Roughly 22 to 1. That's how unevenly the biggest Star Wars vehicle Hasbro ever made got shared out.

The Ask

In 2018, Hasbro's HasLab crowdfunded Jabba's Sail Barge for the 3.75-inch Vintage Collection line — the biggest Star Wars vehicle Hasbro has ever made. It was a landmark. It was also only offered in the US and Canada, before HasLab had worked out how to reach the rest of the world. Today the only way to get one is the aftermarket, at several times the original price.

We're asking Hasbro to reopen the Sail Barge tooling as a made-to-order pre-order on Hasbro Pulse — no unit limit, so everyone who orders in the window gets one — as a paint variant on the original mould, offered with the same international reach every HasLab since the barge has had.

That's it. Not a demand — an ask. And one designed so that everybody wins.

Why It's Fair

The 2018 campaign closed at 8,810 units, US and Canada only. The rest of the world got one official route: 400 units sold through Hasbro's eBay store in March 2019, gone in around twelve minutes. Since then, HasLab's international access has widened with every campaign. The barge came before all of that. Fans outside North America never got the fair retail shot that later campaigns made normal.

Timeline showing international access to Star Wars HasLab widening from 2018 to 2025: 2018 Sail Barge US and Canada only; 2020 Razor Crest via Zavvi in the UK and EU; 2023 the Ghost on Pulse UK/EU; 2024 Cantina and 2025 Gunship on Pulse plus partners.
Every HasLab since the barge got an international route. The barge itself never did.

A made-to-order window fixes it at almost no risk to Hasbro: no funding threshold to miss, no warehouse gamble — they simply build what's ordered. And Hasbro has done this before, re-releasing a HasLab vehicle as a more accessible variant. There's a working precedent.

What About the 2018 Backers?

The people who backed the barge in 2018 made it exist. They took the risk, and nothing here should take anything from them. That's why the ask is for a paint variant, not a straight copy — the original run stays the original run.

Comic collectors will recognise the idea: publishers reprint landmark issues as facsimile editions, and the originals remain the originals — access and scarcity live side by side. Thirty years of toy reissues tell the same story. And to be clear about money: this wouldn't be cheap. A reissued barge would be serious HasLab money, priced like the recent campaigns. The ask isn't a bargain barge — it's a fair chance to pay full price.

Get Involved

The whole campaign rests on one thing: a clean count of how many people would actually order one. If that's you, cast a vote — it's the single most useful thing you can do.
