This lack of minimates makes me annoyed

Yesterday, after finishing my shift in the emergency room, I went to the Toys R Us across the street to try my luck at finding some Ghostbusters minimates. Hanging alone, surrounded by Marvel and Terminator minimates, was a Venkman/Energized Terror Dog 2-pack and nothing else.

Sigh.

Since I currently own 2 terror dogs and a slimed Venkman, I'd have to say this was the least exciting GBMM pack I could have found. I still got it, because I've got a problem, but I'm fine with that. I just can't justify spending the incredibly gouged prices on eBay for these and the 2 series 1 packs I didn't get.

Now, for some good news!

F: So, the focus right now seems to be on the movie versions of all of the characters, but what about The Real Ghostbusters cartoon? Is there a current direction and time frame for those possible figures?

SN: Well, nothing that we can announce right now.

F: Would you integrate those into an overall Ghostbusters Classics line?

SN: We have some plans and the fans will know soon enough. We are actually looking at the old toy line for some inspiration on things like ghosts and equipment.

F: I always loved those clear PVC pack-in ghosts from the animated line.

SN: Absolutely. Ghostbusters is still really early so we can’t divulge too much information right now, but it is going to be a lot of fun!

Holy crap. They are looking at the old toy line for inspiration. I can't explain how seriously excited this makes me without invoking this classic moment in television history. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but their emphasis on ghosts and equipment might mean they'll re-release some of the clear PVC ghosts from the original line. Of course, since these ghosts were re-released within that line amongst different series, I basically have them all, but that does not dissuade me from being excited about the prospects.

I'm also pretty sure I posted that exact question on the Fwoosh's "Ask Mattel" thread, so that pleases me as well.

Finally, I'm currently watching on eBay 3 Slimed Heroes, 1 Power Pack Egon (included with the Slimed Heroes and mislabeled as such because, presumably, the seller cannot read) and Ecto-1A, currently at $50. I'll let you know if I bite the bullet.
