    Nice.

    Pretty sure it's the box...just like Jon's Reflector...which got a 90 if I remember correctly. The appeal is to keep it sealed, so I believe they're grading strictly on the condition of the box.

    $13.97

    I wish it cost me that much to buy.

    I believe he said it was MISB, Jon, so I'm assuming it's sealed.

    Picking up the 85 Hardhead prompted me to start looking for some of the sealed Masters I've been wanting. Picked up an 80 Brainstorm as well as an ungraded Skullcruncher. I'm happy to have Brainstorm because he's one of the few g1s I've never managed to own boxed. Very happy with Skullcruncher as well as he is my favorite Decepticon Headmaster. Special thanks to Kevin for helping me track this one down.

    Skullcruncher...I'm still waiting for the day I can track him down in 85 form :)  One I still have from my childhood.

    I think this one may be an 80, which I'm happy with. Thankfully I don't have to have an 85. Although an 85 Skullcruncher would look pretty sweet next to the 85 Hardhead:)

    If anyone is interested, I have a MISB Doubledealer up for sale. I'd say it's in 80ish condition. I'm willing to let it go for $425 shipped (priority/express shipping). Otherwise, it's being shipped off to the AFA tomorrow. Yes, you heard right. I'm giving them (AFA) one more chance. As backwards as it sounds, I prefer not to send my really nice tape-cut figures in to be graded. I don't want anyone screwing with the box/contents and possibly damaging it. I actually feel more comfortable sending in MISB pieces, and they do a nice job of casing them, so Doubledealer is ready to go if no one wants it ungraded. More pics are available upon request. Thanks.

    I came in here looking for Jon, didn't expect to find that an incident had occurred and now he's gone. Was hoping to get his opinion on a G1 AFA90 Megatron (red label) that I've come across.

    If anybody has any information on piece 12959116 please PM me. The price is tempting (still 5 figures) but not as ridiculous as I was expecting for something as rare as AFA90.

    Thanks!

    Hey Clint-- a VERY reliable source just notified me that a reliable Chinese guy sent him that serial number to be on the lookout for, its the fake 90. Same serial number as the one being offered to him in China.
