The eye-droid pole is removable, but it doesn't look like you can pivot the lid above it on the wall down to cover the hole.

Too small I'm sure, but it would have been a neat feature.

 

[Bosheks_Bar]

I love it… but $60 seems steep for what you get.

Yeah, mildly annoyed by this - I wish Hasbro could’ve found a better solution.

I do like this set, though I think the giant arch is a bit weird, and I really would’ve appreciated a more nondescript wall to put some space between the door walls and the alcove walls. This would help with multiple sets looking repetitive. But these very specific designs make it more difficult to disguise the repetition.

Pre-orders from the main TVC thread:

Amazon | Entertainment Earth | BBTS | Pulse

 

[HandoSolo]

I think Obi's crib would have been more exciting than this

Easy pass

 

[Nicklab]

It looks fantastic! And it's a great companion release to go along with the exterior of the Cantina.

I have two very minor critiques:
1 - The Jawa is shown carded sitting criss-cross on the ground. This figure is completely incapable of that pose. Articulation in the legs would be nice.
2 - The absence of a moisture vaporator. Sure, it's the streets of Mos Eisley. But those things are scattered all over the place. And it's such a ubiquitous world building item if we're going to discuss Tatooine.

 

[JWFortuna]

This was an absolute first minute pre-order for me. Two, in fact. I’m sure they’ll be plentiful and on clearance. I’ve been waiting for this for nearly 40 years. It’s funny that earlier today I even posted a pic on IG of one of the ways I’ve been “faking it” all this time. I’m excited for the cantina, but much more excited for these. Endless possibilities.

 

[Nighthawk]

I didn't get the Cantina, so I'll probably just pass on this. It looks nice though.

 

[MARK2D2]

Really like how they did the Eye Droid thing. This set is just simply so much fun. All those functioning crates! A retooled Jawa! And as I said in the other thread it nicely echoes the classic Cantina Adventure Set from Sears and Kenner.

Sold! Thank you, Amazon, for making things so easy.

 

[legacyknight]

I like this set a lot. It was a highlight of the presentation.

I would’ve liked them to include a sandy base kind of like the Armorer’s Forge, but I get that hurts with the customizable aspect.

A moisture vaporator would’ve been nice to get, too. It’ll be kind of odd to not get that packed as an accessory in any set for next year since they’re pretty common in the Tatooine scenes in ANH.

Still, looks like a fun to set for repeat purchases and I’m glad they opted for the Jawa. They make for good multiple purchases.

 

[R1G4R3PO]

Did hasbro say if this is connectable to the cantina?

 

[SGT_A]

Color me SOLD! I am loving these playsets for sure.

 

[EmperorPalps]

Great little set. Will definitely pick one up. Kinda think they missed an opportunity to do a new R4-E1 using the BAD mold, however. I think we all have plenty of jawas at this point, but the only R4-E1 that exists was an exclusive that used a now very outdated sculpt.

 

[Booster Terrik]

Did hasbro say if this is connectable to the cantina?

Not that I heard.

 

[R1G4R3PO]

I wasn't sure, had to watch/skim thru w/o audio on my break. Overall, not a bad tvc showing. Biggest let down, sort of, is the mia, "deluxe" that amazon let preorder open for a little while the other day...dang, how I missed that, I don't know..

 

[MysterioMaximus]

Preordered two, but may end up with even more. This one is, as the kids say, fire. Outside of the throne room and cantina, best diorama set they've done yet.

 

[bac]

I like the Throne Room so much that I did a major shelf reorg a while back so I could cram in two of them: one for ROTJ, one for TBOBF.

Figures look so much better in an environment imho. This set now begs for a Landspeeder, Garindan, Sand Troopers, etc.

 

[Lance_Quazar]

Uh, generator boxes aren't actually boxes. They're batteries. You don't open them up and store your lunch inside them.

I'll buy two for starters and maybe a third once the price comes down. Friggin' great set!! Could be my favorite of the new playset line. Wow!

 

[GNT]

Ordered a couple myself, can’t pass up such a nice display piece.

 

[jodo]

Uh, generator boxes aren't actually boxes. They're batteries. You don't open them up and store your lunch inside them.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too.

Just more storage space for the cantina glasses…

 

[Lance_Quazar]

If the three "dots" on the edges of the streets pieces lined up with the three holes on the cantina exterior, shown here......then the street scenes would be facing the wrong way.

 

[Lance_Quazar]

Just more storage space for the cantina glasses…

Which we will desperately need!

 

[uglygoat]

In for one pre-order to compliment the Base Level Cantina I backed. It’s a nice looking piece, and if it goes on sale, I’ll get another. Not worried about the Jawas legs, can hide them all crunk’d outside the club

 

[The_Zayne]

Yep I'll definitely get one at full price and probably 2 more on a good sale

 

[tanksmasher]

I really dig this set and the drunken meth Jawa is cute but had they included Arleil it would've been perfect. I'll get one but at $60 I definitely won't be collecting these like the Tantive hallway.

 

[R1G4R3PO]

^ that would been so awesome, but this is hasbro

 

[TogrutaKing]

Too expensive for what it is. If it goes on sale like the Nevarro Cantina did, I might bite.

 

[Rushie]

Oh, so that is why the Cantina has no exterior :/

This should have been a tier instead of Greedo

 

[DJ121]

AS much as I've been trying hard to cut back, this one went on preorder.

 

[MosEisleyDroid]

I am thrilled with this set. This is exactly the kind of thing that I want Hasbro to make.

It doesn't look like the door is cardboard, which would drive me insane.

 

[MosEisleyDroid]

The arches aren't as exciting to me as when you display an arch it often just reveals the rest of the room the display is in, or the back of the shelf.

I might put the arch in Jabba's Palace, where I have some indoor corridors off of the throne room.

 

[tanksmasher]

So what hints are we seeing in the poster they're creating? Dewback? Landspeeder? Sandcrawler? Moisture evaporator? A new Biggs or Garindan?

 

[Lance_Quazar]

Oh, so that is why the Cantina has no exterior :/

This should have been a tier instead of Greedo

The cantina has a huge exterior.

 

[ImperialBucket]

Are we sure this Jawa can’t sit? If so… what in the world Hasbro

 

[bac]

I wonder if that's a temp box shot and the final product will have more characters.

Are we sure this Jawa can’t sit? If so… what in the world Hasbro

It looks like Offworld Jawa reuse so swivel hips only, no Indian-style sitting.

New jawa hips/legs is an upgrade I REALLY hope Hasbro gets around to. Feels like a missed opportunity to spread that cost across multiple releases.

 

[MosEisleyDroid]

It is odd they picked the sitting Jawa for the carded figure, but I think the only way to really make those Jawas look movie accurate would be as sculpted statues with no articulation.

The lack of sitting Jawas is my only complaint about this set. I really thought they'd show them off as accessories.

 

[Simdog]

If they ever do a return to Hoth theme, maybe will get some cool interior walls from the echo base made.
