I don't know about the rest of you, but I love having that satisfying feeling of ripping open the package and playing with or posing your figures. What about the rest of you?
Heh, realized this a LONG time ago.
Thankfully, long before the 25th line came around, so I didn't fall into that "trap".
Me, I would rather have them loose. Philosophically, I don't see them being "MOC" as their original, untouched condition anyway. These were handled to a certain degree during construction and packaging. To me, that's the original condition.
As far as value, I will admit that I've left a few things in package - my SDCC Destro (both the PDD and the movie one - that movie packaging is so nice, I couldn't help but leave it in there! I still need a loose one though...), clear Wraith, SDCC King Grayskull. Usually the primary factor is that I probably wouldn't display them anyway - for example, I've got the regular Wraith with my Cobras, so I might as well just keep the clear one in package for now, until I change my mind.
I can understand wanting a MOC collection, but it's just not for me. I feel like I can have a much more impressive collection that includes rare and foreign figures like Cobra de Aco, PDD, etc if I stick to loose/mint figures. I mean, that can get seriously expensive as it is, but there's no way I would be able to get all that MOSC!
