The latest Haslab has been announced (after a delay & a leak)
It’s the Cantina.
Two versions, base & deluxe, with a bunch of figures.
Looks amazing so I am in the process of thinking about it.

I picked up the Lego cantina set, which satisfies my needs in that direction.

I didn’t notice this when I ordered it, but this is primarily JB’s corner box head art, yes? (With the inclusion of some later characters, like Venom, Carnage, and I think a Liefeld Deadpool.) Cool to see Alpha Flight included. 

By the way, I really recommend RSVLTS shirts. Expensive, but they are super comfortable and lightweight. The designs can vary from subtle to super loud, and they have a ton of licenses now.

Have I mentioned how decidedly unthrilled I am when my drawings are turned to white line (unless specifically designed for the effect)? Something about being white seems to fatten the line, and subtle details are lost.

A particularly grotesque example was in one of the GENERATIONS stories when a pair of ghosts were flipped like this, and their faces became unreadable blobs. This being done without asking me, of course!

Oh, well! I wonder if I’ll get a nickel for that shirt!

If that was any color other than black, I’d buy that shirt for sure?

I caved & backed the deluxe version of the Haslab Cantina.
I’ve no idea where I will put it, but I have a year to resolve this issue.
It ended up getting just over 14,000 backers, so it got two of three stretch
goals (extra figures) - better than I thought it would get to.

Originally Lego designed the ship to be a a few inches smaller than that, until someone said...
