      @Masonicbrother Před 8 dny

      @@drentrop9525 I don't care who backs it, as long as it gets backed, it only helps all of us by getting those tiers unlocked. Everyone that wants it for the "cheap" price of 4-500 bucks have already backed it or are backing it before July 8th. Anyone waiting after that, will just have to suffer the ebay prices. Depending on how many get made, if it's low like the Sail Barge expect to pay well over 1k for it. If its plenty like The Ghost or Razer Crest than it will be a few hundred+ more. The Tonnika Sisters though will be worth a fortune on the aftermarket. 200+ each easy just to start. If it ends at just 8k-10k that means there will only be that many Tonnika Sisters in the world, dear lord that will be rare and in demand on day one. They will pay for the set alone lol.

    Given that it is such a High End/Definitive item, all the Alcove Outside Walls should be textured/weathered. Not just the main entrance.
    Dioramas could extend to the sides of the cantina as well, with textured/weathered walls.

    • @custodiancolorzoo870
      @custodiancolorzoo870 Před 8 dny

      It will fund with flying colors & it will hit at least 2 tiers. Assuming it follows the pattern of all other HasLabs (including those that didn’t fund - which it is well ahead of despite the shorter funding window). It would have to be totally unique to not fund. Getting 6 figures is within reason when you compare to other campaigns.
      But it will hit all 3 if you fence sitters get on it and BACK IT ASAP. The more time we have the upswing, the more tiers we will hit. You have nothing to lose, you don’t get charged till the thing ends. And then you have 30 days to cancel. So just do it if you want it at all, otherwise you will be paying much more when you get full FOMO seeing everyone’s displays and those gold figures only available in this HasLab.

    7,686 with 314 backers to go now. it will hit 8k either tonight or sometime tomorrow. Then the FOMO tidal wave will start to hit during the final 3 days. We will see how many tiers will unlock before it ends. It is certainly gonna fund, getting around 20 backer's an hour give or take.

      HASBRO PULSE NEEDS TO SWEETEN THE POT BY INCLUDING ALL FIGURES WITHOUT TIER GOALS. Sorry OnlyOne- I usually agree with you but I'm starting to feel scammed by Hasbro.....
      It's July 4th and I just canceled my deluxe cantina order...
      Why?
      I told myself if it can hit just ONE tier, I'll keep the order, and it hasn't by design.
      I can tell that greedy Hasbro set this campaign for only 30 days to hit 11,000 for lousy Greedo, (a name better suited for the Hasbro Corporation) which is a hard sell, after we all just backed the Ghost.
      They released this campaign before we've even received the Ghost! (Which I spent $1000 on for 2).
      They know what they're doing. They want to give you the bare minimum, and charge more and more.
      I don't mind paying more, heck I'd buy 2 sets, but don't nickel and dime me.
      Just announce that ALL tiers are now included, and I'd buy 2. Or at least lower the tier amount, do something, shoot throw in Nabrum and I will fund 2 right now. Hasbro has barely placed any ads for this. I am still getting CZcams adds for the E-wing! What gives?

    • @ToysOfTheJedi

      I have no concern that they will come through with the Ghost as they have done with the other successful projects so far, but yes, having the best part of a grand tied up in product you haven't recieved is frustrating. I also backed the GI Joe Dragonfly and just had the delay notification email pushing it back to December. Again, frustrating, but I'd rather wait and have a better product when it does arrive.
      Thanks for your comment and I'm sure you'll love the Ghost when it arrives.

      I really can't see them revisiting the Mos Eisley cantina again after this. I have the old cardboard one from 1997, and the bar parts from 2004 and they're nice, but don't quite cut it.

      @@ToysOfTheJedi lets put crowdfunding get out of their heads and maybe we would see a profitable cantina and available for everyone ( without figures nor deluxe versiions or without so Many cups jeez XD ) for 200 usd.

      @@ToysOfTheJedi Technology is getting better. 3D printers are about to get smoother and more user friendly. Are you saying that not ONE of the nerdy, angry, previously Hasbro Pulse customers won't start spitting out cheaper cantina's just out of spite, ever? Sounds like a challenge. I just saw someone 3D print a massive Rouge One Black series scale Imperial combat assault tank.

      There will NEVER be an official Cantina cheaper than this!!! You who say such ridiculous things are totally delusional and stuck in a decade or more economy. The figures alone are going to be worth what this costs now. And dummies are going to pay for them in a year when these get sent out and reality sets in, haha…

    $500?? You collectors destroyed the toy industry and also have serious issues if you're willing to pay this price. This is cool but $150 at most and that's pushing it.

      I'm afraid the toy industry landscape has changed and its been a long time since this would be feasible to produce for $150. I'm not disagreeing that $500 is expensive, but $150 is completely unrealistic

      @@ToysOfTheJedi There not much to it. Tooling sure but they could easily have put this in the stores. I just checked my GI JOE Cobra Terror Drome box and and the sticker price was $49.99. That's $143 adjusted for inflation. And thats larger with tons of parts. The USS Flagg adjusted for inflation is still below $300. $150 is not unrealistic.
      Collectors have ruined the market price wise and quality wise. They know you guys will pay crazy amounts even though the quality is just keeps dropping.

      @@standepain inflation, yes, but those toys were made when plastic was far cheaper and Chinese labour was waaaaaaaaaay cheaper, both costs have increased considerably more than inflation since the 1980s. If you can find a Mos Eisley Cantina of this size and quality for cheaper, let me know, I'll gladly pick one up.
