That does not happen? I know the CEO can take his cruise & the US taxpayer will pay for it, more bail-out money please! Hasbro is a whore, and a cheap on too! AFA is fine for rare and vintage items that are minty & you want to keep them that way. I have sent some stuff to them, their grading is questionable. Anyone who buys a 25th figure graded is a fool & deserves to get ripped off. These things will never be worth anything, just like any Star Wars figs made since 1995. Any item that is "rare" and worth anything, Hasbro will pick up on it & reproduce it & blow the value out of the water. For instance the Rattle, I am a die-hard vintage collector but, why would I pay $60 to &100 for a 1984 Ratter with effed-up landing gear when I can get a brand new one for $25. Anakin Skywalker's Clone Wars Starfighter was selling for over $100 loose, Hasbro reboxes it, now it has reached shelf-warming status & worthless! So if you think your AFA U85 25th Flint will be worth something in 5 years, just wait till hes remade 5 to 10 times. Now on the other hand a 85 Flint will ALWAYS be a 85 Flint. Have him graded if you want, but he is alot more fun to pose & photograph.
