Luke stormtrooper correct blaster - yep that ol chestnut

[Clarkspie&chips]

Seasons greetings,
Having recently aquired a trilogo luke stormie which has not been packaged with a black blaster, I wanted to try to get to the bottom of this question that gets asked fairly frequently. In a recent thread I think 2 other collectors noted their tri luke stormies also didn't have a black blaster.

The only known figures that came with black blasters were a couple from the droids line (which we don't think was released in Europe) and the potf luke stormie.

So my hunch is the black imperial rifles that are currently associated with this figure weren't actually released here at all and the regular blue/black blaster is correct for a euro luke stormie.

With the Christmas break here and people possibly travelling to their parents homes where their childhood collections will be, I'd love to hear if anyone can confirm my hunch or otherwise.

Trilogo moc lukes can be seen with blue/black blasters.

potf moc lukes came with black blasters with a dot on

Ignore the 'dot' it's just a flaw in one of the limbs of the mould tree, you will find the same black blaster with very slight imperfection differences. Tri luke stomies came with black blaster ( and in some cases black/blue) POTF or trilogo it is ALWAYS the same mould type.

BLACK blaster:

Cheers James that clears that up then.
