To open or not to open...

Postby LadyBug » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:34 am

I like displaying my Transformers toys outside of their box. But I had received my first edition Entertainment Prime pack. I had already opened all of my other First Edition toys, since I don't have any plans on selling them. I have been debating since I got this set to open it or not to so I can place my figures on my shelves. Should I open it? Shouldn't I open it? How do I decide? What do you guys think??

Do you plan on getting another set sometime soon? I ask cuz if you do then you could simply open it no worries. Unless your a person that doesn't ever buy 2 of something for this very reason. If you have the patients and the will get another one and look at the 2 for better looking conditions and open lesser looking one and enjoy! It's just an idea, good luck in how you choose! ;)^ :VEHI:

The answer is always 'open it'.

Weapon: Diffraction Sword
While I do have a very small number of Transformers that have never been opened, generally speaking I feel that Transformers need to be opened and transformed in order to be fully appreciated and enjoyed. Occasionally I am given a TF that I already own as a present. In those instances, I leave the second one unopened. And I have 2 or 3 minicon packs that people gave me and I never opened because I'm not that interested in Minicons.

But otherwise, OPEN IT! :grin:

Thanks to everyone that answered it. After inspecting the box a bit, I realized there are a few minor damaged corners. I'm not a hard-core collector or a scalper, so I'm going to open the box. I'm still waiting on my Transformers Prime First Edition Voyager Optimus Prime and then my R.I.D. toys as well. I should hopefully get those soon. I'm still looking for a First Edition Vehicon....
