You'll never find a more wretched hive of Rebel Scum and villainy. Revealed almost 3 weeks ago, the VS Mos Eisley Cantina is a dream playset for many, and has been offered in various different forms throughout the decades. The modular set is the most ambitious cantina set we've ever seen, so how is that translating to the required number of 8,000 backers?
As of this writing, the backer count sits a little above the 6,400 mark with around a week left to go. I know the folks at Hasbro like it when a HasLab project is backed within the first couple of days, but this one is taking a little while. As we've seen, these projects invariably get a big spike in backers in the last 24-48 hours, so I think this one is in good shape to meet the 8,000 backer goal. So the question really becomes, how many tiers will be unlocked?
Tier #1 THRESHOLD: 11,000 BACKERS GREEDO Exclusive Star Wars: A New Hope VC Carded Figure Includes: blaster, cup
A Rodian bounty hunter, Greedo is overzealous with a blaster -- and a pretty poor shot. This figure features a new sculpt for placement in your cantina scene.
Tier #2 THRESHOLD: 14,000 BACKERS NABRUN LEIDS Exclusive Star Wars: A New Hope VC Carded Figure Includes: 2 blasters, cup, interchangeable hose
Nabrun Leids, a pilot and smuggler, joins TVC for the first time! He features an all-new sculpt with, of course, his four arms. In addition to a cup, this figure comes with two special interchangeable mask hoses (with one shaped in an S-curve so he can enjoy his beverage).
Tier #3 THRESHOLD: 17,000 BACKERS ARLEIL SCHOUS Exclusive Star Wars: A New Hope VC Carded Figure Includes: blaster, cup
Another first for The Vintage Collection -- and for collectors! This Defel bar patron can be spotted in the background of Star Wars: A New Hope -- though fans will remember an additional shot of his from the original cut that was removed from the special edition.
Check out this video from Hasbro showing the cantina populated with lots of seedy characters and how you can display it with limited shelf space.
