Back the Barge Update: 6000 And Rising
Just because the barge has reached its goal of 5,000 orders doesn’t mean the campaign’s over and we’ve forgotten about it. It’s currently sitting at 6,159 barges sold, and with 2 days left, it may finish near 7,000. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. #backthebarge
Achievement Unlocked: Sail Barge Greenlit for Production
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!

Back The Barge Update
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.
Anything Worth Doing….
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.

Are You a Backer?
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.
