It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything on this one. I’m at our big local con this weekend and saw that a dealer has one of these in hand for sale. He was asking $150 so it was an easy pass, but I suspect this set may be on its way soon.

I just opened these up, overall I love the set. I still wish Enoch would have been a separate single-carded release, but I'm glad I bought three.

I also realized upon opening these up and adding them to my inventory spreadsheet that I now have 1000 figures/vehicles from TVC 2.0 in my collection. :-X

Sweet, that's a nice score! The only extra thing I've ever gotten from Amazon that we didn't order was some crappy shower caddy that was sent to our house in Denver, addressed to someone else in Georgia. I'd much rather have some Vaders or Stormtroopers.

I got my Leia's today from Amazon. What an incredible figure, even with the limited poseability of the legs due to the plastic skirt. The likeness is stunning and I really like the swappable hoods. I'm glad I got an extra. I'd still prefer a soft-goods skirt overall but the aesthetics of this version are great. If they put out a softgoods version I'd be dumb enough to buy 2-3 more.

Wait, did they send you the whole case on accident?!

Thanks for the breakdown on Luke. I didn't have one loose, I feel like it is close enough to the original that I won't go backend track an old one down.

This is the second Haslab I've been on the fence about (the first being the Khetanna which I did not back.)

I will probably back this, but I won't do the deluxe.  I wonder how many people are still on the fence like me?

In the initial excitement after the official reveal, I was a firm Yes, but over time my enthusiasm has cooled to Probably No. I’d still love the Tonnikas but the rest of it doesn’t do too much for me. Maybe I will get caught up in the FOMO again by the end, but it’s hard to say right now. I hope it funds as many tiers as possible though regardless.

Luke & R2 arrived for me today from Amazon. Decent repack choices overall. I'd still like a new astromech mold at some point but I don't hate this one. Vader & (lots) of Stormtroopers are on their way from Pulse.

54
I did three sets as well with the intent to order a few more sets later. With the Cantina (hopefully) charging in the next few weeks and our big local con the week of 4th of July... that might end up be MUCH later.

I was thinking about using those extra helmets from the Deluxe Tatooine Boba Fett on the extra Enoch bodies to make them into more standard troopers, then I'll just swap out the kama for a belt.

55
Just got a notice from Pulse that this set is shipping soon, along with ANH Vader & the Stormtrooper repack... It's going to be an expensive next few weeks.  :-X

I feel like he has to be on a regular card, even if that means a new larger blister, still technically in the deluxe assortment, & at the deluxe price point. If it is a boxed deluxe figure instead of a standard cardback the "Finish the 96" crowd will lose their minds. (I'd be disappointed too.)

I wonder how much of this early stall has to do with the Cantina itself (size, price, lowered interest in OT from newer collectors or newer collectors without enough other figures to fill it in) VS. other factors like it not being revealed at Comic-Con/Celebration, there are other HasLabs that haven't shipped yet.

Hasbro put out another promo video for the Cantina today with alternate display tips. It was a good idea for them to show how it displays on a standard shelf. Maybe that will help bump the backer numbers up a bit.

That's a good guess. It feels like whoever it is, it will be one that The Black Series gets too, it could also be the Sith-looking fella who seems to be pulling the strings with Mae. I feel like if it were just one of the other Jedi, there's no reason they wouldn't have announced it on the initial livestream.

Yeah, I'm definitely not expecting to pull a profit on the second set (unless I keep it forever, I don't have the space for that). I am just hoping to get as much back as I can to help offset the cost of having one set of loose & carded figures. If I can get $325-$350 total for the rest of it I'd be ecstatic.

I am a sucker and backed two sets as well - One "deluxe" for me, and one "standard" for the extra figures. I wonder what the best option to sell the second playset to recoup some of the cost will be - 1) whole, minus the carded figures or 2) break up each of the modules so that people who didn't want to go for the full cantina can get just a piece?

It might be time to officially rename this thread, too. :)
