I used to be a mint in box person, but that started taking up way too much room way too fast. Now with the figures I cut the bubble off to protect the card art. and file them. Some boxes i keep, others get recycled. But the figures need to breathe!! Also it is nice to have that new toy smell. (they should bottle that for air freshner for cars!):eek:
I used to be a MOC guy, but there are too many collectors for things like this to hold any sort of worthy monetary value down the road. So now I open everything. AND I LOVE IT!
Me, I take my figures out, play with them a bit, pose them, and display them. What’s the point buying a figure -a toy-, if your going to leave it in plastic and cardboard and just look at it? Works for some people, I suppose. shrugs
