I'm opening my 25th items that I had in storage for a few years while in college. I had no clue I owned these vehicles MIB; what kind of collector value do they have? I've got the HISS, Night Spectre, & Awe Striker. I've checked eBay and it seems they go for somewhere in the $30 range. I'm not certain I want to sell them cause I never owned the SHARC or the Awe Striker. I'm not certain I want to open them either; I like the packaging but if I open them I can put them in my vehicle bookshelf and put figures in them.

If you want to play with them then open them... If you just want to look and maybe sell...don't open...

They are pretty affordable. Get an extra set. Open one, keep the other boxed. Those are the rules I collect by

I'm not really into buying one to open one to keep MIB, so I guess I'll open them eventually. I'm not opening them to play with; the only reason I'm considering keeping them in the box is because of the packaging.

Had to open mine, the boxes got destroyed when my basement flooded and ruined my collection, lol. No biggie, there will always be enough MIB on eBay.

I've never owned the Awe Striker or the SHARC so that makes me want to open them, I guess I'll keep the HISS MIB so that way I have one of them in the cool packaging.

A LOT of folks bought those 2 at a time. The value is maybe a little over retail, but not much.

I am pretty sure just the awe striker, which came with crankcase in this set,is the only one out of the 3 thats goes for a few bucks. The night spectre is very common and that hiss is in the mid range, thus leaving the awe a little more sought after out of the three.
Maybe that will help you with your decision.

I'm not hearing that there is any real collector value so I'll open them, and some of you are right-toys are for playing with.

The retail on these was like 9.99 I think, the 25th went up to 14.99. The hiss with that cool snow camo trooper should be worth something as well as the awe striker.

I like the "get an extra set" idea. Best of both worlds if you're on the fence. I'm not really a MIB collector, but the new packaging is great because it takes away any temptation to leave the vehicles MIB.

Open, open, open, no toy should be kept in their plastic prison.

I've opened each vehicle and I cut out the filecards; I really like the Awe Striker, can someone recommend good figures to ride in it?

I'm about to open my 25th ultimate battle pack. It seems that on ebay its not selling sealed up but in parts. It's taking up alot of space in my pace to cause the packaging is so big. What do ya'll think I should do?

25th Battle Pack is not going for very much, I'd open it cause many of my boxes were taking up too much room too.

I'm going to put Red Star in the passenger seat; he's one of my favorites.

I've not only opened my 25th vehicles I opened the rest of my ROC figures too; now my only MOC items are my 25th singles and 2006 convention figures.

I went through a spell where I bought two of everything so I could open one and keep the other sealed but newer stuff I haven't because the prices have gone up. I don't feel as bad opening them up though cuz a lot of stuff still goes for decent prices loose. Usually stuff that I absolutely know I won't get rid of I open.
