Oh boy that video bring me so much joy, boys Im wearing my pack that way next convention lol

[ThrowingChicken]

I'd love to have that pack. I'd repaint the shit out of it, but it's still got some history.

[KCGhostbuster]

Agreed.

[The Stiff]

I was able to find a couple of old theads dating back to 2006 on this pack and auction:

Exoray says that it was a pack made by Venkman71 that was paired with a real COA from a different pack. Profiles in History was informed that the pack was not screen-used and the auction was pulled.

He also had a screengrab from the Profiles in History auction (an oddly large bmp file, which I've tried to shrink):

This is a very specific example on how people out there are trying to swindle fans. It actually makes me sick on how some crook is trying to pass this off as a screen used pack after the atrocious paint job that was done.

How can you even wear an ALICE frame upside down on your back? I didn't think it would be possible. There are no words to describe this guy..

[gbrob]

Not to mention the thrower falling to the ground constantly.

The bottle in this picture didn't help matters I think.

[CPU64]

I don't think this guy even watched any of the GB movies to begin with.

[Phish4dinner]

Well its safe to say you just figured out why the thrower looks as if it fell to the ground multiple times... It looks like Dizzy Gillespies trumpet

[CPU64]

And they're snappy about it too!

"Yes, you caught us - we know absolutely nothing about Proton Packs. We're guilty of not watching the movie. If anyone has any questions or comments not pertaining to the fact that it's upside down, let us know."

LOL

[kevinj319]

He must be the same guy responsible for the Sanctum of Slime cover art. It all makes sense now.

I know someone here asked the question that brought on that response. So who's the wise guy that made me laugh when I read that?

[fixxer]

How does one go about purchasing one of these said 'Upside Down' Packs??

I require one as my head protrudes from my anus and not my neck......and seeing as this pack is covered in red, does that mean it goes faster??

[Zack]

Rusty split loom lol

[CPU64]

Ribbon cable looks like its covered in blood. Maybe this could be the pack in the zombie infestation GB comics. haha

[janderson0719]

He mentions that he never saw the movie so that's why it's upside down but all he had to do was look at the freakin' labels and see that the writing is upside down I'm insulted by this bid...can't believe this is gonna sell...

[cowbybill]

Hopefully whomever buys it is going to restore it to it's former glory.
Sounds like the people selling it aren't that bright though.

Maybe he thought the kidney pad was a choker or neck brace?

[Daniel Welch]

The best part is that there's weathering where there shouldn't be any, like the loom and ribbon cable. Not to mention the fact that in the close up pictures, you can tell that all that garbage is painted on. Why would plastic and fiberglass rust?

[jackdoud]

You mean by turning it right-side up?

[Ferrariracerjv7]

Did anyone see the tool on eBay trying to sell a proton pack while wearing it upside down? HAHA! Anyways...besides the fact that he is a complete dolt, is that pack a Profiles in History pack? If anyone hasn't seen it here is the eBay number. Item #: 250796467916

Yeah, we noticed: http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtop ... =2&t=25252

[Ketchum]

Thats what she said. Now really thats what she said. I even quoted it.

[Ferrariracerjv7]

Yeah I hadn't realized that this thread existed when I posted lol. It's sacrilegious what they have done! It's like hanging a cross upside down.

That's just it the original packs were not weathered.

[Daniel Welch]

I saw an original pack on display in December, even after 27 years, an authentic pack doesn't look like that.

[Ferrariracerjv7]

Does anyone else think that this pack should be returned to v71 so it can be returned to it's glory and it's rightful owner?

[Vincenzo330]

Taking up a collection has actually been discussed. I offered to put in $100 but no one else chimed in so it probably won't happen.

[Ectomac]

The pack that used to be on display at Planet Hollywood in Nashville (now closed down) was hung upside down in the display case.

[CPU64]

Would you expect better from people who decorate restaurants?
They don't care. Look at FRIDAY'S and Ruby Tuesdays. The walls are all decorated with vintage stuff which are bolted to the walls. (I've seen a classic electric guitar with 4 screws through it)
