I am not sure he is saying the figure was graded as such TFB just imprisoned in acrylic maybe thats all!

I knew you could by cases from them, But I did not know they would seal items in a case themselves without grading them. Pretty much a waste as these repro fetts are pretty "rubbery" from what I hear.

Yep but I have seen them sell for over $100 go figure, I guess some people just cant live without a rocket firing fett!I know I can!!

AFA aparently will case anything nowadays and I know they will case your figure if they cant grade it also because of a defect like ink touchups and reseals!Guess that way they can try and justify there grading fees on items that dont cut it!

This is what is good about UKG apparently Steve will not charge you just for looking at it if it turns out it cant be graded unlike AFA the scammers!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

yep AFA will still case the figure if it is refused for grading (in this case I'd imagine they just won't grade 'bootlegs' of this type). You can specify return without the casing but they will still charge the grading fee.

It a bit off a rip off. If some thing fails to get a grade they should not charge you.
