You've probably seen the term AFA graded when looking into buying Transformers online, or even just browsing through the various Transformers forums and websites on the internet. Some of you may not know what AFA actually stands for (Action Figure Authority) and others may already own some AFA graded Transformers (or other toys). A few of you may be collectors of these highly priced, usually vintage, and extremely well kept toys.
Well if you're an AFA novice or an avid AFA figure collector then you may be interested to knwo that AFATransformers.com has now officially be launched.
AFA Transformers is a website completely dedicate to these highly collectable items. Created with the slogan "Condition Counts", AFA Transformers comprises of a huge database of official AFA information obtained directly from the Action Figure Authoriry, and presented to you directly - with no need to create an account or sign up.

- Price Guide - probably one of the most important areas, and ambishious projects of the site. This price guide is linked into eBay for AFA related Transformers auctions.

The site's look is designed with speed in mind. It doesn't look pretty but enables you to easily access the information you are after as quickly as possible. The graphical layout of the site will be improved over time, but we feel the key to our websites are in the contents not the design.
AFA Transformers was quiet a project for us, and seemed to be a natural progression after Lucky Draw Transformers. The information on the site is focused in a way that collectors of these prized pieces finally have somewhere to go to easily keep track of the trends of sales, and find information on items. If you're thinking about getting items AFA Graded then it's a great place to go to find if the items have been graded before. The site also contains information on the Action Figure Authourity although is no way connected to them.
The disucssion area for AFA Transformers is currently not open, but we'll be looking to finalise that later this month. Bookmark the site now.
