Today on Facebook...

Anakins price hasn't budged in years. And rightly so, it's a **** figure.

 

[steve obi wan]

Yep definitely another **** figure , at that stage Kenner didn't give a toss !! :evil: :lol:

Today somebody in one of the groups "discovered" that trilogo Luke Stormtroopers sometimes come with blue/black blasters! Obviously nobody else has ever noticed that. Unfortunately Facebook only shows you what happened two hours ago, so it's like Groundhog day on there.

Some also have small bubbles and were distributed by Meccano as well Edd, perhaps you should read Joes website?...........that will unfortunately require you to navigate away from FB though :wink:

Nail on head

What happened 2 hours ago :lol: :lol: :shock: :lol:

That is a fair point. Although you could have just gone to eBay, or here, and pick one up for a tenner

But that would require work and knowledge and wouldn't include putting up a poorly written WTB ad in the group.

In other news even Anakins are bucking the trend even on Facebook they are going for £14. I nearly made my first Facebook purchase but how many Anakins do you really need?

Although Trilogos now seem to be considered a £100 card? I would baulk at going over £50

Yeah, I had noticed that. Saw one go for £75 and the general concensus was that it was underpriced. I was gobsmacked and nearly posted that £75 was way too much. THAT SAID have a look at eBay. In fairness, you will be pushed to find one as good as the £75 for less than £130. I think in this case we're simply behind the market curve in thinking it's a £50 figure. I know I paid about that 14 or 15 months ago and you could have taken your pick for £50 then.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the majority of the daft behaviour that goes on in the hobby but it's easy to lose track of what happens in this insane market.

Must be, I got one AND a Trilogo Emperor shipped using the GSP from the states for a shade over £70 including the postage

What's the deal here??? How was this 'discovery' made?

Had a close look at the blaster I'd guess. You can tell through the bubble in the right light

 

[Dannywhiteley]

I have a Trilogo luke storm with a blue blaster and went through all this with them 12 months ago.

 

[edd_jedi]

"Mystery solved!" :lol:

 

[Dannywhiteley]

I was told by JP Ragusa that I was wrong. That the blue/black blaster on trilogo card is only ever an error.

 

[edd_jedi]

I and many others think it's somewhere in the middle, a deliberate error. Luke is clearly supposed to come with the black one, because every Kenner one has a black blaster. There are far too many trilogos with blue/black for it to be an accident, so it's probably a calculated decision like Luke Farmboy with Bespin sabre which is also abundant.

An error? They didn't get that anal about blasters!

"No Dorris, stop - you're putting that blaster from imperial stormtrooper with Luke stormtrooper FFS - its your last warning! In years time nerds will argue this on the internet (i dont know what that is either) so we have to be right. Ok Dorris?"

100% this in my opinion - I have had 7 or 8 of the pass through my hands and all had Blue/Black Blasters

 

[Dannywhiteley]

Me too. Seen far, far more trilogos with blue black than pure black.

 

[wrighty]

That's the type of crap you have to put up with in FB. Typical troller being an ass!!

 

[steve obi wan]

FFS! :shock:
