Title: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Don on July 06, 2023, 09:16:17 AM
I'm surprised there's no thread about this. The Ghost as the next TVC Haslab has been on the Yakface rumor report for weeks. (There's also a multi-sourced rumor that it'll be $600 bucks so start saving now!)

More recently Hasbro Pulse has shared a couple teaser images about this. I grabbed the Yakface versions from Insta because he includes the translation.

The timing makes sense with the Rebels characters and the Ghost already seen in trailers for the upcoming Ahsoka Disney Plus series. Rumors are saying we should expect an announcement at SDCC later this month.

(And in case you're not sure why those teaser images are exciting.)

I made this for Insta, but shared it on FB too. Chopper is excited about those Hasbro teasers! ;)

And I'm definitely saving these posters to hang in the new docking level dio where I plan to park the Ghost.

Who else is excited!?

Duh. Man I am so out of sorts this summer. I am lucky I remember what day it is. Yep, that will be the time the next HasLab is announced for sure.

PSA: This Haslab is going to be expensive! I hope you're saving for it!

Hera is a little worried about the cost so she started an Only Fans.  ;) ;D

So hoping we get confirmation on this. Sounds like its all but announced. I don't know why Hasbro just doesn't release the info. Should just be another day or two I would expect.
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Tamer on July 23, 2023, 06:07:24 AM
So who all has ordered one?

Looks like it almost already has enough backers.

I keep my fingers crossed that the AHSoKA show will boost the GHOST to 17,000 units pre-ordered.

A week to go to back the GHOST and as of this post it almost reached 12,000 units.


(https://i.imgur.com/Ws0hEBg.jpg)

I can only hope that the GHOST gets actively involved in today's episode. It really needs another push in order to reach 14,000. I cannot afford to back a second one. It costs 580€ plus shipping here in Europe, so the total amount will be 600€ crashing my bank account soon. That's more than my monthly cost to rent my flat!

If you consider to back this project, you can do so here:

Just opened a tab from Monday and since then the project gained 257 units. In numbers that's
$128,500 more for Hasbro to work with!
But at this pace, 17k units are impossible to reach with the time remaining.

I will be honest, I haven't backed it yet. So on the fence. I have no display space available for it. Still know I will probably regret it down the road so I seesaw back and forth. I guess I only have about six more days to deal with it.

I‘m happily watching the Ghost breaking the second tier and almost reaching 15,000 units before the 24 hour countdown!

When I checked, 4 units were ordered in 4 minutes…(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/52080ab1ad3185ffb1002188d2a94a09.jpg)
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Tamer on September 06, 2023, 02:50:21 AM
Sitting at 15,200 as of this posting. Hopefully all the tiers get unlocked.

I only have about 17 hours left to make up my mind.

I‘m just a huge fan of the Vintage Collection and like the design of the Ghost.

I wanted to be part of the crowd who make this happen. I think it’s a great, huge and expensive addition to the collection.
But one can always sell it for what it cost or most likely more.
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Darth More on September 06, 2023, 06:59:43 PM
I am absolutely blown away by this fan support!
I did not expect the Ghost to unlock the 3rd tier goal of 17,000 anymore…the fans taught me better:

Absolutely pumped about this.
Congrats Hasbro! You guys pulled another $10,000,000 ashore!

Probably going to sell the figures off to off set the cost, Rebels was cool but not really something i want in my collection so going to use the Ghost as part of my Mandalorian fleet. i hope they make Bo-Katan's drop ship at some point

Post by: Tamer on September 15, 2023, 08:56:01 AM
Kinda feeling like I would be seriously regretting not getting one, but still don't feel too bad yet. I have got to be more selective with what I buy now as I have way too much stuff and the price seemed horrible (of course it all seems overpriced to me nowadays).
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Darth More on September 22, 2024, 03:45:36 AM
It's shockingly silent around THE GHOST, isn't it? It's almost...ghostly.

Have you received any updates? Is it still shipping this Fall?
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Starchaser on September 22, 2024, 02:27:47 PM
Not heard anything...I remember the Razor Crest was pretty quiet too. We'll see what happens.
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Darth More on September 24, 2024, 01:38:21 AM
Thanks for the heads up, Jeff! Yes, you're right. The Crest was rather stealth, too.
The Ghost's product page is still listed in the section for The Vintage Collection on Pulse USA. However they removed the approximate shipping date, which was Fall 2025. Hopefully it'll be on our door steps before Christmas.

It's not even listed among the "IN PRODUCTION" HasLabs...

My Ghost shipped according to Hasbro, but it flies under the radar. My tracking number for DHL didn't work. It should arrive this week though. It usually takes 1-2 business days since dispatch. It might hit over night.
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Starchaser on December 02, 2024, 03:35:01 PM
That will be an exciting wait! Mine has not shipped yet...but I expect the email any day now. I'm going to have have my kids wrap it when it comes and open it on Christmas - as much as that is going to try my patience.
Title: Re: Haslab 2023: The Ghost
Post by: Darth More on December 08, 2024, 05:44:37 AM
Well, my tracking only says that my unit has arrived in my Region. That must be Germany. No update for a week now. But meanwhile one of my buddies sent me a picture of his GHOST which arrived on Tuesday. He lives in my area. What a beauty!

Housten...we got a problem. My GHOST appeared on December 12 and it hardly fit in my trunk. I can't even carry it alone.
This thing is huuuuge! And I had no idea how big the shipper would actually be.
Right now I don't even know where to put it. It'll be on display in 2026.

I opened my Ghost and will hopefully be able to display it in 2026. It a beautiful design and will look great on any landing platform!
My box came with a big bump on the upper right corner. It's unfortunate that the colored side was hit. But on the other hand it makes it easier for me to open it.

Sorry about the crunch on your box. I always feel bad for people who preserve packaging when mine shows up pristine (I don't keep much in the way of packaging). My Ghost showed up today just before lunch. I will open it later, but I'm pretty excited to have it in hand finally.
