AFA is always a touchy subject. You either hate the idea or love it with no room for in between feelings.

I personally like to AFA my moc vintage figures so I can display them. Earlier this month I sent six of my 1987 Takara G.I. Joes to be cased/graded.

Besides the occassional mess up, I'm sure they see enough figures to be somewhat of an authority on the matter. It would be cool to see what they use as guidelines for grading though. In the end, I do not believe people should slam other collectors for the way they collect. No matter if you want to AFA your stuff or open and display it we should try to remember that we are all part of the same Joe community.

AFA is owned and operated by terrorist.

If send anything to AFA to be graded you are supporting terrorist.

I skipped ahead, so if this was posted previously, then sorry...

But I just saw on HTS that "coming soon" we can buy AFA Buzzers, hooded CCs, Serpentors, Wild Bills, Vipers and PP Officers for AFA prices...

I'm sorry, but if they didn't sell on the shelves, did you expect to take all the overstock and sell it at absurd prices? Sorry Hasbro, but those guys don't sell at retail, I doubt any moron's going to shell out AFA prices for those guys.

I laughed at the selection. Seriously, that's just sad.

Wasnt this your first response to your thread that was closed by the mods a few days ago?

These are the same threads that get started every couple weeks. You either love it or hate it. It truly dosent matter to me what or how you feel about the subject. I will continue to buy afa graded stuff whenever i want to.

This AFA craze is really crazy.

Check out HTS.com. It seems like everybody wants to cash in on AFA.

And the funny thing is that these figures are new. Sense when did a $6.00 action firgure released today is worth 5times its value just because it has a AFA approved seal of quality "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Graded Factor of 90". Big deal, so what. Anybody can grade toys, even a dog can grade at toy.

And also sense when did AFA become the only quality standard to grade toys, is it because there the only game in town that is in this kind of business or they don't have any competitors.

AFA is ripping off the people who sends them stuff to be graded. What the fools don't even realized is that they are really paying for the case that AFA puts the figures in.

So I say AFA is garbage and people who pay AFA are morons and people who buy things that are AFA graded are retarded suckers.

Maybe I should sell my joes for $100,000 and some sucker will buy them too. Because all I need to say is that my whole collection is graded by AFA.

Boy I tell ya, GI Joe collectors these day have really changed alot from the past. When they see or hear the word AFA they will spend there whole life savings on that joe because it was graded by AFA. What an idiot.

Why do you get so uppset? Is it your money bieng spent? Let people spend thier money how they want to. When they spend your money on stuff you dont like then you can complain until that happens you shouldnt insult anyone else who doesnt agree with you.
