Sail Barge Update from NYTF 2019

At New York Toy Fair, Hasbro brought with them an actual final production piece of the Khetanna Sail Barge. As far as we know, this is the first time the final version has been shown. Here are a few points of interest that came out of the presentation today:

1. The Sail Barges have been produced! They are in the final stretch of the process, and are being packed and prepared for shipping.
2. It was previously announced that the Barges would ship by the end of February. There has been a very small delay of about 5 days, and Hasbro states they will be ready to ship out all the backed barges by March 4th.
3. The included carded POTF Yak Face figure will include a glass accessory which is exclusive to this set.
4. The set will ship via FedEx to backers in the US and Canada.
5. Tracking numbers will be provided via email to recipients.
6. Recipients must be present to sign for the package from FedEx.

Additionally, in case you missed the big news, the Barge will be made available outside the U.S.:

1. Hasbro announced a list of countries that will be eligible to purchase.
2. The conduit for international sales will be Ebay. There will be a special url provided by Hasbro to get directly to the Ebay Barge sale page in advance of it going live.
3. We were told the total production run is approximately 10,000 units. There were 8800+ barges backed during the HasLab campaign. The math leads us to feel that the international supply will be rather tight, but certainly better than nothing!

Enjoy this video of the final product. Only a few weeks away!

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me now
