People are grading parts of playsets now?

I'm sure you can get a boxed Hoth Turret set for less that is being asked for this!

 

[palitoyjunky]

Yep, crazy stuff

Hilarious, might have to send in a falcon ramp strut to see what it will get.

Whilst I think grading is bullshit I can see why someone would want a probot to sit alongside a range of graded Hoth figures.

£200 :shock:

Who the hell would pay that ???

 

[benny100]

Way overpriced, but I think it looks stunning displayed like that.

agree with above statement , crazy money but man it sure looks well :mrgreen:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Ridiculous price :roll: Total twat of a seller too who has a history of u grading and grading for greed.

i was just sniped on eBay for a boxed Turret Playset at only £70 and that probot looked mint too!

 

[PIGCITY]

£70!!! It had better been in cracking condition for that price

 

[robpmarsh]

set was in great condition but the box had a few rips.....I bid max of £55 but didn't go any higher

Must say it does look well in the case, but price is stupid I have to agree, better off getting one from a play set anyway as the one in baggies, where this would have come from that go for about 30 quid, do not have the sticker sheet with them - note the lack of stickers on this example.

i have one in my loose run & 2 with my baggies & I think its an essential part of a loose collection the old probot.

EDIT: thinking about it, it had a hell of a lot more screen time that a lot of the figures that were offered MOC, yakface instantly springs to mind for starters.

I wonder if one day we'll see an acrylic'd figure in an acrylic case.

Or maybe collectors themselves will be graded and placed in acrylic so we can see their grading.

GW acrylic display coffins?
