I really don't understand why you'd do this?

I'm sure this is a forum member too?!
Seems a bit pointless to me, but I'm told there's a Star Wars "collector" born every minute :lol:

isn't that the clown with the "unobtainable" stuff coming up for sale? Perhaps he meant these?! :lol: :lol:

Don't see the point of these , either moc or loose , it would display better as a reseal .

I agree, though I think with these it's the fact that it's graded is meant to be the appeal

Haha I thought so. Well, they're one of a kind I suppose cos no one else will ever be stupid enough to waste money doing that!! :lol:

Pointless, ridiculous and overpriced. If any of these sell at those prices, then the hobby is in real trouble.

 

[walkie]

I don't know what to say other than what a load of shite!

Just seems like a pointless waste of money and I would have a reseal over these any day of the week (and it would be a lot cheaper). Part of me's even surprised that UKG even bothered to grade them….I guess if it's what the customer wants then who are they to refuse their money.

So has the seller opened the figure then sent it off for grading? Or is it a new type of u grade?

I'm a bit puzzled about that as well, maybe Steve at UKG could shed some light (probably none of our business though)?

Seems pointless to get graded ,but i will say it's a nice way to display a reseal ! So if you had a figure and back card and purchased this style of display case ,then it's a verry nice look in my eyes ,a nicely displayed piece (if ungraded)

 

[jedi_masters]

This is what I was thinking, people are against U grade so the next step now is to send it in opened and they just dont put a U next to it!!!

Again, another reason why I hate graded stuff as it inflates the price ridiculously, what makes the R2 worth £330?!?!?!

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

What a load of shite.
This is the clown

 

[monkeyboy]

Excuse my ignorance but the grading says GMFGI which I though meant general mills fun group something or other, yet it's a coalville palitoy card, were they part of the same group?

I find these a bit odd tbh, its a poor mans palitoy 12 back i guess :lol:, if someone is willing to pay to have this done i guess ukg say what the hell (i know i would)

The reason it says GMFGI is because that's what the markings/coo of the figure are it is basically a graded loose figure with a card back in the box and that is why there is no mention of the card back on the ukg label

 

[Frunkstar]

Its an odd one for sure, but I actually quite like the way they display, don't like the price much though, just please tell me the numpty has not actually opened MOC's up to get this done please please please

:? What a bad, bad idea. :roll:
