I know, the other sites I go to concentrate on one line of toys.....this site has all the toy lines!

If I can't find a specific toy MOSC, I normally go to ebay to find an AFA graded one.

It seems these companies would understand that collectors want their items to arrive as pristine as possible and do their best to allow for that. I certainly don't think we should have to splurge for AFA graded ones to get that treatment either.

Last time I ordered 4 figures at once. I assumed that Mattel would pack the items with care. I understand that most collectors don't care about damaged packaging because they are going to open it anyways....but some of us high end collectors want high end toys!

That's why I'm only going to order 1 Skeletor at a time. Maybe that will work?
