Description
Custom particle pack & gun are available from BrickForge.[link]
Custom hose made by me using a section of 4.5v battery pack cable.
I chose to use a CCL b/c I do no own the design of the pack or gun.
I hold no stake in BrickForge sales. This is simply to show my customization only.

Thanks Best advice I can give would be to find an old charger cable from just about anything. I say old b/c the newer phone charger cables are way too thick. I think I used one from an old rc car charger. You just need to cut the cable into equal sections for each pack, remove the copper wires w/ some pliers (so to not cut up your hands) & then heat the ends so you can stretch the ends onto the "pegs" w/ a little bit of force. Twisting & stretching are worked the best. Easiest way to make sure your length is correct is to have the gun holstered so you can bend the cable to emulate how it looked in the movies. I wouldn't recommend gluing the cable on. The cables are rather stiff so glue wouldn't hold for long if at all on such a small area. Hope that helps.

i heard that lego wants to do ghostbusters sets but they don't think they will make much money cause there is nothing really going on with ghostbusters. maybe next year they will do sets cause of the new ghostbusters movie

I heated the cord ends w/ a lighter & stretched them over the extended portions of the parts. The cable is completely removable still. Soldering them would've melted the pieces.

The pack & gun are separate under the equipment category.

Brickforge did a great job w/ the packs and guns, I bought four of each pack and four of each gun of the black, grey and dark grey sets
