So the "current" final total, with the obvious changes to come in the next few days, is:
15,698 / 12,000 (+2,344) 130.82% of funding goal with 0d left.
Couple of end of funding points:
1- This is the lowest funding total for a Ghotsbusters Haslab to date. 3,364 less than the Proton Pack and 8,663 less than the Trap/PKE.
2- This appears to be the 5th lowest Haslab that funded (in total number of backers). Now that is based on action figure brand Haslabs that count individual backers and not including the games Haslabs. The Khetanna is the lowest funded Haslab. I can't remember where I saw the number but it was less than 9,000 backers. Unicron was somewhere in the 10,000-12,000 range I believe (again I can't find the exact number but it is somewhere). Giant-Man was 13,889 and Mos Eisley Cantina was 14,737.
So not gangbusters compared to other GB Haslabs, and Haslabs in general, but it funded so who cares!!! Congrats to the GB team and everyone who backed on a successful project. Now we wait.
Of course this was going to do less than the Proton pack and trap/PKE meter. There are A LOT more people who cosplay, or would like to cosplay as Ghostbusters, or just have nice props of those items, than there are who would want a massive replica of the Ecto-1.
I don't have numbers, but I doubt the Blitzway Ecto sold anywhere close to this many, and the larger model that comes in pieces in monthly installments is I'm sure, a much lower run.
Ecto 1 is now above Skystriker. It jumped to 17706, but is now settled at 17251.
Now says 15,177. Definitely wild swings as it tries to charge everyone's cards. I just got charge in the last 30 minutes. Give it another day or two to see where it settles.
And I just checked and see 17,251. Strange.
Still seeing 17,251 too. Maybe some people celebrated this funding too hard?
LOL
Ok I see where the difference is coming from. I first tried using my VPN to switch to a US address just in case, but that didn't change anything.
However I did find where the difference is coming from, and the question now is which is right (most likely the higher number).
If you go to Pulse and click on "New & Exclusive" and go to Haslab, then click on the Ectomobile you should get the 15,177 number.
If you go to "Brands" and then Ghostbusters and click on the Ectomobile you get the 17,251 number.
So that is where I was getting the different number. Again I assume the higher number is the right number.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. I wonder why the two numbers come up at all. You'd think it was the same product page. That 17k number is staggering to me, way more than I anticipated would back.
Interesting that the number is being pulled from two different spots. I wonder if 17,251 is total units, not orders, and 15,177 is total orders (with some ordering multiples).
I'm just glad it's all over, done with and paid for. $450 is a tall ask around Christmas time with competing expenses flying around, but this genuinely felt like a good deal given the lights/sounds, 7 figures, a myriad of accessories and the ability to choose which Ecto I want to keep it as. Plus being able to knock cross the GB2 busters and Slimer off the list in one fell swoop feels good. Even moreso knowing I'm largely taken care of on movie Ghostbusters aside from maybe Viggo or Yanosh. 3 more Real Ghostbusters from Mondo and I can likely retire from the property contented.

I think it is probably more likely that the lower number is somehow a page where the counter stopped (for whatever reason). Who knows for certain, but in a couple days I will update my list with the higher number.
@jtmarsh Yeah even with the high price (especially here in Canada...thanks lower exchange rate), this is still a pretty good all-in-one package. If they go ahead with the proposed reissue of the GB1 team then that would be great. I am good otherwise as I personally don't need, or really want, anyone else. However that's just me.
