Hi Steve, glad you came to have a look at the site. I'd put a thread up with your cases on here. http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB2/ ... =26&t=2921
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Steve,

one of the guys had asked if you have thinner (less deep) cases as well as the one that I bought from you.

Hi everyone yeah our website is http://www.ukgraders.co.uk we have just completed our first year grading over in the U.K and it's going great with good positive comments we mainly have been grading Star Wars and so far have just graded under 1000 star wars itmes and many other areas but not many Action Force :0( we have done some Gi joe itmes for people but not too many as of yet.
As for thinner cases at the minute we only do the thinner AFA style ones for the graded figures but I might be doing some in the future we basically did the deeper ones to accomadate larger bubble figures too.
Our design of slide back case I think works really well because you dont have to slide the figure up into the case you just place it on the brackets and slide the back on also they are totally clear and a really high quality being a collector myself I wanted that extra touch that some of the sldie bottom cases dont have.
Heres a picture of my Kraken that I show as a sample at toy fairs for people to see the quality of of grading and casing the Kraken is an Overall 90 grade and he's stunning from my personal collection but please note we dont grade our own items this is just to give you an idea :0)
The barbecue pic is from our archives and is a customer in France figure.

hi Steve, and wow - nice condition kraken! I'm going to be after a few cases for deeper bubbled figs in next few months (battlestar gallactica). Is it best to go through main site? Also, do you have facilities to do custom sized cases for the larger carded af stuff? Possibly with a grading? I'm looking for options for my boat patrol, us para etc, and a team 4 fig packs? Feel free to pm?
