Yoda, knowing he will not financially recover from this campaign.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spend a lot money and time<\/em> on Star Wars<\/em> toys. Normally, a reveal like yesterday’s Haslab TVC Gunship<\/a><\/strong> 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<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
