Scott Toy Guru Neitlich from Spector Creative looks at the new Haslab Cantina in relation to long term collectors and the quest to have a dollhouse shaped like a bar to display all these toys in!
Distinctly remember avoiding cardboard toys like the plague. Cardboard at the time was for cereal mail aways. It did and still does read as bottom barrel cheap.
I agree with everything said here, but what's also great about this playset is that it offers people just jumping into TVC, like myself, an incredible place to start. I can spend years populating this playset with all kinds of imaginative interactions between characters and places like Dagobah or the Death Star couldn't offer. I can have my Ghost parked outside it with the Rebels crew inside conversing with Han and Chewy, etc. Very excited for this
Scott, why do you think, with all the millions of Star Wars fans, only 14,000 cantinas sold? its an impressive playset and I figured a lot of fans would desire it. So whatcha think?
i was collecting also from 1995 and on, but i guess i wasn't as into it as i should have been, i was doing other things like going to college and attending the star wars celebrations and then finding a job and going to concerts and movies and other things, i got serious again i don't know when, maybe just recently with the addition of stan solo and other makers
What are your current thoughts on the MOTU Origins still at retail, and the current Turtles of Grayskull line. There were no Turtles of Grayskull figures on the pegs at my Wal Mart Currently. Thanks
@@Supermuttt where in the world do you live? There has been no MOTU origins at retail for over a year. The last item at an actual retail store was probably Moss Man at Walmart. That was over a year ago. Origins is garbage now because, believe it or not, Scott was right about it disappearing from retail. Websites only and Mattel fundraisers are NOT retail.
I wouldn't call this a "Payoff". It is another incomplete product aka carrot on a stick presented as something like a "Milestone" 🤭. For the price that is asked this is just really baffling to me. Technically this is like 6 playsets. So if one playset costs 50$, we would be at 300$. To call this a "Milestone" when it doesn't even have a roof is really cringe(?)🤔. The most iconic thing about the cantina is the Cantina Song(s). It would be necessary the band being able to play the 2 most significant songs to this scenary/part of movie. For a "once in a lifetime" 🤮project as this was marketed as, this shouldn't be too hard to include within a price of 500$. I think the corporation know their fanbase and they know that stockholm syndrome is one of their main "ingredients" interacting with them. I totally understand people being desperate for a Cantina Playset and I wish them only the best owning this piece of "collection". However, reality is that someone is taking advantage of you. Not having options is being held hostage😘
Dear Scott, never stop doing these videos, i love them and they are great! The price was my main reason not to back it. Did a haslab ever made it to retail? #bringbackthekhetanna
No. HasLab is primarily meant for items not possible for retail. With that said, it is possible for a HasLab item to make it to retail, in a much smaller scale, less decos/paint, and less accessories.
Excellent job Scott. Completely agree that this hascrap mess is lacking so much that it's just barely a cut above a custom piece by a skilled customizer. Just a bunch of pieces from cheap ass hascrap. It's embarrassing for that $ the LEGO one is far superior just as conceptual piece.😀🧩
