Don't do ittttttttttttt

Ask Delboy if he has a spare loose madine and he might swap you for the baggie, at least you know it's going to someone who won't open it.

Only open things that look like ****, like this :

Actually, as a disclaimer, it sometimes isn't even worth doing it, that snowtrooper is awesomely white but due to the damage on the bubble he has a scratch on his face and his cape/skirt was actually stuck to the back of the card thats why there is a rip of card inside the bubble.

In 7 years I have taken 12 figures off of cards, its an anti climax and they were beaters, but still I feel the need to own up..

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, Josh mate - I have learned the errors of my ways, save the MOC and especially save those friggin baggies !!

 

[slim]

i was 50/50 there for a min or 2 :idea: , but wont open him !! he can sit beside my first afa graded piece ..oh **** let the cat out of the bag :mrgreen:

LOL, I like the way you have pointed out the problems with the card Joe.

If you hadn't pointed it out I don' think I would have noticed problems with the bubble..... :lol:

:mrgreen: don't want anyone telling me I was to blame for destroying any MOC figures :mrgreen:

All of those crappy MOC actually turned up in an envelope actually which is quite fitting considering they were beaters, they probably took a bit of an extra beating on the way from America to me!

The snowtrooper was sticking out the top of the bubble when he arrived LOL

It sure can be tempting when they look like **** but once you take them off the card you just sit there and feel absolutely nothing lol!

I still have both the Yoda and bespin guard and they are all bubble wrapped ! Doubt I will ever find another Yoda still on card for £5

DONT DO IT

Good plan mate, he isn't a very cool figure anyway so who cares if he is bagged and not loose, you can rest him against the back of your display cabinet :mrgreen:

 

[slim]

whats the story with these baggies as some madines are fitted in a tray inside a baggie and others are just loose in the baggie ??

If you want a loose Madine, PM me I have a loose one for you. And Joe, that carded Snowtrooper could've been a nice U99.

LOL I wish they cased the cardback with the figure like they do with mailers, it would be expensive and ugly and might put people off of doing it !

I wanted a madine staff actually Chris, let me know if you have one ! (don't forget you have my LIST in your RS pm!!)

 

[Chris_J]

I don't have any extra staffs sorry. I can hook you up with the white bespin guard. No ones looking are they? :mrgreen: I'm still hunting for alot of accessories for other people too. Hopefully I'll have some cash on hand this weekend to go look at some stuff to pick up.

Seriously, that would really constitute as an opener and I wouldn't have felt bad about it. Something in that shape screams "Free Me!".

Hi Slim,

This would be new to me? i've collected baggies for a fair few years now and never ever seen a bagged figure in a tray. If you've seen one it would of be a reseal.

I've seen carded figures were the figure is in his baggie in the bubble, now thats pretty cool.

 

[slim]

you are right m8 ...its just a mint figure off the card with tray placed in a bag thats not original ...it was £4 and madine is a c9.5 for sure

LOL Joe CACFA all the way

 

[Joe]

It would be good if CACFA were as active as those whale hunting protestors, they could break into AFA overnight and reclaim all those pieces waiting to be opened! :mrgreen:
