Additional nose art decals for the HasLab TVC LAAT/i Gunship are being added to the campaign, including fan-favorite ships like Bad Kitty and Plo’s Bros. These particular decos (too large for swappable panels) will be able to be added and removed for Gunship customization and will include a guide for placement.

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.
