Big Items of the Future!

[Mister Skeezler]

I'd like some slightly smaller, slightly cheaper items that encourage multiple purchases, like Hasbro did with the HISS tank. Something like the Y-Wing or B-Wing would be great, but I'm sure there are plenty of other options. That I could see annually. I'd easily buy 3-4 Y-Wings if they were to-scale (or at least much closer) and around $175-$250.

I think every 3 years for a large vehicle / item on par with the BMF Falcon, Sail Barge, Razor Crest or Ghost might be a manageable schedule for collectors.  Maybe even something like the unproduced POTF2 Death Star!  I know some pics of that have been circulating around social media in the past day or so.

But I think getting 1 ship per year that's a bit beyond the size of a starfighter would be welcome.  Something that's priced between $150 and $250, give or take.  Things like a larger U-Wing or Luthen's Fondor Haulcraft come to mind.  Maybe Ahsoka's T-6 shuttle.

As for large items that could make a future Haslab?  These come to mind:
-Death Star playset (large)
-Imperial Lamda class shuttle - redone from the ground up
-Millennium Falcon - SOLO deco

Here I am trying to figure out how to downsize the number of BMFs I have open (ANH, ESB, SWGE/ST) and Nick's over here trying to add one more to my collection.   

At least if they go that route, it'd increase the chances of them finally giving us TVC versions of L3-37, Rio, Val, Beckett, Qi'ra, Dryden Vos, etc.

I have been obsessing over a sketch Jayson did of a potential Death Star Haslab mockup he saw, which has led me to looking up all the Death Star prototypes over the years...so that was probably my doing!

But for the record, I would much rather have the POTF Imperial Outpost as a future project if we are picking between cancelled playsets.

Do you have a link to share?  Interested to see which rumored version this is...

It's about the middle of the page.

Ah, the mega-set version.  If Hasbro finally finds the guts to do that version as a HasLab, it'd set the collecting world on fire - the size of that thing, the high price tag it likely has.

If they did announce it though, I'd be right there with my $1,000 to back it.

Why would you need Vader's meditation chamber?  That was on his Star Destroyer.

[Rob]

I'm sure he has to meditate all over the galaxy.

In the scenes cut from the beginning of Return of the Jedi, the first place Vader goes upon his arrival at Death Star II is his meditation chamber.

Isn't the "Meditation Chamber" the first place everyone goes after a long flight?

They could certainly cut a few sections out to save a few bucks.  Sure I'd spend $1000 on the mega set, but I'd prefer if they scaled it back a bit to something in the $400-600 range, or made it modular so you could buy it in chunks over a few years.

Yes! I hoped this would be a Haslab project a couple of years ago, in scale with the x-wing. (1:18 would be over 4'.) There could be different color options.

After the Ghost, I'd really like Hasbro to have mini-Haslabs that focus on never-before-made figures multipacks that wouldn't sell well at retail.  Have a focus on Jabba's Skiff/Barge guards, Cantina denizens, characters that interacted with the Razor Crest, characters that interacted with The Ghost, Jedi, Ewoks, Partisans... the possibilities are endless.  Make the packs on cards (like the 3 packs we've been getting) but put them in the $100-150 range (for 4-5 figures).  They could do this a couple times a year, once during a big Haslab campaign, and I think collectors would be for that.  But I know I'm only dreaming.

I do like that idea, too. It would be a good way to get some of the deeper cut figures on our wishlists. It's not the TLC/TAC days anymore. I feel like this may be one of the only remaining avenues to get some of the more unique background characters.
