Do or Dont i get figures graded ?

[Stargeezer]

If you want the cases only, contact oscar from oscars cases.
He make the best acrylic cases and he can make the same cases as those AFA cases for your figures that you'll also can slide op en at the bottom so your figures will not be locked in a acrylic prison. I think he asks $8 a case and if you by a lot, i think you can get a better deal....

I think he's the guy you need.

With all due respect to Oscar, UKG's cases are of a better quality plus its quicker to get them, lower postage costs and no customs fees and you'll be buying British in our industry's hour of need 8)

Just recommending them that's all Lee. I've had cases from AFA, Oscar and UKG and have compared the quality. The UKG ones are excellent imo. There's a lot of people who shout Oscar when acrylic is mentioned, and I do use him from time to time as his stuff is pretty good, but he's not the only option these days. With the £ at such a low against the $ then a UK supplier can only be good

what i dont like about casing loose figures is that they all are different size cases

 

[Joe]

On the subject (kind of) of cases..Can someone put some pictures up of how big the MOC cases from UKG are?

They look huge :? wondering if they actually look a bit smaller than the pictures...

The true view oscar cases look super slim and snug so I like them loads but would consider buying from UKG if they were as small..

 

[Joe]

In particular how much room there is from the front of the bubble to the inside front of the case?

 

[Josh]

UKG on the left Joe!

 

[Josh]

Damn looks like my screen may need a wipe doesn't it LOL!

 

[Joe]

Nice shot Josh, that definitely helps!

So are the graded cases the ones they sell with sliding back?

If so they look quite nice!

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

The UKG cases do have a sliding back rather than a sliding bottom. They look less chunky at the bottom as
a result. The other nice thing about them is that you don't slide the card in and risk damaging the edges, you drop it in from the back and then slide the cover up.

I haven't got a picture to show the depth of the case but someone else might be able to help.

 

[Joe]

So are the graded cases the same dimensions as these, just with a sliding back?

These look HUGE! ? I am a bit confused lol

what's the deal Joe, are they huge or not?

 

[Joe]

Apparently the current sliding back cases ARE bigger than the graded (sealed cases)

However, after emailing and expressing an interest they have told me they are currently
looking to produce something like oscars true view case!!!!

It will still have the sliding back case but be a smaller case just like oscars true view!

Been told to check back in about a month for more updates and possibly an order!

thats good news - I'd buy local if the cases were smaller. I still need some new die-cast cases too

Definately good news, i may be investing in a few, saves me a bit more cash but has the same effect.
