After a massive push in the closing hours, the latest The Vintage Collection HasLab featuring The Ghost closed with 21,526 Backers. After reaching the threshold for the final tier at 17,000, the final 8 hours tacked on another 4,500+ backers. Congrats to all who secured this piece for your collection!

The Black Series Carbonized continues with this Amazon exclusive set from Ahsoka featuring Ahsoka Tano and HK-87 Assassin Droid. This set goes up for pre-order tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern for $59.99. 

Backers of The Ghost can rest easy now that the third The Vintage Collection HasLab is fully funded, unlocking all tiers with just over 8 hours remaining. Now it remains to be seen as to how Hasbro plans to offer the final two Ghost crew members on the mural cards. 

There are still a few more hours to back if you are on the fence…

UPDATE: and the final number of backers is 21,526! Not as much as for the Razor Crest, which had about 6,600 more backers, making the Ghost the 2nd most successful Star Wars HasLab. However, the Ghost is more expensive so all in all the Ghost brought in almost $1 million more in total money than the Razor Crest.

Tier 2 UNLOCKED! With 1 day and 8 hours left (as of this posting) the HasLab The Ghost sits at 14,189 (and counting) and has unlocked the second tier (Kanan Jarrus). Zeb sits waiting at 17,000…

It’s that time of the year again when companies release their numbers for the 2nd quarter of the calendar year. Hasbro released their numbers a few days ago last week. Disney released their numbers just now. And the 2nd quarter of 2023 wasn’t exactly a great one for either of these two companies. Click through for the details!
