    Get that badboy sealed!!

    Some beautiful stuff here. I don't have the display space to do items like this justice (and funds might problem, too!) but it's great to see these items as they would have appeared on shelves. I'd love to see an AFA Slugslinger, pretender bumblebee or powermaster prime, as these are toys I vividly remember getting for christmas.

    As for that wheeljack, one suspects time machines may be involved!

    I love this thread. I would want to collect AFA but the prices that some commend is throwing me off. Why I keep myself to MIB minty stuff. Next best thing ;)  and I am almost done with my collection.

    The only thing I have is a G1 MIB minty prime in a AFa case. Sure not AFA graded but Ill post anyway ;)

    Awesome thread. That is a nice Optimus Easterling Capt. - Sliding bottom cases are great for keeping things nice and fresh and you can always pull em out and check them out whenever you feel like it - best of both worlds.

    From my understanding, Lt. Faceless is right, someone who pays more for the membership can (and will) jump ahead of him in the grading process. Unfortunately it is not first come, first serve.

    This is a fun one. The Action Masters were 85's while the Race Car Patrol was a 70. The other two were 75's. Prior to doing this, I had never seen Action Masters graded before, lol.
