UPDATE:  Star Wars The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Book

The Star Wars Vintage Collection Archive Edition book Kickstarter campaign has just passed the $125,000 stretch goal. This is amazing. It represents 2.5 times the minimum funding requirement and there's still 26 days to go! This also puts some lofty stretch goals in sight, and the next one is frankly amazing. Rich from the campaign passed on the following:

At $150,000 all book backers will receive a recreation of the reverse-side of Kenner's 1984 Star Wars is Forever mail-away poster using Hasbro's The Vintage Collection action figures and vehicles. The poster will be arranged and photographed by its original creator, Kim Simmons. Kim was the principal Star Wars photographer for Kenner between 1981 - 2000 and if you own any classic Kenner items, it's a sure bet his photography is featured on it. Incredibly, Kim has confirmed he still has some of the original elements he used in the 1984 poster and they'll be included in his TVC recreation! The 18x22-inch poster comes folded in a mailer envelope, like the original.

Attached is the photograph Kim took that was used to create the poster (see below).

Additionally, if you've been following the campaign, you'll see that there has been a "to be announced" $175,000 stretch goal. Well, it has been announced:

Oh and one more thing... For those of you wondering about our $175,000 stretch goal, did you get the clue from its title (Sorry About the Mess )? We are thrilled to announce that all backers will receive a three (3) coin set featuring the Slave I, Jabba the Hutt and Jabba's Sail Barge. Not only do these coins tell the story of Han Solo's journey from The Empire Strikes Back to Return of the Jedi, but the Slave I, Jabba and Jabba's Barge have never had their own coins in either Kenner's POTF or Hasbro's 30th Anniversary lines. They'll fit in perfectly with your existing coin collection. We'll have more details and coin designs in a future update.
