Hasbro Reveal The Vintage Collection HASLAB Mos Eisley Cantina! 

For me this may have been my happiest day as a lifelong Star Wars 3.75” collector. As a classic monster fan, that cantina scene really captured by imagination the first time I saw it on the big screen when I was ten years old. That was the moment I understood what world building was even though I didn’t know there was a word for it. World building is my favorite part of my job as a professional comic book writer and it all goes back to this. I even spent a lot of time watching my “Danger at the Cantina” film cartridge on my Kenner Star Wars Movie Viewer in order to relive the experience since there was so little released images of the cantina scene, or anything for the first few years Star Wars existed. The Cantina playset looks perfect, right down to the heads on the wall that I didn’t expect to see incorporated. All the figures look great, and my number 1 spot has finally opened up on my March Madness bracket now that the figures I’ve wanted most for almost 30 years are finally getting made. With the Tonnika sisters coming, I almost feel like if Hasbro killed the line I’d be satisfied with what I have. I do think more cantina patrons will be coming. I suspect that as we move forward with the campaign, Hasbro will reveal more of what’s to come in order to drive up interest in the HasLsb by showing how it will be supported. I’m sure we’ll see some single carded figures like Momaw Nadon, but I also hope we see a couple of four packs of characters that aren’t cut out for wide release. I’d love to see a Hare Mouse, Garouf Lafoe, Yerka Mig, Tycar Ryjerd, Danz Borin, the other spacemen, and the second Duros. I know this won’t happen, but I’d also love to get a Jerba to stand outside by the dewback.

When my kids and I saw this on Hasbro Pulse livestream, we were excited. Finally getting the Cantina, that I watched as a toddler and my kids watched when they were small. I couldn't believe that they did the Tonnika sisters and I am glad they did. My daughter does not know about them, but now she is rewatching " A New Hope" to spot those sisters, because she believes they look incredible. Hasbro Star Wars team, Jing, Chris, Emily and the rest have outdone themselves. I am happy they did. We are getting all new Luke, Obi Wan, Han and a partial Chewbacca makes me happy that TVC will continue to World Build. The 3.75 inch is for Life as my kids love that scale and I know they will impart that to their kids, so we will be going on 4 generations as my Father enjoyed collecting that scale for me. Bossk's Bounty(Tim), as a TVC community in the Bronx NY, USA, we appreciate your reviews and critique of all Star Wars TVC products and continue the good work. I will backing a deluxe and a base.

This is a much-needed good day for TVC. The Cantina looks outstanding and the pipelined figures were a wonderful bonus. Hasbro should be commended for the detail and modularity it has built into this. I will be backing it.

Hasbro have outdone themselves. Congratulations and thank you Hasbro! 👏❤

Backed x2. Probably my favorite scene of the entire saga. Will be the centerpiece of my Star Wars room. Hopefully, we’ll get a few more cantina patrons in the Return to Tatooine.

I love the little details in the stickers like the max rebo band poster

I got a couple Ubrikkian 9000's from Stan Solo earlier this year, so now I got a speeder to have parked at the front door! I would recommend grabbing one before he sells out. It will definately now be a hot item.

They should’ve added Bea Arthur’s character as a final bonus tier.

A must have for a true starwars fan. I wanted something like this as a child. Ended making one out of lego lol

Super happy with this- it looked huge on the stream! Going to get 2 so I can open a set of figures, and then probably give my nieces the spare cantina playset for their sylvanian families to enjoy a drink in.

The droids will have to wait outside for this one:

Deluxe Backed Instantly WOW

This is my first HasLab and I am *excited*! (I wasn’t collecting when the barge was offered, and everything since hasn’t motivated me enough). I’m pretty much strictly an OT collector, so you can keep all your clones, Bad Batch, Clone Wars, etc - this is right up my alley. 😁 My only wish beyond what we’re getting is that they would offer the option to include an additional loose, bagged figure of the carded ones for an additional charge. I think so many of us want the carded figure as well as a loose one to display… Of course I realize this may reduce sales for those who could afford to purchase two, but realistically (cost and display space-wise) I think it would benefit both Hasbro and the collectors. Big thanks for all you do! 🙏

Happy for the people who want this, i genuinly am, and happy you get your tonnika sisters bossk, but personally, i have too much self respect to let hasbro shaft me with that price tag.

“I’ve been looking forward to this”

Look at all those IG heads! Finally Hasbro has listened to the fans. I wish a floor and bar lights were added, but I'll take it. I know there was some legality with the sisters, but its about time! Seems like the TVC brand is alive for another year.

I’m absolutely going to be backing…now to redesign my toy room!!!😮

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! This was a long time coming!!!! To bring some new figures and some main heros!!!! About time Hasbro !!!

Can hear the excitement in your voice on this one tim

I backed it right away! I got the Deluxe!

So glad they finally made the tonnika sisters

Nabrun Leids was originally released in 1999, as part of the POTF2 "Cinema Scene" collection. He was then repainted and released in 2006's Saga Collection as a two-pack with Kabe.

I backed it. It looks incredible and the figures are spectacular. I didn't see the Pipeline but that's really exciting too. My only issue is going to be opening the figures. I have a loose collection but I'm going to have a really hard time opening these. The cards are beautiful too.

I’m backing. First time commenting but be watching for years!

THANK YOU for this great reveal video, waited a LIFETIME for this, well since 1977 / 1978 when as a 8 year old i started buying Palitoy figures 👍🏼

Soon when I saw it I jumped aboard the deluxe set I always wanted and needed this for all my Cantina figures❤cantina is beautiful wow we finally get one❤💯

We’ll hit the Wolfman! I think it’ll get to 20,000 backers.

They really should do another tier unlock where you get all the figures loose

That’s a massive price point for something that i don’t personally think is worth it. Most will buy and double dip fit the sisters. I’ll wait for them to get released on their own. And they will has to won’t sit on an opportunity to get more sales on these figures. Happy for everyone who wants this and gets it, in the end it’s all about what your personal experience.

The Ghost started backing on July 21 2023 and past the 8000 mark at 17.24 BST on the 25th. It'll be interesting to see how Cantina funding compares to that

This trully is a dream come true for so many of us. I have already backed 2 deluxe. I love everything they announced today with the exception that they specifically said Wuher and Tonnika figures will not be made available outside the Haslab. That is extremely foolosh as many carded collectors like me would buy two extra sets outside the Haslab. Really hope they backtrack on that as that is the only dark cloud hanging over this incredible awesome announcement. We're making the wolf man too, don't you worry.

I backed 2 deluxe sets. Really excited for the Tonnika Sisters and the heros on pipeline...

Nice !!! I sense the sandtroopers on the horizon

The best part of the livestream was the pipeline reveal of the core heroes!

I’m primarily a Black Series collector, but the Cantina is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Wars so this one will be a pickup for me I think.

Backed straight away, hopefully we get some cantina patron 4 packs just like the jabbas goons ones.

Finally Bossk gets the Sisters 😊😊😊

Will have to 3D print a roof and floor for this.

For me, the basic would be enough to display, but it has to be the deluxe, otherwise you'll get annoyed later. I hope Hasbro re-releases more Cantina figures from the old trilogie 😊

Only complaint; They should have LED lights in the booths, Droid Detector, etc. I bought that Robbie The Robot 12" toy a few years back for $20.. It literally walked, talked, & lit up. For this asking price I hope Hasbro is listening.

I’m very excited about this! It will be my first time backing a Haslab. I hope the Return to Tatooine theme includes Sandtroopers and Biggs on the Pilot Luke Sculpt. (I think Biggs being from Tatooine should count.)

I backed the Deluxe version right away. Those extra tiers really sold me and I am again glad I picked up Figrin Da'an and Modal Nodes two years ago.

I plan on backing this. I wish I would have had on the Ghost but maybe I'll get one someday, same with Jabbas Sail Barge. Hope to get all of the new characters in my collection. I've always been a huge fan of Tatooine and all the Smugglers and and criminals and villains that visit and reside there. I am really excited for the new upcoming Star Wars Outlaws video game that will allow us to explore Tatooine and even meet Jabba!

A NEW HOPE. My favourite movie. THE Original Trilogy FOREVER!!!! 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️

I think this reaches expectations

I've backed one of the Deluxe Edition for $499.99, which should come to $605, I live Canada, so that's our exchange rates from USD to Canadian dallors!! This is my first HasLab backing, so that why I picked the Deluxe Edition!!

I had to order both as I have to open a set! Very excited!

Thanks, BB! I've already backed two of these. Need one to open and also a carded set of the figures. So excited that the time for Tonnika is almost upon us.

Deluxe backed even though I’m a Mando only collector as it did appear in The Mandalorian episode called The Gunslinger. Just hope we get some figures from that.

I think I'm going to back this, I've been waiting for the Tonnika sisters, that alone is reason enough for me.

Saving for the Rattler

The Tonika Sisters look awesome!

Tonnika Sisters in the house!!!!

Will be backing most definitely which one I haven’t a clue 😅

Thanks for the information. A good Haslab. The final stretch goal could have been all the figures loose inside a Box with with detailed Black/White art like the recent troop builder boxes. I would like to see a TVC George Lucas (1976 Director's outfit, Tunisia Desert) figure so he could relax in the cantina as well with the patrons.

Well Tim, I haven't been collecting modern or TVC really in quite some time, but the more I see about this Cantina Haslab & and the return to Tatooine stuff, the more they are reeling me back in. In all honesty due to space constraints, I wasn't even considering backing this project. But I'm actually getting a little bit hyped about it. I probably will revisit the idea of backing it closer to the wrap-up of the allotted time frame that we have. And if I do back it, I would definitely back the deluxe version, because why not. I certainly think this one will back, and would like to think that it would hit the 17K needed for all of the tiers. Thank you for covering this. But I'm pretty sure my wallet is angry with you at the same time. 😅

I’d DEFINITELY LOVE to have this

Given that it's such a high-end item, the modular parts/Alcove walls should be weathered/textured on both sides, (ie including the curved archway entrances on both sides of the bar). Front and Back, so outside/extended dioramas can be set-up and displayed.

It’s very nice , I wish I had the perfect setup and space. Center of the room , a proper custom painted dio floor, definitely a dewback on the outside. Also a custom removable roof with custom dry brush. It’ll definitely hit 17,000+!!!!! It’s not for me , too many cups I wouldn’t use .

I just ordered two deluxe versions!!! In it for the figures. I've got no room to display this monster. Greeedo.... looks wicked! Can't wait for the "main" pipelines! Finally!!! Gonna have to definitely update the #makethe96 video" soon :P

Return to Tatooine means all new Cleigg Lars and Watto, right? Right?!

Finally, so excited for a Haslab!

❤ I am excited for when Geedo gets released later on in the line.

Just think if we get 25,000 unlocks !!! We should get 2 more Action Figures !!!

Great overview Tim. 👍 Just a few thoughts I’ve put together below. Most likely there’s nothing very original here, but if there is perhaps they could be brought up in tonight’s livestream. I can’t make it I’m afraid, we’ve got friends round, but will catch up tomorrow. Detailing - the detailing looks good, walls, steps etc, but could do with an ink wash to create some weathering and bring out those details. Is this the kind of thing the community should be making known to Hasbro? Floor - I know there’s lots of talk about the floor or rather lack of. I’m interested in what people think about the lack of floor, but also in what people will display this on? I’m not exactly sure what the Cantina floor should look like, but am thinking wood laminate, like my sideboard in the study/collection room is not going to look great. I’m thinking of trying a craft cutting mat, they’re tough, rubbery and can hopefully get them fairly plain. Might work a treat and prevent the set slipping on a polished surface. Deluxe v Basic - this is huge so I’ve backed a basic as just don’t have a single space or surface in the house the deluxe can sit on. I think I could be convinced to change my mind… modularity is a brilliant feature meaning it can be displayed in sections on shelves etc. Figures - love them all, and can understand they need to pull people in to buy this with the temptation of popular demand figures like the Tonnikas or Greedo. I really hope the #ReturnToTatooine campaign will provide some more background patrons. I’m surprised they didn’t go for Hem Dazon in particular as his head popping up is so iconic and synonymous with the Cantina. Accuracy - Ive seen some plans on social media that suggest the deluxe side is less accurate than the original design… any thoughts? Do the band have a bandstand? Cups - Do we need so many cups.. I noticed some of the carded figures also have cups 😂 Lighting - How well do people think it will light for photography/display? The photos Has to took looked great so hoping it will be good, but the alcoves may be a bit dark. Does anyone think lighting could/should have been included or sets sold separately maybe on completion of the Haslab? Value for money - a lot of chatter in the community about it being overpriced, what do you think? Are some people priced out of these offerings? Could there be a payment plan? Outside - live that they have in true outside entrance. Really hope we might get to build this out with figures ( Garindan maybe? 😁), Dewback, spherical vehicle, re-release of Luke’s speeder, sand troopers.

This is my absolute dream item. Backed the deluxe version immediately.

Just backed the deluxe offering really hope we get it❤

That is a solid yes!!!

Should have bought that Modal Nodes multipack 😫

I ordered 2 deluxe sets. Been waiting a long time for this one.

I just took the deluxe version, I'm impatiently waiting for the ghost

I put in for the deluxe version. IF it reaches the numbers they're aiming at, production will begin about a month from now. The numbers aren't there yet. We'll see.

I think a deal could be done exclusively for this set to release the Tonnika Sisters. I wrote a comment about the likeness issue of the actresses being solved but it was made invisible on Pulse site, suggesting this might still be a sensitive issue. Don't expect the Tonnika Sisters to be made available elsewhere. Now about the price, this is deep, but when you think about it, $250 for a base offering and $25 for 6 figures each equals $400 (I presume Hasbro priced the set knowing it would reach 17000 backers). Of course cheaper would be better, but again, the Tonnika Sisters were really the last never made figures from the original movie so I am quite happy with this offering. The sisters make the Haslab successful to me, otherwise I would have preferred a vehicle, such as a Marauder with Bad Batch crew or a Dooku's Solar Sailor from the prequels. Another time perhaps. Having said that, it's absolutely NECESSARY that Hasbro proposes in 2 years from now (2026 for 2027) a gigantic Haslab DEATH STAR to celebrate A New Hope's 50th anniversary. There might never be another opportunity for this.

Weathering this would be a ten minute job with some black poster paint and a wet rag

The one thing I will say about this is that I like how you can buy certain parts. It would be Cool if they made it so that you could just Order. The figures once they're all unlocked

Backed 2 Deluxe and 1 Base!

I backed the deluxe and I’ll display as much as I can of it and store the rest until s time comes that I can display all of it

Great video. I wish they would have made a Chalmun and maybe a little office in back. I had to get the deluxe because if I didn't I'd be kicking myself next year when it comes out. Looks great, but could use some weathering. So glad we are finally getting the Tonnika sisters.

Well there's your PongKrell. I imagine he was chosen because they could double dip by making a 4-armed skeleton. Get ready to pay deluxe prices though!

I’ll be backing the deluxe version. Love that it is modular so gives plenty of flexibility for displaying it. Hopefully they do make the final version a bit more ‘grubby’ I can imagine we will get a 4 pack of more cantina patrons in the future for this. I also think this means Garindan will be closer to joining TVC

Backed for 2; love it! I was one of those who thought there would be no "TimeForTonnikas". Glad to be wrong.

hi tim looking forward to your upcoming live stream to discuss this…i will be taking the delux.

Great video thank you for making breaking down everything your awesome boosk

As a non TVC collector I'm thrilled for all of you! THIS is what a Haslab should be! Its pretty much perfect and even if you dont get all the tiers you're still getting 3 incredible figures.

backed the deluxe version, first time backing a HasLab. I just wish they would’ve done a bit more to the outside making it look more complete and not just plastic. ganna have to do some customizing i guess

Five times the Deluxe! BOOOOM!

I backed but we will see. I want those stretch goals!

well darn it, one of each I suppose then. But I would like a floor...even if its a thick printed card board fold out thing!

I think Arleil is based on a bat where Lak Sivrak is a wolf

Definitely got mine backed already. Looking forward to all the Vintage Collection goodness! I hope they make sure and get Han's thigh-strap for his holster correct so he looks as good sitting down as he does standing. Looking soooooo forward to these releases!

15 years ago. this would be my dream playset.

Time for OT-crowd to pony up. The time to cry and complain is over. This is a dream item. The ANH mains are all getting redone and there will be much more to support the Cantina. If you want more OT and don’t back this then you got zero grounds to ever complain again. Let’s smash this to unlock all tiers ASAP and if we get it done quick enough maybe they could be convinced to add a 4th unlock. It makes zero sense to wait. Back it today, it doesn’t charge until the end of the campaign. If you ever want a new Sandcrawler, Shuttle Tyderium, Death Star or any other OT Haslabs, this one needs to succeed and succeed well. Let’s get it to 25-30k and show Hasbro that they need to expand the TVC budget and if anything relocate resources away from the TBS clearance scale. #backthebar

The Haslab Star Wars the vintage collection Cantina sticker sheet has weathered stickers to add weathering.

I presume that farmboy Luke and the rest of the heros(that we need), will be released later on. Glad to see the Tonnika sisters there, shows that they do listen to the community!! I like it myself personally. Expensive, but nice. The only thing that bothers me is that the amount of 3D printed cantina's that I have seen already, this does look to me that its missing something?? I think it's because some of the stuff I've seen people make.... well, some cantinas look bloody amazing. Can't wait to see what most people think of this HasLab. Great video as always 👍

I've backed the base version, not got the space for deluxe offering unfortunately. Great figures! Let's hope we get the 17k

If it came with a few more cups, I may have considered backing it

The extra wall for the deluxe I'm going to use for my jabbas palace set up I think would look perfect

Definitely buying.

Awesome. Will definitely back it

Love. It. Finally, some love for the movie that started it all.
