So, are you going to AFA it Chaz? That means you bought a Palitoy figure from America, got it shipped back to the UK and will then send it to America for grading and get it sent back again :lol: :lol: Well traveled bounty hunter that one!

:lol: Cheers lads, she is nice and shiny. 
I am keepeing the box as proof that I dodged customs LMFAO. I couldn't beleive it, thew guy even put a higher value on the declaration than what I paid :shock:
I am not sure about AFA anymore to be honest Joe, I quite like the thought of being able to put my hands on everything. I may be temted though, I have several things that would be much safer in an AFA prison box. My dog ate his first vintage parcel the other day, he is on his third now! Lucky it was just some loose figures :roll:
I do go a bit quiet every now and again, usually it means I am skint and avoiding the forums stops me spending lol

I have paid for a proof and getting some cash together for the first shot, taking a much slower aproach for a little while. I would like to buy some of Matts stuff but to be honest with the way things are I will end up buying them next time there up for sale :evil: I might even have to start buying the Kenner cards :shock:

How come the PBP Ackbar earlier in this thread had subs of 80 85 85 and got overall 80 but the modern Leia got 90 95 95 and got overall 95. How does that work?? :? Sorry for my ignorance but i don't collect afa stuff. Surely the Ackbar should have an 85 overall :?

Peter - unfortunately the sub-grades are only indicators to the relative strength of the individual components of the piece i.e card, bubble & figure. Therefore you can't take an average of the subs to get the overall grade (some think you should but it doesn't work like that). AFA have themselves described various attributed sub-grades as being 'strong' (as in the case of the modern Boussh presumably) or 'medium' or even 'weak' and as the card grade usually dictates the overall grade it is these minor 'opinions' that give the final grade. FWIW I have had AFA 85 moc's with subs of 80,85,85 as well so it does work both ways.
Ultimately AFA is only one (or two) opinion(s) on condition but still a recognised uniform opinion within the collecting community. Probably one of the main reasons that AFA has dedicated fellowers and also collectors who would be more than happy to see it fold.
Cheers,
Christian
