Welp, I got cold feet and never ultimately backed it. I couldn't justify the cost, nor the size, and will be missing out. Oh well. I'm extremely happy for those of you who are getting one after all of these years.

I'm very interested to see what happens when Hasbro starts charging people. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks it's fishy that there was such a surge of backers within the last 4-5 days

I hate eBay scalpers as much as anyone, but not sure it applies here. They didn't affect anyone's ability to get one of these.

I'm thinking that Hasbro did along the lines that Jayson suggested.  They might have given etailers the first bite and didn't publish those numbers in the 5,000. 

Otherwise, it seems like @3,000 people waited until the last week or so to go in on the project.

When this gets made, and I finally have it, I plan on installing a sound box somewhere that plays this.

This post has me inspired to do something similar.  So I checked my vintage ROTJ soundtrack CD copy that I've had since the 80's to see if that tune was on the soundtrack.  It's always been a point of pride to have that copy since it's got "Lapti Nek" on it and not "Jedi Rocks".  SURELY this version of the soundtrack has to have the sail barge music, but NOOOOO!  I was shocked to learn that this piece of music that plays both in Jabba's throne room and on the sail barge has never been released on any soundtrack.

Yeah, I'd definitely take that link, Lando!!   ;D

Closer to 5,000... IIRC about 4,800 happened in the last week.

Youtube has a version of the Jabba's throne room and sail barge music here.

As in your card was charged or as in delays beginning already?

I'm pretty sure they mean the notifications that the workbench book will be shipping April 25th and that's when your method of payment will be charged.

The barge ship date is still Feb 28, 2019 - so no delays on the barge, only a couple week delay for the book.

The email notifications about our orders GMN.  You should get one too like Pete mentioned about the booklet thing and stuff. 

It'll be a long ass year.

I got the email too. Not too concerned about the delay on the book, as I wasn't all that interested in the first place. I'm sure it'll be a nice piece to flip through, but it's obviously not what got us to drop $500.

I just see it as a bad start. October 2018 email "due to unexpected amount of orders the barge will ship in June 2019"
