You did it! The required number of orders needed to proceed with the production of the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge (with exclusive POTF Yak Face) has been reached and with 4 days to spare! If you still want one (or another one) and haven’t backed yet, you have until 11:59 pm on April 3 to make your decision.
Yakface forum staffer localgotal is back again with yet another round of Concept Series figures he’s created. This latest update continues his recent theme of great figures that Hasbro should make or release again in honor of what we hope is a successful Sail Barge campaign!
Reports are coming in that the long-awaited Walmart Exclusive 6″ Kylo Ren (Throne Room) has started showing up in stores (for $29.84) to coincide with the release of The Last Jedi on 4K/Blu-ray/DVD. Brickseek devotees can use code 287877571 to help track down a location in your area.
Instagram follower maur00liveira send a report that his local GameStop in Manhattan, NY (34th & 6 Ave) has about 20 6″ Black Series Captain Rex figures. Good luck if you’re on the hunt.
We are in the final days of the #backthebarge campaign. Only 7 days remain. If you don’t order soon, your chance will rest in the Pit of Carkoon.
Eagle-eyed commenter Jeff recently noticed that the image of Yak Face used on Hasbro’s mockup for the exclusive Power of the Force version (included with the Sail Barge) is not the same stock photo originally used for the 1985 version. Hasbro design team, if you’re going to do this thing, can you revise the art to better match the original release?
With just over 8 days to go, and as of this post, the count is up to 3,663 Sail Barges backed.
Can we hit the magic number of 5,000? How many of our readers still intend to help make this amazing toy a reality? Let us know, and remember, the clock is ticking.
The new 6″ Black Series 4-LOM has a very cool feature. According to @plastichunter22 on Instagram, the head is cast is a translucent green plastic and if you shine a light behind it, the eyes glow green!
Thanks to KyloCollector for the heads-up.
Here is a nice look at the upcoming Hero Series Imperial Patrol Trooper from Solo: A Star Wars Story. This is the trooper we see in the teaser that crashes his speeder on Corellia in pursuit of Han and Qi’ra.
The flood continues as Instagram follower madcollector24 reports finding wave 1 of the 2018 Vintage Collection at Fry’s Marketplace in Chandler, Arizona
