Japanese Magazine Quanto Issue 269

SpengsLeave a comment

quantoapril12issue269

Last month Matthew Jordan from Ghostbusters Wiki shared scans he had from a Japanese hobby/toy magazine (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, December 12, 2015) called Quanto.

At the time all we had were photos of scans which weren’t all full pages. Ghosthead and member of NYC Ghostbusters Christopher Beaumont added a cover image from an eBay auction. If that was it, I’d still be happy I found out about Quanto and see what and how they advertised Ghostbusters.

Fortunately for ghostheads copies were available to purchase. Christopher Beaumont was able to get Issue 269 from April 2011. This past week Christopher uploaded his scans to the NYC Ghostbusters Facebook page.Read More »

Lego Designers Marcos Bessa and Paul (who materialized because LEGO secretly invented a transporter) made a Lego Designer video which talks about and shows off the Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, November 11, 2015)

Lego Ghostbusters FireHouse January Catalog

Just in time for New Years 2016 LEGO sent customers a January 2016 catalog. As expected their Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, November 11, 2015) was prominently featured. It reminded me of The Real Ghostbusters Magazines posters.

Until or if ghostheads get any more Ghostbusters Legos I scanned the cover and four additional pages for preservation. I made a PDF file from those scans.

Lego’s Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ (75827) can be bought either from LEGO Shop (US) or Lego retail stores.

Amazon Japan Ghostbusters Merchandise

After writing about more current Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise (Ecto-Containment Blog Post. December 12, 2015) memoriesofoldboy and I had an 8 comment conversation about Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise.

As you may have read I didn’t originally think to check Amazon Japan for Ghostbusters merchandise. I also would do the same with Rakuten. The idea was to look at Ghostbusters merchandise that I’m pretty sure isn’t or never was available in either the US or Canada. Most likely Mexico as well. That could be a different conversation entirely.

I found 8 categories (its possible an item either has a different style or design) on Amazon Japan and another ten on Rakuten. We’ll explore Rakuten’s selection in a separate blog post.

Before we continue the Japanese Ghostbusters items on Amazon Japan may not be available to buy any longer. Links provided are in Japanese. Browsers such as Google’s Chrome will translate to your preferred language.Read More »

Ghostbusters Selects Series 2 Pre-Ordering

I saw in my email last week that pre-orders for Diamond Select Toys Ghostbusters Series/Wave 2 went live. Depending on the site and individual figures, some are already sold out. If pre-orders for Series/Wave 2 are anything like Series/Wave 1 pretty good chance those individual figures will be available to pre-order again before May 2016.

If you were going to buy a series a a set anyway, pretty good chance they’re available to pre-order. You’ll save some money (before shipping and any applicable taxes) over buying them individually.

It makes good financial sense. – Louis Tully

Months ago I came across a couple of auctions on a popular auction site for  more current Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise. Since I don’t know when these were made and sold (perhaps they still are) and they’re newer then the Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise I’ve written about (GB Inc. Blog Post, January 15, 2015) and found them interesting I thought I’d share them.Read More »
