Did anyone get their email yet? I haven't received mine yet. I am anxious to get it and know I am in. Perhaps they are waiting till this morning to run us all through.

Just saw this on HasLab:

"You supported it. Now we're making it!
You did it! Thanks to your overwhelming support, Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna) campaign was successfully backed. We could not have done this without you. Now it is our turn to get to work making this dream product a reality.

In addition to your order confirmation email, you will receive a shipment notification email once Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna): Behind the Workbench booklet is on its way to you. At that point, we will also charge your preferred payment method. If your card is declined (this happens from time to time), you will receive an email letting you know that we cannot process your order. You will have 3 business days to call our Customer Service team to update your information.

As we work towards an estimated sail date of February 28th, 2019, we want to stay as connected to you as possible. We will be sending periodic email updates (make sure you are subscribed!) as well as keeping this section updated with the latest photos and information direct from the development team.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service team at 1-800-408-0052. We couldn't be more excited and are thrilled to be on this journey with you."

Looks like they are still processing things a bit and then will send out the payment charged emails.

Still no email yet:



Adjusted count I am guessing.

That's okay as long as the number of backers doesn't decrease to under 5,000, again  ::) ;)


@The Spectre: Congratulations mate! Tamer is right, you won't regret it! I wish I could've backed it, too, but with shipping and customs I would've ended up around $1,200 - even if I ordered it from DS Toys in the UK - and that's just way off. $534 is actualy a great deal!
I wish Hasbro makes the Khetanna also availavble outside North America.

What's actually the deal now? Will only as many units of the barge be produced as there were pre-orders? Or will Hasbro produce more once the 5,000 backers were gathered?

Darth More to answer your questions, since this was backed the chances to see it at regular retail outside of Canada and the United States are pretty much expected. They could also rerelease it even in the states although they have said they will change it a bit (inference here is it won't be the same packaging, packs in, paint deco, not as nice in general).

And here is an email I got yesterday for HasLab:

"Campaign was successfully backed!

Thanks to fans like you, we are thrilled to announce the HasLab campaign for The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna) is fully backed.

Before you know it, you'll be opening a (very big) box with a piece of Star Wars™ history inside. In the meantime, we will be sending you a copy of Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna): Behind the Workbench booklet. Due to the incredible response from the fan community, the new estimated ship date for the booklet is 4/25/2018. We will also charge your preferred payment method at that time.

Be sure to stay in the loop throughout the production process via HasLab email updates, or by visiting the updates tab. Email updates will be sent to the email address you provided at checkout, so make sure you don't unsubscribe! Questions or concerns? Call us at 1-800-408-0052 and we'd be happy to help.

-The Hasbro HASLAB Team

I checked my payment method. There is a new authorization there for the Sail Barge! Looks like they are charging early!

I posted on the front page yesterday, but forgot to mention the booklets are being sent out. Looking forward to getting mine.

Thank you for keeping us updated, Tamer! The Khetanna should finally start shipping in the United States and Canada in just one month! The long wait will finally be over for all people who could back the barge!

For everyone outside North America I just sent a message to Hasbro's Customer Service in the U.S.
Their customer service for Germany always refers to them when it comes to questions on products, distribution and development because the headquarters on Rhode Island are in charge for that.

So here is what I wrote:

_________________________________________________


Please Choose a Product *: Star Wars

Category *: Request

Subject *: HasLab project SW Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna)

Question *:

Dear Sir or Madam, Dear Hasbro Team,

at San Diego Comic Con 2018 staff members of the Hasbro team, Steve Evans and Joe Ninivaggi, gave an interview and also answered questions about the upcoming Jabba's Sail Barge.
Making this excellently designed vehicle available outside North America was also on topic on SDCC'18. The Khetanna is going to be shipped there in February 2019 as far as I know. Are there any further plans on distributing the Sail Barge in Europe, too? Will there be an official announcement by Hasbro?
I would be beyond happy to see this become available in Germany and the rest of the world. And I know many other fans and collectors in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Spain and Mexico would LOVE to buy it, too, instead of paying a fortune for it on the aftermarket plus insane shipping costs and import fees...
I keep this message short, although this topic is highly emotional and discussed since its reveal on most forums and social media.
Please, take your faithful customers and fans outside North America into account, too.
Thank you for your support and best regards from Germany!
Philipp M.


___________________________________________


I didn't find the exact interview from SDCC, but I know that people are still waiting for an official statement by Hasbro. My writing might be a little exaggerated at some parts in order to make them aware of its importance.
Let's see what they answer...




I know that Dork Side Toys offered a limited amount of Barges for pre-order for European countries. I'm excited if this will actually happen. Back then I didn't want to pay 599.99 GBP plus import taxes...

UPDATE:

Shortly after I had sent the message to Hasbro, I received an automatic conformation that my message was received and answered, soon. Nothing new here, BUT interestingly this confirmation came from the German customer service, although I sent the request to Hasbro U.S.!
I had to sign up at Hasbro Customer Care so they know I'm from Germany.

And I haven't received an answer, yet, which is odd, too. Hasbro usually answer quickly.
My message might've gotten lost OR the reason for the delay is something else...

I got a strange feeling about this...and will keep you updated!

Cheers!

Yes, definitely let us know what they say. Hard to believe the wait is almost up! I so have got to make a support shelf so I can display this thing!

As expected, my request was automatically directed to the German consumer service, instead of the American. Also as expected they kindly told me that they have no information at all about this product (the Khetanna) and that they are unfortunate that they couldn’t give me a more satisfying information.

I wonder why it had almost taken them 2 weeks for that answer though...

So no surprise here - let’s wait for ToyFair and keep our fingers crossed.

This is where the fun begins...


Jeditemplearchives made me aware of this auction! Five days to go and look where it has already come to!


I’m almost disgusted by how much people bid for him. Please, do not bid on this one. Let’s see at which price this Yak will end and take it with a grain of Saelt. Cheers.

Taking a look at the comment section on JTA might be worth the time, too:

Yesterday, I finally found the time to share the latest listings of tunghori, which are 3 of the 4 figures of TVC Wave 4 (20).

He sells Saelt Marae for $18.99 + shipping. Check out reply #82-84 for full details after the jump:

Wait till you see how much the Barges start going for when they get in hand. Those folks who ordered three or four are hoping to get rich off of em. And eBay might just let them do that.

Off to share.
