I know this board doesn’t love 3.75” but it’s wild to me that there’s basically no discussion about this thing.  It’s not for me but I always love reading the chatter when the different Haslabs come out.  It’s crickets in here.

I guess no talk is better than 50 pages of arguing though.

Yeah I thought with how much chatter there was around the start of the campaign that this would be a more lively thread.

However I am basically the only poster, with my updates, for a week now.   Combined with the slow climb of the numbers I am starting to wonder how many collectors are actually invested in this Haslab.   That is the big problem with a Haslab (or crowd funding).  If it isn't funded and things go really quiet during the campaign that can be a really bad sign for the possibility of funding.   Right now I am not too worried about funding, but unlocking all the tiers might be a stretch (pun intended 😀 )

I pledged my $500 and now I'm just hoping we hit those stretch goals.  I really wish that Greedo were the last one and not the first since I doubt all 3 will unlock and there's no way they don't release him at some point.  The other two I'm not so sure about.

That Greedo never should have been part of the Haslab.   Yeah, yeah Hasbro I know he has a huge scene in there, but you have never been shy about releasing Greedo at retail.    So why stick him in there, as a tier unlock no less!!!???!!!   Just a baffling choice for a tier unlock.

@canprime yeah, it's like when Jedi Luke was a Rancor goal.  That figure was coming out no matter what.

All this week, I have been DESPERATE to comment on this (and the Marvel Legends threads), but I couldn't log in because of the addition snafu.  I tried every day, hoping it had been fixed (on my work computer too).  Finally, I tried on my phone, and it let me add 10 and 9.

I've wanted to ask you guys above all else about how I should back it, because I have wanted a Cantina my whole life, but I couldn't decide if I needed the regular version or the deluxe, or TWO regulars, as one YouTuber said he was buying.  I don't have a lot of money, but I've made enough selling my X-men figures since "X-men '97" came out to buy two HasLabs, so I could sell off a few more, if I had to, by the start of July.

How important are those extra pieces in the deluxe version to you guys?  What would you suggest?

I think I've decided for myself that I'm going to back the standard release. I'm going to have a hard enough time finding space to display that, let alone the deluxe version. Plus, if you assemble the deluxe version like they've shown on the website, they you pretty much have to put is on a shelf/table where you're looking down into it, and I prefer to have the set open and on a shelf at eye level so you can view the details inside the coves. The standard set come with 3 coves, so I'll have the band in one, Han and Greedo in another, and a few patrons in the third.

@rishoutfield I got the deluxe for two reasons.  First of all, I'd rather pay the extra $100 for something I don't end up wanting than not pay for it and regret it later.  I'm sure I could sell the extra parts if I really wanted to.  Second, I hope to display it in a clear coffee table in the room.  I think it would be cool to get to walk around it and get different views.

I feel like the Fwoosh forums have been a bit slow in general (and not mobile friendly), but I've been checking this thread daily for the updated counts. I tend to do more 3.75 discussion on Banthaskull (which is focused on TVC) and a bit on Instagram as well.

@rishoutfield I’d recommend the deluxe all the way. When spending that much on this, for just $100 more you nearly double the amount of Cantina you get. Gives you plenty more options and a few exclusive items too.

I helped Thor-El in a ML thread with the same problem (logging in on a computer).   I ran into the same problem last week (not being able to do the math equation).   I found a secondary login link on the web page.  If you scroll down the right side where the Youtube and Twitter feeds for The Fwoosh are located there is a small login icon/link near the bottom.  Click on that link and you can do the math equation to login on a computer.

As others have said I would just go with the deluxe version and see how you feel.   Two regular versions would be okay, but I would also feel like I missed out a bit not having the extra parts from the deluxe version.
