TMNT Action Figures: Open 'Em, or Leave 'Em Carded?
 

Out of curiosity . . . .

I detest people leaving their figures carded, especially ones that have no hope of gaining value.

I open them.

I used to collect loose only. But I reached a point where I had to buy carded figures to get complete figures with all of the weapons. Soon I was amassing a MOC collection as well.

Open 'em!!! What fun are they in a box?

two sets all the way! its not about the cash value, just that the collection looks very impressive, covering the wall and all. but out of package is fun and allowes for exciting display.

Then you detest me...heh. Until I can get enough money to buy two of each, I will keep them in great condition. However, I do display my 12'' Leo...

i keep them MOC and hang them on my wall. i love to walk in a look at them just lined up perfectly all over.

i open 'em. they're toys after all ^_^.

i open them, and put them in killer poses on a reserved shelf on my book case.

I'm gonna display mine, but at the moment I don't have any shelf room. I needed to get rid of all of my MTG crap.

MOMC!
 

I keep everything MOMC and wont even buy it unless it's near 100% mint! You guys are told old to open them and play with toys, and if you leave them on shellves they get knocked around and dirty...

Since when can you go around telling people what they're too old to do?

yeah were old enough to do what ever we want.

*Some* of us are. *Points at Garet*

god damn u man, I, *try*, to, be, on, ur, side, but, u, just, have, to, come, up, WITH SUM DUMB ASS REMARK.and im gonna try and predict the future and gusse that ur gonna say sum thing like "geez I was just joking". good day to u sir.

:lol:

Well usually the first set i buy, I open, and then if I can afford it, I'll start buying second's to keep MOSC/MISB. Although there are some exceptions. For example, I am only planning to buy 1 set of the new Extreme Turtles (Purely to complete the series) and so they will stay MOSC. Other examples included old carded figs. My rule is, If I buy old figs carded, they stay carded :)

I buy way too much sh*t to keep them on-card. I'd have to keep half of it in storage.

I open them first, and I might buy seconds of really cool guys. I was thinking of having an open and an MOC collection. but really is there any point? I still need to think about it.
