2025 HasLab Mos Eisley Cantina

[Rob]

I think you would have to nix all the alcoves and entry area and just do the bar to get it to fit on a 12" deep shelf, and then there wouldn't be much room for figures.

This is definitely not 12" deep shelf friendly.

Yeah I'm wondering if I could do something silly like just not attach the diagonal piece and bar, and then sort of spread them out a little bit to create a bit of a Cantina area in a 12" shelf, rather than trying to have it overhang or whatever.  It'll be an interesting challenge.  I'm going to buy one regardless, but I have nearly 5000 figures on 12" deep shelves, I'm not going to go moving some of them onto a coffee table or whatever just to have it be displayed in full.

Meanwhile, as far as backing it... Looks like my free shipping just expired and will need to be renewed before I back this.  I'm thinking I'm suddenly in no rush to place my order, since waiting until I need to order something else can just draw out how soon I need to re-up my 12 months again.

So we are look at either a table or custom shelf for this thing.  At this point you could probably get something built to house both this and the Sail Barge.  Makes the decision a bit tougher.  I still have dozens of totes in the basement taking up space.  I don't see how I can pass this up though.

I’m in the same boat as I imagine many others are, incredibly excited about all of this but have no idea where it will go. That said, I’ll be backing as well. Still trying to decide which version to go with and if I need the extra “side” or not.

I’ve always told myself, with all the things I collect and try to display, OT, 3 and 3/4” Star Wars would be the last to go. I’m in on that segment until the end. I think this whole thing looks pretty great, and although yes it would be nice if it was considerably cheaper, it isn’t unexpected.

Although I don’t regret backing any of them, the more of these we get I wonder if I should have passed on the Razor Crest and Ghost. It’s getting to the point where you would just need a separate building or shed to display them all properly. I already have 90% of my vehicles, as well as the Jabba throne room packed away. Time to make some choices to free up room.

We passed 3k a little while ago - not bad for the first day considering this is squarely targeted at the old man collector segment.

[Scott]

Any idea on where the Cantina Band is supposed to be?  I’m imagining it’s in a space opposite the door behind the bar.  It would have been nice to get a small stage or riser for them

[Rob]

The top of the stairs might be a good place?

[Nicklab]

If you're looking at the space from the entrance?  I would say the second or third alcove on the right.  But the funny thing about the scene is that you can never really place the band anywhere specific relative to the other characters.  And their space does seem to have a small riser, as well.

[Scott]

Looks like the maps point to an alcove in the Deluxe section of the playset

[CorranHorn]

I was looking at the bandstand alcove situation yesterday and the pic Scott posted has the proper spot for the band. It’s supposed to be slightly larger than the seat alcoves so what is coming in the playset will not be accurate if that is a concern anyone has. There should then be another seat alcove in the far back corner of the cantina, but looks like Hasbro went for symmetry instead

[Matt_Fury]

Hasbro missed a huge opportunity with the set.

Modern Blue Snaggletooth.


It's not too late, add another tier Hasbro!!!!!

They got me again... the 3.75" Ghostbusters 4-Pack... I want it.

So I renewed Pulse a day after saying I wasn't in any hurry, and will go back the Cantina now.

Thanks for posting this, Scott!  I have this book and completely blanked on using it as a reference in this instance. 

I think some screen caps of the various shots in the scene can help place other characters around the Cantina.

It woulda been great to get a small band riser with a button and sound chip to play the cantina theme.

Maybe one of these?

I have a full set of these, thanks to Colman, no less!  And I never opened them.  I think some of the batteries still work, too.
