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
the only one i know that was from Ozformers had left... bye jgon :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....Quote:

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?
Whoops, only one Jazz. Should be a Prowl in the picture.
Awesome, nice work zippo!
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.Quote:

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:

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:Quote:

I have AFA Graded Bludgeon (G1), a few AFA G1 Insecticons, andQuote:

sans boxes. They actually display pretty darn awesome.
Nice Bludgeon would look really good, the population report only says there 9 out there! :eek: Any chance of a photo?Quote:
