Should I start a separate thread for a sale list?
I am going to be putting some stuff on ebay. I've been saying that for years now, but I have some motivation now. I want a new mountain bike and I've a lot of SW stuff I just don't need or want anymore.
There will be a lot more than this, but I just thought I would put up this list I made up a long time ago, while I was on the computer.
The grading is pretty strict. I'm not a picky collector, I would probably normally give all of these a higher grade, but I want to be as technical as possible, so I won't get any negative feedback when I put them on ebay. With the exception of the C6s, they all look great hanging on your wall or on a shelf, but they're not perfect or case fresh when you look at them closely.
2002 Saga
#01 Anakin Skywalker (Peasant Disguise) (w/ background)
#03 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Coruscant Chase) c7 (crease in back lower quarter and dent in top of bubble—looks c8 or c9 from front—straight on)

#05 Kit Fisto (Jedi Master) ) (w/ background)

#21 Nikto (Jedi Knight)
#23 Yoda (Jedi Master) c7.5-8 (dent on right side of top of bubble and K-Mart price tag in upper right of card)
#24 Jar Jar Binks (Gungan Senator) c8 (slightly curvy card)
#25 Taun We (Kamino Cloner) c8 (scratch on upper right of card that you can only just see if you tilt it just the right way and slight dog-ears on bottom corners)
#27 Count Dooku (Dark Lord) c8 (very minor dent on top of bubble and small crease middle right of back)
#28 Mace Windu (Geonosian Rescue) c8 slightly curvy card

#33 Endor Rebel Soldier (Bearded) c7.5-8 (minor shelf-wear)
#33 Endor Rebel Soldier (non-Bearded) c7.5-8 (a bit of a curve on lower left of card and small crease on back right middle)
#33 Endor Rebel Soldier (non-Bearded) c7.5-8 (itty-bitty crease marks all over card, but no creases—maybe from warping and then being flattened back out—dent on right of top of bubble)
#34 Massiff with Geonosian Warrior c8 (slight crease on peg hook)
#35 Orn Free Ta c7.5-8 (shelf wear and small crease on back)

#40 Djas Puhr (Alien Bounty Hunter) c7.5 (dent on right of top of bubble)
#42 Darth Maul (Sith Training) c8 (shelf wear and K-Mart price sticker)
#43 Anakin Skywalker (Tatooine Attack)
#44 Ki-Adi Mundi (Jedi Master) c6 (big crease)
#46 Teemto Pagalies (Pod Racer)
#47 Jango Fett (Slave I Pilot) c7 (curvy card, sucked in bubble on top and shelf wear)
#50 Watto (Mos Espa Junk Dealer) c7.5-8 (barely visible scratch on top left front and minor crease on back)
#51 Lot Dod (Neimoidian Senator)
#52 Tusken Raider with Massiff c7.5 (crease on middle front of card—under peg hook)

More will be posted in the near future.

Some of us are toy stoopid and have no idea what the numbers mean...
Maybe you could post a rough description of the grading system...

c-10 would be the best, obviously, but nothing is that good--they don't even come out of the case without blemishes anymore...
c-9 or 9+ "Case Fresh" Since noone would dare call theirs perfect, this is as good as it gets. Minty fresh. No noticeable blemishes, scratches, bends or creases--clear bubble/blister, clean seal, etc.
c-8 one or two problems--I think a piece should be marked down a grade per big blemish. I'm not too picky, so a lot of my collection falls in this category, between 8 and 9. It may have a few scratches on the bubble or card, or slightly dog-eared corners on the card, or the card may be a little bent or wavy. If they are minor details, like the scuffing on the card corners or on the blister that you get, even straight out of the box, than I might not grade it down until there are two more minor problem areas.
c-7 one more significant blemish, or two or more lesser ones. Dog-eared corners and a scratched blister, for instance...
c-6 "Opener" Most collectors wouldn't hang a c-6 on their wall. It is great for finding a figure you want loose, minty-fresh from the package.
AFA grading is of course going to be a lot stricter. And this is just one man's amateur assessment of what he's learned in 8 years of collecting but not being to picky about it.
Any feedback, Henry, or any other serious collectors?
Just an example of the subjectiveness of the system:
I think my C2 Jorg Sacul was a c-7 from Brian's Toys. I wouldn't grade it so low. It would be a c-8 or 9 for my purposes, and I might grade it c-7/8 if I were to sell it, just to be on the safe side.

Sounds like you got the grading down about right. But everryones idea is differant. Thats why AFA was born they go by more finite rules than the everyday Joe.

So, I'm kinda on a toy-buying moratorium...
So when I found multiples of most of wave 5 at Walmart this morning...
I almost cried. 
I called my boss and she let me get a few:
Darth Malak
Darth Revan
Tattoo Ani
Yoda/Kybuck
Roron Korobb
Organic Grievous
She let me have two of them and the rest are going under the bed for Christmas or whatever...
There were still a lot I wanted, like Hermi Odle, Threepio and Salacious, Luke with bone (that came out wrong), and that drummer from the band is a really nice sculpt and paint job.
One thing that was missing was Starkiller Hero. I don't know if this was a slightly different case pack, or if someone else had already picked them all off.
I still want another Darth Revan to keep carded, since it is a Fan-Choice figure.
I saw the concept Vader and a GH Gold McQ Stormy at Target, but I'd already overspent.

I guess what I saw at Target was Wave 4 revision 2...
Cartoon Boba was there, but I am not impressed. It is a rather boring repaint. If there had been a new cartoon-inspired sculpt, I would be all over it!

I went into Walmart today for some batteries and passed through the toy section and almost fainted! There was probably 10 figures I would have bought if I wasnt able to control myself. There was a ton of concept figures; Boba, Vader, Starkiller, Snowtrooper, Stormtrooper, pre droid Grevious. There was also a bunch of new clones, a grey clone commander, red,blue,yellow Clone Captains, fan choice Dark Troopers, fan choice Sandtroopers, fan choice Scout Troopers, droids, droids and more droids!
I'm not sure what series they all are, but it was a nice collection!

So...which Wal Mart was that?
Cool that you found some stuff that you were looking for otisdodge
And I know what you mean about the checking account Jaira
I don't hunt anymore since I just started buying the waves... I'm only going to do that with this coin run
and it's just becasue I want all the coins... Guess I shouldn't say only going to do that with...cause they'll
come up with some other gimic that makes me want them all...but, since my collection wasn't very big at all...getting
figures and stuff makes some sense.
At least they've got soemthing new out...
