nice one Stu - most of those have yellow bubbles so you've done well

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

Ahh i see thanks Christian.. I am just happy to have MOC that i can touch and enjoy at a reasonable price. For me if the figure is stilled sealed to a reasonable card back i am over the moon. I would still be building my loose collection if i went the AFA route...

Not had chance to pick up much over the past few months, i have got these fett items, the 48 back rotj fett is one i havnt seen too often.

 

[burnsy]

Very nice Andy, that Fett collection is coming along nicely mate.

 

[chazgreentooth]

Gotta love the fett's, not a fan of the price that comes with them though :evil:

 

[Ron]

[Lee Gregory]

Andy,they look cool mate!!!

What is that one on the left is it like a Boba from Attack of the Clones????? He looks a liitle boy that one.

 

[plantman]

Cheers for the comments guys, Lee, its a Kubrick droids series boba, not vintage but i quite like the kubricks

 

[shawn_k]

Nice additions Andy. I like how you kept the AFA fett insde its baggie.

The Kubrick is also cool. I love the vintage nods that they have done with that line. Are you going to go for the firing rocket version?

 

[jimmymindtricks]

not in collecting moc's at the moment other the biker scouts

but i sure would love to own a vintage carded boba some day

congrates on a great addition

They sure do make some money with the modern reproduction kubricks, there is all sorts of "special limited edition" ones, i would have a rocket firing one, but they are a bit pricey, im saving for the 400% version, now i really like those

Uli

I think it's a good price, not a bargain, but a good price. Figures and creatures all look minty. Did he send you pics of all sides of the box?

 

[Capetown]

Andy, those Fetts are right lookers. Excellent!

 

[Capetown]

Haven't contributed for a while, so here's some of the stuff I've accumulated over the last few months.

MIB Creature Cantina. A big thanks to Mark (Mantooth36) for the heads up.

MIB Imperial attack base.

Mint sealed Bi-logo Tri-pod Laser Cannon. I love the bi-logo mini rigs and will be going after the rest in the same condition too.

@capetown: the seller included a link at her auction to pictures of all sides of the box. Unfortunately the contents are not mint but I never thought I'll own a full set of these playpacks

@spoons: just good you did not go for it :wink: - or did you?

no it went too high for me

 

[Joe]

wow nice going guys! Really awesome buys lately, nice to see everyone slowing down as we get closer to Christmas :lol: :lol:

 

[Pyro Stick]

I just won a few Ewok cells. If i had more money i would have bid higher on the nicer cells but i only have a few quid so i had to bid on the cheaper cells. Hopefully they will be good condition when i get them, which probably wont be for a while since i had to get them sent to my brothers house in america to avoid $30 shipping costs. The damn things only cost $3! Im not spending that much on postage.

 

[shawn_k]

I love the playpack Uli. Congrats on completing the set.

Some nice additions to the boxed playsets Emiel.

 

[burnsy]

Loving the new additions guys, some great items.
