While we observe the progress on the Haslab Gunship (now at 3064 backers), we’re anticipating what else could/should come to support the Battle of Geonosis campaign for 2026. None of my hopes are contingent on the success of the Gunship, but it sure would be wizard if it was. The Haslab Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship is available for backing until Sept 8. at 11:59pm ET at HasbroPulse.com

Editorial Addendum: I’ll Take a Haslab Gunship with Waffles on the Side
After my initial gut reaction toward the cost of the Haslab LAAT/i Gunship, I have in fact waffled and backed the campaign. This was not out of pressure, FOMO or being a “corporate shill” for Hasbro. Of figures & vehicles in my collection, the ones I have the most of will either be directly compatible with the gunship or be supplemental to any sort of display that I’d be able to assemble – and that is before any of the new products that are coming for the Battle of Geonosis campaign. The Haslab Cantina, while a fine display in and of itself isn’t super “action oriented” nor serves as a real “toy” in the traditional sense – something the LAAT/i Gunship excels in (it is also cheaper than the deluxe Cantina of which I bought two). If you haven’t taken the time to watch the last video, it helped sell me on the LAAT – it is really a fantastic offering*.
#backtvc is a collector wide campaign, not something we either claim ownership or demand blind support. Adults in the room can make smart decisions and still #backtvc only if makes it financial sense for them. I encourage responsibility in collecting and not let those with an online “influence” pressure you one way or another.
*Yes I still hate the price.

Editorial: I Love Everything About the Haslab TVC Gunship But…
Time for some real talk. First off, as of this writing, I have yet to back this campaign. To say I heard a bit about it before the campaign officially launched would be overselling it. I knew of the project itself but not the tiers nor the final price and when the latter was revealed, I clutched my chest and then my wallet.
I spend a lot money and time on Star Wars toys. Normally, a reveal like yesterday’s Haslab TVC Gunship would have me very excited with zero hesitation on backing such a fantastic piece. I think the overall design/size, features, details, deco, and customizable options are excellent – even the tiers are fine as we are all now trained to know that the figures aren’t locked behind this Haslab, just the cardbacks. But that price. ZOINKS! I can’t help but think that if this had lights and sounds included the sticker shock wouldn’t be so intense. Or if it was $50 less ($399) where it psychologically doesn’t cross the $400 threshold, I think they’d have a sure fire hit. Another drawback this has for some is that for a “dream project”, it charts into “been there, done that” waters as many of us have multiple gunships already (granted they are 20+ years old). I think we need to put out of our minds that realistically, the Haslab model can’t only be for never before made items. It takes too many possibilities off the table.
Is this party over before it’s even really started? I don’t think so, but I think this may be the first true test of will for many, including myself, and it could shape future Haslabs and possibly the Vintage Collection line itself if this pulls a Rancor and falls short of its minimum funding goal. We’ll see in September.
TVC 2026: Battle of Geonosis Campaign Launches
Hasbro has officially closed the chapter on the Return to Tatooine program for 2025 (but more cantina characters are coming according to Emily). In 2026, Hasbro heads to the frontlines for the Battle of Geonosis as their themed campaign in which the Haslab Gunship is its first offering. If this campaign is anything like the Return to Tatooine, I’d expect similar types of products to supplement it, including playsets, vehicles, beasts and of course figures!
