A month and a half ago, Hasbro said “if enough people – 5000 – sign on to our crowdfunding effort, we’ll make a ginormous high-end ‘Jabba’s Sail Barge’ toy for $500 a pop.” It seemed like a bit of a long shot.
They’ve exceeded that number, and have announced that they’re going ahead.
They are currently sitting at 5687 funders out of 5000, each at $499.99 plus tax. It’s not clear that Hasbro will actually manufacture this beyond the requirements of the crowdfunders, so if you want one, you only have a few days left (they stop taking funders on April 3).
With luck this will give rise to a proper Falcon. I shudder to guess what *that* would cost…
