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

[JediJman]

What package are these Jabba's from?  I think I might have him, but not yet opened...

[Jeff]

The melting Jabba figure (or more accurately "the Jabba that melts/fuses together with a particular type of hard plastic when in contact with it") is the one from the  2010 Walmart exclusive throne room set.

Here are pictures of my Jabba and the damage it wrought. I don't think heat had anything to do with it, to this day the Jabba is quite sticky and it has been separated from the rest of the collection. No clue what to do with it now, such a shame...

Yikes. Worse case of necrotizing plastiitis I've seen. I'll have to quarantine Typhoid Mary.

[Mister Skeezler]

I just checked mine...it's fine, but it's been laying on a scrap of leather (looks like a blanket) on top of the dais. I think keeping it away from contact with other plastics is key.

[CorranHorn]

Hah I had similar feelings.  I’ve debated spraying mine down in adhesion prompter to act as a kind of sealant for it since mine was ok.  I should probably check him again, actually. 

I have been wondering if there is something that could be put on this like a sealant. But I haven’t dared try anything yet

Sick. When should we start getting shipping confirmation?

Sick. When should we start getting shipping confirmation?

I got a HasLab update (#6) emailed to me at 11:54 AM CST today.  They stated that all product should be shipped to all customers by March 4th. 

Didn't everyone else get this email?

For some reason this update isn't on the Web site.

I was about #500 on the Kickstarter list, so I'm not sure if they're handling this in waves, but the email stated "all customers".

[JediJman]

I have not received a notice yet.  You'd think they would send the email to everyone at once - it's not like mailing snail mail.

Perhaps due to relativistic effects, your electrons are  moving slower?

Or perhaps they send them out in batches of when people put in their order.  Anovos did a similar thing when it came to the pre-ordered Stormtrooper kits.

[Dave]

The email was actually one giant image.

Hopefully everyone can see this.

1. For some reason, not everyone gets the HasLab Insider emails.  I've gotten all 6, but some folks I know haven't gotten any of them.  No one is quite sure why...

2. It usually takes them a day or two to get the HasLab site updated with the newest email info.

[JediJman]

Thanks for sharing Dave.  I searched my gmail and the last communication I had from Haslab was 363 days ago...

I also got all of them.

[CorranHorn]

I got all the previous emails but as of 7:10pm CT I haven’t received the latest update. Very strange, hope it doesn’t mean anything
