This! Looks absolutely superb. Stunning packaging really tops it off 8)

Sure I've read they're going to do UK/Euro as a phase 2. Not something I'd want to own myself, but interesting to see the new way of working unfold for them as a business.
Massively risk adverse and profit protecting, while convincing folk they're getting something special/exclusive at the same time.
Clever marketing/business model all round

Clever indeed, if it were to nose dive the cost to Hasbro would be minimal.SAVORY100 said:
Sadly here's a link to an article suggesting that we won't be getting it, although it is very much 3rd hand information.

Well the end product looks fantastic that much I will say...
But I'm still angry that Hasbro & Steve Evan's especially (I know he's moved on,But with his history and being british) Can come up with a very clever initiative, And not include all global collector's. Or at the very least be more open about why not.
I hope anybody that did manage to get one,Gets it in perfect condition & without issue...

I really cannot wait for this bad boy and have a space reserved in the man cave already for it altho' with all the stuff ive bought pre xmas, and having to wait to put the decorations back in the walls in the loft so i can display new stuff, i dont know if there will be said room now. Anyways, who cares, aslong as it comes minty mint, which it should as a friend is sending me it over, i dont care, it looks amazing.

Will be great to see mate when you get it. Whats the eta?
As per the article here http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Hasbro_HasLab_Update_182744.asp, apparently Hasbro are planning to go with a box design which opens by pulling tabs. It isn't entirely clear, however it sounds like it might mean it can be opened and closed again seamlessly. Here's the quote:
"We're also deep into interior and exterior packaging development. We are constructing and testing our interior packout, so the barge is easy to access and also protected for when it is shipped to you. We're implementing a new way to open the box using tabs instead of glued and taped edges. This allows easier access to the barge. Instead of sliding it out of a traditional box, you "unwrap" the barge, revealing the accessory tray, polystyrene protected hull, Jabba Figure, and the exclusive Yak Face on Power of the Force cardback with collectable coin!"
Regardless of whether the box actually can be opened and closed again seamlessly however, I will be opening my Khetanna and displaying it, so even if no-one else does, I will post pictures of mine here on SWFUK.

It's exclusive to the Khetanna in POTF packaging, complete with coin and with the name 'Yak Face' on the card. However, the exact same figure, minus the coin, will also be available in ROJ packaging with the name 'Saelt Marae' (see below).

And news straight from Rebelscum (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/fron...ntage_Collection_Jabbas_Sail_Barge_182949.asp), Hasbro have released a some more promotional images of the final production version of The Khetanna:
Not long to wait now!

Here's a good size comparison pic showing just how massive the Khetanna is. The Falcon is the BMF version, and it's enormous! :-D
