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?

A Tantive would (obviously) be under-scaled no matter what.  But it would either have to be so hideously under-scaled as to be silly, or it would have to be barge-sized or bigger, and then no one has space for it.  I kind of hope they never try that one, or if they do they make it more of a play set than a proper vehicle.

Oddly enough I never think of the Tantive being more than an ANH item. Having one would serve as a background resistance set for a ROS diorama. we would just need them to make 30 figures for that diorama... 

The thing with the Razor Crest is, they don’t need HasLab to sell that thing. It would fly off shelves no matter what.

I definitely agree with this idea... though the level of detail and scale would only be appropriate with a Haslab release.

I was excited about the stand until I looked closer. It suspends the ship a centimeter off the surface it rests on. It’s “flying” vertically in a position where it might as well be parked in. It’s not wrong for the ship to be parked horizontally on a shelf, but it is wrong to be suspended horizontally on a stand similar to the action fleet version. This stand solves that action fleet problem without providing much.

I don’t see the value here. I think this was a cheap way to put out a Mando ship without giving us the Razor Crest. If this new stand were an action flight stand I would have a reason to be really excited.

How well did Knives Out do?

Pretty well, I'd say -  $306 million box office vs $40 budget; Oscar nomination for best original screenplay; 97% critic, 92% audience at Rotten Tomato; sequel has been greenlit.

"Scheduling" could very well be cited if LFL or Disney deems a personnel change is warranted.  If Rian Johnson's availability is called into question because of a Knives Out sequel?  Oh well!

I think TLJ was great.  It challenged the audience which I thought was a good thing, and I found it refreshing.  But just as much as I found that movie really broke some new ground and defied story expectations, there were a lot of fans who wanted a story that would make them feel more comfortable.  I don't see Rian Johnson as that kind of filmmaker who wants to appease an audience.

I'm just now considering that Canto Bight was mix of the Cantina and Cloud city. TLJ is almost reverse ESB with a fancy setting that is above it all near the start of the movie and a big ground battle at the end.
