I finally got around to doing the sails this morning. I didn't really have that much trouble with them. I kinda lucked into the same technique that Justin mentions.

I did also have a heck of a time squeezing my hands into the back wall of the prison cell to attach those chains.

It was a lot of fun pulling figures out to staff the barge. I was even digging through boxes of Star Wars toys my sister gave me from the POTF2 through POTJ era. Unfortunately there wasn't a Tessek or Amanaman in there, but there was a complete set of Max Rebo's band 2-packs, a POTF2 Bib Fortuna which I'm going to use for now (my Saga one is staying with my Jabba's Palace display), a Pote Snitkin, 8D8 and EV-9D9.

LOL!  Yeah, can we try to keel the reviews a little shorter?  I don't have seconds of my day to waste.  Oh wait, yes I do.

Been seeing some folks mention poor paint job on the Jabba itself. I had a look at my Jabba and there are some minor blemishes I can live with. However this big divot on his nose is quite distracting. How are your Jabbas looking and does anyone know if Hasbro made mention of part replacement options for the barge?

Sorry to see that. Mine actually looks really good. I'd like it if Hasbro released him by himself, so I could replace the rubbery tail version in my palace setup.

Tomorrow is the day I guess. I plan on taping a giant note to my front door first thing in the morning saying I AM HOME! PLEASE RING BELL OR KNOCK!  :D

It is, but I'd like to amend it and say it gets 9/10 as well.  Video review of me saying that all soon.

Signage is up. The waiting game has begun!

Considering making a drinking game out of it and doing a shot every hour til it shows up... :D

And just like that, the waiting has ended!

I've been BARGED!  ;) :D ;D :o

A few dings and dents, but nothing that appears too concerning. Relief...

Now I just have to decide WTH I am doing with this thing.

I cracked mine open to get the yak face out for this buyer... the Yak Face had a curved, super thin crease along the top right of the card, and the card had some curve to it as well - I sent him pictures and am waiting to find out if he still wants it.   :-\

My Jabba was fine - no cleft palate, no two-right-hands... all normal.  Barge looks good too, I have to crack open all the pieces and get them on it tonight.
