I'll take one... I missed out the first time and secondary market prices for the original have been somewhere over $125 for a while. I still would have rather gotten something new.

My bubble mailer didn't fare as well. Both bubbles were creased and slightly smushed and the cards were warped and lightly creased in a few spots.

It's probably not even worth the hassle of a return, given that the replacement will also just be shipped in a bubble mailer. I guess I'll look for a better one in-store and try to upgrade.  ::)

We just need Ryan to back his third one and we're golden!

I guess I was thinking it ends today. I’m still on the fence. I’ll sleep on it and see tomorrow evening.

I'm still considering backing a third... I'm going to take a look tomorrow around 6pm, and if we are within 1000 or so of Zeb I may pull the trigger. I don't really want to have a third that won't resell as well without a completed set of mural cardbacks & Season 4 Rebels.

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.

- Extend the backing window to 60 days.

I feel like that would have been the easy solution. (Assuming the Ghost even shows up next week at this point.) Disney has had the premiere date set for a few months now, it wouldn't have been too much of an inconvenience on Hasbro's end to extend the time frame by 15 days. Right now we are on a pace (about 375 daily backers) to unlock Kanan just before the campaign closes and finish with just over 14,000 backers. The extra 15 days and a meaningful appearance of the ship on Ahsoka could have ended up being the difference in this HasLab getting the extra 3000 backers to unlock all of the tiers.

Those 3000 backers would represent $1.5 million in revenue for Hasbro, plus we'd get the option to give them more money for the other mural cards. It seems like the extra 15 days would have been a no-brainer.

These campaigns of course don't fund following a linear trend, as Jeff pointed out earlier. So I'm still holding out a tiny bit of hope that FOMO will get the better of a few thousand people this next week, and we will get to Zeb.

I’m not holding my breath.  Three episodes in and the ship hasn’t even shown up in the show.

Best case scenario now is that it makes an appearance one day before the campaign ends.

What a joke.

Oooff. I was honestly a bit surprised by that. It seems like LFL could have worked with them to time that a little better.

After so many releases of Luke as an X-wing Pilot, I'm excited to get him as a Piolet.

I thought the same thing. :D

Fun fact: A piolet is the word for a small ice climbing ax and is the name is of French origin. (I'm guessing spell check didn't catch it because of this.)

I didn't look this AM before the live stream, but hopefully, the backer-count jumps up significantly after tonight after Ahsoka and working people catch up on the stream and daily news. It was good to get additional confirmation on Rebels Mural Chopper & Sabine (less good that they are going to be an extra purchase on top of everything else...) Hopefully that all snowballs a bit and gets us to the next Tier in the next day or two.

Anyone else think that the Leia should've been #300?

It was a little surprising that it wasn't a main from the OT. But people have been wanting Hera for 9 years, so I'm ok with it.

Not what I expected for VC300, but Hera is a good choice. The figure looks great. I, too, am surprised to see just how different the two versions of Hera look. I would guess that based on what they said about Zeb & Ezra, their main-line live-action versions will look pretty different from the HasLab mural versions.

Even though we all knew these were coming, I am still excited. They look great, especially the soft-goods. I too would be more than down for a few troop-building packs of the HKs.

It was so hard to narrow it down to only 25... I originally had the mains on my list but decided to drop them. There is no way we aren't going to get them in the line again and I wanted to give their slots to some less likely figures. I also dropped most of the Rebels figures from my list given The Ghost is coming out. Hasbro knows that we want figures to fill out the ship and Rebels is getting a lot of love. I think those will come out at some point soon, too. I tried picking some figures that Hasbro could reuse parts from to make other new figures. In the end, most of my choices are from the OT era. If I put this off much longer I think my list could completely change. Realistically, I'd happily take any of the 175 choices we had here.
