The Ghost Command Playset finally arrived today! I am so thrilled I finally got it. It is simply amazing! I remember two of my friends use to have the Ghost Command and I would go to their place to play with it. The only difference between seeing it again now and from my memory as a kid is that it's not as huge and colossal as I remember. It's funny how things look so much bigger when you're smaller I just finished checking if all the parts are present and accounted for and it's complete The previous owner did open the box and put most of the parts in new bags, but it looks like he never as-sembled it! Both sticker sheets are there with all labels still on it and the instructions are there as well. The instructions are not very clear how many parts the Ghost Command has. It took awhile to check everything because of this. That's the biggest reason I am making this thread. I want to make a "Ghost Command Playset" checklist for everyone who wants to check if theirs is complete, and if you're missing a part, what part it is! It's also to identify the parts as well I guess. It's going to be a parts summation and picture by picture view of all of the parts. I am also going to scan the 2 sticker sheets in 300 dpi. Anyone who needs a replacement label could print this out and replace the label this way! And naturally, I am going to include a scan of the instruction sheet! This is going to be a fun little project and useful for everyone I hope ^_^

Synth, I'm very happy for you, really. You wrote a nice "account" of our favourite house/headquarters. Of course, keep us updated about your terrific Ghost Command project.Since I've purchased a full set of vintage Ghostbusters action figures, I'm wondering if we can play together... LOL. I'll post some pics soon.

Update There are 57 plastic parts in total, 3 rubber bands, 2 sticker sheets and 1 instruction manual. I just finished taking pictures of all the parts and the box. I have taken pictures of several sides of the parts, but am unsure at this moment if I should pick the best picture or add several sides. It'll take some time to go through all the pictures, do a quality check and maybe I have to retake some as well. I'll run them through photoshop afterwords to add numbers or names to the parts. I'll most likely have the scans of the paperwork online first. After everything is done, I might try to redraw the sticker sheets for better quality prints as replacements. I am not the best photoshop drawer. Maybe someone could help out with it

Maybe someone could help out with it If at all possible, you should consider replacing the "smiling ghost face" with the "worried ghost face"...unless you're only interested in restoring the toy itself, rather than going for an in-universe-accurate thing.

Hi Go-ers! It's been a loooong while. But better late than never I've been busy with a lot of preparation for immigration and packing all of the toys and other possessions for the big movement. It's finally getting almost done. I packed Ghost Command as well which takes up the most space because I gave it extra space in wide boxes with bubblewrap since all the pieces are fragile. Even tho mine is almost unused, it still have a few cracks and a glued tab. I believe that the only perfect undamaged Ghost Commands are the ones left untouched misb. I finally found the time to make all the pictures of all the various pieces that go with Ghost Command. I put all the pictures on my photobucket page here: s768.photobucket.com/albums/xx324/synthalus/ghostbusters/filmation/I will still be adding a few more pictures soon to finish the project. I still need to scan the sheets which is tricky since they are large and my scanner is only an A4.

Photobucket seem to have some problems, I'll look for a new image uploader with albums soon. For now, I have scanned the instructions and the sticker sheets and put them on imageshack. I had to copy and paste them all because they are bigger than my scanner. For the sticker sheets, I scanned them in 3 parts so no single sticker would be paste halfway. I wanted each sticker to be a full non paste scan for the best result My original reworked copies are done in the crazy 1200dpi scans in BMP format. These uploaded scans are in 150dpi When I finally get some time after the moving, I will try to retouch the images where I can, and try to make a separate GB logo that resembles the cartoon. I'm not that skilled at it though. If someone else here can do it and has the time I'll gladly share the original pasted scans Uploaded with ImageShack.us
