    I think it is for one with a clear bubble. Especially if you contact Morgan off Ebay I'm sure you'd get a much better price

    I agree with Cordy. A very fair price for a Snapdragon with a clear bubble. I hesitated to get it myself, but I am staying away from starting collecting Headmasters ;)

    Here is an AFA 70Q. It's the only gift set I own that is graded and it is something that I always wanted as a kid.

    My buddy Maz has been gracious enough to allow me to share my collection in his "collectors interview". So, I've started taking a few pictures for the article :)

    Damn! Seeing a collection like yours really makes me want to spend a lot of money, so I can catch up to you.

    So want the Takara Dinobots, that's so strange the missiles moved with them being in polystyrene, but I guess over 30 years he has moved around loads.

    Hey guys had a quick question. Sorry it's not specifically AFA but I'm looking to get a g1 computron set. A guy offered me one for $180. Everything is 100% complete, including the used sticker sheets. Scattershot has his box and all other techno bots have their cardbacks and bubbles. Everything looks at least c7. Seems like a good deal but want to hear your thoughts before I pull the trigger. Thanks guys

    I almost messaged that guy and asked if he was just kidding around with those prices or plainly day dreaming. :)

    I meant to ask if you guys know of a site (aside from eBay) that's selling AFA graded G1 TFs? (at a fair price ..if I may add that part) :D

    You could join our FB group. A number of ebay sellers are in our group. You would certainly get better prices off eBay. A lot of stuff sells there before it makes it to eBay as well. The link to the group is attached to my signature.

    This guy is super sketchy and quite frankly freaky with his communication. I tried to once buy his AFA85 Kickback, paid, and then after a week of no communication, I started a Paypal dispute. Then, he came online again and started cursing etc. So I asked him why he did not respond to my questions, and he answered "am I not entitled to some R&R in Vegas?!". He then promised to send it (through his brother), but after four days of nothing, I just demanded my money back. Which I got in the end. But only through a paypal claim escalation. Afterwards he kept emailing me long emails about everything and nothing and kept saying if I still wanted the item, I could only when I paid with the friends/family payment option. Right... This guy is a nutcase, stay away from him :)
