3908 Barges are backed. 7 days left. 1092 to go.
The Sail Barge campaign is definitely piquing interests from long-time collectors whose interest in the hobby has lapsed, and even from those outside the hardcore collector community. The problem is that the nature of the platform, and the messaging through fan sites, has been confusing for those first time or lapsed collectors. Click through for answers to some of the most frequently asked questions Bantha Skull has received (and is still receiving). You can share this with your friends who may still have questions.

I’ve been called many things, but one label that seems to have stuck is that of the Worst Collector in the World. The evaluation apparently stems from my refusal to mindlessly buy things I don’t really want. Click through to learn about a thing I don’t really want that I’m buying anyway and why you should too.

There’s no better way to wash away the stink of “Coby and the Starhunters” than jumping ahead to “The Great Heep”. Though this double-length special episode originally ran 6 months after the series ended, it fits chronologically between episodes 9 and 10 of the original run.

The return of the Vintage Collection is upon us. The Khetanna campaign has inspired us to take a look back at the 115+ carded figures that already exist. The purpose is to take a closer look at these figures to see if they have aged well, and then recommend what Hasbro should do going forward with each one.
