Newbie question ? AFA loose

[steve obi wan]

U grades are ruining the hobby , there are only a certain amount of carded figures left , by removing them it is removing it forever . There are millions of very good condition figures .

I think you need to ask yourself why do you want to collect , if it's solely for the money ! Your in the wrong place !!

If it's to enjoy , support and embrace the joy and pleasure SW collecting join in !

None of them are close to being the rarest

Quality is not defined by someone elses opinion

Because stupid people think a figure that was kicked around the factor in a massive bucket full of other figures before hopefully being stuck to the right card, bashed around for 35 years and then ripped off said card by someone at AFA who couldn't give two s***s about preservation and stuck in an acrylic box which can damage the figure further is somehow 'un-circulated' and worth more

This thread seems to be taking a familiar pattern.

Yet, it is the u grades that have the most auctions on ebay :roll: :roll:

You're starting to rub me up the wrong way - is this a trolling post? You've been told multiple times - if you want U grades then happy shopping just not here.

Sorry for all these questions and thanks for your advice

I think you convinced me not to buy u grade, i go for buy only 80 carded and 85/90 afa loose.

I think you need to ask yourself what you're looking to get out of the hobby. Buying a graded DT luke as possibly your first figure doesn't sound right to me.
Why not go for a loose run of the first 12 or even just the main characters and see how you feel?

I'd also recommend reading up on the hobby, just because an eBay listing tells you its rare doesn't mean it is.

Oh, and u grading is very bad. Here's a good link to tell you why.

Am I right in believing that AFA/UKG have stopped U grading figures now?

Ha ha, I don't have them but they are all for sale everyday of the week, how can that be rare?

Exactly, I think the word 'rare' is too over used and needs to be redefined. If a VCJ is rare, how do you classify items that may only be one in existence?

Unique

By reading you I wonder if it is not better to buy a Ugrade like that I have less risk and it is as if I had moc,
not shouting thank you

I think you are now 'trolling' and I am sure there is a slight lost in translation so people will initially tolerate it but patience is running very thin. Generally everyone here is against U grading.

Good luck in what ever you collect!! I am out of here!!

I suspected that awhile back but could be wrong.

U grade figures are bad, please stop posting about them. If you want to buy them, discuss them or just generally annoy people kindly go away.

I am not a troll, I try to understand you but it is not easy
