[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 504188, member: 8868"] I agree, guys. It's not easy looking back and trying to figure out what was intended. We can only largely go off of circumstantial evidence. There will most likely be vital info that will never be uncovered. But my hopes here is to look at what evidence we can. Although the remaining MOCs are but a sample of what was manufactured we are lucky, in that unlike many toy lines, we do have a vast amount still knocking around which at least gives us an idea. In this particular instance the evidence so far seems to point towards more than a random miscarding or a 50/50 pick whatever was in the pile. And although as with much of the Trilogo line there are plenty of miscard "errors" to be found I still believe as a rule of thumb there was an intended accessory for every given figure. The fact that so few loose solid black blasters are found in the wild considering how prolific a figure we are talking about seems a little odd to say the least. Over the years I have found many more black palace blasters then black smuggler blasters in the UK, and that's a rare enough accessory in itself. Again all this is based on my own personal experience, I may well be wrong. But what I'd love to do is see if perhaps there was an intention for Palitoy packaged Hans to have the blue black. There have been many accepted ideas about the minutia of collecting that have been disproven or proven over the years by challenging the status quo. I guess in the same sense that I think for grading companies to refuse to grade a Luke Stormtrooper unless he has a black blaster based on the notion that he was "supposed" to come with that variant, because all Kenner packaged figs came like that, it my well be the case that in the European market that was not the intention. Maybe the black blasters only became available very late in the Trilogo packaging runs. If that were the case it would seem close minded of them to state incorrect accessory if almost all of the European market was not supplied with that particular accessory. Was Yak Face "supposed" to come with the staff? Well that depends on weather you bought yours in Canada or Europe. :wink: [/QUOTE]
