    Default AFA Gradings.

    1) Is there anywhere in Australia we can get this (or something similar) done?

    2) Do any of our esteemed members own any AFA graded Tfs?

    Just really curious at the moment.
    I do have one or two of my own figs I wouldn't mind seeing get the treatment though.

    Yes, you can submit them to AFA if you're an Australian. Its slightly more expensive for the shipping, but well worth it for vintage G1 toys.

    Perhaps someone could explain this a bit more, some of us newbs are unfamiliar with this grading and its purpose. Or if there is another post on this you could direct us too it?

    In most cases it's an excellent way to artificially inflate the value of a toy and waste some money on an overpriced plastic case. They're not exactly reliable either, as there are reports of KO's being AFA'd as originals - although I believe that hasn't happened in a long time.

    Once it is AFA graded, does that mean the toy is in a plastic case? CAn it be removed from the case once in there?

    It probably could but that kinda defeats the purpose of it... (You might handle it & that could knock it down from a 9.5 to a 9 )

    You can now get a box with a removable bottom..
    But yeah, does defeat the point.
