A big Cantina would be awesome, I'd just want it to fit on a shelf... these huge square or rectangular things that only fit on a table or bigger surface are hard to find places for in my set up...

If they threw in some new, unmade OT characters I'd be all about it.

They would be fools to not make the cantina modular. Most of those shots in the film only translate in a diorama if you lay out one side of the room or one side of the room with the center bar in front of it. If it were only a big rectangular structure it would be less fun to be stuck with a bird's eye view of everything.

Fitting components on a shelf for smaller scenes would be ideal for everyone at some point regardless of how much space a person has.

Yeah this set isn’t the place...

It’d be kinda neat to see it as like maybe the MP from Rogue One.  Perhaps has a sleeve cuff you slide up the arm.  That would be cool to me.  Ditch the hat and leg ammo thing in place of a holster, sleeve cuff, new head.  Rebrand it.

Or I’d totally be into them doing the director of Rogue One as a RFT from the films end.

All or any of this. The nod to the director is a cool idea.

I was kinda hoping for a blockade runner about the size of the barge.  But after today's reveal, I'm just floored by how nice they pulled off the hallway, made it modular, etc.  It's basically everything I've been hoping for with diorama-esque playsets for what feels like at least 20 years now.

From the photos I've got to agree that they did a fantastic job with this playset, although for collectors it would have been nice to drop the Rebel Trooper and make it $40, but at this point I'm not going to argue.

I hope they take the inspiration and ideas from this and do the exact same thing with an Imperial version - Death Star / Star Destroyer.  Maybe the Haslab project will be a Death Star and it'll use elements of the modular stuff, but I'd also be excited about a fairly carbon copy of the Tantavie IV playset but with Imperial elements.

You may be on to something Dave. As much as I laugh at the notion we would get this hallway set and a full Tantive, that approach might work for both a Death Star playset and an imperial hallway set. A design that can snap on in multiple configurations and allow you to make the display as big as you want to would be pretty awesome.

I might only have the room to do the enclosed hallway that she showed in the livestream.

That's the beauty of this thing. Now I'm wondering what the layout looks like for the escape pod side of the wall. I wonder if the floor plates fit on that side too.


Oh man, now I'm realizing how much I want foot pegs in the floor plates.  I don't see any. Those rad poses are less rad when you have to glue the figures in place.

I am going to wager this is the most we'll ever see of a Tantive playset. I'm ok, with that though I would like a side hallway with escape pods.

I won't turn down a Razorcrest. If it's an OT item I'm guessing it's the Cantina.

A sure fire launch would be the Razorcrest with two Blurgs, Quill, IG, multiple childs (in pram, in backpack for IG to wear), Karga and Moff Gideon, plus special edition Mando.

I've been thinking more about a Haslab Razor crest.

I'm convinced there's no way they would do a decent retail version. The biggest recent 3 3/4" releases were the TFA and Solo Falcons and those offered very little for $100-$130.

When I was a kid my cousin had the GIJoe Cobra Rattler. The engines had roughly 5 pieces and I would disassemble and reassemble engines for maintenance every time I got my hands on it.

Hasbro could add an amazing amount of features if they made a Razorcrest with many pieces and panels that could be disassembled to mimic looting by Jawas. Maybe this could be a stretch goal? Maybe that would also include Quill's trailer to hold a bunch of looted parts.

Does anyone have any good Intel on whether these will be a focal display at multiple Targets or just the "Disney" Targets? That'll matter a lot on availability I imagine.

What's a Disney Target?
