Good to hear about this discounts, too bad Toys R us doesn't ship to Mexico

Today over another topic I read about a 2007 LEGO Millenium Falcon 10719 that was priced on US $12,500 So I decided to take a look. It appeared that this was graded 9.25 out of 10 on a toy page that graded toys, it was the highest grade ever achieved by this set. I was surprised to see there was a company that graded toys and LEGO sets, so I decided to browse on the internet about them. It turns out that they've got a webpage where you can submit your toy to be graded by 4 different "Authorities" -AFA - Action Figure Authority -DCA - Die Cast Authority -CDA - Collectible Toy Authority -VGA - Video Game Authority LEGO sets apply in the first one. The AFA grades toys and LEGO sets between 1 and 10, and after a search on Ebay I couldn't find anything above 9.5 (it appears as it is really difficult to get a perfect 10). Here I leave you the AFA page: http://www.toygrader.com/ So I decided to make this topic, to hear about your opinions on the AFA, if you've ever submitted a LEGO set to them, if you dislike them or anything you've got to say about them. In my personal case I've never thought of LEGO as a big collectible so I've never submitted a set for grading, the way I see it keeping LEGO unopened for grading is a waste of it but afterall that's only my opinion, so I'd like to hear yours.

I hate that art in the loading screen, specially the Gandalf and Saruman

I can't believe we are getting an ARF I hope TLG makes him well.

Wow! That millenium Falcon looks awesome. I didn't knew there was a page that graded lego sets.

You've done it again Oky, your Shakespeare in the park is awesome

Well it appears that the movie is once again in theatres in the US this week for the labor day, too bad it is only there

It looks great but I would be more excited about it if it had included Arwen

I've always seen minifigs as one of the main parts of a set, that's why I am so fond of them and I hate when TLG screws them up. Just as you do I consider Trolls, Dragons, Hulk, Wampa, etc. Minifigs

I went to the movies and watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, I found it very entertaing. But I still found it really crazy

The 3Ds graphics look horrible

This all look awesome, specially the orange one

Any idea when we might hear of the exclusive sets?

A really bad wave in my opinion, I was hoping for a set that was bigger than the Rancor Pit. Really disappointed

Because the way I see it the Hulk from TIH is not the same one from the Avengers. Besides I think he was horribly portrayed in that film

The names of the movies have been confirmed. Here they are: First part- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Second part- The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Third part- The Hobbit: There and Back Again

I think this exact minifig is only coming with the pre-order of the game, otherwise why would the announce specifficaly says "exclusive". Besides I don't think we are ever getting a set based on the last Alliance

This is one of the coolest MOCs I've ever seen, I love the detailing on the sides of the ship.

Great review, I still own this set, I believe that 67% doesn't really represent that set at all.

I went to he movies and watched the Dictator for the third time, I still enjoy it

I wouldn't even watch The Incredible Hulk

I hope this promotion is here in Mexico as well.

It is great that it is confirmed, I stiil found curious the fact that it clearly states "Gamestop exclusive minifigure" I wonder if other stores may get a different minifig.

This project is looking great, the only problem is that the red is too bright

It would be great to have a ghost Anakin, specijally if he is made of transparent bricks
