Because I actually respect the history of these rare toys, there are only a handful of this figure still factory sealed in this condition around in the world today. As others have pointed out to me, this guy is like rocking-horse **** to get hold of.
So he's going on a journey to be graded and cased to ensure nothing else can happen to him, he's too delicate at the moment, he needs protecting.

I appreciate guys like you, keeping stuff like-new for people like me to buy and open at a later date. But try and pick up a loose one as well, he's really quite nice, pretty articulated for a G1, and all 3 modes are pretty decent.

With a comment like that I can easily assume that this figure is probably older than you.
Simply because the only people who make comments like this are either:
A) Jealous.
B) Have absolutely no emotional bond with these figure because they were before their time.

Who says your gonna be able to buy him?
They are gonna have to pry him from my corpse along with all my other transformers, he is not for sale, now or ever.
I don't need a loose Snapdragon, I had him when I was a kid, he was a great toy, I remember him as clear as day.

I'm guessing you keep your humour along with any other good parts of your personality sealed away from everything as well?

You can assume anything you like but you would be wrong because I was born in 1978:
A) I have that figure in pretty good shape, but If I had him MISB I would open it. So no jealousy here.
B) I have very emotional attachments to all my Transformers which is why I appreciate them the way they were supposed to be appreciated.

Well I have always been a Toys "R" Us kid (even into my 30's) and I do play with them. I guess I just don't see how any appreciating can be done through a hard plastic case and a small plastic window. It just seems like all you are appreciating is the box.
DISCHARGE wrote:Congrats on the purchase. It's very nice. Don't get worried about those who don't appreciate a collectors piece for what it is. I would keep it sealed too. If I wanted one to pose I would buy one already opened. Some people just don't see them for what they are, rare and only getting rarer due to people opening them.
Once it's opened there is no going back to the factory state(unless you lie about it).
It's one thing to run out to Walmart and get the latest figure, it's another to find a sweet piece that someone nurtured and cared for (for 20 years)to transfer to another who hopefully can do the same for it for preservation's sake. There is a wholeness to an unopened vintage piece like an original authentic G1 Snapdragon that few now days will ever hold.
