If they wouldn’t fudge it for how close the Rancor got, I can’t see them doing it here just for an add-on. But I think he will probably just squeak by….

It has been rolling along at ~10/minute for the last 1.5 hours.  I don't care if it's real buyers or Hasbro shenanigans as long Nabrun unlocks...

19 minutes left and Nabrun is unlocked!
This is the way.

Not looking likely.

some HasLabs have had 1000 in the last hour

14,652 - preliminary final (this always bounces around a little as people close out their carts).

If that holds, we did about 1200 in that last 60 minutes!  Way more than I was expecting.  Happy that we made it because it looked so unlikely earlier today.


14,687 as of 11:10pm CT.
14,737 as of 11:40pm CT

I wanted the wolf man more than the other unlocks… do we still think it’s likely he makes it into the main line somehow?

Yeah, I think so.  It won't be the same cardback they showed, but I think he will come, probably in some kind of set with other Cantina guys (like the Jabba Goon 4-pack).

The Marvel Legend team has released HasLab figures that were not unlocked (like Damien Hellstrom) or alternate versions of HasLab figures that were not unlocked (Goblin Queen) as mainline releases so there is some precedent there.  Of course those were from a whole HasLab that failed (Ghost Rider Car) but the point being they eventually got released.

A cantina alien 4-pack of it had new guys in it would be dreamy.

I have a feeling we'll see each of these figures pipelined on different card backs in the mainline fairly soon.

Happy to see the last-minute run to get us Nabrun! I too am hoping that we see Ariel make it into a Cantina 4-Pack with a few other NEW never before-made Cantina aliens. I'd be happy if they did 2-4 of those sets to help newer collectors fill out their Cantinas and get us some new aliens and much-needed updates. I'd even be fine if each set had 1-2 rereleases (depending on the figure).

I’ve already been charged.  Lol.

Same. They sure didn't waste any time. After a local con this weekend and a bunch of new stuff hitting in the last week it was an egregiously expensive holiday weekend.

Same here!  I thought that Arleil Schous was the most interesting figure of the bunch.  Especially since he was infamously cut from his one big shot in the opening montage of the scene.

Based on the way things were worded about the stretch goal figures?  I think it's entirely possible that we'll get them in other forms down the road.  But I thin it could be a while until that happens.  In the meantime?  I think there's some low-hanging fruit with some other Cantina aliens.  Hasbro already confirmed a new Momaw Nadon.  A new Duros seems to a likelihood after the reveal of the Duros X-Wing pilot.  And the Figrin D'an figure could easily yield a Lirin Car'n.

I just hope this means they will eventually do a pair of Retro Tonnikas  ;)
