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

[Qui-Gon Jim]

I did not order a Barge.  I saw one on FB marketplace last night for $1500. I went to jokingly show it to my wife and it had sold.  I wish I would have ponied up the $500 to triple it. 

[Jesse James]

I sold on FB and had no issues beyond price questioning but I think you can shut comments off to a post somehow?  Not sure on that.  I sold two skiffs and two Jabba skiff guards with little issues behind again people openly bitching about price...  l attribute that to people just being ****heads in this hobby.  Social media is littered with “newbies” to the hobby who need spoon fed collecting news because they’re too lazy to look at websites and they seem to think you owe them stuff for cost because they were not here to buy it on sale like the rest of us were.  That would be a NMFP. 

Ask Jayson some time about the social media tools.  I’m seeing him repeatedly having to explain **** to them because they don’t use google or they don’t even read the full post. 

I like aspects of social media, and sales on FB have been ok for me then so far, but it has some real ****heads on it too obviously.

Anyone have a good reason that Jabba's bed moves left and right?  It's on some kind of track like the Jail door...  it moves...  I can't figure out why.  Jabba doesn't need it to move.  It doesn't seem to make sense to me.

[Mister Skeezler]

Probably just so you can make microadjustments to fit whatever configuration of Jabba's losers you want.

[Jesse James]

I was thinking that maybe.  Made no sense to me really.  I thought perhaps it popped out if you slide it and lift but it doesn’t seem to be keyed to do that or anything.

According to the instructions it says, "Slide Jabba's dias back and forth to scan for shady denizens." It's clearly a shady denizens detector.  Duh.

[Jesse James]

Oh man I didn’t even open the directions haha.  Hmmm.  Sliding side to side scans for shady denizens?

Awfully judgmental for a gangster. 😕

Feng shui.

He is dealing with lots of stress, and likes things neat but functional.

Huttin' ain't easy.

I bought one of those recordable sound chips and recorded 80seconds of the swanky Max Rebo pimp music from the Barge scene. It brings a tear to my eye.

Do you have a link or a search string I could use to find such chips?

So Hasbro responded to my message about my Yak and Jabba, they have opened a claim for me but as of yet I don’t know what that entails. Will update when I have more details.

Here's the clip I used for audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldMenApN_Kg

And here's the result: https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCNRXKHkWh/

And here's the sound chip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006NFHLLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Honestly it took about 10 minutes end to end (not including the couple days to get the sound module from Amazon).

Thanks for the links Lando. I may very well steal this idea from you.  I may try to work our lighting as well and put it all on the same switch.

Please share what you do, I'd love to see it!

[Quazar]

That's absolutely brilliant, Lando, but that audio clip you linked to sounds weird to me.  Very tinny and dissonant and seems to lack the "melody" of the barge song.

This version, for instance, sounds better to me.

YMMV!
