i stand corrected. i cant think which thread it was i recently read... might have been in SWCC i think.
but some one was saying that thier VC jawa got refused for grading as it had the wrong blaster...

(not sure if that was AFA or UKG either lol)

True Joe!It is proving difficult to find Dengar on good cards and ones like the coin offer wont come up very often IMO!I dont mind getting things and upgrading them really anyway!The most common ones are the 41e by the looks of things!
Here is an email I got from Will (dspair on RS) funny as and his reason why they are always beaten up!

Quote Will:

A little known fact:
Dengars are commonly found with their bubbles smashed...not because of the larger sized bubbles...nor because of the fragility of the plastic...not even because of being jammed in the shipping cases.
Rather, they came directly from the factory like that. An interview with the plant manager revealed that workers were so disgusted by this character, that they would frequently take their fists and smash the figures repeatedly. In discussions with Mr. Dengar (the toy), he stated that he's used to the abuse and "I know I'm an ugly MoFo...but at least my back is really cool....temperature I mean...not cool cool...wait why the f#%k are you talking to me...I'm a f#%king an action figure....


Thanks fellas for the comments!
 
I think it was SWCC Gustie and the grading company was UKG I think also!Considering though it looks like UKG have graded a fake ledy Burgandy Squiddie I am not sure if they know alot about rare figures!

Wasn't it J3 when he got his VC jawa graded he won in that lot gustie?

Hi mate (did you get my PM?)

Yeah i think certain VC's did come with specific guns but there is no way of determining which card the jawa came off, (unless there is leg markings but you could swap figures anyway) so loose are allowed any gun, i think the Toltoys one only came with the bump so i cant be graded with the smooth gun, im not 100% on AFA policy as now but ive sent mutilple ones with different guns and not had any probs.

(not sure if that was AFA or UKG either lol)

JOSH.... was it in SWCC?????

That's really bad on both counts - it pretty much devalues anything UKG have graded before

AFA make mistakes, but the wouldn't refuse a figure based on a variation in the weapon. One of the complaints against them is that you can pick up a minty cloth caped jawa and stick a VC on it and send it in, or swap a dt saber into a minty ROTJ luke.

The VC jawa and the 12 back cloth caped jawas came with both types of blaster - surely a grading company should know that :roll:
 
I agree spoons!I have heard though the UKG cases are easy to open up so maybe that squiddie at least was swapped out!
