There are errors and then there are errors. This one may be one of the best ones so far in terms of its uniqueness. Collector William M. from the We Backed the Barge Facebook group posted this amazing sample featuring the exclusive Yak Face affixed to the card, bubble and all, upside down. Congrats, that’s a keeper!
DorksideToys.com and Yakface.com are happy to announce the Jabba’s Sail Barge Ultimate Giveaway*. Simply follow the instructions on the above graphic on Instagram to enter. Winner will be selected on March 15, 2019. *Open to continental U.S. residents only. (Giveaway is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, Lucasfilm or Hasbro/HasLab).
A SECOND barge will be given away to attendees of Star Wars Celebration Chicago next month. Stay tuned for details.
The first barge orders have started to arrive to collectors. Frank L. posted a few shots on Facebook but one of note has already sparked some discussion. There is no styrofoam corners in inside the box to prevent the Barge’s gorgeous box from damage. I suspect a few horror stories will be shared as a result of this.
Per our link reveal a couple weeks ago, Walmart has populated the page for their Exclusive Jabba’s Palace Adventure Set. The price is set at $49.67. Hopefully it will be available for order soon.
Looks like Hasbro’s dipping back into the orange line 3.75″ Black Series again as a new listing has popped up on Walmart.com via Brickseek for a Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony) figure for the Vintage Collection. No word yet on exclusivity. On a related note, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 6″ version of this figure before too long.
K & C Collectibles has received New: Stormtrooper (Mimban) and 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper Vintage Collection, Black Series 6″, LEGO’s, and Gentle Giant bust and Statues. Click the NEW PRODUCTS link under the Categories Section for a complete list of recently added items.
Hasbro has started the FedEx label creation process for the HasLab Jabba’s Sail Barge. If you’re signed up for the FedEx Delivery Manager service, you will soon receive an email notification (if you haven’t already) that a label has been created for your barge(s) and are being prepared for shipment.
Update via Rob G. on our Facebook page:
I just got off the phone with Hasbro. Bottom line, even though I have not received a notice about my sail barge, I found out mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. They are having communication issues with Fed-Ex. I recommend folks who have not received notice should call Hasbro and confirm their order @ 1-800-408-0052.
