AFA Collectors

[Skullcruncher]

Hi, just wondering if anyone in Australia collects or has any AFA transformers? I can't imagine theres too many AFA's in Australia. I dont ever recall seeing one on ebay au - apart from THAT sludge.......

This is not the thread to discuss pro's/cons of keeping toys sealed. Please move along now :D

Hmmm... from memory, the only member of this board who has an AFA graded toy is SOUNDBLASTER - Reissue Hot Rodimus.

I have a MOSC G1 Scrapper in an AFA case. Does that count :p

That's right I remember you had the sliding bottom case - my jet case has ramjet and my car case prowl. I had a couple more but they got passed on a while ago now....

Wow! :eek: Zippo those are nice! especially the Diaclones.
But why do you have two Jazz-es? You should donate one to a poor student... like me :D get more space in your collection, right?

[Zippo]

Whoops, only one Jazz. Should be a Prowl in the picture.

[Skullcruncher]

Awesome, nice work zippo!

[5FDP]

Very nice Zippo. Ever thought of getting your MOSC Classic Aerialbots AFA'd?

If I dont get them already AFA'ed, then im not going to bother.
I think I could be a little to anal about it and demand all 80s or 85s for everything

That's not some. :eek:

I love the Joustra Diaclones, Zippo - it's my favourite type of Transformers packaging ever.

In terms of AFA in general, I disapprove of making toys even more inaccessible than leaving them in boxes, and think that anyone who pays any more for them on eBay than the usual MISB rates + grading + postage is utterly loony. That said, due to odd happenstance, I have this one:

Nice, have a good look at the stickers on Prowls doors, ive seen a cupple that where the blue police shield is, it says diaclone.

what I was thinking too. heh. :D

Ooo great thread. Although I love the excitement of receiving and opening newly arrived (loose) G1's, the feeling of sifting through layers of foam peanuts and holding a super mint AFA graded encased vintage figure is incomparable :D

If you don't own an AFA stamped figure yet, I highly recommend having at least one in your collection. Maybe even an AFA of your all time fav character?

Eew, no way! I share Sky Shadow's sentiment about AFA toys:

In terms of AFA in general, I disapprove of making toys even more inaccessible than leaving them in boxes, and think that anyone who pays any more for them on eBay than the usual MISB rates + grading + postage is utterly loony.

If I coincidentally came across an AFA figure, unless it's a multiple I'd probably crack it open.


Maybe even an AFA of your all time fav character?
Only if it were a multiple... but I wouldn't pay for it. The money I'd spend on getting an AFA toy I'd rather spend on getting other toys to open up and play with. :) :cool:

But hey... if I had a loose Time Warrior, and someone gave me an AFA Time Warrior; sure, under those conditions I'd keep the AFA one sealed. :D Any volunteers? :p

I have AFA Graded Bludgeon (G1), a few AFA G1 Insecticons, and
I was considering getting AFA grading (loose) on a few of my better G1 toys
sans boxes. They actually display pretty darn awesome.

Colours look really good on that - Is that a U before the 90? I think that indicates it was Uncirculated. What a bargin. If you ever decide to sell you'll have a few interested people here!

The Insecticlones were limited e-Hobby online exclusives and never released in stores.
