HA Soundwave! Open it up or MISB?

[malteselegacy]

Should I open it or not?
Is it a rare enough toy that I should keep closed?

Your opinions are appreciated!

Open it, as I told a wal-mart cashier once - they're Transformers, they're meant to be transformed!

[razin]

Are you reselling it? If no, OPEN IT. Rare or not, if you are not selling it, who cares.

[alternatorfan]

open it will still resell opened!

Its not the greatest toy in the world, but if you have any others opened, you might as well open this one too!

Open it, 3-4 years from now, it will be less then a retail Human Alliance toy anyhow. Cause we KNOW how much any 3-4 year old movie toy HOLDS it's retail value.

I agree with someone else's tag line, "Unless you open it, you're just collecting boxes, not TF's". Or something like that.

Then what about those revoltech transformers or model kit Optimus last year ?

Got him, opened him, painted him all within the last week. He's great.

I actually like SW now that he's painted. I am reworking to take the doors off and maybe attach them to his legs to give him more balance and stability, haven't worked on it yet. Overall I like it for a HA figure, but so far Jazz rules the roads imo.
You need to modify Laserbeak then. It's a pretty simple mod. Most parts are readily available. All I ended up using for LB, was 1 balljoint piece from the Dreads back claw thingy and a long pin to go through LB's body to connect the legs. Aside from that, exacto knife, tiny bit of sculpey for the head and paint.

If you want I can take more detailed pics of my mod. It's really not that difficult if you already customize. Granted his gun mode is...technically still there but you are firing off his head, not just the missle.
