    Is anybody planning on getting the new G1 reissues from Hasbro graded? I have noticed how difficult it is to get perfect bixes for these in Walmart...I have a feeling the card stick is thinner.

    Sorry, but I don’t think anyone here even acknowledges resissues.

    Interesting! I guess that kinda does make sense. But a well preserved copy is a well preserved copy, I'd say. I really don't know enough about the AFA scene to comment, but I sure think that these G1 specimens look amazing in-box.

    The box art on Scourge is one of the best from season 3, in my opinion.

    Yeah for the box to be 90 is extremely high, it must have been case fresh. Back Christmas 1985 getting hold of Prime or Megatron was very difficult because they all sold out in the UK, I find it incredible how pre rubs are still found sealed, you'd have thought all of these would have sold out first.

    I agreed that a well preserved copy is a well preserved copy. Who knows what would happen down the road. Even G1 is a reissue of Diaclone.

    There used to be a few AFA graded Diaclone. I remember seeing a pair AFA graded 90 Red and Blue "Diaclone Sound blaster". Where did they go?

    Anyone saw them?

    AFA 80Q Omega Supreme. It seems like blue and red label Omegas are not easy to find. I’m very happy with this beautiful piece.

    I've never seen an AFA Omega before. Very impressive!

    That is so cool! Aside from maybe fort max and tryption, I think omega has one of the largest US release boxes. That must be expensive to grade.

    He is rare I saw one MISB AFA 80 a few years back on Ebay, and I think that was the Canadian version.

    AFA 85Y Autobot Clone. I like to have variety in my collection and 1987 was one of my favorite years.
