Hi guys, I'm new around here and will be posting pics to this thread soon. I'm trying to build an AFA collection of the 25th line myself. Nice collection btw. Looking forward to chatting with y'all!

Thats nice Glumby very inspiring id like to get into the AFA thing just never knew how. always scared to send away my figures i guess after there in my hands. if you even have to send them away that is i just guessed u did if ya have any info on how to do it post it up would be a good help to the new jacks in here like myself

Not hard to do at all. I understand your feeling, but I've had nothing but positive experiences with AFA. I've sent them figs twice and didn't have any problems. First of all you head to their website at toygrader.com and create an account. Then you go to the submission resource page and click on submit an item. It will take you to some pages where you fill out some simple forms. Once you fill in the blanks, you print the form, box up your item with the form enclosed and ship it off. When they get it they send you an invoice (for whatever tier you chose to have the figure graded under. Examples are Archival, Express, Standard...) via email with a "due date," which is the date they'll have your fig graded, once payment is made they then send it back and do an awesome job of packing it!

Silent Ninja got it. It's not hard, just fill out paperwork and ship.

Its alot of info but just read through everything and choose the right tier. The rest of my collection are kept in starcases in bins for now.

Okay, took me a while but here are my pics! Here are the grades:

Snake Eyes w/ Black Timber U90
Snake Eyes w/ White Timber U90
Storm Shadow Camo U90
Cobra Commander U85
Flint U85
Cobra Officer U85

Snake Eyes V3 U90
Hiss Tank Driver U90
Viper U90
Spirit U90
Wild Bill U90
Duke w/ Jetpack U90

I'm trying to see if I can increase my collection to sealed cases only, but it may be asking for too much. I got lucky and got my hands on a Wave 1 sealed case recently, which I sent straight to AFA.

Cool Pics!

Thank you! Yeah, I know several Tankers don't agree with getting their stuff graded with AFA, but I believe that one should do whatever makes them happy. I like AFA and highly recommend them!

I love AFA's protective cases though.

I got a yellow stalker that is on my wall right now that i would like to get AFA'd. I just don't think i have the money at the moment to do this? It looks like it cost $60, but that includes a hard plastic case. Im a bit confused, don't you get a case when you use the lesser tiers? Does it just take more time?
