3.75" Collecting Thread

[Captain Clown]

Based on the Barge, when should we expect to see the box art for this?

The HasLab campaign for the Sail Barge was announced at starwars.com on March 2nd, 2018:

And the packaging was revealed at Hasbro's haslab site (which is now gone but archived on pulse) on December 21st, 2018:

Then ultimately all the Sail Barges shipped by March 14th, 2019.

So maybe a few months before this ships? I hope we get another booklet that ships before this does too - it was neat flipping through that.

It would be pretty awesome if the 20k unlock was a nice hardcover booklet that includes the art from the credits. I feel like they have to do one more unlock for 20k, it's just such an impressive milestone to reach.

Yeah that’s nuts Hasbro is like holy crap how many do we have to make again lol

 

[Khev]

Watch them make so many they end up selling for less than MSRP on Ebay, lol.

 

[Buttmunch]

Lol never going to happen. 20k is the size of some SDCC exclusive runs, it’s minuscule to retail numbers.

Chewie get ready to punch it!

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Almost to 19k...

 

[chrisstbh]

How many did they make of other Haslab projects like the Sail Barge etc.?

Also 19k.

Sentinel’s 2,193 is the current record. If this can best that without the army building potential it had, then this is proof profound that TVC scale is still very much loved.

Great point! I know this project is what pulled me into 3.75 star wars collecting. Only ever owned a few 1/6 figures of the property. Now i'm going hog-wild - i'm invested. Buying up TVC stuff in arm loads.

Only 250 short of 20k. I don't want to complain too much because Hasbro has done some nice unlocks but they really should be more engaging than what they have been considering they made this a crowd funded item. If you are going to shake your tin cup for financing I would have expected an update by now since they have long passed 17k.

McFarlane crowd funding communication > Hasbro crowd funding communication

 

[chrisstbh]

20,000 backers now (20,019 to be exact).

 

[Buttmunch]

Dang! This might actually beat the sentinel at this rate!

 

[jye4ever]

20,000 unlock should be 20% off the Falcon.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Dang! This might actually beat the sentinel at this rate!

I think it will pretty easily now. I think it will go over 22k with tomorrow's last day push.

 

[TonTon]

I'll say 25K

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I'll say 25K

If they add another good unlock tomorrow I am ordering a second one. For just in case

Did the Sail Barge ship within their estimated window or was it delayed?
