My takeaway from this is less Lucas era vs Disney Era, and more vehicles vs playsets.

We know there are a finite number of action figure collectors left in the market. Shrinking production numbers and rising prices have shown us that the last few years.

The fact that the Ghost and the Razorcrest could sell 20k+ units would indicate there is a market BEYOND action figure buyers for, really cool, really detailed vehicles as standalone display pieces that don't require an action figure collection to look good on display.

Sadly that just isn't there for a playset. The Cantina needs action figures in context to become a cool display. That costs them a huge chunk of previous HasLab buyers.

Not unsurprisingly, the numbers for the Cantina right now look a whole lot like the gleaned sales figures for the Boba Fett Throne Room playset. 10k or so seems to be the market for a diorama playset.

The next 24 hours will give good insight into the "HasLab as an exclusive action figure delivery sysystem. If figures start unlocking and we gain several thousand more backers, then to me that says figure collectors have just gotten comfortable with the prospect of $67-$133 per figure. Which I honestly don't know how to feel about.

This has been so interesting to watch play out.

It made it!

Also, we can't really 0say whether that surge was because it was the last minute (which seems to be a regular thing) or if it was because of the Yak Face. 

The Yakface was added on March 21st, and the campaign ended on April 3rd. If you look at Barge graphs, it was flat and had stalled out under 3,000 backers until Yakface, and from there it slopes upward and then gets a little bigger on the last day, but not the huge spike like more recent Haslabs have had.

It was definitely the addition of Yakface that sold the Barge.

Of course they are going to do Kelnacca...where do you think the new legs for Chewbacca are coming from??? 

On Rebelscum, Jayson further clarified the 6 figures contain no main characters, as well as saying 3 of them are aliens...but not how those 3 break down among included or unlocks.

From your keyboard to Hasbro's ears...

I still favor the interpretation that Cheers was a reference to John Ratzenberger, so it is obviously an Echo Base playset. (Also ties in to the pucture they used for the X-Wing Troop Builder pipeline.)

(And yes this is not serious either.)

They are pretty bulky and missing some black paint, especially the visible white neck. And they have hexagonal weapon ports on their arms. These all detract from really displaying with other more "realistic" modern figures.

That said, I bought 2 to pose ironically squaring off with some POTF2 Rebel Fleet Troopers. They are much better in that setup than other modern Stormtroopers or POTF2 ones, which have aged very poorly.
