Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

There have been many a heated discussion about AFA on yojoe.com. Personally, I'm not anal enough to care about having pristine figures in the first place, but supposed experiences of people getting AFA to grade KOs and evidence of questionable ratings, etc. makes me really wonder about them. I've also heard conspiracy theories of them giving better than deserved ratings to figures submitted by companies owned by the same parent company to AFA, though I have no idea if that is a serious criticism or not.

Interesting, Karmazov. I haven't been to the YoJoe forums in years.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

here's my thing about AFA. there have been experiments ran on boards like rebelscum, and spawn.com where people send in a product for them to rate, them get the product back, open it, send it back in and have THE SAME PRODUCT come back with a higher rating the second time around. AFA is a scam that preys on people who feel the need to have the mintyest of the mint carded collection.

Not to mention, in most cases, the sealed items and the rating are pretty much irrelevant. You can shake the hell out of the box, damaging the carded/boxed item inside and still have the same rating outside.

Or put the whole thing under water, etc.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Anyone know where I can buy the Arise Serpentor Arise! DVD Pack?
There's one on ebay but I'd like to find one closer to the $20 retail.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I saw a bunch of comic packs on clearance at Target for $3.22 a piece and a Rattler for $6.24 too. I don't collect these but I know they are awesome.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I picked up the Tigerforce vehicles as well at 6 dollars and some change. the selection of comics pack around here are extremely limited though as I've only seen CC and tripwire

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Damn. Those are the sales I have been looking for and will need to see if my Target is doing that.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Well, I went out this morning and was able to find one single blue rattler at 6$ bucks. didn't find the conquest tough, oh well one out of two isn't bad I suppose

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I went to Target today, they had some cheap Duke Muggs ($3 each), but no other 25th figures or vehicles at all. Not surprising, as this place was always bad for collectors gobbling up good or cheap Joe stuff.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Why are they all going on sale again, I guess I missed the explanation?

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Target is clearing out all 25th ann. Joe stuff to make room for ROC
