Mine arrived fine.  The pic Jayson posted appears like the sorter caught it and basically spun tire (the little rubber rollers in this case) on the cardboard and bent it, but I would think that’d be a rarity.  The book is pretty flexible too so I’d guess the package takes most of the bending and abuse and the book could still be fine.

I find the new ways to hate Hasbro humerous.

I was expecting it'd be smaller and stapled at the spine, so I'm pleasantly surprised with the dimension and binding type.

Mine was left on the porch and arrived in fine shape. Too bad others received bent booklets. The envelope is made from backer board stock; and with the spine perpendicular to the length of the envelope, it's very stiff and obviously shouldn't be bent. The blame is on the carrier.

I'm definitely thankful about the size and dimensions of my mailbox, because mine arrived in good shape.  But it stinks that some of the booklets wound up getting bent.

Interesting side note?  The secondary market seems to be going nuts about all things Jabba and his goons.  I had some extra POTF2 Skiff Guards cinema scenes that I bought on clearance back in the day.  Why I thought I really needed 5 of them is beyond me.  But I sold through some of those really quick, along with my extra POTF2 Skiff.  I wonder how crazy people are going about Nysad and Vizam, who both have those sail barge cannon accessories?

Currently on eBay the cheapest it looks like you can get a Behind the Workbench booklet is $30 if no one else bids.

For the life of me I can't figure out what you would want with one for that much money. To just have that and no barge seems odd. To each their own I guess

Seriously?  I’ll probably sell mine then.  I don’t really need it and anything that lowers the cost of the barge seems like a good idea to me...

I didn't word that perfectly. You can BIN for 60. There's a current auction at $15 but also one almost at 30 so in theory the others should get there too

Wow, I should sell mine too.  Doubt I will ever look at it again.

I sold mine a few days ago... the cost of my barge is now $506 minus whatever I can get for the POTF Yak Face.

Hmmm, since I bought two barges, I have two copies of this book - I wonder if I could get good money for the one that I haven't opened yet...

Guessing I'm probably not the only one who used PayPal Credit to pay for this, taking advantage of their interest free six-month payoff window. Tonight at midnight (PST) is the deadline, for me anyway, so I was happy to just make my final installment and officially pay this sucker off.  :)

Looking over the latest batch of pictures from Hasbro... I cannot wait to get this thing.

Looks like they put a lot of effort into the packaging to ensure that the POTF-carded Yakface will have a shot at arriving in minty condition.

Indeed, but I kind of expected that since that Yak Face was being packed within a box already, that the barge packaging would have to be all but thrashed to damage the Yak Face. None-the-less, appreciate the care.

So...just about a month until these things ship out?

I now have a Yakface for my palace as well as a Yakface for my barge, which means I can keep the pack-in Yakface on the card...something I very, very rarely do.

Anyone starting to fill holes in their collection to fill up the barge, or are you planning on moving all your palace figures into the barge? I've been doubling up where necessary, but I still need to get a double of the Max Rebo band Doesn't seem like the eBay prices are all that bad. But I wish Hasbro would redo the band. They could use it.

For any of you looking to populate a palace setup and the barge, I created this spreadsheet of who was where:

Anyone else as skeptical as me that at least some people won't be seeing their barge until second half of year?
