  • 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @jasonweatherly9956

    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.

    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.

    • @noskillcustoms
      @noskillcustoms  Місяць тому +1

      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.

    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).

      I agree…it’s looking pretty dire! I can’t believe it’s still so far from backing in the first place!

    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.

    • @noskillcustoms
      @noskillcustoms  Місяць тому

      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.
