Should I Back the HasLab Vintage Collection Cantina?

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

QUESTION OF THE DAY ⚡ Are you backing the Cantina? If not, what extra's would need to be included to do so? Let us know! 👇🏼 *****

[@jeffrussell2981]

Yes! Standard and deluxe

[@TimHayes]

Yes a Standard one, if I had more money and space I'd have backed a deluxe. I already have 3 Nevarro ones, so I want to combine those to the Mos Eisley one! :)

[@margaretwood152]

Out of everything on offer, I really only want...... *_The WOLFMAN_* (No Wolfman, no Backing)

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

@ToysOfTheJedi I only buy Black Series. Doesn't mean I'm not keeping an eye out on this.

[@tjross1313]

Remember that time I didn't get a Sail Barge and then cried for the rest of my life? Yeah. Back the bar!

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Couldn't have put it better. Barely any available this side of the pond, and I missed it.

[@benjamindobalina7493]

Comparing the sail barge to this is blasphemy. I funded the Khettana, happily. I funded 2 of these Cantina's in order to sell one to cover the cost and possibly get one free or cheap. This bar is NOT impressive. Hasbro is lazy and greedy. If you guys can't admit that, then good luck facing yourselves in the mirror.

[@rishoutfield2043]

You've got a smooth delivery and a cool accent. Looking forward to your Cantina patrons video.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Cheers pal, looking forward to getting the patrons video filmed.

[@krp2nyte]

I'm backing the deluxe as well. I do wish they made it look more like a building than just a set.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Nice, the deluxe set will look amazing when set up. I'm hoping yo have the display space to do it as the full bar in the middle and alcoves both sides. Again, it's that modularity that prevents it from having the exterior, but I may go the Diorama Workshop route and add a plaster of Paris shell once I have a layout I like.

[@DMSL2007]

Yes you should if you collect TVC and like dioramas. I backed it.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

😂 Would have been a much shorter video if I'd gone with that... You're not wrong though 😅

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

Good review 😊

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Thank you, BTW 😁

[@mustang_orbit170]

Thanks for the run-down. Given that it is such a High End/Definitive item, all the Alcove Outside Walls should be textured/weathered. Not just the main entrance. Dioramas could extend to the sides of the cantina as well, with textured/weathered walls. Sun scorched from the Twin Suns

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I know what you mean, they could have done the exterior, and I may go the Diorama Workshop route and add a plaster of Paris shell once I have a layout I like.

[@legion078]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! My brother and I just backed 5 units and they were immediately added to the count. We really want this project to happen and it's almost there with 7,458 as of this post. Let's keep our fingers crossed for many more! Best wishes from Germany!

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Wow, 5!!! Thats incredible. Are you building some kind of Mega cantina with that? 😆 I take it a couple of those are for resale afterwards

[@drentrop9525]

Resellers are getting this Haslab backed.. says enough about the state of the SW collecting world, demand is ATL

[@Masonicbrother]

@@drentrop9525 I don't care who backs it, as long as it gets backed, it only helps all of us by getting those tiers unlocked. Everyone that wants it for the "cheap" price of 4-500 bucks have already backed it or are backing it before July 8th. Anyone waiting after that, will just have to suffer the ebay prices. Depending on how many get made, if it's low like the Sail Barge expect to pay well over 1k for it. If its plenty like The Ghost or Razer Crest than it will be a few hundred+ more. The Tonnika Sisters though will be worth a fortune on the aftermarket. 200+ each easy just to start. If it ends at just 8k-10k that means there will only be that many Tonnika Sisters in the world, dear lord that will be rare and in demand on day one. They will pay for the set alone lol.

[@benjamindobalina7493]

[@benjamindobalina7493]

HASBRO PULSE NEEDS TO SWEETEN THE POT BY INCLUDING ALL FIGURES WITHOUT TIER GOALS. Sorry OnlyOne- I usually agree with you but I'm starting to feel scammed by Hasbro..... It's July 4th and I just canceled my deluxe cantina order... Why? I told myself if it can hit just ONE tier, I'll keep the order, and it hasn't by design. I can tell that greedy Hasbro set this campaign for only 30 days to hit 11,000 for lousy Greedo, (a name better suited for the Hasbro Corporation) which is a hard sell, after we all just backed the Ghost. They released this campaign before we've even received the Ghost! (Which I spent $1000 on for 2). They know what they're doing. They want to give you the bare minimum, and charge more and more. I don't mind paying more, heck I'd buy 2 sets, but don't nickel and dime me. Just announce that ALL tiers are now included, and I'd buy 2. Or at least lower the tier amount, do something, shoot throw in Nabrum and I will fund 2 right now. Hasbro has barely placed any ads for this. I am still getting KZbin adds for the E-wing! What gives?

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

Just short of 7,500, 4 days, 20 hours. Definitely going to Fund.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Almost there...

[@benjamindobalina7493]

if it can hit a tier, i will re-back it.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

Usually a surge the last day. I don't know if it will hit tiers.

[@custodiancolorzoo870]

It will fund with flying colors & it will hit at least 2 tiers. Assuming it follows the pattern of all other HasLabs (including those that didn’t fund - which it is well ahead of despite the shorter funding window). It would have to be totally unique to not fund. Getting 6 figures is within reason when you compare to other campaigns. But it will hit all 3 if you fence sitters get on it and BACK IT ASAP. The more time we have the upswing, the more tiers we will hit. You have nothing to lose, you don’t get charged till the thing ends. And then you have 30 days to cancel. So just do it if you want it at all, otherwise you will be paying much more when you get full FOMO seeing everyone’s displays and those gold figures only available in this HasLab.

[@Randymountaine]

I live in a perpetual regret not getting a barge, no doing that again with the cantina.

[@ihthrs]

I am still debating. My issue is we haven't even received a shipping date for the Ghost, why are they barraging us with these Haslabs? Thank you for the most comprehensive explanation of the project I have seen yet.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I have no concern that they will come through with the Ghost as they have done with the other successful projects so far, but yes, having the best part of a grand tied up in product you haven't recieved is frustrating. I also backed the GI Joe Dragonfly and just had the delay notification email pushing it back to December. Again, frustrating, but I'd rather wait and have a better product when it does arrive. Thanks for your comment and I'm sure you'll love the Ghost when it arrives.

[@benjamindobalina7493]

Agreed. Hasbro is behaving like a plump, greedy, glutenous little toddler with no self control. Hasbro is thirstier than a camel for your cash, (they remind me of a pent up virgin on prom night), don't simp for Hasbro people.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

Its going to fund. With a little less than 5 days, it was at 90% about noon. I haven't checked it tonight yet. I only but Black Series so this was a pass for me.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

7,520 Backers so far, should pass easily, but yeah, I feel sorry for those who do collect both TVC and Black Series, thats a VERY expensive game.

[@Masonicbrother]

7,686 with 314 backers to go now. it will hit 8k either tonight or sometime tomorrow. Then the FOMO tidal wave will start to hit during the final 3 days. We will see how many tiers will unlock before it ends. It is certainly gonna fund, getting around 20 backer's an hour give or take. I backed the deluxe when it was first announced, i don't play that FOMO game.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I think you're right, 8k by morning sounds about right. Then it's just hoping it rockets to 17k over the final days. I can't wait to see all the photo's of this when it arrives.

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

And I'm still undecided can't find out if it has a ground base short of calling Hasbro pulse themselves tomorrow on Monday😅

[@Wizzard777]

Always wondered how much $$ Hasbro makes in interest, while holding on to the millions of $$ from backers till the toy gets released.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Not as much as you'd think. That money goes straight into development of the toy, some of it has already been spent of the 3D designs and prototype models. Their will be some held back for various stages of the production along the way. I doub't we'll ever get a breakdown from Hasbro though.

[@benjamindobalina7493]

Well, I will address something as far as their profits. So I could be way off, but if every one of the 14,000 people got the deluxe, quick math says Hasbro made 7 million dollars. So all of their BS excuses as to why there are no lights, floor, roof, sounds like a lot of spin to me.

[@JediHangout]

I backed the deluxe set. I am keeping my eyes open and right now it's very close to 8000 backers. There is only 4 days left.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I think it'll hit 8k by morning with the way it's been moving today. Then it's just hoping it rockets to 17k over the final days.

[@JediHangout]

@@ToysOfTheJedi I just checked and it's 256 away from 8000, it may hit before the morning. It's been going up very quickly this week. I sure do hope it hits 17K but it does not then I am happy at least with the Deluxe set with the figures. I want to create a Tatooine world building.

[@carloscunningham319]

I'm backing it ,,its a must I've looked into people who do 3-D printing an they claim it'll cost thousands of dollars too have one printed plus they claim if printed,the bar isn't going too be as detailed,,,so haslab Cantina is cheaper plus more detailed so I'm backing the deluxe set,,I just hope we hit all the tiers

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I agree, the printing will get you some of the way there (at a cost) but even then, it still needs assembly and painting and they can't mass produce 3D printed super articulated figures (yet).

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

It's already reached the 8000 backers pushing for 11,000 now a day ta go mate...

[@CC-dw9ch]

did you know that LEGO did a fantastic cantina set not too long ago? it had bloody everything! Including 21 mini figures! I think that is a much better version of the cantina. Though the price is similar. You get what you pay for I suppose.

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

That Lego set is amazing, but Lego for many reasons, can give the customer 'more'. The offset comes in terms of realism.

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

But I'm just unsure as of yet how would I build a floor for it

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

I know Cardboard Galaxy will be making a card version which will look great and give a flat floor to pose figure on. I'll be going for that plastic mesh over foam board so I can put pegs in the figures feet and push the other end of the peg through the mesh and into the foam board. See this video at 18:32 for what I mean >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3iaq4Wwmr2So9ksi=CChsSPUcH8OCR2iD

[@davidconley5758]

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Excellent question. I believe it's free if you have Pulse Premium. In the UK is £10, in the US I think it's calculated based on your location

[@GrandMoffPopu]

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

[@ToysOfTheJedi]

Thats something a lot of us are battling, display space. Me, I will MAKE space for it 😅

[@custodiancolorzoo870]

Just back it! You can sell it off later if you decide you don’t want it or can’t make space. The figures alone are going to be worth what this sells for now. And if you decide you want it later, you will pay MUCH MORE. Trust me. I backed 2 - 1 deluxe, 1 basic. I will sell carded figures and pay for one. And then piece it out if I need to. People will want a single alcove for their displays, so they will be worth much.

Price is why I won't get it. I feel it is way over priced! Much of the cantina has already been released, I have cups, chairs, tables, and the bar with stools already, so many of these molds are already created!

You haven’t been paying attention to the other HasLabs if you believe this. Even the unsuccessful campaigns prove this will get to the 2nd tier. But with folks like you holding it back, it won’t reach the third. It can, as other campaigns funded 3 tiers even with less orders than the Cantina has now. Batman is still in play!!!!

$500?? You collectors destroyed the toy industry and also have serious issues if you're willing to pay this price. This is cool but $150 at most and that's pushing it.

@@ToysOfTheJedi There not much to it. Tooling sure but they could easily have put this in the stores. I just checked my GI JOE Cobra Terror Drome box and and the sticker price was $49.99. That's $143 adjusted for inflation. And thats larger with tons of parts. The USS Flagg adjusted for inflation is still below $300. $150 is not unrealistic.
