As a business owner, there is always a fine line between what the fans want, and how many will actually pay for it, especially if it is big.
Take for example the ridiculous price on the Hasbro Star Wars AT-AT from Rogue One, the Millenium Falcon from Force Awakens, etc. etc.
For years, fans have been asking for a Jabba's Sail Barge - well, Hasbro has delivered - sort of.
If you want it, you have to make a pre-order pledge for it.
Hasbro Lab 4 Foot Jabba's Sail Barge
If Hasbro receives 5000 pre-orders, they'll make it. It's huge. It will come in vintage packaging. Within 48 hours, there are 1122 orders. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
Now is the time for fans to put their money where their mouth is.

How many fans who asked for this four or five years ago (if not longer) are still buying Star Wars figures? Add on top of that a $500.00 buy in price? No thanks!
ReplyDeleteLet me be honest here - If I had four feet of available display space, I'd much rather fill said space with multiple shelves via a display case.
It's crazy - but it just might work. Not sure if they'll get 5000 pledges. It is amazing but they could have made it smaller. Will be watching to see how it pans out.
