[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 452561, member: 7379"] Precisely! That's my main problem with it as well. I also don't like the fact that I cannot actually hold / touch the item if I want to, but my main bafflement is the enormous and unjustified price hike that accompanies imprisoning your item in Perspex. Just yesterday I saw an AFA loose R2 with pop up saber for sale for ~£800! Why? Even with today's criminal prices, the exact same figure not encased in a way which hideously displays the saber separately from the main figure will go for a fraction of that. I do understand that Perspex cases can look good, and I don't have a problem with people who like or collect the unopenable AFA / UKG versions, but why is some self-appointed 'expert's' opinion of the condition of somebody else's item worth a doubling of the price? I just don't get it... BTW, if anyone wants to send me a photo of their collectable, I will send you a certificate telling you what I think of it for just 20% of the item's current market value. Any takers? [/QUOTE]
