Why go nuts for a KO? I don't understand it













at least not yet . Who am I kidding? Now I want one. h:

 

When I think KO, I think of the stuff you find at Big Lots or even this ...



KO's are extremely easy to differentiate. Horrible colors, bad wrappings, etc ...



This is more of a bootleg. Something passed for an original, but isn't. :dunno:

 

I didn't know that you could pre-order your stuff AFA graded from BBTS...

How much does it cost to get something AFA graded? Those prices seem cheaper than what I thought it costs.

 

New partner ship between the 2 companies. AFA + BBTS = AFA items with ease ... unlike the current setup where you send items blindly to AFA and hope to get them in 4 weeks.

The killer part is the "U" rating on them. That undistributed tag is impossible to get, unless you send a full, unopened, case to AFA.

 

Yeah. They already sold out of the graded F-150 Alternator Optimus Primes.

I'm wondering if it's worth it.

 

expensive.

A figure like a $5.99 figure would run about $60 to $80 depending on:

- size of case they decide to cut, you might hit the "oversized" category
- UV or non-UV plastic

 

I'd never AFA a current toy. Some guy on eBay tries pawning things like AFA-90 Cybertron Hot Shot ... but gets no bids or the opening bid of $49.99.

TwinCast is interesting ... Blaster is well worth it.

AFA will open the bookstyle cover and mount it wide open ... by doing so, you get a a HUGE box back.

 

Yikes!

I still haven't made up my mind if it's worth it. If you're going to be selling off parts of your collection in the future, then AFA grading will pay off. If not, then I don't think it's worth the expense.
