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.

The next two cards from the weekly Topps Star Wars Living Set are now out. Featuring the iconic blue starfield and the impressive artwork of Kris Penix, check out Dewback (#445) and Tatooine Sand Beast (#446). Two new cards will be released each Tuesday and only be available for one week. Click here to view the entire Star Wars Living archive, including individual print runs.

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…
