And also the concern that this is such an odd choice that it might fail to meet its goal and therefore kill the Haslab concept completely.

I wasn't one of the people expecting Star Wars again, but I certainly wasn't expecting an oddball choice like this. So now we'll have to wait and see how this pans out, and then wait another 12-18 months to see if a 3rd Haslab item is offered.
There's nothing to that concern other than those fans perpetuating their own paranoia.

Haslab only exists so that Hasbro can find out if there is real money down interest in these big expensive items before they invest resources into making them. These are already considered risky projects for retail, so they are certainly aware that not every item is going to reach its goal. But all that means is that if it fails then they won't make this particular item (although knowing the prop replica crowd and this being only $300 Cookie will likely make his goal), and not that a single failure means they will never try again with something else in the future.

Really it's just a case of irrational fear that some collectors get when they're not specifically catered to: That they could somehow be deprived of something special for their collections, despite the fact they don't actually know what that item is, or even if Hasbro has any more plans on the backburner for another sail barge type project for HasLab in the first place.
