    Thanks...
    I´m working on a misb megatron and thrust at the moment. I hope that deal works out, that would mean that I´m well on my way of finishing ´84 and ´85.

    Here's a tip, stop while you're ahead. When you buy 1, you're done for.

    It all starts with G1 reissues, next thing you know ... you're buying movie themed party plates for an event you're not having.

    Not unused but looks in pretty good condition. The guy'll only post to the UK but if you want I can buy it and you can reimburse me :)

    I want to protect my tf´s... What do you guys think of those AFA cases? I don´t really need a third party to grade my figures, but those cases are pretty nice imo.
    It seems to me that they will protect your boxes against scratches or dings, or does anyone have a better suggestion?

    Yeah, the cases seem pretty good. I think with the amount you're spending already, you'd need to rob Fort Knox to be able to grade 'em all, but protecting them is definitely a good idea.

    And as a side point - with the amount you're getting - your insurance cover it? Like if your house caught fire...
