The Vintage Collection HASLAB Cantina Update! Hammerhead Pipelined! 

11 figures to support a Haslab at the jump is huge and unprecedented. It's a great start and no one can realistically complain that they're not supporting the cantina. They supported the barge over the years with the skiff and additional figures four-five years after the fact. Their track record with Haslab support is excellent and I think a little trust/faith has been earned at this point. I'm eager for the cantina, I have literally every cantina figure made so far. I know not everyone does, but be patient. 11 figures to put in the cantina already is a great, great start.

Thanks for spending the time to join the session and compile this for us!

this is probably their new format, to prevent uncontrollable questions

I love the Design.If it was $100-$120 less, I'd probably back it. I'm a Fan, but I have my Limits

Forget the Pipeline. Throw that figure in with the Haslab!

I made my own custom cantina last year and bought all the figures in the last two years. They were expensive, but I'm happy I did it because now they're going to be much more expensive.

When I created my Cantina using the Power of the force cardboard setup, I filled it with every produced figure thus far and it cost me nearly a grand 3 years ago. Now with this Cantina, those figures are going up daily and getting even more rare. We'll see.

The bonus tiers should've been multiple 4 packs of the cantina aliens, so you'd unlock them in sections

I think if they added the same figures that come carded loose as well it would have backed a lot quicker in my opinion

It's gna back. We'll get all those different figures in the end. Everyone should be happy.

Just use sawdust for the floor. Like all the rough pubs did back in the day. It was easier to sweep up blood, broken glass and missing teeth at the end of the night. No, really. Pretty appropriate for the cantina with dead Rodians, severed Aqualish arms and whatnot, lol...

Ring the HasLab team for me and tell them unless there's a little battery operated soundboard and speaker in the band's stage module that plays 'The Cantina Theme'..the deal is off. 😁... And it wouldn't kill 'em to make the table lamps light up.

Hey BB, just wanted to thank you for this video. You are a true representative of the TVC community. Thanks for your candour in feeding back to us on this rather odd-sounding Q&A. The Legacy Collection question continues to be a point of much intrigue. One wonders what Q&As will look like going forward. Thanks again, keep up the brilliant work. GA

I’ve complained endlessly about the price being far too high, but the more I see of it the more I like the build after an initial bad impression. My finger is hovering over the trigger, and I think a lot of people are in the same boat. Hearing that it is getting future support probably has tipped me over, so thanks for the video

Great work Bossk, this q&a does seem all 'Cloak and dagger' and by the sound of it, creates more questions than answers. On the back of the initial postponement. It certainly would have been good to hear about the Legacy Collection cantina patrons, either coming out or not

Can't wait for this Tim. 🥰👌💪💙 Well done for bringing up TLC figures 👏 hopefully they'll be watching this and address it... 🤞

It feels like this is going to struggle to scrape the funding goal at this point, so I think any discussion about the non-core figure offerings will likely be entirely moot. And as for the base figures. this is Hasbro we are talking about here, remember! If there's money to be made from existing tooling, they sure as hell will rinse it for all it's worth. "We currently have no plans to release..." is their way of giving the answer people want to hear, whilst protecting it's crowd-fund. Because let's face it, if this had no figure offerings, there's no way it'd get close to funding. Prior successful crowd funds have had exclusive "editions" of figures, nothing has had a "unique" figure yet. Barge and Crest figs came out in other forms down the line and I suspect it'll be no different here. Although I'm really glad people are liking this and supporting it, this is a massive disappointment for me. It's horribly plasticy, has no unique features, zero playabililty and aside from the bar, 90 percent consists of one "modular" alcove. The price is criminal.The initial idea of the Haslab was always to produce a "dream" item we simply couldn't get any other way. The Barge is the ultimate example. Crest and Ghost have also been spot on. This just feels like something you'd find filling shelves in Walmart. Star Destroyer, Blockade Runner, or a Home One next time please Hasbros...

I'm so excited for this. I can't wait for it to back and watch the surge. I'm sorry if i ruined the Q&As with my appearance last time!

Would be better as a Hasbro Pulse themed project where I could buy each Modular Section separately over time. Also, would like a Roof for each Modular Section. But it has to be Reasonably Priced.

Why didn’t they address the alcoves not having proper roofs?

This was probably the worst handling of a Haslab. First they leak the photos, then they delay the reveal and then don't give us the full 45 days. I think the higher ups just told them it's Star Wars and we need money. I don't use Twitter/X or Instagram so the only info I got was from facebook people and the You Tube reveal. They are relying on the customers too much. They need to take a step back and focus all of their attention on one Haslab at a time. They should also pay you guys for all the work they should be doing.

I commented earlier on Lindquist's transcribed post the same thing about the release of the figures outside of the Haslab. Habro: For Wuher and the Tonnika’s, "there are no CURRENT plans" … so that's a maybe. For the other three tiers if we unlock them, "we may or may not" … so also as maybe. Clears it right up! And now that spawns a QFWN so I'll go post that on your last Sunday's video.

Cheer's Tim thanks the in depth video, I'm so tempted to back! But if we don't get the 17000, backer's were paying £500 deluxe for 3 figures and a diorama, they already said price was based on all tiers, 6 figures, let's hope! 👍

Thanks for the rundown and shoutout! This Q&A was done so strangely. I have no idea why they don't want to share the actual video themselves...not to mention sharing a video about a Black Series two-pack of repacks today instead. Seems like it would have cleared up some confusion and helped promote the project, and not put so much pressure on fan sites to attend and get everything totally right, or answer their own readers' confused questions.

If they add a floor !!! Put foot peg on it so the Action Figures can stand up and not get blown over by the Wind !!! Or add two more Action Figures as stretched goals !!!

While its unlikely they will re-release the Tonnika sisters outside the haslab, I honestly think they should! Many of us have been wanting these figures for years and when they finally announce them its with the huge caveat that you have to back the haslab! I don't think its fair that if you can't afford the Cantina, you won't be able to get them! Its another big slap in the face to collectors from Hasbro!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hello there the cantina is funded Tim 😜😜😜😜😜

This is bizarre. Hasbro marketing is MIA on this HasLab. Nearly all the promotion is being done by fan-sites. I’m sorry you were under pressure to attend - should have been a video on their socials! Get it together Hasbro!

Very excited now getting closer to being backed 🙌 But this whole Haslab campaign has been botched from the very start and continues to be so by Hasbro … leaks, clarification videos, weak advertising and now this strange ‘cloak and dagger’ Q&A 🤷‍♂️ If you didn’t know any better you’d think Hasbro are trying to sabotage this thing😄 Thanks Tim mate for keeping us in the loop and bringing much needed clarity 👍🫶

I have backed 3. Might get a 4th if I can swing it. Filling it can be done over the next year. Be patient. Don’t pay crazy figure prices right now.

Thanks for the update. I'd ask Haslab why the outside side walls are not textured/weathered. Extends the diorama potential (ie Dewback standing)

Well it backed!!!!!

All starting to smell funny, and for once it isn't me! I'm still on the sand dune regarding this HasLab... thanks for sharing your thoughts on this presentation

Great honest stuff as always! Now the real question WILL IT GET BACKED?? I just listed a duplicate Imperial shuttle to pay for it SO BACK THE CANTINA PEOPLE its a great set.

I wouldn't mind splitting a basic one with someone....I just want the front entrance lobby and one seating area, sisters I guess, and the other person would get the bar, bartender Maher and the two other seating areas.

Figures should be exclusive even the tier figures! Those of us fubding the Haslabs are paying for the tooling. We expect then to be limited edition. Not able to reissue them for years to come when we paid for tooling costs & they reap the benefits! Plus having them exclusive keeps the resale price up making them more desirable.

This will all end in tiers

I just want the sisters made

Thanks very much for the information. 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. (ie. A Dewback standing outside weathered walls). Would have been good if the last tier was the 6 figures loose in a box with BW artwork like the Trooper 4-packs they've done recently.

The “no current plan” answer is the same one they gave with all the other TVC haslabs. They still have never released those. Only tunghori has them😂

I’ve never backed a project but I’m really considering this one. If it’s not fully backed does it not get made and you are refunded?

I'm really hoping we get the tier unlocks, but worried about how the numbers are trending.

Kinda surprised about how much negative I read about this haslab, I mean it's prolly one of the only playsets that can work with any figure from any era honestly. You can have rebel pilots sitting around a table, Jawa mingling around, a group of mandolorians hanging out, group of imperial officers (like the 4-pack, which honestly are just standing alone on most of our shelves) could be sitting having a drink. I don't really have any of the Cantina aliens, so mine is going be full of mandos, jedis, bounty hunters, A few Ewoks, rebel pilots that I don't have a ship for...

I hope it gets backed. It's moving very slowly. I guess time will tell 😊 should of had a floor to bring it all together. Just saying. I don't like it. Looks unfinished.

cardback fomo ftw!

I still think they should give us the base figures loose as a tier as no one will want to open the carded figures

Hasbro should of said that they would balance the scales more so we can get new characters like Baylan skoll shin hati new media as well

Hasbro can’t help themselves. Just to make more money, they’ll release the unlocks at a future date. I know it’s a lot to expect, but if they’d included the basic figures and the unlocks as standard then included Leesub Sirln, Trento Diana, Pons Limbic and the lizard guy as unlocks, that would have backed in no time.

Thanks for the recap, BB. As for your question about the older TLC/TAC cantina figures being reissued, I can answer that for you: They don't have the molds. I know Chris has said in the past that they did, but at this point, I think it's clear they actually don't. The molds for those figures are long gone, so I think it's time for people to stop hoping for a reissue of them. If anything, we should be hoping we get some all-new sculpts (or kitbashes using the existing tooling library) of those characters.

....it needs a floor!

I hope Momaw makes it to the Retro line where it will be named Hammerhead. I would welcome Another ANH retro 6 pack. Hammerhead, Walrusman, R5-D4,Greedo,Luke X-Wing, Snaggletooth

will Momah have on his blue tank top?

I just love you!

Do you think they pipelined Hammerhead first because they can easily just downscale the black series version.

I hope everyone realizes they're not going to retool every figure that's been made for the Cantina. So you're going to have to take some as is, even though they're 15 or 20 years old. The 4 TLC on TVC cards as is. Same with all the OTC, TSC and TAC. Anything from the PotF and PotJ has to be brand new sculpts

I think they probably did it this way because of the last few times things may have accidentally been revealed. At least they could prep and have it ready in their minds on how to answer instead of sitting there thinking how not to give away what’s to come in the future. I’m really hoping this reaches all 3 tiers but I’m fearful.

It will back the ghost had barely made its first tier but in the last few days it was fully funded with 5000 to spare

I am concerned this will not back, it certainly won't get to the tier goals

Why have we still not gotten a Luthen figure from Andor?

Do you think the roof of the bar will sag over time or is there support? Here in Australia (as we don't have Haslab available) local store. Base/Deluxe $749/$999 Bit steep

I ordered the Transformers Deathasaurus. And I didn't pay for it for like 2 weeks after it ended. So I think if you get the please pay for it warning. I think you can get it if it takes a l little longer to pay. It worked fo me. The Millennium Falcon docking bay would be cool!

This should be in the center of the room , on a lazy Susan, with a custom sand /dirt floor and a custom roof that can be removed. I’m in on the GIJoe Haslab, I’ve moved on from Star Wars . Kinda sucks that you guys don’t get 6 figures , only $499.00 not including tax shipping for 3 only , maybe Greedo , good luck guys .

What’s the use of a Hammerhead if there is no Cantina to place him in. Good luck getting any of those unlock figures if it backs. And if that’s the case, no extra figures lessen the value even more. Also, a card back and extra accessories are one thing, but they will never lock a figure behind a HasLab. That’s why they skirt around the issue by saying “at this time”. They never should have went modular with no floor - especially for $500. It cheapens it. This is the main reason I pass. At this point the only HasLabs I would support are an Echo Base or Death Star.

I love your content better Bossk.

Make the damn floor modular or supply it anyway since 90%+ of recipients are going to display it the proper way.

Hasbro using the same approach from The Ghost Haslab…promising future figures to sweeten and close the deal.

8:10 is that cockney for From?

We dont need a floor. So sick of hearing that complaint.

Wait - I am confused by the wording you gave re: the unlockable figures. Do you mean they could be available outside of the HasLab on different hardbacks ONLY if they get unlocked? Meaning if they are not unlocked, we will not get them at all?

Wolfman should have come with the deluxe

Mom aw nadon

I’m sorry, but how are they still trying to figure the timing out on Haslabs??? I think it would be common sense that if you are running on a short timeline, dont offer a product that’s $400-$500, maybe start with something half that price. 🤷‍♂️

Momaw Nadon will almost certainly be a deluxe release as well. 🙄

Just think if it gets back !!! The Sisers could be in the BLACK Series !!! 😊😊😊

#backthebar

💪😎

they probably made the cantina to go with the tonnika sisters because victoria's cantina youtube channel asked for the tonnika sisters and got one on her show, and then i messaged hasbro on their website to make the tonnikas because of what i saw on victorias channel and your channel bossk, that one of the sisters was either dead or not well and the other one wanted a figure, so i put that into my message to hasbro on their website, and they told me before this cantina was revealed that they sent my message to the appropriate people in the company for making the decisions about which figure to make.

Great video but they know it looks like a movie facade not something that feels like a true piece of world building

I think Haslab needs to sweeten the pot, say, give us at least one more figure, like a blue snaggletooth, perhaps. And next time, they should just stick with larger vehicles, lord knows we still need a lot of them to go with our TVC figures. A U wing, bad batch Marauder, Ahsoka's T6, or Bo Kataan's Mandalorian starfighter for starters.

They need to repack and rerelease the Legacy Collection figures. Such an easy repack. Also the deluxe version should've just been for the 400 price and the figures should be a guarantee not in tiers. Why would someone want to buy an incomplete cantina that's a weird option. Hasbro is always nickel and diming collectors. There also should have been more time to come up with the money to buy or at least a payment plan option like amazon does. Plus everyone seems to want a floor, they should've included a simple sandpaper removable floor or something like that. Like it's 500 bucks (550 total) people shouldn't have to get their own extra custom floor that's ridiculous. I'm backing this and I appreciate the effort and it seems epic but Hasbro really needs to be more generous with collectors especially with expensive exclusives and less greedy and lazy. Its more about the principle and treating die hard collectors right.

I hope it gets backed so I can see a review, but I just don't see all the tiers getting unlocked.

It really looks so much like a playmobil set which makes it seem even more overpriced in comparison. Hope it backs for those that want it.

Can the Q&A video be viewed ? Can you share the link pls

I get the feeling Hasbro want the best of both worlds. They want to ensure profitability by having backers guarantee to fund, but they don't want those people to be intimately involved in the development of the product itself. I don't think it's a good look.

Foul Moudama gota be around the corner then 😏

Not a good reason for the shortened timeframe. The numbers have been fairly consistent from day to day during the so-called “doldrums” of the campaign - around 100ish per day. If you have a normal timeframe that is around 1,500 more backers. I know these numbers aren’t precise but it would or could be close to that. That could be the difference in reaching a tier or not.

Anything confirmed that Hammerhead won’t be a deluxe? As much as we need him carded, it’s gona make the Jango Deluxe feel downright dumb by proxy.

The marketing manager needs to get fired. How do we see nothing on the hasbro pulse instagram account

Hope they make the bad batch the series has ended it would of been a good time to make them plus they made them in black series so they need to get on it in my opinion

Yuk on the box, I’m not feeling this one like with the Ghost and Barge I think I might pass on it

I think they will not sell it! Maybe they will put down the minimun number of units to be manufactured

I’m SO CONFUSED! So let me get this straight, Hasbro’s Star Wars team had various influencers submit questions in advance and then join a video call yesterday where they answered random questions and talked more about the HasLab Cantina, but didn’t allow for any interaction from the participating sites and didn’t film or record the session, so fan sites have to just report about what they witnessed??? That sounds so ridiculous! 🤷‍♂️

I apologize if this was a dream for some collectors, however I am personally content if the Cantina does not fund. For the price there are so many better settings Hasbro can do instead, particularly something Imperial like one of the Death Stars or a Star Destroyer. Cups can only be so exciting...

And still no word on weathering. Drat.

I'd like to know what is holding up the 'roof' bit over the bar. I know there will be little posts at the end but that's just one end. If the rest is just the thin little posts on the drinks bit I can see some of those posts developing stress marks.

Sounds like a very weird experience Tim. Why on earth did they do this? Why have they released the video on their RU-vid, what’s the logic in keeping it as a private presentation and then having those if you who saw it pass it on when you are all slightly baffled by this bizarre marketing strategy. They seem to have lost their way as regards marketing this Haslab. Numbers at least seem to be going up, I’m still optimistic we’ll reach all the tiers, but if not looks like we might get them anyway 🤷🏻 or not 😂

Modular means cheaper to manufacture

I’m reading there will be 11 figures and only 3 are new characters. If there ever was a reason to release 11 obscure never before released cantina aliens it was now. Instead 8 characters that have more than four variations or releases is kinda a sad let down.

Of course they say that they wont do the three basic figures, because than they can sell more Cantinas. I would say the same if I were them. However, I think it's very unfair to collectors on a budget not to release these figures. To be honest, after a few conversations at Celebration last year, I'm very disillusioned with Hasbro's TVC representatives. I found them to be very arrogant and not very empathetic in personal conversations. Their answers to my questions were very monosyllabic and they also interrupted me. Well, it is what it is.

Hasbro's as shady as Disney Lucasfilm, saying stuff but not telling or explaining anything.
