Crazy. I cannot imagine what the war will be on these when they start shipping.

You're exactly right and as expected the aftermath on the aftermarket is going crazy already. "War" describes this well and this war has begun.

Here's the first auction I know of for the complete Khetanna (+ Saelt Marae):

https://www.ebay.de/itm/STAR-WARS-JABBAS-SAIL-BARGE-KHETANNA-HASBRO-HASLAB-NO-YAKFACE-March-Delivery/283358215302?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170511121231%26meid%3D3977ad79caee42d281790d34b4eb7a4e%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D264178605168%26itm%3D283358215302&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A28273370-2de1-11e9-8436-74dbd1801335%7Cparentrq%3Adbee81721680aa6697b98b3effbbd5e1%7Ciid%3A1


Let's see where this ends...

As written in the comments on JTA I agree that this has nothing to do with scalping (talking about auctions, not buy-it-now offers). These show how high the demand is. At this point a big shout out and thank you goes out to Hasbro for completely ignoring the demand for the Khetanna both national and international. I'm sure there were quite a few people in the U.S. and Canada who were able to back the barge, but just didn't have the $500 spare until the due date.
Even if I lived in North America I would've needed more than these (was it 6 weeks?) to save the money to back it, too!

Oh, and here is another nice offer for the Yak aka Face:

Thanks for sharing the news! I apologize for my screenshots still being partly in German although I change settings to ebay.com in the app. I really need to figure something out for that...

I suppose this barge will be sold between $1,200-$1,400 since there are buy-it-now offers starting from $1,400 U.S.
The "cheapest" offer has 60 people watching and there was one of two sold for $1,475 already from another seller...this is beyond crazy but was MOST DEFINITELY being expected to happen!

Again, thanks Hasbro! Hope their next HasLab projects will be somewhat smaller and more affordable...even on the aftermarket! Cheers!

Let's see...

I think when we see what the next thing they do is it will be funded quick just from folks hoping to double or triple their money like they are gonna be able to do with the Sail Barge.

For comparison: This is how much the original Vintage Yak Face is currently sold for loose on eBay.co.uk and ebay.de:






Many and good pictures make a difference and condition/accessories of course  ;)


Vintage or neo - doesn't matter - people go crazy for all kinds of stuff:

HasLab sends final update for the Sail Barge...

Well the wait is just about over and a few of the great tidbits from this last email about the Barge:

-All orders will have shipped by March 4th

-Packages will be in a double heavy duty shipping container with corner protectors

-You have to be present to sign for your Barge Delivery

-They have included the Assembly Instructions

Talk about awesome folks!

Got this yesterday:



Got this today:



I was actually able to log into FedEx, create an account, and get this delivered at a time I was able to be home so all should be good. It was a five dollar charge, but getting this in my hands is worth it. I also could have had it shipped to a new address for about the same deniro. Now all I have to do is get through work on Tuesday!

I have been hearing some horror stories on Facebook about the shape some of these are showing up in. Forklift damage, etc. Trying not to worry about it. I know Hasbro probably made some extras to deal with shipping damages.

You mean you are really going to work on Tuesday, Shawn? With this coming? It Reminds me of the time I waited in line till midnight for a playstation2 at a Walmart. I had scheduled the next day off as a playday

Yeah I am. I paid an extra five bucks to have my time slot narrowed to when I could be home to sign for it. I am trying to stay off Facebook as I am seeing some horrible boxes. At least my driveway is clear of snow for the most part now!
