  • #255: Star Wars Haslab LAAT/i & Andor Emmys - Smugglers Galaxy Podcast
    2025/08/05

    Join us on the Smugglers Galaxy podcast as we look at the (seemingly) unexpected lack of enthusiasm for Hasbro's latest Star Wars Haslab project: the LAAT/i Republic Gunship. Why is this iconic prequel-era vehicle experiencing the slowest start of any Star Wars Haslab to date? We break down the community's feedback, including insights from a special guest, to uncover the reasons behind the funding struggle.


    But the Force is strong with other Star Wars content! We also celebrate the incredible success of the Disney+ series Andor, reviewing the show's numerous Emmy nominations and discussing why it's a critical darling. Also, tickets for Rogue Fun II: Fun and Villainy are on sale, and the demand is hot! Plus, we'll share details on a recent toy show find, and more from the world of Star Wars collecting!

  • #254: HasLab's LAAT/i Gunship: Dream Project or Rehash? Plus, Jazwares' Future & Collector Burnout!
    2025/07/29

    Join us as Glen and Jason discuss the latest HasLab offering: the Star Wars The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship from Attack of the Clones. Is this highly anticipated vehicle, previously released multiple times, truly a "dream project" as HasLab promises, or a missed opportunity? We'll debate if a few extra Jedi figures are enough to justify backing this crowdfunding campaign in an increasingly crowded market.


    We'll also tackle the curious case of Jazwares Star Wars vehicles. Despite new reveals at San Diego Comic-Con, their retail footprint at Walmart and Target seems to be shrinking. Is an online-only future inevitable for this popular line?


    Finally, get ready for personal insights! Jason shares highlights from his trip to Disney, Glen gives us the lowdown on a recent toy show, and they both reveal our latest toy pickups. Tune in for essential toy collecting discussions, news, and more!
