Yak me!

Wow that is an awesome display there Pete they look just great on display mate
They all look mint too! Crazy to think that in the current market on eBay you would be nudging £2ks worth of yaks there
The best army I have ever seen dude- Great work and thanks for sharing!!!

Ps. We all know you won't stop at 20!!! I'm looking forward to watching them mulitply mate!

Very impressive, great display.

 

[Joe]

Doing good Pete, whats the aim? 100?

 

[PGowdy]

The plan was 20 so just 1 more... maybe.

 

[tigerham]

Just 1 more. How many times have I heard that from people including myself! :lol: Nice going Pete.

Sweet looking Yak army, last time I checked this thread you only had 5
I should check limelight more often as usually only check in vintage and off topic.

Hi Pete, that Yak Face collection you have is so cool :wink:

I think it is amazing to see so many at the same time.

I think I will lay down a bit, I am still in :shock: :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks.
I actually have a few more now. Will have to do an updated picture. :wink:

 

[ewok13]

That is just incredible :shock: , love the display!

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks. I must get a new picture done with the new arrivals.

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi Pete, so when do we see some new updates from your Yak Face collection or should I say the biggest Yak Face collection in the world :mrgreen:

 

[PGowdy]

Well the latest picture is on page 1- 22 Yaks. There has been no new addition in about a year now.
When i was building this army you were still able to pick up Yaks on the cheap. It wasn't easy but while others were paying £60+ for theirs i was still snagging them for £45-50. In the early days of collecting these i picked some up for as low as £15 and even one in a lot of figures i snapped up on ebay. (the lot was about £50 and included about 20 figures and an x-wing) After selling what i didn't want in the lot i had more than made back my money and still had a Yak, a Fett and 3 Stormtroopers left. So that one was effectively free. 8)
That was all part of the fun for me and out of the 22 Yaks i have i'm always proud to say i never spent over £60 on one and almost all of them were significantly under that. 8)

I'd love to add to this but Yak faces now don't go for much under £70 and usually way higher £90-£100-£120 and it's just not as justifiable to spend that on a relatively common plastic action figure.
I may add to it again one day but for now it stays as it is. 8)

Maybe they are so expensive today because you have bought so many of them :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just kidding, it is a great collection and I hope you find some more to a good price :wink:

Nice focus, give it a few years and you'll be able to retire on that little stash!
