For “the most 80’s obsessed person on the planet” this so much of a dream come true that I half thought it was a trick being played on me by a phantom Jeremy Beadle. Not only can non USA based collectors now get access to them (rejoice, we exist!), but they’ve taken their first foray into crossing our beloved robots over with other popular franchises – and the first pick was Ghostbusters.
With the demise of Botcon Hasbro has adopted a weird and wonderful approach to Transformers exclusives. For an undisclosed amount of time I used to get ready in the morning looking away from the mirror, trying to do my hair out the corner of my eye, so paranoid was I that a floating head above a river of slime was going to appear at any minute.

The first Ghostbusters movie introduced me to the sarcasm of Bill Murray and made me want to write movies, whilst Ghostbusters 2 gave me a fear of pictures so strong that I couldn’t even have the 1990 GB2 calendar on any of the months which featured Vigo. Big Trouble in Little China, Aliens and the Ghostbusters series, all personal faves. My favourite movies are almost all from that period. Even the t-shirt I am wearing now has the faded image of the Defenders of the Earth logo upon it. My articles are filled with references to 80’s snack foods and footballers that most other people don’t remember.
The Goonies theme blares from my iPod as I jog over the bridge on my way to work in a morning. You see, beyond Transformers, most of my interests stem from the 80’s. The other day whilst reminiscing about how I am still haunted by a trip to the cinema to see Ghostbusters 2, the day before my birthday in 1989 – I had to concede they were probably correct. A while back, in one of the funnier angry comments I’ve had on this site, somebody called me “the most 80’s obsessed person on the planet”.
