Bret over at BanthaSkull.com has a great post this morning summarizing the timeline of the Haslab Mos Eisley Cantina campaign and gives some great points on why it was a success in the face of some unprecidented and unpredictable challenges.
Recent shipping data shows that the sold out Vintage Collection Jabba the Hutt w/8D8 and Salacious Crumb Set has started to arrive in the U.S.. Expected release date is currently set for Sept. 15.
Amazon has uploaded info/images for the rumored exclusive Black Series Halloween Edition 2pk featuring the Inquisitor as Dracula and a Duros Bounty Hunters as Frankenstein’s monster. It was available for preorder briefly early this morning. Look for an official announcement soon.
The Haslab campaign has officially closed for the Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina. Despite the final day surge, reaching 14,737, there were not enough backers to unlock the final tier for Arleil Schous. But we are getting 5 all new figures, taking some of the sting out of the truncated backing window. Which ever version you decided to back, and however many you decided to back, thanks!
Thanks to the Hasbro Star Wars and Haslab teams for putting together another stellar campaign. I look forward to whatever may be coming along to keep the Vintage Collection going, reminding us of a simpler time just being a kid with his/her Star Wars toys.
