I guess they don't need my money now...sigh.

That's OK, you can use that money to buy all the animated Clone Wars clone troopers I'll be selling in the next few months to help pay for my barge...  :P

UGH - time to totally steer clear of JTA - not only is a certain someone going to feel like they can take 100% credit for making it happen, the sycophants are all going to be congratulating him for making it happen.  ::)

Lmao I got a text saying pretty much exactly this from a buddy.  Basically yeah, forget all the Entertainment Weekly stuff and national coverage...  I’m honestly surprised it was as slow to back as it was.  I watch Kickstarter campaigns and they fly by fast.  This one was close.  I thought the collecting community was a little more robust and that it would’ve backed faster.

I wonder now if people will back it more willingly and it’ll have a steady stream knowing it’s a done deal, or if there will be a drop off to the final day.

Oh, Paul.

I guess he has to be responsible, because it was all our fault a week ago for it failing. Or something. I never know with that kid. He's really all over the shop. On everything. Ever.

It was all Jesse's mojo of finally committing that opened the floodgates and made this happen.  ;D

Yeah, JTA... recently bashing MNs for some reason (Paul aimed that comment (joke or not) to this site or Yak).

Man, that really flew by today. I thought we would get there by Monday but wow. So happy to see this happen.

Like others, I'm in the "where will this go?" camp, but I egos some ideas. Like I've mentioned before, this has really spurred on my 'what is really important in my collection' movement. I've been selling a lot of stuff off, and storing away more as well, just to clear space and make things a little less crowded. Anyways, awesome to see this happen, now the wait to get it begins.

PM me when you do!  I don't know how much I'm looking to spend right now, but after skipping Clone Wars and collecting Rebels, I'm thinking about going back and doing the whole CW thing.

It went up 300, on my lunch break.  I was gone a little over an hour.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within

Thank you thank you.  But I couldn’t have done it without myself, and so I want to take time out to thank me for my tireless work to wait and wait and wait to make my purchase so as to build a level of suspense of people behind me waiting to see what I would do before they finally would back their own barges.  It was a lot of sacrifice, on my part and mine alone, and I know you all appreciate what I and I alone have done for the hobby...  you’re welcome, as I have saved Star Wars.

I wonder if they contacted Rick Springfield. He's like almost Steve Sansweet levels of SW collector.

Wow. Did a double take on the name. Sure enough, a youtube search confirms he's the same guy.

That is a serious collection.

And he's not just some rich dude blowing money on a passing interest. He acquired most of his figures when they first came out; rock star/actor arriving into town and then scouring the local Toys R Us.
