This is a random question, but does anyone know what the cost/duty fees were for Jabba's Sail Barge? P&TY

For getting one sent overseas?  No clue...  not cheap from what I’ve heard though.  People overseas have passed on US sales because the shipping I guess made it so prohibitive (on top of what the seller wanted I assumed).

I've had mine up on eBay for months now but I don't think I'm ever going to get rid of the %$^&*( thing. I have it listed for local pick-up only though; no shipping, so I'm sure that's a big drawback. No way I am shipping that thing though.

Can't say I'm shocked someone in picking up distance isn't ready to buy one. What makes it a &#$\%× thing?

Yeah, specifically for Canada. A buddy of mine was trying to gauge how much the upcoming Haslab Unicron is going to cost to ship up north. I’ll either be buried with my Barge or my kids can have it. LOL

Yeah I think the local pickup is killing it.  They sell regularly still for the $1000 range... 

I wouldn’t wanna sell one on eBay either though.

I’m not shocked either, but it has still grown tiresome. I’m ready to be rid of it already. i figured at some point someone within a couple hundred miles would take a run at it. 13 watchers though so we’ll see.

So my wife recently find out that her job (which was temporarily at home due to COVID stuff), is now going to be permanently at home. As such, we are in the process of redoing our office to make it a nicer workspace for her. That means removing most of my collection and setting up stuff to display in our basement.

All that to say…. and news flash here I know….this barge is a behemoth to display. I’ve been going for sort of a “less clutter” approach to display lately, so I’m in the process of deciding what stays out. This thing can really only fit in a handful of places. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy I have it and think it is a great piece, but it really is difficult for someone like me (with a modest sized home) to display.

I think the overall lack of room has encouraged me to finally unload my prequel era ships. Things like that I had always held onto because “someday I’ll have room to display all of this”. But as I’ve gotten older really I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t know if I want that much stuff out, and I’d never have the room if I did. Again, love the barge and everything, but you really do have to have a space for it.

For people who have been in this hobby as long as most of us have, space is a struggle we all have to deal with.

I'm curious Brian, do you consider the Razor Crest an OT vehicle since the Mandalorian takes place so close to the OT?
This is the way.

While I've got a lot of space devoted to my collection, its still finite, and I can sympathize with your pain.  When I've felt the crunch at different points over the years I've pruned away different parts of my collection.  For the most part I've been okay to let stuff go, but its still tough to say goodbye to stuff you sometimes worked really hard to track down.

I love the Sail Barge, so that will be sticking around long after other stuff gets the boot.  Clone Wars stuff isn't at the top of my list to keep either (there is so much of it, but some is really creative), but first I'll probably let go of Legos before I get rid of any more of my 3.75" stuff.

Sorry to hear about the collection move, but it's always an opportunity to try something new with you display. You might want to try mounting the barge to the wall as an option. I basically just have it sitting on a pair of metal brackets that I got on Etsy. If you can hit a stud, that'd be best, but if not you can use toggle bolts as well. Nice and sturdy, and looks good!

I'm in the process of getting ready to move and was wondering if anyone here had disassembled this beast to pack it back in the box for moving.  I'm at the point of taking down the sails and I certainly don't want to force this thing and break it.  Not sure if the sail frame completely comes apart from how it was assembled or not.  I managed to disassemble and rebox the Razor Crest without any issues.  Just wondering if anyone had done this with the Barge to see if it is possible to rebox it entirely or if I should just pack the sail frame in a separate box.

Eeek, let me know if you figure it out.  I moved two years ago but was lucky that it was only a mile away.  So it just went in the back seat of the car.

How far is your move Ed?  If it's relatively close, you might just want to move it yourself.  If you're moving 2.3 the way across the country like I did last year, you might want to look at some of the videos I made about moving a collection on my YouTube channel.

Reach out if you have any questions you think I could help with.
This is the way.
