Agreed.  They even turn up as the interiors of the Republic Venator class Star Destroyers in Clone Wars.  It seems like such a no-brainer to go there.

Interesting results!  I wonder what might get knocked off of the list in 2024?  There definitely seems to be a movement building around Baylan Skoll, and I would be genuinely surprised if Hasbro didn't release him this year.

I'm hopeful that the Epic Hero series is going to be able to offer some lower cost vehicles that might flesh out the line.  Does anyone really think that Hasbro might offer a TVC version of Vane's snub fighter from TM season 3?  Which is one of the reasons why I'm hopeful for that line.  Maybe it can offer us vehicles that might be on par with or a little better than the ones released in the REBELS line?

As for $150 - $200 vehicles?  I have some hope there.  The U-Wing is on my list of vehicles that might work in that range.  And so is the Imperial Gunship that's been in REBELS, TM season 3, and AHSOKA.

Seeing how nothing has been made from the Sequel Trilogy in the past couple of years, this is a copy and paste job.

Adam Savage seems to be making the rounds with some of the legendary filmmakers of Lucasfilm.  Here he sits down for an hour long conversation with Ben Burtt.  And it was really enlightening to take in his perspective on the history of sound design with Lucasfilm.

Adam Savage's Tested - The Iconic Sounds of Star Wars with Ben Burtt

Someone posted a list of their desired Haslabs on anotheR Site, which Jayson made the comment that one will be the next Haslab.

List below:

Episode I: Naboo Royal Starship
Episode II: LAAT/C Gunship Carrier
Clone Wars: Twilight
Episode III: Turbo Tank
Bad Batch: Havoc Marauder
Solo: Lando's Millenium Falcon
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Inquisitor Shuttle
Andor: Luthen Rael's Fondor Haulcraft
Rogue One: U-Wing
Episode IV: Mos Eisley Cantina
Episode V: GR-75 Medium Transport
Episode VI: Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle
Mandalorian: Mandalorian Gauntlet Assault Craft
Book of Boba Fett: Boba's Rancor
Ahsoka: Ahsoka's T-6 Jedi Shuttle
Episode VII: First Order Troop Carrier

LOL, that was me!  I threw a lot of $**t at the wall, and something might have stuck.  So when Jayson confirmed that Hasbro was looking at one of these as a possible Haslab I wasn't terribly surprised.

Out of the whole list I think you can narrow this down to 5 or 6 that have better odds than the others.  As for when it might happen?  Your guess is as good as mine.  One thing that I will say from the outset is that it would be nice if Hasbro delivered the Ghost before launching another TVC  Haslab campaign.

Beyond that?  I'm of the opinion that vehicles that have been made before in the modern era might get struck from the list.  That would eliminate:
Episode I: Naboo Royal Starship
Episode III: Turbo Tank
Solo: Lando's Millenium Falcon
Rogue One: U-Wing
Episode VI: Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle


So then I think it might come down to relevance.  Which of these has NOT appeared in entertainment within the past 2-3 years?
Episode II: LAAT/C Gunship Carrier
Clone Wars: Twilight
Episode V: GR-75 Medium Transport
Episode VII: First Order Troop Carrier


That would leave:
Bad Batch: Havoc Marauder
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Inquisitor Shuttle
Andor: Luthen Rael's Fondor Haulcraft
Episode IV: Mos Eisley Cantina (also appears in season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian)
Mandalorian: Mandalorian Gauntlet Assault Craft
Book of Boba Fett: Boba's Rancor
Ahsoka: Ahsoka's T-6 Jedi Shuttle


So what are potentially the weakest selections on that list of seven?  I would eliminate the Inquisitor shuttle and Boba Fett's Rancor.  We never see the interior of the Scythe class shuttle.  And after the failure of the Black Series Rancor Haslab, I can't see Hasbro offering ANOTHER Rancor Haslab.  Beyond that?  What might be an item that Hasbro would NOT want locked behind a Haslab paywall?  For me that's the Cantina.  I could see that being offered like the TVC Jabba's / Bib's / Boba's throne room.  But I do see the potential where Hasbro might consider offering a Cantina denizen figure dream pack as a lower cost Haslab.

With all of that criteria taken into account I think it would narrow the field to include:
Bad Batch: Havoc Marauder
Andor: Luthen Rael's Fondor Haulcraft
Mandalorian: Mandalorian Gauntlet Assault Craft
Ahsoka: Ahsoka's T-6 Jedi Shuttle

What other possible criteria could cut a vehicle from Haslab consideration?  I do see the potential where Hasbro might not want to lock the Gauntlet behind a Haslab paywall.  And that's because Gauntlets show up in multiple media, and they're numerous.  There are a number of them in the Mandalorian fleet in The Mandalorian season 3.  Would Hasbro want to deny themselves the potential for multiple sales per customer?

So, I think it might come down to these three:
-Havoc Marauder (The Bad Batch)
-Fondor Haulcraft (Andor)
-T-6 Shuttle (Ahsoka)

The third and final season of The Bad Batch is reportedly coming towards the end of 2024.  Would there be sufficient support for a Havoc Marauder?  That's unclear.  Especially since Hasbro has only offered one member of Clone Force 99 in The Vintage Collection.  Everything else in TVC has been another Clone, and not a member of the Bad Batch.  Would Hasbro do what they did with the Ghost and offer the team in conjunction with a Haslab campaign?  The precedent is there.  And if Hasbro waits to launch the campaign after they deliver the Ghost, then the Havoc Marauder might be more topical.

That would leave the Fondor Haulcraft and Ahsoka's T-6 as the remaining ones to consider.  We've just come off of the AHSOKA series season one, and I think the support would be there.  And if we're looking at the criteria of what might be timely after the Ghost gets delivered?  ANDOR season 2 looks like it's coming in 2025.  The Fondor haulcraft is likely to return.  So the potential for it to be topical is substantial.

I'm interested to hear what other people think.  Because my methodology could be off here.  And it's definitely worth people voicing their own opinions here in the spirit of dialogue.

Without a doubt, one of the most recognizable creators from the Original Trilogy was ILM model maker Lorne Peterson.  Check out this fantastic interview that Adam Savage, himself an ILM veteran, has with Lorne about the nuts and bolts of creating some of the iconic miniatures from the Original Trilogy.

It was interesting to hear Adam mention that he replicated some of the OT miniature work for Galoob.

I found two Ross stores, but both are close to an hour's drive away from me.  It's didn't seem worth it to make the drive.
