Yak Face Joins Jabba’s Sail Barge

This morning Entertainment Weekly gave us a first look at of a fully painted Jabba's Sail Barge which is currently being crowd-funded by Hasbro's new Hasbrolab.com.  The impressive paint application truly make all the details and accessories come to life on this potential Vintage Collection piece. The most exciting news of the day is the announcement of a bonus figure. A Power of the Force carded Yak Face will be given to barge backers. This figure on this particular cardback will be exclusive to the HasLab barge. A regular Vintage Collection version on a Return of the Jedi card will still be released in the vintage line later next year.

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! This 4-foot long vehicle which is slated to be a part of The Vintage Collection is currently being offered through a crowd-funding initiative at Hasbrolab.com. This ship is the largest Hasbro has produced since 1985 when they released the GI Joe's U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier. Now as it is a crowd-funded campaign it does need 5,000 backers to become a reality. This vehicle has been requested by fans for years and now is our chance to add it to our collections and it looks to be beyond worth every dollar: With intricate detailing, premium materials, superior functionality and grandiose size, it is poised to be one of [...]
