your thoughts on AFA ratings?

so far all the G1 stuff i've gotten hasn't been afa'd, but i am looking at grabbing a few of their cases to protect my precious lil babies.

Keep an eye on my sales thread

I have no appreciation of sealed items myself with AFA graded sealed boxes, In general I like to take my TF's out and display them. Seems like a complete waste of time having a Transformer that you don't get to transform.

Action Masters? hehe do decoys count as transformers?

I don't think it is but having it not being vacuum sealed defeats this whole 'historical preservation' argument and makes the box just an artificially expensive gimmick.

Anything can be regarded as an expensive gimmick, to me an ipad is an expensive gimmick! They are not going to last I tell ya!

That said if there was a non-AFA option locally to do the same thing for less, I'd take it in a heartbeat with how much of a killer the shipping back and forth is.

I have sent maybe 30+ figures for grading to AFA in the US - it is alot cheaper to find a nice MISB item and get it graded than pay the buy now prices on ebay.
