So here is the one i kept, and i flipping love it. Never in a million years did i think that i'd ever own a carded Yak, especially when i had to sell so much of my beloved collection last year to enable me to buy m first house! I'm delighted

Congrats Jez, that is just awesome mate

Jez, I did listen to the podcast, and I'm happy for both you and Richard for getting them. They are both in awesome shape. The story of how you came by them was fantastic.
I have a question? Is it true that all the Trilogo Yak's didn't come with weapons, or just some of them?

Thanks lads, i've not heard of a single Tri Logo Yak which came with a weapon.

I wasn't sure if it was all of them.   I wonder where all the loose collectors are getting all the Nikto staffs, to go along with all the loose Yak's.

Blooming Tri Logos. When i started re-collecting loose figures and i bought an eBay A-Wing Pilot, i asked the guy why it didn't have a black endor blaster and his reply was 'it's a Tri Logo A-Wing Pilot'
Flipping end of the line, issues!

Edited because when I just revisited this thread I realised that my iphone had auto corrected Endor to endorsement! Who wants an Endorsement Blaster?

Love that tri logo Jez... awesome condition

Great to see that pic! Very interesting, I was under the impression that no tri-logo Yaks had the staff, I thought it was only POTF that did.

some trilogo yak faces came with a bespin blaster! but normally they came with no weapon

Nicely done Bill.

If you listen to the latest Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast: 'Chive Cast. Skye has an interesting theory about Top Toy figures.

thanks guys , funny ive never listened to a podcast in my life . im not the most tech savvy person around and well basically my wife says I live in my own little world . heck iwouldnt even have had a cell phone but was forced into it by an ex girlfriend
many years ago . id live off the grid if I could but I don't have the talent that takes . my wife would not be happy either oh well technology it is

Lol imagine if we learn that Skye was right due to closer inspections as a result of his claim

Picked up this beater Kea at TFCon just down the road from me today.

Too bad the head plastic is that dark hair colour, kinda makes the paint rubs on her face a bit of a horror show lol

At least the gun is fairly common. (Same as squidhead.... unless there is some subtle difference I don't know about... which I'll check TIG for right now..)
