I have a 3 year old son... which was the main reason why I decided to put my entire collection of Joes, Transformers, etc... into boxes and effectively in storage.
I have another son coming in a month (or less).
I'm not a MISC or MISB type of collector. I like to open EVERYTHING... I have maybe 5 vintage that are MISC/MISB because I bought them that way and they are duplicates of the ones that I've opened.
The 25th has restarted my collecting... but so far, I've kept most of it unopened. And will eventually have to get boxed and into storage.
The plan is to eventually bring them all out of boxes and display them again once the boys get big enough and/or I get a room that I would lock.
The thought of opening them in several years (I'm thinking around 5 years or so, realistically) is intriguing and exciting... BUT... keeping them all carded and in boxes takes up a lot of space.
So my options are:
1. Open them, bag them, box them, storage
or
2. Leave them carded/boxed, box them, storage
Which would you do? |

| | Three Stars And A Sun Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Manila, Philippines Posts: 402 | If you're going to open them for display, why not buy or build a display case that you can lock instead of a room. It'll save you space as opposed to boxes and will still keep the young ones from playing with them and accidenatlly breaking or losing the small parts...

One to open
A backup to keep for the collector side of you.

That way I can remove them but also put them back in & they look MOSC. The bubble flips open like a door. Best of BOTH worlds! | |
