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!
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.

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.

Head on over to check out the images and a time-lapse video of the process.

Dark Side Toys has announced that they will be sharing some details soon on what appears to be an option for UK fans to order Hasbro’s most impressive Sail Barge. This could be a big step toward making this project a reality.
Update: Steve Evans himself is endorsing this option for overseas collectors via his personal Instagram account.
Update 2: FWIW Steve deleted his post.
Hasbro has revealed an approximation of the box dimensions for the HasLab Sail Barge box*. As you can see, this thing will be huge! With 19 days left, there is still time to reach the 5000 threshold for production.
