    I received 3 figures in the post from AFA today & I'm pretty happy with the triple changers with 80 & 85 gradings with all sub grades of 90. Ironhide got a rough grade of 80,I thought he'd get an 85 for sure but he looks awesome anyway! :)

    Then you haven't seen Jonnyshaft's or Da Last to walk's collections yet!? They put me to shame! :bowdown: 

    For me here in Aus the freight is dearer than the grading cost. I've just sent a Ratchet & Hound off for grading,they cost about $75 each plus freight which is $120 there & back. I send 2 or 3 at once to save a bit that way. Some graded figures are way too dear for me so I just hunt around for really mint boxed figures & have them graded which is half or a third of ebay prices. I've had 6 graded the rest of bought already graded.

    Thanks guys! I've taken your advice Jonnyshaft & although I really struggle to find AFA figures for a sensible price I seem to come across great misb figures then have them graded. What ever works I guess :)  Don't forget to keep your eye out for a 85 pre rub Sunstreaker!

    Time for an update! Picked up a cracker of a US Megs,looks like an 85 but the flap crease caused the 80 grade. Also a really nice rub Prowl, Hound & Ratchet all AFA 80's. Just Sunstreaker to go! :D 
    I've also updated the group shot with the new additions.

    A couple of late Chrisy presents turned up today. An AFA 80 Skywarp sealed with no flap crease I've been chasing...finally!! & a 85 Laserbeak/Frenzy. I'm really happy with this one,looks mint for a carded figure. I wasn't going to do carded figures but the Decepticon tapes I will at 85. Hopefully a 85 Ravage/rumble will pop up one day :rolleyes:

    Just Awesome, When I think back to the 80's it makes me wish that I bought two of every G1 figure back then so I could have one to play with and one for display. Hindsite is always 20/20
