Following on from another thread, I've seen lots of beaters over the years, but they are usually fairly common figures. Have you ever seen an incredibly rare MOC that's completely buggered? Or maybe a MISB vehicle? I'm talking actual beaters, not an AFA 75! Photos are essential :)

Wasn't that one of djbighair's water damaged cards? I remember someone on the foru bought one of them and didn't do too bad a job of cleaning it up.

Wow- that's amazing- non sonic welded MOC- brilliant :D

How could AFA score the figure 20? Pulling it out of their arse. :roll:
 
The Luke is literally one of the favourite things I've seen on the forum, might be graded 30, but I would have that over a bog standard 80 grade (actually any graded tomb) any day just down to its individuality... excuse my ignorance, but are there many/any others like this out there?
 
That is awesome, very rare why did it only get a 30? a non sonic welded Luke x wing on what looks like a mint card with good bubble?
 
That's fantastic :shock: How could the Luke grade a 20, it's not damaged is it, just hasn't been assembled right?
What a piece for a collector of the unusual 8) 8)
