We’ve been talking about this for a couple of weeks – heck, most of Star Wars fandom have been talking about it – and as it reaches 2170 of 5000 backers with just a month and a day to go, StarWars.com join the conversation with a look at the HASLAB Sail Barge.
And good news for Canada as the project expands to include that country. Fingers crossed better news spreads east to Europe and beyond.
For 35 years, fans have been clamoring for their own piece of Star Wars extravagance and sophistication: a Hasbro recreation of Jabba’s sail barge, the Khetanna, which the notorious crime lord used to cruise across the Dune Sea. With the launch of HasLab, an innovative new platform bringing big ideas and niche products to life, fans across the United States — and, StarWars.com can exclusively reveal, in Canada, too! — may soon be able to sail away with their own massive 4-foot-long, highly detailed recreation from the toy brand’s comprehensive 3.75-inch scale Vintage Collection. The never-before-produced vehicle has been on the wish lists of fans and toy designers alike for decades, says Hasbro’s director of Global Brand Strategy and Marketing Joe Ninivaggi.
