To open or not open...my dilemma

I have been purchasing lots of transformers figurines the past few months and opened most of them but I started wondering should I open them up or not... I don't think of them has an investment but as a therapy so my wife calls it...but going online ei ebay some of the products double in prices and it really got me thinking.

How do you determinate if you should open/ play/display the transformers figurines or let them get tortured in their packaging?

To open or not to open... what to do???

Easy: I open everything... eventually.

You will drive yourself crazy trying to collect for profit. Collect for the fun of it.

A very easy answer to this question is this: If is a Transformer... open it. You cannot transform it in the box. Set it free my friend.

When I'm running low on space for the boxes, I open the ones that I know I'm going to keep.

Re: To open or not open...my dilemma

Yes, open them up. But take ur time opening them and savouring the new plastic smell and crisp transforming goodness. Once it's gone then open another then another.....then another.....muhaahahahahaaaa!!!

Or if you have some kind of MISB fetish, which i get from time to time, then keep some sealed and just appreciate the mintess from outside the package.

Definitely open them...

But I (personally) have enjoyed keeping certain repaints and 'duplicates' MISB...not for profit, but for display.
