On Wednesday, Hasbro dropped the game changing news that the Sail Barge will include a Vintage Collection Yak Face on an exclusive POTF ‘85 replica bi-lingual card. We immediately had a pretty good idea of how much that figure would fetch on the secondary market. Thanks to the Q&A conducted on Thursday, we feel like we can zero in on that value even more…
Do you remember the bubblegate fiasco from Phase I of the Black Series (and other lines of the time)? It was a vexing time. Unfortunately a new report from our friends at Jedi Temple Archives is troubling. Hit the jump for the details.

Dengar gallery and review>>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.
We had the honor of participating in a video teleconference with Hasbro that served as as demo and Q&A session for the HasLab Vintage Collection Sail Barge. We were joined be fellow fan sites Jedi Temple Archives and Star Wars Action News. Please click through for the treasure trove of information.
It’s sad news enough that Toys R Us seems to be disappearing, but on the heals of the liquidation news, today we learned the founder and former CEO Charles Lazarus has died.
We received invaluable information. I can tell you this right now. If you can budget the expense and are at all interested in the Sail Barge, you’re a fool if you don’t #backthebarge.

Thank you to Paul Harrison at Jedi Temple Archives for this alert. In addition to a painted prototype, Entertainment Weekly revealed that AN EXCLUSIVE BI-LINGUAL POTF ‘85 CARDED YAK FACE WILL COME WITH THE HASLAB SAIL BARGE.
YOU WILL ABLE TO SELL THIS FIGURE FOR AT LEAST HALF THE COST OF THE SAIL BARGE IF YOU DON’T INTEND TO KEEP IT.
THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE RAREST CARDED STAR WARS FIGURES IN HISTORY.
This news is so unbelievable, not just because THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE SUGGESTED EARLIER, that we were slow to post. But it’s 100% official. Click through for the full sized image.
