Star Wars Cantina Sets Wave 2
SAGA, 2002
In 2002, Hasbro launched a series of Cantina sets as part of the Saga line, which were available exclusively at Walmart stores.
The initial wave of figure sets featured Greedo, Momaw Nadon, and Ponda Baba.
Each set came with a cantina bar section to recreate the iconic cantina scene from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Hasbro intended to release a second wave to complete the collection.
However, Walmart opted not to participate, leading to the official cancellation of the series.
A very limited quantity of second wave figures was produced and eventually made available through select Japanese retailers.
This second wave included Wuher, Kitik Keed'kak, and Dr. Evazan. As the figures had already been created, Hasbro launched a multipack of these figures as a component of the Original Trilogy collection in 2004. The multipack was made available solely through K-Mart stores.
Fun Fact:
The card backs contained cut-outs to create a larger backdrop.
