Hi guys

I'm in need of AFA Graded speeder bikes 85-90. I've seen one U90 MOTO JET, very nice but he wants £185 shipped for it... is this a good price or way over the odds?

Thanks

Ham

Hi Ham i think a lot of the price reflects the 90 grade (you dont see many 90's) there can be a big price different between and 85 and a 90 as well as people can be sucked into collecting the numbers when in reality the difference in condition is minimal.

Would you buy an ungraded example if it came up? I would imagine a C9+ MISB costing less than 100gbp

Also are you only looking for MISB i.e sealed examples?

Cheers Jay

Hi Jay, thanks for the info dude. Yeah, only after MISB and graded as getting them graded myself was a real hassle and had to wait 3 months for the bloody things to come back

As a kid when I got one (figure or vehicle) I viewed for a while, then ripped the fucker open lol but no regrets as loved playing with them at the time. But now I want the memories but locked up safely and nicely in acrylic casing and the grading is for my personal benefit and to show that it's genuine.

So any ideas on what I should be paying for an 85 or 90 MOTO JET? Don't care about the U graded particulally tho does show that it's pretty mint and never had grubby kids hands all over it

Have to add that totally against U graded figures as thats completely different... shorting the supply for real collectors etc etc!

Yeah the guy states that it came from a sealed container... here's the AFA break down

Serial Number: 17318057
Date Graded: Oct 02, 2007
Grade U90
(Sub grades are not available for this item)
Year: 1983
Company: PALITOY / PBP
Series: STAR WARS
Title: ROTJ BI-LOGO
Name: SPEEDER BIKE (MOTO JET)

ham , what are you looking for a bi-logo boxed one that has the printed text in multiplu languages

or specificly the pbp that has the white sticker on it that says MOTO JET

because the pbp one is much rarer and harder to find

and iam sure this one is more expencive

about afa , wel if paying way over the top for a grade is worth not waithing 3 monthes for it then oke

but its not something i would do , you could buy 4 or 5 variations of the boxed speederbike with that money

Hey Jimster, yeah its the PBP one and yeah I would pay the extra to save the hasstle of sending and waiting but how much extra is the question.

Just need to know, if anyone can help, is to what price should I be looking at? Also what price would I be looking at for this one in question, Straight out of a sealed container which had 4 boxes in and graded U90?

Much appreciated and thanks Jimmy

just to be sure is it the upper one or lower

notice how they both say motojet except one has a big white sticker

Yup def the lower one with printed MOTO JET on it.

Here's the link

Btw if AFA open the MISB's then how the hell do they put the tape back again and how do they open them without a tearmark in sight?

Btw Jimmy is that tri-logo Scouty the rounded corners one or indented corners?

about the tri its the same on i showed you at lfcc and is not for sale

Ok even tho the U90 one is PBP and from Spain too?

Didn't want ya tri-logo fella jus wondered. Have I got the rarer one or you?
