    The AFA pictures in this thread are a thing of beauty. I have none graded, but do have a couple sealed to bubble/MIB figures in AFA plastic diaplays.
    I really enjoy seeing the larger toys (Jetfire and the giftsets) in pristine condition. And the Soundwaves. Viewing one of the coolest, badass toys ever made and AFA'd is a real treat.
    Good job by you AFA collectors. Thanks for sharing.

    Thx for the advice, I might just get the sliding bottoms so I can put them on my shelf instead of leaving them in the shipping case lol. Anyone purchase cases that were not from afa?

    I for one take my toys out of their packaging to play with them or display them loose but it's always awesome to see collections like these...the effort you guys make and the strength to control the "itch" to open them is simply amazing!

    I cant speak for others, but I have no itch to scratch as far as opening up a sealed toy.
