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

Not that he would make much of a difference, but I'm a little surprised Crumb hasn't been thrown in here. He's sort of part and parcel with Jabba, so... I figure a POTF Klattu w/ coin is in the offing, though he won't have the oomph of Yakface.

I was thinking about that as an alternative - but I don't believe Klaatu was ever on a POTF cardback with a coin. Was he? Barada was, which is why I picked him. I'd be okay with either really - anything that gets it to 5000 is a good thing in my book.

The mini-Vintage carded Salacious Crumb would be a nice touch too.

I don't believe Klatuu was. Think he was one of the mythic unproduced POTF cards. A TVC Crumb would be cool, or maybe a Slave Leia w/ Crumb, to make them both unique from previous versions.

Klaatu in the skiff guard outfit was one of the few vintage figures that I never got.  I had to look it up to get a little more information.  It looks like the vintage version came out with a Sears exclusive Jabba’s dungeon playset and also on a ROTJ card.  But POTF?  Admittedly, I’m out of my depth when it comes to the original POTF line. 

[Darby]

Definitely was never a POTF version of Skiff Guard Klatuu. He came out w/ the Sears set in 83 and the ROTJ card in 84. So a POTF coin version here of the TVC figure would be highly unique.

Okay, you win, I'm going to back it. I'm getting a $600 tax return, so yeah. The catch is I'll wait until the weekend when I've had many, many beers and can't second guess the decision.

Nick, we're at 4,008. You backing it? 

[Rob]

4,039...that’s like 75 in the last two hours.

[Jesse James]

You'll note, as soon as I backed it, there's been a deluge.  Now, clearly, it would be obscene for me to take credit for this surge, but I think we all know it was me finally backing it that has done this.  You're welcome.  I lead you to Valhalla!

[Darby]

It's now over 4100 which is like 200 in the last 24 hours. I think this thing is getting made.

Who, me?

Niiiiiice.

When this gets made, and I finally have it, I plan on installing a sound box somewhere that plays this.

This post has me inspired to do something similar.  So I checked my vintage ROTJ soundtrack CD copy that I've had since the 80's to see if that tune was on the soundtrack.  It's always been a point of pride to have that copy since it's got "Lapti Nek" on it and not "Jedi Rocks".  SURELY this version of the soundtrack has to have the sail barge music, but NOOOOO!  I was shocked to learn that this piece of music that plays both in Jabba's throne room and on the sail barge has never been released on any soundtrack.

You can get it from that link, if you use a downloader, but I think I grabbed it, so I can send it over to you. I'll check tonight.

Thanks!
