"Another one bites the dust..."

PS - sorry Frank- must be painful to see! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-1980-Han-Solo-Hoth-Kenner-Baggie-Bagged-AFA-85-/230738238665?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item35b9121cc9#ht_500wt_1413
 
Probably a glue job that wasn't picked up, I've found most Han Hoth figures I've owned have very stiff heads so they obviously didn't notice it.
 
AFA is an economic bubble like derivatives. It's not an investment in something real, but something made up, subjective or speculative. It's going to burst soon, all the signs are their for a false economy.

Lots of people going to loose money, but have some nice acrylic cases.

Wth happened to his head??? I don't see Han being able to trek a Hoth blizzard with that going on...
 
This one is just a typo (no damage to the figure fortunately) but it did make me laugh:

The label reads "Made in Mexico" - I'm not sure about you guys but I can clearly see that the COO sticker on the bottom right reads "Fabrique a Macao/Made in Macao" :lol:

I'm glad someone else is keeping tabs on these AJ!

You don't happen to have the missing images from this thread (in my initial post) knocking around do you?

Poor Snags..
 
First ever figure I sent to AFA in 2007. Had it in my collection since 1999. Waited 4 months for him to come home. :(



and...........



Can't blaim AFA thow. I have sent hundreds of since and never had a problem, it's the risk you take.
 
Do AFA not insure stuff they send back?
I would assume you can claim on that, or at least try to (and prob end up getting told to do one like I did).

Sad to see a bubble crack.

I started the claim but gave up, to much hassle. I never sell Star Wars items so don't really see the point in claiming, just take it on the chin. :) I'm over it now honestly. :( :arrow:

Not just decapitated but looks like they've graded it with a Leia Hoth gun not Han Hoth!

(that's probably why he's asking £22!)
 
Your eyesight is going Matt! http://www.ebay.de/itm/K0150-HAN-SOLO-HOTH-EX-AFA-85-ACRYL-CASE-STAR-WARS-VINTAGE-1983-1985-/301966703282?hash=item464e9e3ab2:g:HgQAAOSwBPNXRumv :lol:
 
From a certain point of view it looked like a Leia Hoth gun... and yes, I should have gone to Specsavers!
