The Sail Barge Sailing Toward Full-Funding

This past weekend, Hasbro’s HasLab campaign to bring Jabba’s Sail Barge to collectors surpassed the half-way mark to being fully funded. The 4-foot crowdfund vehicle set to be a part of The Vintage Collection reached the 50% point just prior to the campaign itself being half way over. Unfortunately, one of the problems with campaigns that run longer than 30 days is the slow down which occurs toward the middle of the process. There are many collectors, websites, podcasters, and YouTubers who mistake this slowdown as a lack of interest. This slowdown is very common at this stage of a campaign and here is why. According to crowdfunding site Indiegogo, “we found when analyzing these 100,000 campaigns (not just ones that met their goals) is [...]

A Tour of Haslab’s Sail Barge

We are fortunate enough to provide you with a behind-the-scenes tour, courtesy of Hasbro, of Jabba's Sail Barge - The Khetanna!
