[QUOTE="Joe, post: 348739, member: 440"] Vernon - nice Luke Hoth pre-prod! Thanks for sharing + cool to see where some of Grant's lovely old run ended up! Mr-Shifter - There have been some discussions about this kind of thing in the past and there are definitely people out there that aren't that fussed when a first shot is removed from a Kenner bag if the owner intends to display it loose (especially if it was tape sealed or open) and naturally those that feel they should stay together. Personally, I think I'd have a hard time opening a sealed bagged first shot (however bad it displayed) but I would probably take a first shot out of an [u]open[/u] bag for display purposes (yet keep them together). Whatever opinion you have, I think AFA adding the U to a pre-production piece is pretty moronic though, even if it was removed from some form of packaging. If the U is meant to stand for "uncirculated" (AFA's copycat term taken from coin grading companies, meant to indicate the piece has not been used or distributed to the general public) then surely a pre-production/prototype is by nature already "uncirculated", no? Sure, a few ended up in the hands of Kenner employees kids but the vast majority were never meant to be released to the public or set foot anywhere near toy shops.. :roll: [/QUOTE]
