The case is about 15X bigger that the toy itself, so are you paying for the small toy or the very large case it's in?

Ha! AFA will grade absolutely anything these days. I wouldn't be surprised if they sent your tech specs back in a massive acryllic case as well :pQuote:

What's most ridiculous is that it has a loose grade of U90, which means that someone sent AFA a MISB Twin Twist, then AFA took it out of its packaging just to put it straight into their plastic packaging. :rolleyes:Quote:

Also what are AFA's qualifications when it comes to grading toys? If such an expensive service cannot tell the difference between a G1 Bumblebee and a Clifjumper figure then how can I trust them to produce the right grading?
