not right, but we as a fandom have agreed that the suits are tan.

Well, the Kubricks have tan jumpsuits, so if/when they get released, you can go with those if the color is a major issue.

I suppose I would like to have my cake and eat it to. I much prefer MiniMates to Kubricks in both articulation and availability.

Putting the color issue aside for the moment, do we know if the proton packs still have a string attaching the thrower to the pack? It was mentioned in a recent blog on AA's site, but I haven't seen the string in any of the promo shots.

Even Art Asylum's cartoon poster has the buys in tan uniforms. It's really disappointing. I don't know if they plan on releasing corrected versions later, but for every other product in the history of Ghostbusters to have tan outfits and not these, it's just curious.

Mattel's figures were all different colors, though. One was deep brown, one was almost blue. In GB1, they were somewhere between a light gray and a tan, in GB2, they were a much darker gray/olive, I believe.

Do you mean Kenner's RGB? Mattel has only shown prototypes thus far and only Spengler was painted. He was a light brown. Their 12" outfit is also a light brown. It may not be "movie accurate", but my brain wants the flight suits to be a light brown and seeing them light gray makes them look "wrong".

I'm a little confused about the suit colors. I always thought the jump suits were a light brown or tan. That's what Mattel's figures will be, that's what all the fan costumes seem to be. What's the dealio?

I really wish the suits were brown. Hopefully they will release those too!

I want a C3 fire house complete with containment unit!
