2025 HasLab Mos Eisley Cantina

[Matt_Fury]

So what Hasbro would do is put one Tonnika in the 3 included figures, and then the second as the third tier, which would de facto be a repaint anyway. Everybody wins?

That is so evil, I can totally see Hasbro doing this.

Imagine if none of them are the Tonnikas!  :'(

This is probably more likely.

The GI Joe team said that they are revealing their HasLab at SDCC... do you think Hasbro would announce the Star Wars one as well?

That would go against their normal plan to release two at once.  There are probably a fair number of Joe and SW collectors that do both, so they might be going for the same expendable cash.

Are there any Celebrations, big web casts, or other events coming up where it would make sense to drop the SW HasLab?

I think their "normal plan" probably went out the window when they missed the original May 4th reveal date for this one.

Launching them both at SDCC may be the only option they have left to make sure both projects get a lot of general collector eyeballs on them.  One alternative is waiting until Pulse Con in October to launch the SW one but if they are planning another brand HasLab reveal there then you'd be competing with that one anyway.

I guess maybe the alternative is to announce this one at a special SW Fan Stream so that it starts in June and then ends around SDCC.  Then they could still use the SDCC panel/booth to show off the model and try to drive some end of campaign sales?

At this point, Hasbro just needs to hurry up and officially announce it. Enough details are getting out that if they don't get ahead of them and get official info out there, the actual product could end up disappointing people if it is any less glamorous than the rumors.

If the Cantina is the Haslab...they've screwed up royally by not announcing it already. 

If they've backtracked and decided the Cantina will be a pre-order like the Jabba's Palace Boba Fett's Throne Room, and they are making something else for Haslab, we might not see it until next year.

Oh boy!

They'd better be sure this time.

If this is the Cantina, this will be a tough decision for me.  Even though I sold all my Hasbro stuff, I still back both the Sail Barge and the Razorcrest.  I set up the later with retro figures, which is the only Hasbro thing I still collect.

When I sold my stuff, I kept three sets of loose figures.  The first was Jabba's palace stuff for the Sail Barge and any future Jabba's palace playset.  The second was a bunch of Empire figures in case they ever made a Death Star or Star Destroyer playset.  The last set, was cantina aliens.

Do I have room for this?  Of course not.  Heck my Barge and Razorcrest are still in boxes since I moved last September.  When I finally get stuff sold, I will have room in the basement, but do I want to buy something else just to sit for years?  I guess I will see tomorrow.

OMG!  I'm stunned.  I can't believe it!  I am very happy to be wrong about the Tonnika sisters.

[Dave]

I like that they've made a base and deluxe option, and made it quite modular.  I think I'm just going to back the base set and probably strip off some of the entry area.  Its just too big and I'm not sure how I would display the whole thing and be able to see what is going on.

Who knows, maybe I'll get the whole thing just to be a completist and shove half of it in a box just in case.

Pretty cool how they made some of the sections able to be disassembled and configured however you want to do them.

[Jeff]

I backed the deluxe version.

Ditto.  I really thought we'd never get them.  Glad to be wrong about that.  Glad they went through the effort with LFL to get it all figured out.

TONNIKAS!!! 

This will be funded by the end of the day lol…I’m extremely tempted now myself.

[EdSolo]

All this needs is to hit the funding threshold because I don't think anyone will care about the three tier bonus figures.  Honestly those are pretty disappointing, but at least they didn't make the Tonikka sisters the bonus tiers.

Maybe, I'm missing it, but does anyone see the dimensions on this set?  Would like to know how much space it would require.  Might be hard to pass on this one.
