@@grunt7323 Yep. I just wanted to put the prices into context. I'd also say the fact that this was crowd funded adds to that in the way of hidden costs for the consumer (via savings for the manufacturer/seller) that isn't directly reflected in the cost itself, along with the fact that it is a direct-sale item without an intermediate markup step at the retailer level.
i don't believe you could have convinced kids to pay 100 for jabbas sail barge...you'd have to make it much cheaper...i think a good portion would be printed card board...like the death star
i bought one for 90 USD in 2018 only missing a few very minor parts and QUICKLY sold it for 500 with slightly warped deck panels. Was super cool to have for a few weeks
Friend, I am soon to be 53 yeas old. I was, at one time, a hard core Star Was fan. Star Wars was the last movie my Father took me to see(He died shortly after the first movie was released i the United States). I collected the action figures for years. Until I discovered girls and bought my first car from my cousin Herby(a 1973 Datsun 240z(no as cool as the Millennium Falcon, but not too bad...And the girls liked it, so...) But lately I have been thinking about my younger days, as we sometimes do...And I have greatly enjoyed your video's! I have even ordered a used copy of "Tales from Jabba's palace."! I have some of the other Star Wars books...the books of short stories are my favorites. The tales of the "canteena" are pretty good. The "Bounty Hunters tales" are even better."TBH, these days I am a GW "Horus Heresy" Book series. That series is nearly 60 books long, and many, many more including many short story comps. Anyway, I have enjoyed your series of video's. I have even dug out my SW action figure collection. I stopped collecting, as I said, after I discovered the joys of a fast car and a buxom first girlfriend...But my wife(also Buxom, LOL! but the 240z is sadly sold off. Now a days my ride is a Kea Sportage) had fun watching me open shoe boxes I hav'nt opened since, oh, 1995-6...I even have a "Blue" Snaggle tooth. Not "new and unpunched"(I was surprised that he is worth that much. Even in my "played with" condition. He is still in good condition. Not gonna part with him, tho...). Many of my figures are still in those shoe boxes, happy to say. I wish my son, john, 16 years old, was interested in Star Wars. Oh, all this talking, and I did'nt say my name is John, Shirleys husband! She has the you tube account. I just sometimes make comments! But thanks for the video's! Best wishes!
Tales from jabbas palace and bounty hunter tales ARE SO DANG GOOD, and that 90s era of star wars books(x wing series, tales, etc) by kevin j anderson and others were SUCH an incredible era!
Mate, like your other subs have probably already said, weve all watched plenty of reviews of this Barge. but yours is by far the best one i've seen. Great content and congrats on joining an elite collectors club by having the barge itself.
The interior detail seems to come straight from the Incredible Cross Sections book. The cockpit, jail, kitchen, and armoury are all in there, although the cells are on another deck below the main one. So not from the film, but at least from another official Star Wars source, and it looks like Hasbro has done a fantastic job of recreating them.
I don't understand those people that buy this and leave it in the box. For $1,500 I would put it on display, get all the figures for it. That is a really nicely done Sail Barge.
Amazing replica for collectors. Nice to see this classic vehicle was finally created for the film. The Jabba scenes are some of the best in the film series. I hope 2022's Obi-Wan series visits Jabba often.
Funny you mention that series. For me it was a real let down. Should have all been set on Tatooine. Lots for Obi Wan to see, do and avoid there. But no, they had to go and "ruin it". Shame, seemed a good idea for a series originally.
@@BlackArroToons Yep. So much potential, I am surprised the producers never took this route. Seems the obvious direction to go with a post Episode 3 series on Obi Wan!
Love this vehicle. I do not regret purchasing it at all. It is basically the center piece of my collection. There really is nothing more I would want from it.
Hey, new(ish) subscriber and been watching a lot of your content recently. ROTJ is my favourite of all the SW films and I recently obtained a childhood grail - a complete vintage Kenner Jabba + throne. You've inspired me to start collecting Jabba/ROTJ pieces and this barge (and your review of it) are incredible. Shame I missed the boat on this one, this thing is like 4K on the aftermarket here in the UK. I very much doubt this will ever be released again and I also think looking back on this, 500 isn't as bad as was perhaps originally thought! So the best I can do is to watch this video and dream! Thanks again and I will continue to watch your fantastic videos!
Hey the throne slides back and forth because in a behind the scenes video, it is shown to slide around when Leia is choking Jabba. I believe he was sliding it around to try and shake her off.
Very detailed review. These were not available in the uk. One online retailer imported 500 ($750) and they flew off the shelf straight on to eBay. I only found out to late so were selling for $1800 to $2700. I got one last week for over a $1000. Not had time to open it yet. Don't want wifey to find out.
Congrats on ownership of such a cool Star Wars vehicle, nicely detailed review and personally the best I've watched on the subject. You covered a lot of ground that other reviews failed to do and the reference video clips were just perfect to accurately narrow down the finer details of the Barge. It's great to hear of one's highlights and lowlights because most reviews try to avoid anything negative about a product and their reviews just end up as show-boating and cheesy. Considering it's price tag, one thing I personally would've wanted Haslab to include in the kit would be a small lighting kit for the interior or perhaps a diorama base for it. I haven't bought one due to it's availability wasn't offering international sales at the time of the promotional deal... ...the size of it, I just don't have the space to display such a massive piece... ...I'm not a collector of action figures of that scale that would accommodate it and the playability features and such will go to waste with it just sitting there on display empty... I can't complain about the cost because I only recently purchased a Bandai PG Millennium Falcon which was around the same price range and is more toward my personal taste. Thanks for sharing.
I’m not a collector or anything like that, just a Star Wars fan. This is a really interesting video to watch, thanks for the amount of detail you’ve gone in to.
Excellent review!!!! Loved how you pointed out all those small details Hasbro included in the barge. What I Really liked was the display with the original figures👍
Which is why it was crowd funded. The big reason the sail barge never got released in the past was a combination of the size relative to the scale and the cost to make the initial mold. Retail just wouldn't be able to stock enough of them space wise in store to sell them at a friendly consumer price just to recoup the money to make it, much less make a profit. Now that the hard part is over (the mold is made and paid for thanks to the crowd fund) don't be surprised if the Sail Barge sees some sort of limited re-release in the future at a more consumer friendly price (with different packaging and not all the bell whistles it terms of paint apps and extra figures).
as a matter of principal- I'd like to buy one- make a youtube video of me raising a sledgehammer over it- and smashing it to smithereens with the Executive Hasbro toy company people's faces taped to it- that would be a nice stress reliever in my opinion- or maybe just drop one from the Empire State Building-when no one is on the sidewalk below, of course- my camera crew would be there to video it smashing into plastic nano dust from 5 angles
exactly- so I hereby put forth THE GREAT STAR WARS ROTJ *BUILD YOUR OWN* JABBA'S SAIL BARGE CHALLENGE of the CENTURY!!! you can use any material you desire- I would suggest- paper machete -since it is basically newspaper and glue- then you can paint over it- but if you are half way good with wood working- why not build it out of Balsa Wood? Light and easy to saw, shape, and mold- Then you can paint it- but take your time- Cross reference the original scenes from ROTJ to get it as close as possible- and create a few detachable pieces- and movable parts- *(example the easist being- the Cannon shutters - and the interior break apart - to show the party going on in the inside- then install some nice LED micro lighting- and sound chip to play the original music- and put R2-D2 w/ serving tray & drinks- action figure in there with Slave LEia and Jabba- You will be the toast of TH-cam if you create a more authentic versin than the over -priced Hasbro Barge-
Agreed with below--you are easily one of the most thorough and complete reviewers on YT... Wow.. 😳 I don't even collect SW but this review was amazing! Thanks! 👍 😃
Thanks for the great look at something I'll never have the pleasure of owning but with this intensive look at it, I get to enjoy it without having to dust it! But seriously, it's a great looking piece, obviously crafted by not only fans of Star Wars, but true fans of creating a great toy. Excellent video!
I watched another review already but had to see what Mighty Jabba thought! :) I have to admit, Hasbro delivered on the details. Thanks for showing all the movie comparisons.
I think it’s worth every penny of $400 plus shipping costs which would get it close to $500. So maybe it’s $20-$30 over-priced. I love the Khetanna so much. Too bad all the appropriate figures to display with it have skyrocketed in price, but logistically it would be impossible to keep everything available and in stock.
For the amount of detailing in this, $500 is a steal. I didn't even know this existed until it was no longer being made, and now on the secondary market they go for 5-6x that amount.
Best review of the sail barge by far. I personally appreciated the comparison of the display between the new vs. vintage figures. My heart is set on the vintage but they both look great. I always look forward to your videos. 👍🏻
"You'll realize its not really a box at all, its more of a giant piece of cardboard that folds over the contents." One of youtube's great unboxing quotes.
"It's pretty self explanatory, once you read the instructions." Comedy writers writers wish they could have strung that sentence together. One of the funniest things I've ever heard said. 😝
best review so far. I don't have one as the pre order was not available outside of the US. I hope they reissue this for other countries. Give us a chance to own this
But they hat 400 of them on ebay for foreign countrys. Americans were not allowed to buy them. Anouncement was going about for two months with a countdown for the selling start. They were all gone after 10 minutes. I had mine 10 seconds after the auction started. Tryed to buy two more with two acounts of friends. But didn't work because they had their ebay paypal connection up to date. My plan was to sell two and keep one for nothing. Price was 400...Shipping 400 again... and taxes. Later afraid it went broken during shipping. Lukily it was ok whit minor damage on the outer box.
I thought they did a pretty close job to the scale of the model. The actual barge was only around 90 feet long, so around maybe 15 action figures in length. Pretty crazy detail. Love the video.
Very nice review. I have watched a few others and they have done well, but not gone so far in depth. I kind of regret not getting one when the pre orders were up, but I was struggling a bit financially then. With the crazy prices on the secondary market, I will probably never have one. Just as well though, because I honestly don't have the space to display it properly.
Great review i wish i would’ got it 😩 i realy regreat it i love your videos i appriciate the time and effort you put to all your videos keep up the good work 👍🏻
I think my barge back in the day was done out of my Legos, and I had my mum help me with some red-orange felt fabric for the sunshades. Small notes - good memories. :)
Randomly ended up on your video here. Not sure if it’s been suggested but with the Yakface coin- you could probably adjust the coin’s position with a magnet.
Quick tip HERE! If you don't like Jabbas Microphone setup u can simply buy the Replacement Vintage Hookah Pipe (the ones that they found in the California warehouse) and believe it or not it goes right over Jabbas Microphone setup perfectly without having to remove it. The only problem is the clear bowl underneath that would have to be modified. I put it on my Barge and it looks awesome cause I wanted jabba to be smoking his pipe and for my barge to be a little different from others. Hope it helps someone.
I really wanted this vehicle a year ago, but once I started to logistically figure out where I could put it in my house I kind of lost interest. I'm happy it exists, but it's physically too large for a collector item in my home. Plus, with shipping and the fluctuating Canadian dollar, it was just under $800 when I looked at buying one. I hope we see more Haslab items in the future and they figure out a way to keep costs down, especially for international customers.
Agree ! i had the chance to buy it, but too big. i have a lot of fine dioramas, and this one should have take to much space. same if Hasbro would have said :ok we Will make à star destroyer !
A bit off-topic, but I worked at 5 Below about 5 or so years ago. They had the Star Wars figures with the retro packaging front and center as soon as you entered. These figures sold like hotcakes and I was always amused when someone would spend an hour scouring through the wheelbarrow that housed the figures. I'm not a massive Star Wars fan, but I always enjoy classic action figures, and those re-released ones really did look fantastic.
I wish that I had gotten this at the time, but I was too late for the payment. I see it on eBay for three times the price. Maybe eventually I will own one. It’s amazing.
Very nice video. I really enjoyed getting to see all of the details. It would be a cool ship to own; but, as you stated at the end, the price was out of reach for my budget. On e-bay, this piece is selling at a minimum for $1200!
you should take a picture of the interior with all the panels on with a timed camera or something pointing down to the thrown room i think it would look AWESOME to have similar light as the movie for a bad ass picture of the open inside
I just pick this up with all the figures from 2003 that are associated with the bardge! I paid 800 for it all. I also got a bag marked cantina. I think I did pretty well. I ordered some vintage figures to replace the newer ones.
If this did well, I hope they do a similar scale Jawa Sandcrawler, but my impossible desire is a more accurate to the attraction Star Tours Starspeeder.
Finally got a house big enough to display this beast, currently working on a mural to make this look more realistic. I love it, I agree Jabba could have been painted better.
If I recall the original Jabba had the clear plastic covering the eye & if you moved your head, the eyes would look as if it would follow you across the room.
This success makes me hope a Unicron could come about in the same way (I could never afford it, but I know many people would love to have a massive Unicron)
I did not know that with the figures. They could have offered that as an additional add-on, individually or the entire group you see pictured on the box. So that the backer could order them if he wanted or needed them. That would have been nice.
Nice video. (FYI..you kind of sound like a sleepy Kermit the Frog...No offence.) I received my barge on March 7th and I love it. Is it worth $500? I will admit, it is a bit overpriced, but not so much that I'm not glad that I bought it. (And I plan to make some money back on that carded Yakface figure. I think maybe Hasbro added him to get more people like me to back it, knowing that Yakface could be like a rebate of sorts.) As far as the barge, itself, the only complaint I have is that, for the price, they could have wired in some L.E.D. lights. (I have to get out a flashlight any time I look in this thing.) The design made me wonder how Jabba is supposed to get into it. Maybe the starboard wall of the lounge (behind Jabba) should have been made like an old style garage door, that you could swing up, when he enters or exits.
I think they should have made it full size, I think it's a drawback. About 10 % to 15% too small, the characters can't walk around the sail masts and hatches. Just charge me more or reduce the complexity of the sails which you have to remove to play with figures on the deck or the detail in the cockpit.
It's 10% to 15% too small! You can't walk around the sail mast and the hatches on the deck! The Vintage Collection Jabba is a more accurate size and better paint application then the undersized/underwhelming one provided. Add another $100 and make it full-size is MY main complaint, second is making me want to smoke by including Joe Camel.
Hate to say it...but i wish china would knock these and many other vintage collection items off...theyre so prohibitively expensive thats its hard for most guys to buy them at all when new, but now that they are out of production these are now 2200+ online
Been a while since I've had a detailed look, but I'm reasonably sure the details at the fore of the interior (cockpit, jail cell and galley) are pulled from the ICS book. Admittedly things are moved around some, but it's some pretty nice inclusion!
Woooow! This is surely the big woop of Star wars toys. I am very happy with my vintage Kenner Skiff, and have sometimes longed for the smaller skiffs to make a nice collection, but this one.... I would love to see the Khetanna displayed with one or two skiffs outside and maybe even the smaller skiffs as a fun thematic scenen. Are there any Sarlacc toys out there to include? =) Only thing that would have been a nice addition is some kind of escape pods or life-boat skiffs that characters lite Bib Fortuna and such, that is supposed to have escaped the explosion, could have used =)
And to think in 1985, a 7 foot long aircraft carrier went for $100
Which is about $250 in 2019 dollars.

Yeah in hindsight $500 doesn’t seem that bad, particularly when you factor in the secondary market prices these days
best review so far. I don't have one as the pre order was not available outside of the US. I hope they reissue this for other countries. Give us a chance to own this
But they hat 400 of them on ebay for foreign countrys. Americans were not allowed to buy them. Anouncement was going about for two months with a countdown for the selling start. They were all gone after 10 minutes. I had mine 10 seconds after the auction started.
Tryed to buy two more with two acounts of friends. But didn't work because they had their ebay paypal connection up to date. My plan was to sell two and keep one for nothing. Price was 400...Shipping 400 again... and taxes. Later afraid it went broken during shipping. Lukily it was ok whit minor damage on the outer box.
I thought they did a pretty close job to the scale of the model. The actual barge was only around 90 feet long, so around maybe 15 action figures in length. Pretty crazy detail. Love the video.
Absolutely fantastic review. The best I’ve seen
Very nice review. I have watched a few others and they have done well, but not gone so far in depth. I kind of regret not getting one when the pre orders were up, but I was struggling a bit financially then. With the crazy prices on the secondary market, I will probably never have one. Just as well though, because I honestly don't have the space to display it properly.
Great review i wish i would’ got it 😩 i realy regreat it i love your videos i appriciate the time and effort you put to all your videos keep up the good work 👍🏻
You have a very detailed review that comes with comparison to the movie's barge as well. I hope you do more vehicle reviews in the future
I think my barge back in the day was done out of my Legos, and I had my mum help me with some red-orange felt fabric for the sunshades. Small notes - good memories. :)
I love it! I wish i had one of these as a young boy, that would have been Surreal.
Great review! Excellent comparisons using the slow motion movie clips. I think it’s a great toy.
Jabbas dais does slide in the movie. It is not directly shown, but it gets closer to the windows in between scenes
Randomly ended up on your video here. Not sure if it’s been suggested but with the Yakface coin- you could probably adjust the coin’s position with a magnet.
Quick tip HERE! If you don't like Jabbas Microphone setup u can simply buy the Replacement Vintage Hookah Pipe (the ones that they found in the California warehouse) and believe it or not it goes right over Jabbas Microphone setup perfectly without having to remove it. The only problem is the clear bowl underneath that would have to be modified. I put it on my Barge and it looks awesome cause I wanted jabba to be smoking his pipe and for my barge to be a little different from others. Hope it helps someone.
I really wanted this vehicle a year ago, but once I started to logistically figure out where I could put it in my house I kind of lost interest. I'm happy it exists, but it's physically too large for a collector item in my home. Plus, with shipping and the fluctuating Canadian dollar, it was just under $800 when I looked at buying one. I hope we see more Haslab items in the future and they figure out a way to keep costs down, especially for international customers.
Agree ! i had the chance to buy it, but too big. i have a lot of fine dioramas, and this one should have take to much space. same if Hasbro would have said :ok we Will make à star destroyer !
it's only available in north America...Hasbro WON'T sell or ship it to anywhere else...retro blasting did a video about Hasbro policy on this issue.
@@hanzohattori2492 not at all....600 were avaiable on ebay sold directly by Hasbro for international customers. it sells in less than 5 minutes
@@jebstuart4004 check out the video on retro blasting.
@@jebstuart4004 I have checked those on eBay an they are not being sold by Hasbro direct...it simply says Hasbro is the brand.
Is there any way to still buy this after the crowd fund is over?
A bit off-topic, but I worked at 5 Below about 5 or so years ago. They had the Star Wars figures with the retro packaging front and center as soon as you entered. These figures sold like hotcakes and I was always amused when someone would spend an hour scouring through the wheelbarrow that housed the figures. I'm not a massive Star Wars fan, but I always enjoy classic action figures, and those re-released ones really did look fantastic.
I wish that I had gotten this at the time, but I was too late for the payment. I see it on eBay for three times the price. Maybe eventually I will own one. It’s amazing.
Finally the video I’ve been waiting for, wish I had one.
I just realised that the barge is more gun metal gray than brown 🤯🤯
Very cool. Lots of detail.
Legend says that the Nikto is still trapped in the floorboards…
God I wish I could go back in time and back this 😂
3d print a cup ?
omg, forgot about this channel, thanks for the upload!
Very nice video. I really enjoyed getting to see all of the details. It would be a cool ship to own; but, as you stated at the end, the price was out of reach for my budget. On e-bay, this piece is selling at a minimum for $1200!
you should take a picture of the interior with all the panels on with a timed camera or something pointing down to the thrown room i think it would look AWESOME to have similar light as the movie for a bad ass picture of the open inside
I just pick this up with all the figures from 2003 that are associated with the bardge! I paid 800 for it all. I also got a bag marked cantina. I think I did pretty well. I ordered some vintage figures to replace the newer ones.
I love jabba the Hutt he's my favorite Star wars character and also like a and rancor his Palace and a cell barge
If this did well, I hope they do a similar scale Jawa Sandcrawler, but my impossible desire is a more accurate to the attraction Star Tours Starspeeder.
I'm not buying anything Star Wars until KATHLEEN KENNEDY is no longer working at Lucusfilm!
I reallylike your reviews, man!
Frankly what's neat about this is that it doubles as a universe-friendly display case that isn't even a cutout, but a full diorama.
Finally got a house big enough to display this beast, currently working on a mural to make this look more realistic. I love it, I agree Jabba could have been painted better.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOUR TOY REVIEWS!!!!!!! :D
If I recall the original Jabba had the clear plastic covering the eye & if you moved your head, the eyes would look as if it would follow you across the room.
okay this thing is actually super cool
This success makes me hope a Unicron could come about in the same way (I could never afford it, but I know many people would love to have a massive Unicron)
I did not know that with the figures. They could have offered that as an additional add-on, individually or the entire group you see pictured on the box. So that the backer could order them if he wanted or needed them. That would have been nice.
Amazing review!
Best sail barge review ever!
Great video, thank you for sharing all the details. You might be able to move the collectors coin to the correct orientation with a magnet.
Nice video. (FYI..you kind of sound like a sleepy Kermit the Frog...No offence.) I received my barge on March 7th and I love it. Is it worth $500? I will admit, it is a bit overpriced, but not so much that I'm not glad that I bought it. (And I plan to make some money back on that carded Yakface figure. I think maybe Hasbro added him to get more people like me to back it, knowing that Yakface could be like a rebate of sorts.) As far as the barge, itself, the only complaint I have is that, for the price, they could have wired in some L.E.D. lights. (I have to get out a flashlight any time I look in this thing.) The design made me wonder how Jabba is supposed to get into it. Maybe the starboard wall of the lounge (behind Jabba) should have been made like an old style garage door, that you could swing up, when he enters or exits.
@Chris R ..None taken. :)
The first time when i heard they make this thing i i thought i know one guy who will buy tis for sure :)
More on the full size 3d printed jaba!
I hope they use that same jabba when they make a new jabbas throne set, with the vintage box
Jabba's eyes are the same red just has a little yellow sun bursts in them. The barge jabba is the best.
Ithorian skeleton is really cool detail!
Great review very detailed and informative 👍🏾
Image that under the Xmas tree well I'm going to have to at that price epic toy
wow i wish i hade that to my collection!
I think they should have made it full size, I think it's a drawback. About 10 % to 15% too small, the characters can't walk around the sail masts and hatches. Just charge me more or reduce the complexity of the sails which you have to remove to play with figures on the deck or the detail in the cockpit.
It's 10% to 15% too small! You can't walk around the sail mast and the hatches on the deck! The Vintage Collection Jabba is a more accurate size and better paint application then the undersized/underwhelming one provided. Add another $100 and make it full-size is MY main complaint, second is making me want to smoke by including Joe Camel.
So my question is if this would have cost 5 k you would have bought it because you're a jabba fan ??
Fabio Skywalker No there are limits. I have passed on some things in the past because they were too expensive.
I think the sliding throne was to allow for using either Jabba
Could you do a review of all of the skiffs now that we have a new one to go with the barge?
Lucky Lol since I dedicated my life to my girlfriend and music I don't have the money for my jabba collection
@@dansweet2499 Congrats man! Follow your passions!
Hate to say it...but i wish china would knock these and many other vintage collection items off...theyre so prohibitively expensive thats its hard for most guys to buy them at all when new, but now that they are out of production these are now 2200+ online
Excellent review. Thanks for sharing!
Been a while since I've had a detailed look, but I'm reasonably sure the details at the fore of the interior (cockpit, jail cell and galley) are pulled from the ICS book. Admittedly things are moved around some, but it's some pretty nice inclusion!
There certainly are some similarities now that I look at it
Had I ordered...My 1983 Jabba would be the only Jabba going in that baby....
Woooow! This is surely the big woop of Star wars toys. I am very happy with my vintage Kenner Skiff, and have sometimes longed for the smaller skiffs to make a nice collection, but this one.... I would love to see the Khetanna displayed with one or two skiffs outside and maybe even the smaller skiffs as a fun thematic scenen. Are there any Sarlacc toys out there to include? =)
Only thing that would have been a nice addition is some kind of escape pods or life-boat skiffs that characters lite Bib Fortuna and such, that is supposed to have escaped the explosion, could have used =)
Most all of those figures are coming out this year in Q4, as part of the Black Series collection.
