I think you can buy them from AFA.

It is something I am interested in as well... not so much the grading part but having a case to protect carded items.

Just very recently I read a great blog post by Dave Barry (Gangu Stars) on a new phenomenon called ‘digital collecting’, a practice whereby toy enthusiasts strictly collect images of toys they desire instead of physically owning them. I didn't know this was a thing. I've been doing it for years, ho...

I had no idea. I never took mine out of the package. I have the Megatron and one of the Rodimus Prime ones.

A couple of those have the reversible inserts and I think the "Artsy" sides are the ones facing out. That Gundam Seed Destiny one has one DVD and also a T shirt inside. It is still sealed. :up:

I liked the idea of the Armada game until I played it. Vehicle modes were cool to use but year, the landscape and game mechanics do not really let you do that. I had to go somewhere and decided to take a shortcut... I then found that you can drown in the water! I gave up after that, it really broke ...

Oh wow, ink stamp Jazz & Wheeljack! I had Jazz, and as a kid you spend hours going around stamping things with Jazz's stamp. Bizarrely (or perhaps not so) it really ties you to the character. Maybe it was the combination of this and the Man of Iron story from the Marvel comics that made him sta...

I think they all look pretty good. If I were to pick one that I didn't like as much, it would be Prowl. Mostly because of the shape of his head. Also the fact that it has the T-Top markings in vehicle mode, which it shouldn't. I know the original toy had them, but I'm pretty sure that was an error.

Diablo 3 is okay. I played each class to level 60, so I absolutely got my money's worth, but it's dwarfed by the amount of time I spent in D2. I played D3 for a few months after release, but I got bored waiting for Blizzard to release patches containing the rest of the content (at the time that I s...

I originally considered that Hound (the larger one) but I'm on the fence. I still haven't seen it at retail. I did buy the Hound and Smokescreen Construct-Bots only because I don't have a non-G1 version of them... Well I have G2 Smokescreen but I'm not sure if that counts. I also got some G1 party s...

I wonder if a Marlboor or Marlboro repro sticker set will be made for that eventually. That only reason I'd want one.

- What makes a third-party worth the price to you? I only have a few toys in the collectively adopted "third party" category*. I haven't paid a whole lot for any of them, I'd say maybe $30 at the most each. They have been from the secondary market (buy from someone on a forum) or on disco...

Walmart had Energon DVD, first 7 episodes, for $5. Made by Shout Factory. Did they do the whole series?

The worst Transformers game ever? This Famicom cart, which I currently can't play. Maybe I should try to get all the TF video games...
