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

[GrandMoffNick]

I'm with Rob on the legal side. Seems counter intuitive but I could put up a stink if I was told you'd only charge my card at 5000 and then do so at 4750.

Yeah, this is the big point you guys are making.  It's stupid, but it only takes one guy to make a stink about it (and like Rob said, the RS forums are full of potential "one guy" who would do it just for spite).

At this point, it sure looks like it's either NOT going to happen or it's going to happen because Hasbro/HTS wants it to happen and is willing to buy us up to 5000.  In fact, those 1000 or so they have to buy internally to get us to 5000 could be the "limited amount" that are made available to the OUS folks.

[McMetal]

I have assumed all along if they got close they would have some "ringers" on hand ready to kick in whatever it takes to make up the difference. Either Hasbro employees themselves (like Stevie "instagram" Evans) or a cabal of high roller collectors like Sansweet, etc.

Just makes sense to have a "flex" contingency like this, otherwise it's a lot of time and energy wasted for nothing.

Agreed, but I bet we’re talking about less than 500 if it falls short. Hell, it'll probably be less than 1000 to go by this time tomorrow.

I’m still not bought but will soon.

OK, just backed it...  I figure I'm not dragging my feet till the very last second on it, I just was being lazy.  Now that I've backed it, it's sure to fail.  You're welcome.

Time for them to reveal the Vintage Packaging methinks...

[Nicklab]

It does seem like they need one last promotional push to get through the 4000 threshold and hopefully bring it to the goal.  The EW and USA Today pieces certainly helped.  I wonder if they're going to try getting a push from the Official Site or maybe even the Star Wars Show?

[Mister Skeezler]

With six days left they should be firing on all cylinders.

[Brian]

Ok, officially a backer now. I sold off enough other things to get to the level where I was comfortable committing to this. Can't wait. 3928 as of my order.

[Pete_Fett]

I'm thinking that they will reveal another "bonus" like taking Kithaba (VC56), giving him a different paint op and packaging him on a POTF2 repro cardback w/coin as "Barada" - or even a Vintage Carded version of the Klaatu that's been in the unpainted prototype pics.

[Rob]

I hope so.  It's going to take a big push to get it over the top, and any freebies that aren't completely unique just help pay for the thing for those of us who don't collect carded.

[Dave]

I'd love a plastic Sarlacc Pit to put in between the Sail Barge and the skiff that I'll end up displaying next to it.
