73. Are Carded ESB Figures The Next Hottest Collectibles? Exploring The Hake’s Auction! (Part 3) Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

A $4,000 carded Bespin Luke? If you’re a collector, you know how desirable the collectibles from the first Star Wars film have become over the past two years. But The Empire Strikes Back is the rare sequel that is just as beloved and just as impactful as the first film, if not more so. And while ESB carded figures have taken a back seat to the 12-back and 20-back Star Wars figures, interest is rising steadily in the figures offered during the era of Empire. Luke Bespin, Leia Bespin, Lando Calrissian, Yoda, Han Hoth, IG-88, Snowtrooper - these are some of the iconic characters introduced in the Kenner line in 1980. And they are becoming some of the most sought after figures. The latest Hake’s auction has compiled a collection of some of the most beautiful examples of these Empire Strikes Back figures. We’ve seen the increases in values for the 12-back figures of 1978. Are the 1980s ESB figures next? Join host David Quinn and collector/author Matt George for a conversation about these items and more, as they explore the latest Hake’s catalog. In part three of this series, David and Matt share the stories behind the pieces, as well as some of the latest market trends and items to target!

Has "The Book of Boba Fett" series sparked or diminished interest in Boba Fett memorabilia? Are 20 backs and 12” figures the next items to soar in value?

70. The History of Hasbro’s HasLab: The Mandalorian’s Razor Crest Rises! Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

After Jabba’s Sail Barge, whatever came next had to be equally impressive for Star Wars fans. In 2020, Hasbro announced its second HasLab Star Wars campaign. The Razor Crest, Din Djarin’s ship from the hit series The Mandalorian, would be the next massive vehicle produced by the company. But it had to reach 6,000 preorders in 45 days. What happened next was pretty amazing. Would HasLab be successful for a second time? And would fans see the Crest as a worthy offering? Join host David Quinn for a look at the next chapter in “The History of Hasbro’s HasLab.” Learn how the teams at Lucasfilm and ILM created the Razor Crest, why Hasbro chose it for the second campaign, and what Chris Reiff and the designers at Hasbro put into making the ship faithful to its onscreen counterpart.

Show notes

In 2018, fans successfully funded the first HasLab Star Wars toy campaign, purchasing more than 8,800 $500 Sail Barges from The Vintage Collection line.

68. The History Of Hasbro’s HasLab: Jabba’s Crowdfunded Sail Barge Soars! Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

In 2018, Hasbro announced a new platform that would expand the galaxy of Star Wars toys like never before. Through HasLab, figures, vehicles and playsets that were considered too costly to produce or too large to sell at retail became possibilities through Hasbro’s crowdfunded-based campaigns. HasLab would present its offering, and Star Wars fans would ultimately decide if it would be produced. The massive Khetanna, Jabba’s Sail Barge from Return of the Jedi, was the first-ever HasLab project. It would be the largest Star Wars toy made by Hasbro for the 3.75” line, and the most expensive one for consumers as well. Would HasLab be successful? And would fans choose to “Back the Barge?” Join host David Quinn for a look at the first chapter of the in-depth series, The History of HasLab. Explore the story of how the beloved Vintage Collection was revived, why Hasbro developed the Khetanna campaign, and what it took to make the barge a toy for fans and collectors. And take a tour through Jabba’s Sail Barge, as you shrink down to the size of an action figure. It’s unlike anything you’ve experienced with Star Wars toys! (*Try it in headphones!)
