That was fast.... I was just going to ask if anyone will do any grading in their GA, so I look around on evilbay and found two.

HOLY CRAP!!! Shouldn't they give it a little bit of time first? You know, let the dust settle. How does AFA know that these are really the grade that they say they are. They should have given some time for the few lucky people who really have a nice "flat" carded GA. Is seems that all of us received our GA's with warpped cards.

RIDICULOUS, TOTALLY RIDICULOUS.
$80 for a graded brand new toy? They oughta shoot that seller and AFA

How much did the seller have to spend to get these figures graded anyway?

I was gonna say the same thing until I saw you beat me to it.

What the hell is the AFA anyway? I think all these "grading" companies are just huge scams. They're clearly not for the fan, not even the typical collector. This is leveraging the thing into another category, like a friggin' mortgage security or something.

Look, glad to see that they're being received well, but this is positively obnoxious.

And only a 9.0,
Good grief....

Remember this, AFA and any other grading company is someones opinion! And who's to say which grading company has the better grader. And in the end a collectible is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

AFA blah blah blah...

I say, as with most any toy including Megoes, open 'em & enjoy 'em!

(Of course, I might feel differently if I owned a carded Iron Man, Goblin, Lizard, etc. lol)

That's just it. This was never meant to be a collectible, it's a TOY, to be opened and played with. Sure, I can understand some people getting 2, so they can open one and keep another carded for display purposes, but grading it? Come on...

[MIB41]

Things like this give AFA a really bad name and destroy any credibility they have to the industry.

one day I will turn over the AFA table at a con and attempt to shove my GA in their mouths, but seriously folks this is one of the reasons I personally do not care for any of these vultures

uncirculated fair enough... but look at some of the figures in the blister/bubble! legs all over the place and stuff, i know about grading, the figure inside has to be dispayed mint, looking forward, legs perfectly placed and accessories, not to mention crystal clear bubble no warps in cards creases webs so on

these are not

there are deductions for bad points

calling uncirculated is a bluff

i have an uncirculated vintage moc anakin skywalker... i got it from the toy factory itself! but its crushed and damaged... i contacted toy graders and they would give the loose figure if removed from the bubble a u90 but the card would hit 60-65

some of these ga have bend warp in the card and the figures are all over the place inside

difficult to call it a u90 the toy factory send it to matty, matty send it to the purchaser, they sent to afa

uncirculated my ****
