Some vintage fans are saying this playset isnt the way to go, that you guys are kind of a dying breed and new media would get more sales than this. I personally dont agree. It’s brought me back to this scale and now I will collect some vintage along with black series. Never has a black series collector clicked refresh so much on a VC haslab. I bought 3 deluxe and will be keeping 1.
Great video it’s great talking about this kind of stuff about Star Wars and the vintage collection and we do have a great community but hasbro are not really making enough figures from the vintage collection but they do make more figures from the black series so why is that and that’s is why some collectors are not happy with hasbro because they always make mistakes and not doing enough with the vintage collection
Great chat and analysis of the Haslab campaign from some of my absolute favourites in the TVC community. Jason is such a funny guy 😂 Only thing I’d like to see addressed is what seems to be a growing rift in the TVC community as there are some commentators out there criticising what they see as an over emphasis on the OT in TVC, caused by a few vocal, but influential individuals at the expense of PT, EU, new media, ST. I dont see it this way at all. Everyone has the chance to participate in March Madness, Last Figure Standing or to create a hashtag/campaign for a figure. Hasbro listens to the majority because that means guaranteed sales so if there was a big swing to ST for instance they would make figures. Some are saying the Haslab was a failure because people don’t want OT in big enough numbers and there’s no way Arliel should take up a slot. This livestream discussed lots of other reasons that the 17k target wasn’t reached and frankly, if Arleil is high in March Madness he will probably be made. The real problem at the heart of this is the limited TVC budget, most of us want figures from across OT, EU, PT, new media, even ST, but we have our own priorities. It saddens me that a rift seems to be being created and some angry exchanges on IG this week, when we all need to be concerted in telling Hasbro, like Augustin says, we want more.
A fantastic round up of the whole Haslab experience. Really pleased myself that its finally coming (albeit next year). Looking forward for welcoming the ghost to my collection now.
It's going to be interesting to see what reveals come out of SDCC next weekend. Well done everyone
Evening everyone
Tantive IV or Echo Base
Sorry I missed the stream! Will be watching the replay!
💪🤓
To play devi’ls advocate if they have a certain amount of items that theyve planned for the year and those items are scheduled to be announced at certain events then if they bump something forward would there not be complaints on that future event at a lack of announcements? If theyd have mentioned luke,han, ben and chewie that could have had fans guessing it was a death star playset who werent in the know. They cant win really. As Bart Simpson says damned if you do and damned if you dont. 😊
They could always shuffle things around. Maybe instead of pipelining 4 figures, they pipeline 2 and save the other 2 for a future stream that would have ordinarily had 4. This line is planned out at least for the next 18 months, so I don't think they'd have a problem with lack of product to announce.
I am not familiar with your channel. I follow other more broad toy channels and Tim Bossk’s channel. I am surprised I didn’t hear the cost $399 and $499 mentioned. Or, I am a GI Joe collector, as well as MOTU, but too many Haslabs in a row is hard financially.
Thank you for tuning in. While we have been talking about pricing nearly every stream for the past several weeks, you're right- we neglected talking about it this time. It is my understanding the percentage of folks who back multiple or most HasLabs is quite small, but certainly that would be a factor if someone was doing that.
With a shorter window wouldn't that hurt people that get paid monthly. It must have some kind of impact. I've only ever been paid monthly when I was in the army but I'm hearing about a lot of people that are still paid monthly. My brother and I backed 1 each through EB Games in Australia about 8 days before the end because we get paid every two weeks. We just happened to find out about it in time...
I agree. Plus it ends on a holiday weekend. If it went the traditional 5 weeks then it would have sold the over 17,000 they wanted. They were only 2 thousand or so short.
@@ronwolek1228 Thanks for the reply. To be honest this was the first HasLab I've ever backed. My brother I mentioned has backed several in the past, all through EB Games without a problem. I had to trust his judgement on it but we are both original trilogy kids with all the cantina dudes so I was on board for it.
He did tell me that the numbers would really spike on the last day and they did but I don't think as much as he thought they would. I'm happy with what we got. He's been silent for the last few days. A learning curve for us both I guess...
How long do you think they will release the sisters on the alt card retail? We collectors have a little challenge. Do we open right away or wait until retail and just get 2 , 1 for loose.
I really don't think they're going to release them again. I ordered multiple sets so that I could open the figures but also have carded samples. It's not ideal but it is what it is.
@VictoriasCantina ok that is different. Man, I makes me think though. Will they invest that much in tooling and never use it beyond exclusivity? 🤔 you would think they will get the most out of the tooling? Well, time will tell. Ironically someone just brought up the marshmallow challenge in a completely conversation and it got me thinking!
@@closetstarwarsfreak They might be able to repurpose parts of the figure to create other characters.
To Chris at Bantha Skull: for heaven's sake will you please stop bashing and mocking people who don't follow your advice to back early?! They are not stupid, they are just choosing to back at the time they are happy with. Imagine a future campaign where everyone takes your advice and backs early, but that a significant number of those backers only want it with all tiers. Let's say we get to the last but one tier with 20 days still to go, but then there are no more, or very few, backers, because they all took your advice. In the last day there is no spike, again, because they all backed early. Then in the last hours it becomes clear that all tiers won't unlock, all those who only want it with all tiers start cancelling (as you suggest) - we might see a dip in the last days rather than a spike. All (successful) HasLabs have followed the same pattern, just accept it is what it is, sure you can encourage people to back early, maybe even point out the potential advantages to the campaign, but stop bashing people please, this is causing division within the community.
