- I know you’re on the fence about the Haslab Cantina, let me break it down for you. I’ll compare it to the movie and to custom cantinas. I talk about possible ways to maximize your display, and address the common criticisms of this set. Plus I look at the various figure offerings and discuss their accuracy and possible reuse.
Hey Bert, I wanted to let you know that you are by far my favorite 3.75 Star Wars content creator. The amount of research you put into these things is insane, and I find all of your videos very helpful! Keep up the amazing videos!
That means a lot, thanks!

I'm 100% buying the Cantina
This is hands down the best description anywhere online. Thanks it’s great.
Thank you!
I backed a Deluxe and a Standard. Had to. This is the ultimate Haslab for me.
Ive backed 1 deluxe 2 basic…. Hope to open and have a carded set… then one as investment… id be happy if it limped to 11k as everything will be rare
I did the exact same thing. I’m really excited for this one!
I have bought one. It is great that I bought all the figures two years ago to make my own one that I fullfil with all the customs figures with a lot of you advice and help. Thank you!
Great to hear! That’s why I make these videos!
Nice video. Thanks for the support and ideas.
Thanks! I’m honored to know that you watched it. I don’t know if I made it clear enough, but I am truly excited for this set!!! I hope you got to see my other Cantina Haslab video, too- I think you’ll like it!

Awesome and incredibly in depth analysis! Thanks for putting in the time. I’ve gotten really tired of channels that focus too much in negativity and have started blocking them, and unfortunately Retroblasting was one of those. Yeah, I get it, Hasbro didn’t give you what you want. They don’t give me what I want a lot of the time, but I don’t need a 2 hour video on why your butthurt about it. This here though, this type of content I would sit through for hours. You point out the issues that disappoint you, but you also offer solutions and options to improve upon the short comings, which is why you absolutely rock! Love the content!
Fully agree: I’m here for the aliens.
You are spot on with your comments about the significance of the Cantina scenes. From 1977 until 1983, with the exception of Bossk, Zuckuss, Yoda, & the Ugnaughts, the Cantina scenes were the only source of aliens in the SW Universe.
Exactly!…plus the aliens were my favorite toys to play with, too!
Amazing video! I thought i had pretty good knowledge on my favourite Star wars scene but.... you took it next level! I am backing a regular and deluxe set. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I too am backing a regular and deluxe set!
Truly awesome attention to detail. I'm rethinking how I'm going to approach displaying the Cantina and I'm definitely adding some lighting. The 7-pack Cantina band was recently on sale here in the UK so picked it up cheap. Its already doubled in price on eBay here too but old cantina bar sections and cups seem to have dropped off in price.
Also, you are totally correct on the crazy prices of older Cantina figures on eBay. People just need to be patient and see what Hasbro released or re-releases through to winter 2025.
Agreed! I just wished Hasbro would have announced them ahead of time, ya know?
If Stan Solo did a Cantina Retro Blasting would tell us it's best thing ever... Because he'd have a free one to 'review'..
I think we can disagree with Retroblastings opinion without accusing him of dishonesty.
@@jessegpresley well if he was 'honest' we wouldn't have to.. do you really think he pays for his SS stuff?
Ive backed 1 deluxe 2 basic…. Hope to open and have a carded set… then one as investment… id be happy if it limped to 11k as everything will be rare
I just really hope that Arleil Schous gets made because he’s on my most wanted list! Also I backed the deluxe edition.
Yes, I love Mr. Schous! Maybe they’ll find some kindness in their hearts and put him in a 4 pack if his tier doesn’t get met
@@noskillcustomsI really hope that happens!
I did the same math in the Facebook TVC group concerning price comparisons with Hole in the Ground Productions (no shade on him intended whatsoever, I love his stuff, and his speeders will be parked outside my Haslab bar when I get it). It is crazy to me that so many people are out there saying they should just be getting the other options available instead of backing this project. I mean, the Haslab is way cheaper if you match its price with what else is available. Then, there is the shipping on the heavy resin vs the Haslab lightweight plastic. Thanks for spelling it all out for the people, Bert. Hope it gets fully backed.
I had been eying all that stuff on Hole in the Ground pro for years! I’m glad that Hasbro is starting to recognize how much demand there is for that sort of stuff, but I wish the Cantina was selling in bigger numbers. I’ve spent hours exploring the stuff on HITGP I could use about 12 of those energizer boxes alone, some of those octagonal imperial computer terminals- the list goes on and on. But yeah, basically it’s cheaper and easier if Hasbro makes it.
Awesome video Bert. Very well thought out as always! This is such an awesome set and I can't wait.
Thanks, I’m very much looking forward to it, too!
Look at the Jabbas Playset. There's no roof but they made the top look finished so when you look down, it doesn't just look like unfinished plastic studs etc. I kinda wish the bar had a finished look at the top (not a ceiling).
Yeah, don’t know why I didn’t mention Jabba’s Palace in that section…what you’re saying is pretty much what I was trying to convey.
@14:50 great catch on the missing Cantina bass instrument!
Jedi Ryan gets all the credit, funny I never saw Hasbro mention it though
Preordered this! Here's hoping it gets backed!
Great job. And Yes! On making the lower arms on nabrun smaller. Come on hasbro!
Its a must if you miss out on these Cantina that's on you I'm not deluxe cantina set
I keep trying to convince people to get it, you know?
@@noskillcustoms its their lost
You made so many great points- Hasbro should hire you to sell this! Great video 🎉
You speak of options for floors. I think a custom printed neoprene mat would be an excellent choice…
I’ve never worked with it before, but you’re right, it probably would work nicely.
Wow, great video! You should've done the haslab marketing lmao
It’s funded 🎉 3 days 13 hours to go - let’s reach some tiers
Yes, I don’t want to miss out on Arleil Schous!
You forgot about the Imperial Dignitaries on the Death Star with the Emperor and guards, there are like 5 or 6 different ones with different costumes.
Good point, yes there are six different guys, but I believe only 2 actually show up in the throne room of the second Death Star.
Retro biching always complaining about something. I'm so stoked to get this. By the way I just discovered your channel couple months ago and I absolutely love it. Keep this content coming
Glad you like the channel! Tell a friend!
I wish I could get two sets but I can only get one so I'm going all in on the deluxe set
The be all, end all take on the Haslab Cantina. Berthalomew, you may not have a doctorate in Art (probably useless)...but you have one in Star Wars, and action figure theory (you likely use it every day, as others like me use your knowledge). And WE love being in your class...I'm the kid who leaves the apple in Raiders on the way out the door...🍎✌🏼I'll leave the writing on eyelids to other kids in the class, though.😂
Great video man, especially liked your mockup about placing Greedo and Han up front.
Glad you enjoyed it!

We're not even at 7k backers yet and we have a week to go. Are we going to get a last minute rush of backers? I really want the wolfman figure, doubt if we'll even get to Greedo.
Haslabs are built on hope
Brilliant analysis. Nicely done!
Thank you!
Its going to take me awhile to fill the cantina, but I backed one.
If they were ever going to do a TVC Haslab, it was the Cantina
Yes, exactly! I’ve heard people say they want a star destroyer or a more accurately scaled shuttle, but to me they don’t have as much display potential.
Great set, I can't afford it but you can have everything. I'll make my own and it's a great reference set
You've never heard or seen Agatha Vincent's Cantina? The most highly detailed and accurate rendition of the cantina that you'll ever see in your life.
Yes, I should have mentioned hers- pretty amazing work- especially all those cool back rooms and whatnot.
Je suis le 4500e contributeur du projet Haslab Cantina.
Deluxe version.
I went with the deluxe, too.
I'm backing the deluxe. It's not perfect. I wish it had complete exterior walls, a floor, and a roof. Roof and floor would be removable for those want the cantina to fit on shelves.
I have a sense they are not going to get it funded. There is only 8 days left and they're about 1,500 short to say nothing of meeting stretch goals. If they extend it to 45 days like they should of it might get backed
I agree…it’s looking pretty dire! I can’t believe it’s still so far from backing in the first place! I think they should stop doing tiers…they’re supposed to bring excitement, but all they do is create trepidation…the number of people I’ve heard say,”I’d back it if we were guaranteed 6 figures!”
It'll fund, the last day of a Haslab is always bigger than the first day.
Yeah, it looks like it’s picking up already!
@@noskillcustomsIt will back. its already doing better than 2 other haslabs that were equally as slow at this same stage but they met their stretch goals. Ive just backed 3 deluxe sets and i only collect black series I will keep one and this can be my dip into vintage.
I agree about Arleil's face being too brightly colored (he's a bat monster, whereas Lak is the classic werewolf man). Hoping Hasbro will color correct it but at this rate I don't even have hope that we'll reach his tier unlock, which sucks because he's my most wanted cantina figure. :(
For brand new cantina figures, not counting Arleil, the one I want most is Reegesk. Big rat dude is a fantastic addition and we've never had a figure of his species before in any form. Tzizvvt and Atheloe are musts as well since we also haven't had their species represented in figure form yet. Otherwise, I'd gladly take the second Duros Chachi, the second Saurin Sai'torr, Braconner, Garouf, Rycar, Danz, the other spacemen, the off duty Bith and Swilla. The patrons who I think need a remake the most are Lak, Djas and Labria (inaccurate costumes, horribly outdated articulation) plus maybe Melas since the Ketwol gimmick is awful (though I'm not fond of these guys replacing my favorite character's scenes in the SE so not too big on them getting a new figure). Boshek probably deserves one too but honestly think the old figure is fine since when we see him he's standing around the bar anyway and the old figure does that just fine.
I’m hoping maybe they still release him as part of a cantina 4 pack somewhere down the line, it’d be a shame if we never got that figure.
I’m thinking about buying another for resale value.
I just did…Deluxe for myself, and a Base set to resell (at least parts)
Haslab marketing sucks. That's why this hasn't funded yet. Whoever is head of marketing needs to be fired.
This is how I would market the bar:

😀👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
So many ads are ruining your vids!
Don’t get me wrong I really love making these videos, but I do try to justify the amount of time I spend making these videos by the little bit of money UA-cam sends my way…should I do a patreon instead? I just feel like that would demand more time that I can’t really promise I’d have, ya know?
