About this deal

Besides the barge, accessories include a Jabba the Hutt figure, Yak Face on a collectible card, the necessary parts for barge assembly and other minor details. The assembled Khetanna, though quite large and occupying substantial space, is an excellent display piece, given its detailing, coloring, molding and sculpt. The accompanying accessories also contribute to the overall appeal and showcase potential. We wanted to do something that wasn't transactional in nature but gave up the opportunity to really kind of love the process and reveal it and share updates,” says Ninivaggi. “This is a year-long process and we created this beautiful book that shows all the behind-the-scenes work. We're celebrating Mark Boudreaux [Hasbro's senior principal designer on Star Wars], who has been part of every major vehicle since 1977, so it's a really beautiful kind of platform that goes well beyond just selling a product.”

Mos Eisley may notoriously be the wretched hive of scum and villainy. But if you have the courage and venture further, you’ll find the most disreputable characters in the galaxy lurking in the shadows of Jabba the Hutt’s throne room. Space-faring creatures, profit-seeking bounty hunters, spies, smugglers, and off-worlders just looking for a party, Jabba’s palace is the place to be. That is, unless you have a price on your head. Again, that cannon, which you can tell ruined so many other things about the set: the front, piece count, look of it closed Early glimpses at the 3D modeling for the ship reveal a baby rancor scaling the side of Jabba's lounge wall, an armory, and intricate murals and grisly trophies reminiscent of his other favorite decoration -- Captain Solo in carbonite.

Years ago, toy prototypes relied on wax-modeled figures and wooden carvings for larger ships and vehicles. Now, those intricate sculpts are rendered with special software and computer generation, then 3D printed. While missing the rest of the band, he’s a great figure but could be a lot more. LEGO collectors are never happy, so now that we have Max, we need to demand some Sy Snoodles or a Joh Yowza (wow, I’m sliding away from normal nerdocity into “how did you ever get married?” nerdocity, aren’t I), or at the very least, access to some Bith figures. In the case of Jabba's barge, it's been 35 years people have been asking us to make it,” Ninivaggi notes. “We make a lot of awesome products and we're proud of the line we make and it's certainly size able. But there are the ones that got away, the ones that we can't get to.”

In the end, unlike the RGS model, this is a set that lived up (down?) to my initial impressions. This is far more Jay Fiedler (the QB that replaced Marino, for those paying attention) than Aaron Rogers, and it shows. If anything nice can be said about it, it’s that it makes you want to take the few good elements and go and improve the old Sail Barge, or perhaps try to build and even better MOC between them.I’m an American, and a fan of our brand of Football, so there’s a great analogy here to describe the impossible mission that’s here for this model. Basically… no one wants to be the guy who replaces John Elway (or Joe Montana, or Troy Aikman, or Dan Marino). When Elway retired in 1999, he was coming off of two Super Bowl wins and was, without question, the best player that the Broncos had ever had. Now, there was a massive gap in the lineup, and the guy who had to come in and replace him would never be able to win over the fans or perform at the same level.

The finished piece will be comparable to a model, the makers say. “The good thing on the Vintage Collection is it demands extra detail,” Evans says. “We've probably put two to three layers of plastic to really get that detail. It's almost like sort of a kit...a much more intricate design.” Tired of her promises, Bib Fortuna personally journeyed to Cid's office for an update on the rescue of Muchi. A male Twi'lek, Bib Fortuna hailed from Ryloth, the homeworld of his species. [1] Fortuna was born to a prominent clan that had close ties to the criminal underworld, though his more politically minded cousin Beezer resented his family's associations. [6] Before coming into the service of Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Fortuna worked as a slave trader, one who was focused on members of his own species. He became rich from selling his fellow Twi'leks into slavery. [9] At some point, Fortuna came into Jabba's service and competed against Bidlo Kwerve to become the Hutt's majordomo. [10] Fortuna also gave Jabba his pet rancor [11] Pateesa [12] as a birthday present. [11] Ultimately, Fortuna succeeded and claimed the job whereas Kwerve ended up as an early victim of the rancor. [10] The sails are plastic now, instead of the fabric we got with the old one. They’re also a bit smaller, so you can’t just swap the sails out if you get it (you can, however, swap the entire mounts between them). Fans of soccer/football will have to tell me if there’s a more international version of this as well, though my understanding sees players move around a lot more between clubs in the European leagues.This past weekend, Jabba’s Sail Barge began showing up on the doorsteps of long awaiting Star Wars fans. A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 202 dates the Second rescue of Grogu to "9 ASW4" or nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, including the Battle of Yavin. " A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 211 similarly dates the Assassination attempt on Boba Fett to 9 ABY. Since the epilogue of " Chapter 16: The Rescue" takes place between the second rescue of Grogu and the assassination attempt on Boba Fett, it can be concluded that the events of the epilogue, including Bib Fortuna's death, occurred in that same year.
