Read THIS YAKFACE RUMOR REPORT.  While they are labeling this as a rumor, their "rumors" have been pretty spot-on in terms of accuracy.

The short version?  3 x Vintage Collection vehicles for 2019.  2 of them are from the OT, and 1 is reportedly from Episode IX.

*NOTE:  A previous rumor report indicates that the 2 x OT vehicles may be a reissue of the Tatooine Skiff (coordinated with the release / delivery of the Sail Barge) and an X-Wing fighter

Some online retailers are now fulfilling preorders for the TVC Imperial Combat Assault Tank.  So if you ordered this, check your email for tracking information.

[Nicklab]

Pre-orders are now up for the Imperial Combat Assault Tank at multiple online retail outlets.  It is expected that this will be released on August 1st at a retail price of $79.99.

[Nicklab]

The official tally from https://www.hasbrolab.com/ is in, and 8810 backers have ordered the Sail Barge Khetanna! 

Impressive.

Most impressive!

[Nicklab]

The tally currently stands at over 5700.  The Sail Barge Khetanna is going into production!  If you have not ordered one and you're still on the fence about it, you've got until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, April 3rd to place an order.

[Nicklab]

The tally as of 1:00 pm ET is 4855.  The sail barge just needs a little less than another 150 backers to go into production.  And it looks like it may hit the 5000 backer goal within the next couple of hours.

There are also rumors that Hasbro could add another sweetener to the campaign for backers who got in under the 5000 backer threshold.  But these are *RUMORS* only at this time.

The current number of Sail Barge backers:  4604

As of 11 AM ET on March 22nd, there are 3181 backers for the Sail Barge.  In order for the Sail Barge to go into production Hasbro will need another 1819 people to place orders.  The pace of orders has picked up since an etailer called Dark Side Toys agreed to take on orders on behalf of collectors in Europe.  Can we get the rest of the way?  We'll see...
