To my generation, Salacious Crumb is an accessory - it was always bundled with Jabba The Hutt. I'm 50. Putting it on a card does not make it an action figure.

[@mariotovar2173]

I agree. Look what Hasbro eventually did with adding the child with the Mando figure. -The Disneyland neighbor (turning 52 in January)

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yeah i can agree with that, actually i was hoping he would be included with the black series bib fortuna. but like i said, because of that unattainable TVC revenge carded crumb, id take one on a card

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

haha thanks man!

[@RinaJosscy]

You are right, I think timing was off here as well as the tiers to boost it. Maybe if they had release it at the beginning of 2022 when the book of boba fett is still running on disneyplus. The hype would have been higher.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

well now that you mention it, maybe some boba fett, fennec shand and throne set or something wouldve been a better idea

[@GeoffreyToday]

I was honestly shocked when the Razor Crest was offered as a Haslab exclusive. The iconic main vehicle from the most popular piece of Star Wars media at the time, and they made it a Haslab exclusive? That sounds like the kind of decision that gets someone fired.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yea for real, im thinking that they may release a cheaper one down the line

[@kaos6312]

I'm hoping this is a wake up call to Hasbro not only for the pricing of figures, but for new sculpts and figures as well instead of repaints on top of repaints. Hasbro should listen to the collectors on what issues are going on. Would be neat to see Hasbro directly respond to people after this HasLab fails...

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

if they respond, itll definitely be our fault

[@shannonpotratz489]

They've already responded now by offering a Malakili if they reach 9k but I think it's too little too late...

[@adams6473]

@@EdgedShadow for all the tiers? Nope

[@shannonpotratz489]

This 100%! Hasbro got seriously greedy with this one. I wanted the Rancor, but at $350, not only was it maniacally overpriced but the tiers were laughable. I might have considered this at somewhere around $200 but as stated in the video, this was nowhere near the value of the Razor Crest at the same price. And yeah, running this campaign concurrently with two other crowd-funding projects is just bad form. Did Hasbro really think there's no crossover in the fandom? No way most fans can afford to back more than one of these at a time, let alone three and at these outrageous prices. I hate seeing the Rancor fail but I'm glad the fans spoke up on this one... Haslab needed to be humbled...

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

i 100% agree with everything you just said

[@StephenSepulveda]

I have been waiting patiently since they revealed the other tears to see your video and your reaction, you hit the nail on the head, perfect video and yes you’re exactly right the teachers should have been potentially the gamorian guard first then Luke Skywalker then Ula then the rancor keeper and the overall price of the rancor should not have been over $300. The background and bones should have just been included as part of the packaging. You’re exactly right about Hasbro taking us for granted and being completely lazy by re-issuing unoriginal crap. I love the black series but as of late I’ve sold half of my collection in order to start collecting marvel legends because quite frankly Hasbro Star Wars just keeps re-painting and re-issuing garbage rather than making accessible new figures. CKC you’re awesome love all your videos thank you very much.

The haslab has the potential to be something very special. Instead of making it a publicity stunt to make the largest figures ever they should focus more on giving us multiple figures or play sets that we've always wanted and haven't got and as long as we're paying for it upfront they should be able to produce whatever it is the people want.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

The only thing that made me say wow when the Rancor was announced was the price. I’d like to have it in my collection but I feel like Hasbro is taking advantage of me with this whole deal. They should have done a better job with the whole situation.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

exactly man

[@mitchellvf1j509]

Great video man. I was totally gonna back the rancor when it was 1st announced. I figured the high price was going to guarentee the tier unlocks were gonna be new figures. Oola and keeper should have been included or at least the 1st 2 tiers. I don't know what haslab is thinking here and I don't want a $350 rancor if I can't get keeper. Oola I get because Disney is afraid of slavery references but I still want one. There's literally no excuse for not including rancor keeper. I'm not backing this.

exactly bro! thanks man!

[@adams6473]

How is Hasbro ripping anyone off with repacks?? You and you only choose what to buy. If you buy a figure you already have, that's on you. Nothing wrong with repacks. There are new collectors out there. Older collectors who may have missed a figure. Just because you may have a certain item, doesn't mean a company should never repack. The rancor is definitely not over priced. The arms alone are about 4 BS figures. $100 easily right there.

There marketing team is just a bunch of 20-something SJWs...

This would have been way better and cheaper from any of the import companies, MAFEX would have gotten this right and there would be no tiers but they would release all the related figures individually (yes, it would take a decade, but still).

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

@@CANTKILLCHEWIE Agreed, that way they could have reduced the initial cost to something palatable, like $225, because the cost to them would just be the Rancor and one new figure, the Keeper. Just release the rest in a wave downstream as regular carded figs, they could even name it the Rancor wave and have Oola, Luke, Lando, the Gamorrean Guard, etc. in the wave. Thanks for the vid.

The price is definitely the biggest issue. Even though they just added in the rancor keeper you need to be able to see the value in the core haslab product since the stretch goals are not guaranteed and especially with this campaign if it happens to limp over the finish line that's all it's going to do it's going to be hard pressed to reach even the first tier which is why they are including the keeper with the rancor straight up because even they know that's the best it will do. Just barely scrape by but it will be a much better message if it doesn't get backed at all.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yup exactly

[@WEHJrsCubsAudition]

It's a shame that HasLabs' whole model (which WizKids is now doing to their miniatures line) is "We see how much these pieces are going for on the after market - how do we gouge for that price upfront on day one?"

Hasbro can't start charging Hot Toys prices. Even Hot Toys prices are insane, but the quality is there. Hasbro really needs to look at the marketplace.

[@old_newbie9498]

Same thing is happening/happened in the Transformer toy space (also Hasbro). Hasbro was initially putting out cheap, plasticky, grade school engineering toys (based on new wave & Bay transformers series that no one cared about). The brand was pretty much deaded...but then, a few 3rd party companies stepped in and starting making the "grown up" versions of original 80's Transformers toys (using superior transformation engineering, high quality plastic and die cast metal, life like color and detail, etc..) and really sparked the new retro Transformers market. Hasbro then had to step up and expand its Masterpiece line. Grown up versions of G1 Transformers, up to Transformers: the movie sell like hotcakes, because it respects the brand and the fans that started it all, instead of abusing it.

I would buy two Because I display specific releases that I really like and I personally know over ten sw collectors in Australia that are screaming for their own barge after Hasbros stuff up of the initial barge being offered only to u.s and Canada.

[@mariotovar2173]

Exactly! They already have the tooling. -By the way, I learned about the sale barge like many others one or two days before it’s cut off date. -The Disneyland neighbor (A 51-year-old fan)

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

hmmmm, interesting idea. i like that. id buy one

[@Phoenix2312]

@Ernest Muric Not just Australia... Here in the UK we have pissed off collectors too! One of my friends was going to back Unicron... Then he found out to get Unicron, He would have to travel to the United States to get it as Haslab's wont ship to the EU!!! Worse still... Third Party Unicron's came out that were BETTER QULAITY than Haslab's Attempt! He has now ordered one of them! Haslab's only cares about the Money... That's why they only ship to the US and Canada!!!! They don't care that their core collectors are INTERNATIONAL!

Yeah I was about to rant, but changed my mind. I was once a die hard SW 3 3/4inch collector. I transitioned to six inch BS line, Im cool with that. But the 3 3/4 line has alot wider selection of characters. Black series pretty much put out the same characters out over and over.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

haha yea black series loves its repacks

[@cowwcho]

Commenting after the fact that they decided to include Malakili. I've a "new collector" I've been collecting as a hobby since the day my friend sent me a pic on facebook of boba fett (my fave character) in the sdcc set. I was shocked at the idea of 6inch boba fett that i jumped into the world of collecting. I still have some 3.75 figs from my childhood,but i prefer the black series. On that note i never thought that the rancor would sell well due to the fact that i saw the 3.75 version on the shelves for months on end until a star wars clearance popped up. The first order tie fighter is something i was certain would sell,but that failed too til it went on clearance. Out of the 2 i would think a regular a Tie Fighter and or even Darth's Tie advanced would be a great Haslab. I pulled my cash from the Rancor i should prob use the money for more imports since you actually get what you pay for.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yea so they were asking ridiculous prices for the 3.75 rancors, i think the target excluisve set was like $150 or something crazy like that, so yes they shouldve taken note that the price needs to be affordable to get ppl on board. but yes, vader's tie or even lukes xwing, these seem like obvious choices

[@cowwcho]

@@CANTKILLCHEWIEyea we recently got the snowspeeder which pretty cool. I bought that as soon as i saw the review for it. I really want an x-wing since i already have an x-wing luke.

I just found these vids,im 44 and I have most of the 80's collection,yes most of it all still,none in boxes though,I played with them and also my two sons enjoyed some time with them also,from the flip apart speeders to millenium falcon and walkers,I even got a movie prop replica of a planet destroyer they are called in the new movies,cant remember what we called them inbthe original...usually "the big triangle one" ,the collection is still in great condition,I have all accessories to ,although they are all mixed up in a storage box so its pick a weapon any weapon,my favourites though gotta be the x wings,I got 8 ,blue and red and.2 I customized green,also 8 tie fighters amd original pilots,watching these vids I think I will take it out and actually pkay with them all again,yes play,at 44 its a gift to be time shifted back to being 10 years old making "pew pew" sounds

[@jcott6086]

I was sooo excited for this when announced. But then the price and repaints were announced, uh what? It would have been a slam dunk if they would have just made the Rancor keeper and another fig we DONT have yet. So sad...and the cardboard background. Something that should come as part of regular packaging?? Ball dropped instead of mike dropped!!

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

haha yup exactly

[@theviking6052]

The item alone needs to be worth the price! And the rancor alone was not worth 350! And I know a lot of collectors that collect both open and on card. One to rock and one to sock !

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yeah man exactly

[@charlesedwards9635]

The Black Series need a Rebel vehicle it's long overdue. X wing, falcon, Rebel transport. We black series collectors need something 🥺

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

i thought the xwing wouldve been a good idea

[@bruced4994]

Haven't seen any of your videos for a while Matt - you doing alright?

[@kurtk6592]

You nailed it again. I look forward to the follow-up in 4 days. On another note, the Barge blew up. The Razor Crest vaporized. The Rancor dead. Can't they make something that still exists in the Star Wars Galaxy that is thriving? Hint: A Sandcrawler, or Slave 1?

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

haha good point!

[@jonhahn6557]

The reason I don't collect Black Series is because they don't have very many aliens from the first six movies. I am so tired of human characters. As a kid I enjoyed the action scenes, the aliens, monsters, and vehicles the most and they seem to be moving away from that.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yeah for sure, id love that. the younger collectors think they are useless however and that may be why they are going away from that particularly in the black series

[@jonhahn6557]

@@CANTKILLCHEWIE I actually recently sold my entire 3.75 inch Star Wars collection and I don't regret it. I was so tired of waiting for creatures to be released to fill out spots and then also movie after movie comes out and is terrible and seems to be ruining Star Wars.

[@simplebidnessman]

Honest question, looking for clarification. Why are black series figures so expensive when Star Wars isn’t even that popular among kids anymore. And I mean like at all, kids don’t care about this stuff, so what are the adults doing buying overpriced figures? These figures should be an average of 18-20 bucks, this is ridiculous. A lot of the characters are like 3 feet tall in the movies. WHY ARE THEY $22?? And why is hasbro, a billion dollar company, asking for money to make figures that they then sell to you by taking your money again? How does that work and why do people fall for that?

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

so star wars has the biggest adult demographic of collectors for pretty much any other toy line some have been collecting for over 40 years. the regular price of the 6in figures was 18-20 until a couple months ago when hasbro raised the prices of all figures of their major toy lines including star wars black series. i agree that the smaller figures like yoda shouldnt also be regulaor price, especially since they charge more for "deluxe" figures that are larger, but thats unfortunately the case. also, out of all the licenses that hasbro has to pay for in order to manufacture figures from that IP, star wars is the most expensive which means they make less per sale of star wars figure than any other toy line, and ive heard its really not much at all. but the initial idea of haslab was agreat way to give collectors something larger that hasbro wouldnt normally chance making due to the risk of not selling enough to break even. it seems it has turned, however, judging by the rancor, into something where decisions concerning profit have trumped creative decisions which looks like has doomed this specific haslab. hopefully they get the message

[@maxsgeekdom8514]

and 8532 was the last of the update. plus they had lost all the backers, people rage quit afterwards, the current project tiers was 832

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yeah i saw man crazy

[@GeneralCloudhopper]

I'm one of the younger and newer collectors. I really do prefer the 6 in to the 3 in (mostly because I like using them and stop motion) but I'm personally not a big fan of the rinker. The color looks incredibly off to me

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yeah it seemed like some parts of the paint job were off

[@matsymonds8271]

Please let someone at Hasbro see this video. This haslab project is the final nail in the coffin for me. I've spent thousands of dollars on Star Wars toys, and now I'm done with collecting and selling all my stuff.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

dude i think a lot of other ppl feel the same way, hopefully they get the message

[@poopsterc]

If the three Haslab projects were spread out during the year I would probably get all three. Instead I'm getting only the Proton pack because that seems like the best value.

right? so stupid on their part

[@jesserussell9286]

Silver Surfer for the Galactus haslab is not a new mold it's a repack of a Walgreens clusive, the other figure he showed has the same body mold as a hundred other Marvel Legends female figures with a new head. Just sayin.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

yes thats correct they are not new molds, i misspoke. but they are new figures. frankie nova has never been released, and even though it may use old parts, ML has been around so long they hasbro doesnt need to always create an entirely newly molded sculpt for a new figure. the silver surfer has a new head sculpt, new paint job, and new accessories on top of which itll cost you over $40 to buy the old one

[@jesserussell9286]

@@CANTKILLCHEWIE love the channel and hope you do a couple of top 10 lists for the end of the year! I thought the Silver Surfer was just a repack I didn't know about the new paint and if the head sculpt is any different I can't tell lol keep making lol

[@katiepersons6575]

I do think Jedi Luke needed a remold. Hoth Luke with his butterfly joints and double elbow joints makes a HUGE difference for posing with two handed weapons like lightsabers. Those old Black Series molds feel like dinosaurs in terms of pose-ability. Thankfully this one will get a wide release.

[@CANTKILLCHEWIE]

thats interesting
