Looks great..but Hasbro should have made an Ackmena figure as a tier exclusive instead of another Greedo

[patrickbirt]

Looks amazing, but where would I display something this big?

[msahmu]

Haven't backed a Haslab yet. However, this is one I am going to start saving for...

[LaurenceQuint]

Love it. Backing it. Just as an FYI, you might have missed this, but you can illuminate the tables and even some (all) of the wall-mounted lights by placing tea lights behind/under them. So while it doesn't come with lights, it is made for and meant for illumination if you choose.

[tperson]

This looks great, but I wouldn't back this and I typically don't collect modern.
You pretty much touched on everything I was going to say. :) haha

I'm interested in it more for photography/film and displaying vintage figures in there also.
I love that those pieces can be pulled out just enough to get a camera in those spaces.

I'm excited that they finally made the Tonnika sisters in the bartender does look great.
The only one I have is from the Commtech series from 1999.

I think they should have made a Greedo with a blast shot in his chest.

Thanks for the video

Way overpriced and there are fan made items being made that cover this with more of a Kenner feel and cheaper. It does have a lot of detail and looks nice for modern collectors.

[gerrystarchild]

I ordered the deluxe set 😊 only thing I wish they included a floor

[maverick]

It’s quite cool, but £500 for some plastic, not so much 😂

[kakarotprime]

This will come in at a little over $1000 Canadian. I just don't see the value

[thatguysstuff]

No floor no lights no fun


If they can give us a repro technodrome for 80 bucks ...then they could gives us alot more for the crazy ass price tag ...
Another toy company kicking us fans in the face agine !!!!

[FloridaKeysPirate]

This is great, and I will definitely be ordering at least one. But, I wish they'd get back to the days of including LIGHTS AND SOUND CLIPS.

[BryanNew-xg]

We need a play set depicting the Yavin base where they are surrounding the big round monitor, with the lite up screen behind them, and they’re viewing the battle, and maybe even have the screen where they viewed the Death Star plans.

Good time to make figures who haven’t been made, such as Commander Willard.

[samsara]

Too expensive in my opinion for those things...

[gacktisgod]

Thanks for this comprehensive review! I'm leaning toward a deluxe backing but I'm still slightly on the fence. I'd probably be persuaded by the inclusion of a floor of some kind, and something like a bandstand for the cantina band. Lighting inside the tables, even with a simple LED and swappable watch battery packs, would really convince me to get this.

As others have pointed out, almost all of this is 3D-printable, but on the other hand, that also means I have to sand, prime, paint, and assemble myself, which means I'd be spending more than $500 anyway, including my time, so it seems worth it. I'd probably add some weathering to it on my own.

How modular is the entryway piece? When they pulled it away in the video it looked like all one giant chunk, but I'd probably want to be able to swap that around to be "front-facing" for display. Not sure how I can put this on a shelf and be able to even see the entryway or outside facade at all if it's attached. Horizontally, it looks like it would be ok, but then the entrance would face the back of the shelf.

I really liked this. I have so much use for it myself not only for photography but one day (very soon) I am planning to have a house not only with my music Stuido but my Star Wars room with all my dioramas and collections in one separate room. This would be perfect for the section I am planning for the Tatooine Display. I just backed the Deluxe set myself. I remember back when they did the Jabba's Sail Barge for about the same price. I wish I had gotten that at the time because the second market prices are extremely high. I am hoping that one day that I will own that one myself but for now I am glad I backed this one. I figured that I deserved it and it is a reward for myself as a loved Star Wars fan. Not to motion I really love your video and explanation of it. I really am glad you are here on YouTube because as a collector I really do appreciate your input and feedback.

No Bea Arthur Bartender or harvey korrmen as a lovesick bar matron?

[retrospectivepunishment]

I understand that the original Elstree shooting set had no band area, but with Hasbro having released an army builder pack of all 7 modal nodes it's absurd that there's nowhere to comfortably display them.

[scotthildebrand]

Nice 👍 That is so cool 😎🤙 looking! I converted a Rancor Keeper figure into the bar tender for display 😂

[Deviax]

On the fence about it. Been getting out of modern and TVC recently. But sometimes things like this come up and I want to collect them again

[billpaulk]

I think it is cool but I am not backing. I got rid of all my modern stuff. You were very influential in me deciding to make that move and only focus on Kenner vintage stuff.
