Get ready for the ultimate Star Wars collector deep dive and a massive toy hunt!

On this episode of The Smugglers' Galaxy, the crew hits the road for the legendary Ross Con, targeting Ross Dress for Less locations across Atlanta and Charlotte.

The main event: We break down Hasbro's new strategy of reusing HasLab tooling, a practice recently deployed in the G.I. Joe Classified line. We intensely debate the future of Star Wars HasLabs: What previous campaign vehicles (like the Razor Crest or Jabba's Sail Barge) could be retooled for a new product, and what does this mean for the value of your most premium collector items?

We tackle the tough questions from Hasbro veteran Steve Evans' viral poll regarding the alchemy of price vs. detail. Should collectors expect a higher price point for hyper-realistic 6-inch Black Series figures, or is sacrificing detail for current pricing the new norm?

Finally, we analyze the latest, candid statements from George Lucas on the current direction of Disney's Star Wars. We discuss his apparent distance from the franchise and what his comments reveal about the sequel era. Don't miss this crucial debate on collecting, pricing, and the fate of the galaxy far, far away!
