2018 HasLab - TVC Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna)

[Quazar]

But I don't mean to be negative about what is an utterly terrific and brilliantly-executed idea!

[Mister Skeezler]

Yeah, I think the problem is that there's no good recording of the Sail Barge music, like the recording of the palace music you posted. I definitely have this one bookmarked to use in my palace diorama though. Once I mount the barge on my wall, it'll be my next project.

[Mister Skeezler]

This version may be better, but I'm not the most sensitive ear in the world. Thoughts?

Oh no problem! I'd obviously want to use the best recording I can, and they take a few minutes to rerecord.

Oh, you know, I got my signals crossed.  Didn't realize my link was actually the palace music, not the barge music.  to me, they sound like just remixed versions of the same song, but the barge version is more, I dunno, "industrial"?  With the horns/melody much more muted compared to the electronic sounds.  I guess I just prefer the palace version. 

[Mister Skeezler]

Yeah, the palace songs are pretty excellent.

Well, the original palace songs.

^ nice

Threw this in the "Vintage Collection Rumors" thread, but it probably belongs more here. This is a totally nerdy spreadsheet I threw together that has everyone in the palace, on the barge, or on one of the skiffs. Some characters move from scene to scene, so you'll see checkmarks where they show up. I created this as sort of shopping list for myself, but feel free to download the modify as needed.

Anybody else having challenges getting their Vizam rail mounted gun to stay attached well?  The plastic on mine is too rubbery to stay attached for long.

Are you putting it in the right place? There's a little notch that it specifically needs to clip onto. Run your finger along the underside of the railing towards the middle of the barge and you'll feel it. Not sure if there's more than on area, but that's where I have mine

Yes.  The problem is the "c-clamp" on the gun mount is too wide and the notch is too narrow for my gun to stay attached.  I'm going to see if maybe a quick dip in some boiling water might allow me to form it a little tighter.

[Mister Skeezler]

I see what you're saying. Yeah, hot water might help. You could also use a staple to create kind of "c" clamp to provide enough pressure to hold it in place. The staple would be small enough to not really be visible.

Got an update from Hasbro today on my message to them about my bad Jabba and Yak Face. They are working on procuring  replacement parts and packaging. If/when they do so, they will send me replacements. But there is no timetable and ymmv

I got a similar message today on my request for a replacement sail (my barge came with a janky sail).  They'll send out a replacement sail once they have the replacement parts available.

Fingers crossed it actually happens as it's pretty disappointing to spend $500+ on a toy that arrives with messed up parts.
