Final Week For The Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge - The Toyark - News

[Comedian]

This should hit 4,000 by Wednesday or Thursday,then I expect another hasbro news story. Maybe the box or another figure or both. That should help the final surge. Once it hits 4,000 the numbers should grow pretty quick.

I wonder if other companies are taking notice here,Mattel kind of started this with motuc but I wonder if with toysrus going down and this KB thing looks like a joke if the new Phoenix is crowdfunding by toy companies. I wonder if Neca could do something like this for larger items or even a series of figures?

[Super Joe]

G.I.Joe's own Derryl DePriest (former head of the brand) just expressed interest in doing a HasLab project! He's now Hasbro's VP of Global Brand Management, looking over other brands. Hence he's reportedly also talking of Transformers doing a Haslab project! If we as collectors, help spread the word, other big things will be possible!

I don't even collect 3 3/4" anymore but I'm considering it now that it's close to the goal.

[Super Joe]

^^^ Its a great time to return to 3.75. The Vintage Collection 3.75 shall return in stores any minute now. As added incentive the Barge will come with a fun 3.75 figure of Yakface!

[Ctonra5669]

will Yakface only be available with the Barge, or is this a carded variation available only with the barge. was looking to pick up a few Yaks for customs

[Augustus_Cole]

let them numbers keep a climbin....my fanger is on da trigguh...
I'm just a itchin' to pull it...

[Comedian]

Yakface will be out next year as part of the vintage collection. This power of the force card is only available with the barge. I am seeing acticles saying given time yakface alone could go for $500. If that happens he would pay for your barge. In time. I think you have to sit on this for a bit.

Almost at 3850 right now.

Honestly that's what I was thinking to do. If I did order this I almost certainly would sell Yakface. The only thing keeping me from it is that card is beautiful and the only TVC figure on a card like that. Damn collecting habits!

Let it die.

Reminds me of all the people still sitting on PotF 2005 Monkey-face Leia just waiting for their ship to finally come in.

[Sithlord1963]

Should have opened this up to the European/ROW Market. Reckon they'd have got their minimum 5000 orders by now!

[Comedian]

Had Europe been in,it would have helped,but with the shipping costs for them....it would have kept some away. They seem to be learning for next time,so hopefully world wide fans can order for the next one and have good shipping prices.

On the monkey face leia,1995...that had 100,000 world wide.lol...yakface will command a huge amount on that card. He will become a static collectible....collectibles that don't leave a collection....once he dries up...he will be gold.

Crazy idea (that might make sense). Roll the dice, buy another Barge (to quickly sell at maybe a tiny profit), yet keep the extra Yak face? Again, just a crazy idea.

[Super Joe]

4,000

Yay!!!

[Comedian]

4002! We now need less than 1,000!

Full disclosure, I have not ordered yet. I will this weekend....there are many more out there like that.

[Augustus_Cole]

wow.... 4,277 and i think it was under 4K yesterday....
this is prolly' gonna happen....woo hooo

[Comedian]

Getting close to 4450 now. Over 330 orders today. At this pace the 5,000 could be reached as early as tomorrow(Good Friday) or saturday. I am not seeing the Debbie downers anymore on any sites. Perhaps they are to busy ordering.

[Augustus_Cole]

what if someone was waiting...and waiting...and it hit 5,000 so you finally decided to pull the trigger and then is says, "sorry, we have reached our quota for orders. Please try again during our next offering"

you'd be kicking yourself in the nuts...

sidenote.. only 355 more orders needed. I actually refreshed the site while looking at it and the number went up 2 more.


I bet you by midnight of the 3rd (11:59) it'll be up by about another thousand

[Comedian]

Imagine that!

I think this thing will hit the goal tonight. The future is bright for haslab!

i just honestly wonder...how many people are buying this strictly to flip at some point.

**ha 16 more in just 20 min

[juggernaut209]

Very impressive spike, now at 4,716 orders... this will definitely surpass the minimum orders. Although I don't need one, its exciting to see it come together.

[Comedian]

He now need only 174 to fund this! Should be funded in an hour or 2.

So...what do we want next?!

[Augustus_Cole]

trigger......pulled...

next.. i want the kitana in 6" scale...ha

I've thought about it, but I just can't see giving Disney ANY money, even if it means making a profit.
