It is fun so far. I give major points to any star wars property that gives speaking lines to OT aliens. Speaking parts for a wolfman, an Ish Tib is great. I'm even handing points for Neel and his famliy on this one.
 
 I like the ship too. The interior seems mysterious. It feels like there is more to be discovered there.

I'm debating how soon they can actually do normal releases of Greedo, Nabrun and Arleil. It would seem weird to make those standard releases available before the Cantina ships.  What does it say for tier figures if they'll just make them anyway and release before the project ships? What would our motivation be to back future projects or buying multiples if the backers don't get first crack at owning new figure.

Pretty sure the mainline releases of Grogu and Offworld Jawa happened before the Razor Crest shipped with it's versions of those guys.  And we've already got the mainline variants of Zeb and Ezra shipped with Kanan on the way soon and The Ghost hasn't shipped with it's versions of those guys yet.

Hasbro doesn't seem to have any issues with similar time release as long as there is something "unique" about the HasLab version that still makes it special/unique.

Yeah, I guess you are right. The Cantina character seem to feel different to me as we've been waiting 47 years for those. I don think I ever blinked an eye when characters from the Razorcrest and the Ghost had maneline releases in advance of the arival of the haslab ships.

HasLab gross sales, based on current "final" total for 21,768 for The Ghost:

Galactus - $12,324,091.89
The Ghost - $10,883,782.32
Razor Crest - $9,838,568.89
H.I.S.S. - $8,031,332.28
Sentinel- $7,655,331.27

14,737 x $449.99 = approx. $6.6mil in gross sales (+/- $0.7mil)

Who would have guessed the Cantina would have had the least value of gross sales out of that list? I do wonder if the Cantina has the biggest margins. They seem to have offered a lot less sculpting, engineering, and materials than other Haslabs. I paid only $60 more for Unicron and the engineering for him had to be crazy.

Maybe they have a deal to sell off 4000-6000 units to online vendors to make up the balance. Who knows?

Also, did they ever post a picture of adding the deluxe side of the cantina with only the alcove arches and furniture? My thought is to look past the seated patrons and through the arches at the rest of the cantina. Maybe that's a way to display it all in one piece without walling off the whole horizontal perspective of the scene?

Dang I would have like the Marauder but I guess that was a long shot seeing as how they’ve only got Hunter to go with it so far.

The Twilight was #1 on my most wanted list of ships for a long time before the Ghost took over that spot, so I’d be super happy to see this one, although it feels like there is almost no fan push for it.

I’d also love the Jedi T-6 Shuttle. I was checking out the Lego one the other day and it’s a pretty neat design.

The twilight has always been high on my list. I'm not saying it's a great choice for everyone though.

The dream figure pack is top on my list though if it is cantina patrons I will need a cantina to go with them. If they do a cantina, I'm still on board with my vote to keep it modular. The bar section could likely fit in a 12-14 inch deep shelf, as could either side wall of the building. This would keep it flexible for people who definitely don't have the space for a full table display. You could display the whole thing separately on three shelves if need be.

So does anybody think Shin knows what Baylan's Goals are? It seems like she doesn't.

Baylan seems cool, or maybe he just thinks he's cool? He clearly knows about the force trinity, but he kind of seems like that "cool guy" you know who's pretty tiresome when you consider all his BS.

How are the paint apps on the playset? Ive seen a few reviews where they said the walls did not look as good as people had hoped.

Maybe they spent to much on the paint apps for Boba's old county buffet table?

It was a far bigger announcement that Transformers fans got a new shot at Fortress Maximus. That's a big deal. For star wars fans that that might be like a reissue of a republic gunship , Turbo tank, or AT-TE at an affordable price.
