What I currently do have on display, well it will be transformed when I get the itch. You know what I'm talking about, you just bought a single new figure and learned how to TF him for the first time, but then you get the itch to TF something more. So what do you do? (Go out and buy another one? I think not.) You pick up someone else on the shelf and have a little mock battle. Complete with Transforming and Transforming again and again.
It appeases the itch, and allows for some fun different displays.
When you don't have the itch, which is more often than not in my case, you sometimes can't help yourself and just go stir crazy, so you have to transform something. What fun it is to have the need to transform, that's why I'll never be an MISB/MOSC collector, staring at a mint in package item just wouldn't appease that itch. My fingers would get all twitchy, I'd start to lose control and before you know it... Cardboard Carnage Everywhere, so if you're an MISBer never let me near your collection. Who knows if I'll be able to control this rabid transforming monster in the presence of so many MISB figures. :lol

Hahahah, I love what you're saying about the itch, and that's part of why I could never be a MISB collector either. I still like to keep the boxes & cardbacks couse I'm too much of a nerd to get rid of that stuff, but when I buy something... I like it to actually be mine, not the box's.
Now on the flip side, I also like to leave my figures posed & untouched for the most part (I don't like them getting all loose & whatnot), but still. Transformers are well, transformers!
