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! ;)^

The answer is always 'open it'.

This.

That and ... it's your collection, do whatever YOU want with it. You don't need to ask others what to do with YOUR collection.

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....
