i looked in the trap ray!

I'll be that creepy 30 year old browsing the Walmart kid's toys aisle tomorrow.

If you fill the compartment with bubble wrap, it diffuses and reflects the green LED brightly throughout. A quick, cheap, easy hack that'll give you a lot more illumination, in dark or light settings. Keep on Bustin!

I grabbed one of these things at Wal-Mart and I am so glad I did. It looks fantastic on my display shelf and fills my desire of a detailed trap but for only $20!

$20 is practically a bargain. I love these things. There’s plenty of room for mods and improvements. The template is there.

Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere, so I’d like to point out that when the trap is activated, a green circular shape is projected on the ceiling.

I might rewire mine so off is “Off” rather than “Try Me,” and replace it with a more screen accurate toggle switch while I’m at it.

I highly recommend using rechargeable batteries for the trap, as they do eat batteries when not in use

I almost got the spirit one. Now I'm really glad I didn't. Thanks for the review. I have to admit though, as a kid I really liked the air pump one BECAUSE I could time when it opened and closed so easily. I even threw this stuffed ghost I had into it, and I wanted to close it super fast to "catch" it. The electronic one not only wouldn't have let me do that, but the sound would have driven the family insane. I assume this one CANNOT open and close without the sound? Did I miss that in the review? So I could see how this works way better for adult collectors and not so much for kids who will actually want to use this for hours on end.

I’m going to get one soon to mod. Can’t wait!

I found one day before yesterday. It was the only one in the store. Turned out it didn't work. I replaced the batteries and only the red light blinked. Nothing else, so I had to return it. I looked at every store in town and all the GB stuff was sold out. Only ones I could find were on Ebay and scalper prices for anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars. I did manage to get a working PKE meter though so it was not a total loss.

It almost looks like i could" hide " the pedal in my bag on the side of my wheelchair and have it casually in my hand while the trap is on a table or something to look aesthetically pleasing. Definitely seems worth the cost

Thanks for the battery info. Mine is having the same problem (lights but no action). Soon as I can find my tool kit I'm going to give it a shot!

It needs some bright lights shinning up when the door opens to give it that open trap effect. 20 bucks is a steal for that toy.

What’s the difference between Rubie’s/Imagine and Spirit PKE Meters? Take the backs off and then try putting them back on.

I'll just hang on to my Mattel trap.

The one and only mod I would do to this trap is put some reflective silver tape on the insides of the doors. Other than that, it is perfect ... AS IS.

They both look great! Still annoyed that these seem to be a U.S. exclusive... no signs of them at any WalMart locations up in Canada yet. And scalpers on the internet are still charging too much for them.

Dude! That is so cool for $20! If you're picky, you can just repaint it and maybe make a new body around the pedal! I'm so glad I skipped on the Spirit Halloween one, now I'm going to look for this!

Thank you for clearing up the off/on switch with the pedal. I thought I had a defective model and my batteries are drained for this reason. I will start keeping the switch in the middle position.

I 💘 it so much and it's on Amazon too

I saw them at Walmart. I grab some next time. Awesome video!💥😎👍🏿

Roy Batty: "Gosh you've . . really got some nice toys, here . . . "

I GOT THIS!! It's absolutely amazing, thank you for the video so I could get a heads up before I got it! I even modified it!

Tried to find it on the Walmart site, it doubled or tripled in price. And sellers on eBay are selling it for 280💀

I have the OG Spirit Halloween version but if I ever find this in store I’ll pick it up for the pedal feature.

Can’t wait to find both !

How cool are they! I had all the blue ones as a kid just looking back at my memories as clearing my grans out and found my old ghostbuster car it still looks new! I had 2 the first one got wrecked

Will be buying this very soon to go with my Proton Pack. The only thing that's stopped me from getting kitted out is the lack of good and reasonably priced props!

i love your videos man! and I cant wait to get my own trap!

the kenner ghost traps were notoriously bad for the hosing to split and was an pain to repair it that took hours to get mine fixed but toys in the 80's were cheaply mass produced that many issues of parts breaking off and not functioning properly i had to repair my castle greyskul by replacing the interiors with new parts that came from united states but it all fit and worked nicely at least toys have improved since then.

I found one just casually in the toy section while looking for puzzles to pass the time, I snatched this up real quick and it's totally worth it

Smoke system from RC tank need added in this and Slide a heat shrink wrap down the cable and thicken it up and make it more sturdy looks like it'll rip out thw fine solder very easily

I would personally buy this one as well as look for stickers to put on it and paint the parts that is that

Me and my cousin got these and the PKE's as fun novelty items since we love GB's but don't have tons of cash to make or buy our own actual replicas. Really great quality for the price point! My cousin explained he was trying to think of something he could put inside the trap for while it goes through its light and sound display. So I gave him a spare Mattel Slimer that came with the 7 or so inch figures from years back. Actually kinda cool! Since their Slimer was translucent and there's green lights in there it gives the spud a nice look. Plus he's just small enough to fit in there while the doors close so you can just leave him in there all the time. Used a bit of museum putty to keep him from rattling around.

Some ppl are complaining how easy it is to get the trap doors stuck in the open position, you gotta get the screw driver and open up in half, fix the gear system and screw back the two halves. My kid broke mine on the first day but we fixed it :D

What are RP minis like? There part of the hasbro afterlife series £11.99 don't know if there for the 6 in figs or this size?

I think I'm gonna turn my Spirit trap into a mailbox

I got this like two days after it came out. It so cool. It’s a little delicate but still great.

A year later and these are not available at Wal-mart. Did they go out of production already? Maybe a new one is coming to go along with Afterlife.

I am a big fan of Ghostbusters

Cool looking Ghost Trap and PKE Meter!

Wish they'd routed the wire out where the hose should be. It would make the mods so much easier. But overall, I do like this trap, and at $20, it's a steal. A little work, and it can look pretty great, I think.

My Walmart's toy department didn't have much space for these so you might have to ask for a trap or PKE meter.they had a few of each.

Hope this pops up at my walmart!

How dare you speak ill of the OG Kenner trap. 😉

I love my matty collecter trap and pke, but never use them due to worry about damaging them since the values skyrocketed. (But stickers on the doors for the matty? Really?) so the wal mart stuff is great! Yeah they are not as accurate, but 20 bucks? That’s a steal. I bout a trap that I thought was broke because I didn’t really care if the sounds worked for a prop for my outfit. Changed the batteries and it’s fine. I’ll but more if I ever find them stocked again. As a 40 year old who grew up on GB,I have to say it’s a good time to be alive!

Its definitely cool gotta get one. I used to have all the 80 ghostbuster toys until my house burnt down =/

"I like that shirt, friend"

sadly the walmart where i live doesn't have these yet and they are not on the walmart site yet either

Is it not just the bit of power left in the pedal when it's switched off Does it do it again or just the once then the powers discharged? I've a few things that do the same thing you have to hit the power button to get that extra energy out it! Virgin routers do it and Google chromecasts

Did find the PKE Meter at my local Walmart, only two left but no ghost traps.

When can I get it sense I’m in Australia because we get our stuff late?

I could see this making for a great trap to buy & then modded to be more accurate. Probably still be cheaper then the other when done too.

$20, but now dudes are selling them for $175-$225.

Ghostlabs42 on eBay has a complete mod kit!!!! I highly recommend his parts!

Those look pretty darn good for the price!

None of mine have any ghostbusters stuff in Wi.

I have a question considering the trap cord, if I were to hold it up to pretended I caught a ghost, would it break off from the trap base? If so, what material should I use to tough up the wire?

Can't go wrong for $20!

Ooohh so this explains the creepy tall men in the ghostbusters section

I found the Ghost trap!

I ordered mine off ebay. ..can't wait to get it

Love how the price on this sky rocketed

I really need to move to the States, because this thing is almost £100 on ebay here in the U.K, lol.

7:03 Cmon man, don't look into the trap.

So all I gotta do I buy the stickers for more detail

Unfortunately these sell on ebay for ridiculous prices now. Other than Ebay I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

I want one but I don't want to pay 5X the price on Ebay. Walmart is terrible at making stuff available.

Those PKE Meters kinda look like Terror Dogs.

That MUSIC ! oh my dayz !

I've looked at Walmart so very carefully but is this in the toy isles?? I can't find both the trap or the PKE meter, idk if that's bc I live in Oklahoma but.. I want both of them including the Ecto goggles 😂😂 I need to complete my costume

Bring back the Kenner blue one!

I have This toyit’s really fun

My try button didn't work either lol & Imagine toys being part of Ruby's explain the lack of quality

I just checked my spirit Halloween ghost trap..if you switch to the middle position the same thing happens where the batteries dont drain

Is that actually at the Walmart in Canada? Seriously the only Ghostbusters related thing I've seen there is a hot wheels car of Ecto 1. Walmart online shows a ghost trap from Spirit Halloween priced at $300! So what's going on here? Feels like I live in some alternate universe where Ghostbuster stuff is rare and overpriced. 😔 Smh.

Yeah. The batteries in thr ghost traps tend to be cheap and bad. I replaced mine with some Duracell batteries and it worked fine.

I cant wait for the north oshawa store get this Ghostbusters stuff 🚫👻

The Spirit Halloween is actually better and here's why. Walmart rely on battery. Nothing works without the battery. Battery drain if you leave it on. Spirit Haloween version the latch still open without battery. You can leave the latch open and use it as a cone incense holder with smoke coming out just like in the movie. There's actually a new version that is just an incense holder selling for $59. Spirit you can convert as a toy and an incense holder.

All the traps have lousy weak batteries installed I put 3/8 in. split loom wire cover on mine to cover the thin wire

Yeah, it was a battery issue. My trap did the same thing until I changed the batteries out.

Target has there version of the ghost trap as well.. I think Walmarts is way better. I have to go look for this

Go ahead and find you a "Matty Ghostbusters GhostTrap!" MORE expensive, but in the long run....WAY MORE ACCURATE!!!!.

I saw this and the pke meter but i decided to get this and well after fixing the doors i say its preety good. havent got the pke meter but i bet its better than the trap.

This is so cool, but I went to walmart.com and online, at least, they're $73 and sold out! Ouch! I'm so bummed.

Epic 😃

I like the new one better without the push button.

Can you do the ecto1 rc monster truck

Not $20 anymore. People have scavaged them and selling them on Ebay now. Good luck finding one in the stores.

Twenty dolla, make you scream & holla

why is the on/off on the trap arranged like that? it defeats the purpose of an "off" indicator

The doors stopped moving after about 10-15 times of hitting the button

Hey Jason is the trap available in oklahoma?

I WANT THEM!!!!!FROM WHERE WE CAN FIND THESE ITEMS??

How do I get one of these in the U.K. fantastic

its in there

I bought one today but the doors wont close does anyone have any solutions?

Imagine...by Rubies...by Spirit Halloween...by Rubies

I went to Walmart yesterday and found the pke meter and the trap when I tried out the trap I just turned the red lights on so I bought the meter
