Until next time! I mean, don't forget that despite laying off thousands of staff, Hasbro'll still need to keep those higher revenue streams coming!

 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.

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).

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.

Interesting new approach. I'd like to know the split at the end. I can't see anyone who is prepared to throw £400 at this not going all the way for £500.

[The Doctor]

I think this will fund easily. I just think it is really sad we have now reached the era of playsets costing £500. Utter madness.

[Shockprowl]

Five hundred pounds. Half a thousand pounds.

Burns, have you looked closely at the upright cylinders in the bar?

Five hundred pounds. FIVE HUNDRED FUCKING POUNDS. For a playset with no actual action features? Bloody hell. That's the same cost as the Ghost, and whilst that was also lacking in play features as such, it was at least a big spaceship, with a smaller spaceship. That's just ridiculous.

On the plus side, though, we now have another Phil countdown!

Or a floor.

It rather sums up what is currently wrong with the toy market.

Dear Hasbro.

Fuck the fuck right off with that fucking shite.

The rest of the world.

I love it, insanely detailed, room for loads of figures, includes two figures we thought would never be made and a sensible option on the main product.

I would have been all over this if I was still by Star Wars toys as I always wanted a Cantina as a kid but it had all but gone by the time I started buying SW toys in 1980

[The Doctor]

Which forms part of my objection: no child is going to get a £500 Cantina playset. It's completely unnafordable for anyone other than the rich, as a payment plan option is not offered.

But this obviously isn't being made as a toy for kids.

There's a 4 inch line for kids at the moment and when I've seen it it hasn't been selling.

[The Doctor]

And why not? Surely Star Wars toys SHOULD be for kids? Justifying £500 for this kind of nonsense is how companies keep getting away it. It's utter madness and will kill their lines. I can't support it at all.

Never seen it anywhere. Poor distribution and zero maketing. Also no vehicles or playsets for the figures have been made.

SW has been run into the ground. It takes talent to tank what should be an evergreen four-quadrant line that is easily available

Toy companies who ignore the child market will find themselves out of business in the end. The adults eventually grow out of it/die. If you haven't cultivated the younger market then you no longer have a viable toy business.

It's called Epic Heroes

and there's at least one vehicle, a missile firing Mandalorian N1

Wow. One vehicle and a line impossible to find. I have looked for it.

Like Ralph, he wants a floor

[Benn]

The lack of a floor boggles my mind with these playsets.
