Is the HasLab Star Wars Cantina Worth It?

- Hasbro officially debuted its HasbLab Star Wars The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina today. It's got a ton of features and shows that the team has learned from previous mistakes, but is it worth $400 or $500?
I break it down, but I want to hear your thoughts as well.

“They all got carded which is fitting for a bar” is maybe the best action figure related joke I’ve ever heard. 😂😂😂cheers!
Thank you! Sometimes I get an inspired line :-)
I am amazed and impress with this Haslab Cantina. My kids and I buy and collect 3.75 inch Star Wars TVC and the main reason is we can get this kind of playsets and vehicles. We decided to get a deluxe and a base offerings, to play with one and the other to display. Is not to late to change over to 3.75 inch TVC. I never was interested in 6 inch, as my Father bought me 3.75 inch and my kids only buy that scale as well. My older children say that they will impart to their children to enjoy 3.75 inch, and that is going to be 4 generations.
That's pretty cool man. It must be fun to share in your collecting passion with your kids and they're already talking about doing the same with their kids.
“Baby I’m worth it…” I’m not a vintage Star Wars guy, but if I was, I would absolutely want this. It’s very nicely done.
They really did put a lot of love in this set, didn't they?
Yes and yes once I saw the twins I got the deluxe cantina it's beautiful I've been wanting this for a long time I've been holding on too my cantina figures for years I could have sold them but something kept telling me ,just hold on too them I'm glad i did ,Hey you guys we can do this ❤️💯
Congrats man. It's coming together for you!
How many cantina figures have they done so far?
@@LylesFigureFiles i believe I have about 30 or more from years of buying them an other odd looking starwars aliens,,just too pack away, thinking too myself one day we'll get a cantina,an that day has come, Plus you can't really beat the price,alot of 3D printers said that they could make a cantina but they asking for thousands of dollars,they where too high
"Wuher..Got y"all in check." Genius sir!
:-) Thank you!
Just stumbled on your channel, great review!
Like the T-shirt also by the way, 007 would be proud.
As for the Cantina, looks pretty good. I’m a sucker for any kind of lighting w/ things like this-I would opt For some kind of Amber LED strips hidden away in the ceiling that I might add when time comes.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words. It's gonna be fun seeing how collectors light it up and display it.
Yes, I agreed 100% with you, a floor piece could be perfect in this case!!!
Thanks. I wonder if flooring would warp like some of the Extreme Sets floors?
@@LylesFigureFiles maybe! I think HASBRO decided not to have flooring due to the customization of the canteen vs space and placement location. Maybe adding that flooring can limit people’s creativity!
A lot of people who back the Cantina will have Wuher and the Tonnikas on display. Which means that carded versions of them will be quite rare. On top of that the Tonnikas have never been made. Mr. Stevie already announced that Wuher and the Tonnikas will only be available with the Cantina. The people who don't see the worth in this Haslab will be very surprised about the worth of those figures on the secondary market.
Oh, I'm sure it will be a good investment for them alone.
That's the thing, though. Let's face it, the sisters are the only thing that's actually worth something in this set. I doubt it costs Hasbro more than $100 to make a bunch of plastic walls, round tables and small cups. They are simple shapes with minimal sculpt work required, save perhaps the central area where Wuher will stand in.
@@enrique6335 Wuher will be pretty pricey as well. Just like the Tonnika sisters he's not one of the Original 96, so the community isn't pressuring Hasbro to release him in the mainline.
Great breakdown and valid points! I have a hard pause on both Black Series and TVC, but this cantina will go nicely with our collecting style. I'd like a lower price like most but ... I'll probably jump in on this joker lol. Have a great weekend brother 🤙🏽
Thanks JB! The Cantina is a nice looking set. Can't wait to see the next toy run videos!
It needs a little more work, but I'm so in. Too many cups means that we can simply exceed the maximum occupancy for this bar. What's the worst that could happen? Other figures we may soon see from the Cantina are found in the newest episode of Today's Special ua-cam.com/video/bRWMeqWDZR4/v-deo.html. Thank You and Enjoy!🤩
Accessing value is easy if you like it and want it buy it. No one else determines what you should or should not buy but the buyer.
Very true.
I already backed the base offering and am excited for it. I was actually hesitant about this (I really wanted a TVC Havoc Marauder w/Bad Batch) but seeing the official reveal got me hyped and I hope all the unlocks are reached. I do cherrypick BS already and I'm thinking of minimizing my purchasing there even more to just Clone/Stormtroopers, some battle droids, and the occasional bounty hunter. As frustrating as TVC can be with its lack of several characters, getting world building pieces like this Cantina and the Throne Room or ships like the Ghost and E-Wing is really cool.
It is a very cool component of collecting TVC. Just an option Hasbro doesn't seem willing to explore much these days with the Black Series line. I'm sure all the tiers will fund for it!
A floor would have been epic !! I backed the deluxe 😊😊.
Nice! I'd love to see how you set it up with the rest of your collection.
Question, was there a stage where the band performed?
No, it was filmed in a different location. The band fits in one of those booths though.
No, there was never an actual stage, it was just an alcove in the set…
Chance B. got you covered!
For $500 I think they could include a set of loose figures. TVC collectors love to have their unopened figures. If you don't open these exclusive to Haslab figures, you don't have anyone to put in there.
I wonder if there's a market for loose and MOC figures in this kind of set, which would make it more expensive.
I thought $350 for Loosecollectors Death Dealer was insane, but $500 for some cups and walls and a pay wall for in-demand characters is pure madness!
I would hope they wouldn't keep the Tonnika sisters locked to the HasLab given this real demand for them.
400€,
it’s half the size of regular haslabs (I’m aware the width)
And if it’s not coming with the band what’s the point.
Obi, Luke, han and chewie, two troopers needs to be included too
Luke, Obi, Han and Chewie were pipelined for the mainline. I'm glad that the main heros aren't locked behind a paywall.
I think they'd have a lot of folks upset if they included Han, Luke, Chewie and Obi-Wan in the set. GTB mentioned they are coming. In some of the photos on the UA-cam stream, you can see the darkened updated versions.
Great work with this playset. Plenty of details and looks pretty good IMO. If I could've added anything to this, it would have been small led lights, magnetic surfaces for the tables and bar so the cups don't get knocked over and lost, and yes, a floor with maybe some pegs for figures and somewhere to port the chairs and tables into. I only collect Black Series but I am envious at the vehicles and playsets the vintage collection gets.
It's weird that a $500 offering doesn't have some basic LED lighting. I wish we could get a fraction of these TVC vehicles and playsets for the Black Series.
This would have been my dream come true ten years ago when I was still collecting Star Wars figures in the 1/18 scale. The Cantina is my favorite location and scene in the entire Star Wars saga. This set looks amazing and I love the figures they included. But... I'm not a TVC collector anymore and I won't back this.
I wish, though, they offered a single one of the modular alcoves. I would buy that to display my TVC Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes figures.
I wonder if folks would parcel off some of the alcoves once they realize they don't have the space for it they assumed? Maybe there's still hope? And thanks for reminding me of Figrin D'an and crew!
I love your shirt. Where did you get it?
Thanks! This one I grabbed a minute ago at a comic con around 2017.
Regarding the point you made about someone bumping into a table and moving your setup, I think the ideal solution would have been to make the pieces and floor magnetic, but obviously, that would increase the cost.
Yeah all of the solutions I'm thinking of would, like you said, just raise the price of an already expensive project.
@@LylesFigureFiles it would probably worth cutting a few of the accessories, especially the coolness factor of magnetic parts for Gen X Star Wars fans.
Now we need Tonnika Sisters in Black Series! As for their likeness, one is dead and the other wants her Figure made.
Yeah, they would be nice additions in the BS line. At least there we know they won't be locked in a HasLab ;-)
Excited to see the box art / packaging
That should be pretty cool!
Finally The Tonnika sisters 👏🤣👍👍
I'm catching up on the struggle to get them made. Crazy!
I wish Hasbro would've put some electronics with that droid detector.
That would have been nice!
I would love this, but how do you display? There is no flooring, not sure where the band goes, missed opportunity on Akmena and her short friend, the bigger bouncer, and Krelman. If you know, you know. And lastly, the owner of the Cantina, Chalmund. Thank you for the breakdown. Sorry, I have not taken the chance to thank you for your videos. Peace.
Thanks so much for the kind words Pete!
Hasbro posted a video of the set on a bookcase using 2-3 shelves. It looked pretty solid and showed how you could do it if you lacked massive shelf space.
Now you've got me looking up some more of this Cantina crew ;-)
I wonder what's changed so that they can now make the Tonnika Sisters? Kenner/Hasbro has been trying to get their likeness rights since the 70's and have always been denied.
The one who wouldn't is dead, the other wants her Figure made.
@@BladeStar-uq6xe thank Boba Fett! she did nt get the memo.... too bad D
I had no idea this was such a long running demand to get them made!
Two attractive human women in a bar full of Aliens, many of whom look like monsters. Of course they would get their own fan following.
If i still collected SW figs this scale or the Vintage series i’d probably get this. Expensive but if you want it bad enough it’s hella nice.
Right! It's not cheap, but man it's impressive.
So if you get the standard version you will get all 5 figures??
So long as it reaches all the tier thresholds. With the base offerings you get Wuhur and the Tonnika sisters. The others are tiers you'll automatically get once they sell 17,000.
Ok I’m fairly certain the tables were with legacy collection years ago along with the cups. I dint think there’s enough new to back this. It needs a floor to bring this price to almost fairness.
What did they release the tables with in the Legacy Collection?
@@LylesFigureFiles I want to say Obi wan was one of them. But there were a couple. The cups were with almost all the cantina patrons.
Another awesome cantina for the vintage star wars figures it cost £400 pounds
Is that a bad deal for y'all, Mark?
@@LylesFigureFiles I would never pay 400pound
Is it worth it? Who knows? All i know is that by the time the Cantina is released people will pay almost double for it on the secondary market. Happened with every single TVC Haslab. Don't sleep!
Oh, I'm sure. There's always folks who regret it and then are willing to overpay for it later.
You mentioned that the two price options are tracked together. It's interesting that (assuming this funds) Hasbro is collecting an UNKNOWN number between $3.2 and $4 million, before unlocks. $800k is in play depending on how many people get the deluxe. (for you high school scholars out there, these numbers are not profit)
I think this is the first time they've done something with a deluxe offering, right? Very curious how they're not just showing us those numbers since it doesn't necessarily matter to us.
i just realized, they had flat tables in the booths, not those round ones, flat tables like at mcd's when you are on either side of the table on booth seats, so you could point a gun under the table, han can't point a gun under that round table thing
That's such a weird thing for them to miss! Interesting. Wonder what happened there.
This isn't for me, but I think it's as cool as it could be, and I'm happy for Vintage Collection fans who want this.
Yeah, the Vintage Collectors are really winning with some of these cool offerings.
Definitely need some of these characters in the Black Series line up.
I hope so! Wuhur and the sisters would be major.
Yes GIjoe and Star Wars do better in the 3.75 to 4 inch scale for world building dioramas and vehicles hands down! I collect both and Hasbro is distancing themselves from Black series it seems
I'm glad the BS line is finally knocking out some of my major wants from the prequels and re-releasing some of the figures I missed out earlier.
I think it's an excellent offering, but those price tags are a lot of financial strain just now in this economy. Gotta save my pennies for other things that I need more. I mean, I'd rather have the Stinger and the upcoming Joe figures, and the Marvel Legends yet to come than a Cantina display piece. Hasbro is forcing fans to choose our poisons, I reckon. It's a beautiful Haslab, but I'll be interested in seeing if it actually makes goal or not. Money's tight, and there's a lot of fine product people want to get. Hasbro is competing with itself for my wallet these days.
That's a great point. I know they like the big reveal of these HasLabs, but it does tend to hurt them in some regards I'd think.
@@LylesFigureFiles I'm wish them well. If it goes through, you know these cantinas will be front and center in a lot of peoples vintage SW displays. If I could afford this one, I'd go for it. The quality is there, I think. For me, the money isn't, unfortunately.
Maybe one of the Unlockables can be the entire cantina band
I thought they made them in TVC scale already?
They made a Model Nodes band 7 pack a year or so ago. In the army builder packaging, i own it, cost me 80 bucks at the time.
Yikes, that was very disappointing. My LEGO set has plenty of more characters. However, I’m very excited to get TVC Luke, Ben, Han, & Chewie
They are at least getting an updated Luke for you!
💯 Great breakdown Jeff!
7:13 well, *_cheers_* mate, I guess this is for those that like to get away... _far, far away._
Nice coverage.
Heh-heh. Thanks my friend!
If they included Norm, then yes it's worth it.
LOL. I would buy an entire Cheers line with zero hesitation.
If got the vintage collection would 100% Back it, But with the with the price of the vintage collection compared to Black Series not being that much difference stick with Black Series. I way this could be Done in Black Series is build a playset. Bar with Bartenter and all the additional pieces sold with Other Cantina Members in Sections. Doesn't need to be sold all at once. Think the Pulse sale is going to hurt it. Why have a huge sale going on and run a Haslab at same time. There are other things want that are on pulse but waiting on picking up since by time sale has run its course fully expect everything looking at will be part of sale.
I think the Black Series really should have some sort of BAF program. They tried it with Indy. Why not Star Wars?
The total price of that Boba Fett throne room will be higher when you add in the price of the reissue Jabba that's coming.
Good point. That's a pretty massive haul of figures and details there too.
The difference between the cantina and Jabba set is once the cantina time runs out it's over ,,,unless you want too go too SCALPERS alley /eBay an it's going too be double and triple the price ,where the Jabba set isn't a haslab it's plenty too go around 💯
True. I just wonder if they could have done this without the HasLab since they've done expensive Pulse exclusives.
@@LylesFigureFiles yes I believe so,I think the way they done this so if you want one or two you buy so it's not going too be a lot floating around specially like on different sites for clearance
NORM!!!!! ...er um hmm, I mean JEFF!!! 😂
It's definitely a niche piece and meant for someone who wants the immersive SW experience for their collection. $300 to 400 shouldn't phase that specific fan this is meant for.
I do think this a bit over priced for what it is, but TVC tends to be spendy anyway. However, comparison to the Ghost's price tag this is about $100 to 150 too much for what it is
LOL :-)
$1,000 CaD.......jokes are suppose to be funny...
Yikes. That is rough regardless of the conversion rate!
Looks great, but how many people actually have the room to actually display this? I will pass on this one. Yeah, it will provide some good photo ops, but you will also need to unload some serious coin just to fill it with the figures. I would have rather seen a Falcon or Imperial Shuttle.
In fairness, I don't know how easy it'd be to display the Falcon or Imperial Shuttle either. And yet I still would be all in for a BS Falcon.
I think it's pretty cool. I don't like the figure choices. GREEDO???? How many Greedos have we gotten. The other two tiers are already made as well. But that hooka is awesome. That price is really high though, don't know if I could justify it.
@WalksandTalks2023 well yeah, and so are the other figures. The 4 arm dude came out in the early 2000s, so I would hope so. My point is that there are still some unmade denizens, I would have rather seen at least one more.
I wish I had the massive space to truly do a TVC setup, but it seems like that'd be the only line I could collect at this rate.
It's definitely not worth 399.99 .
I believe Hasbro has gotten away with strep prices on all of these projects .
I own 2 of them , soon to be 3 when Giant Man arrives .
I'm sick of crowd funding.
Especially when you look at some of the GI Joe vehicles that get sold on Hasbro Pulse .
That Jeep made me kind of angry .
When you look at what they tried to charge for the Engine of Vengeance , what they charged for some of the vehicles for GIJoe Haslabs .
People should be upset .
I still don't understand what their thinking was with that EOV price point. I remember thinking how happy I was with the pricing for the VAMP. So much better than I expected. I think some of the pricing gets dicey with the licenses Hasbro pays for compared to their own. The Joe and TF ones always seem priced better.
I also agree with you about second hand suppliers . Someone will get the best views of the floor in the Cantina in A New Hope and start selling them for $50 or more .
$50 for a chunk of plastic that will fit everything probably 36( a yard ) by 24 .
I wish they would’ve added an Ackmena (Bea Arthur) figure as a super tier. It would’ve been nice to put the Modal Knodes in the photos.
She would have made a fun tier addition.
It looks great, but a bit high on the price, happy for vintage collectors, those ladies have to be too old to be a legal threat.
LOL. Yeah, the Vintage Collectors are making out pretty well with these last few HasLabs!
579,99€ in Europe
imagine the price in space... astronomical! D
Goodness! That is a hefty price for international customers.
I like it
Yeah, it's pretty solid!
Worth it? Nope. But it'll still fund.
I don't think it's gonna have a problem hitting those tiers either.
Looks great. I'm impresaed but I don't collect vintage SW. So I thank Hasbro for saving me money.
I wish they could do both -- vintage and BS for HasLabs. Just space them out some.
@@LylesFigureFiles If my math is correct, 6 inch are 50% bigger than 3.75 inch (using 4 inch as the actual scale).
The price of this is already kinda high. Assuming a proportional increase in price, that's a lot of money for black series scaled cantina. (I could be wrong about this as I don't know how scaling and price works in toys)
No. Nowhere near worth it. Not even if it was 6" Scale. Compare what you get for $500 to the Ghost and its a massive difference. Another way to look at it is its $100 for the extra booths and seats. So if you took out the $100 set of booths and seats that comes in the $400 base set, then you're looking at $300 for the bar and entry piece, which is clearly not worth it. Its debatable if the booths and seats are worth $100 too, it doesn't look like much more than the Tantive playset which was much cheaper.
Why no floor? And where is the band supposed to go? Jabba'/Boba Fett's Throne Room is on sale for $150 right now if you're a pulse premium member.
I keep wondering what stopped them from including a floor with it since it's something that would kind of tie the entire set together.
Whats up with those tonnika sisters hair? That cultural appropriation. Lol, JK.
I am so stoked this got funded. I really only funded it for the figures. I almost bought custom tonnika sisters on ebay a few years back. Pretty sure they went for over $200. The fact that we getting 5 figures has made it worth it for me. Reall wish we got that werewolf guy. Hope they release him anyway
I feel bad for folks who wanted werewolf guy too!
Hello Jeffrey. Might be a fairish price for a Black Series Cantina. But this is Vintage scale. Same old Hasbro, over reaching.
What was The Ghost? That wasn't cheap either so I guess Hasbro thinks, probably rightly, that the TVC collectors will go for it.
For the same price you could buy a good 3D printer and just print one!!!!!
I wonder what 3D printer artists would do with this set up.
Nope. I’m not buying.
Me either
More money for Joes
I dont collect star wars 😂
LOL
Pass
