I'm having a dilema. To open the comic packs to get the doc sticker or too not and just buy an extra set for that purpose. Has any1 pondered this? I'm sure in a month or so the packs will be readily avaliable, but its going to end up costing around 130 total to have six sealed packs and 6 open packs. I just think its cool to have the doc stickers still sealed in the pack 5 years down the road, not for money value, but for the unopenedness of it.if that makes sense to you.

Many times have I seen MOC original joes with the flag points cut away or ripped off.Its just looks bad and im usually a MOC unopened guy except a few occasions, what do you think?

I'm not a good one to answer this because I have never been any good at all at not opening packages, but I will anyway. That's the joy of these open forums.

The only ones I have managed to leave unopened so far are the 3 extra 5 packs that I already have the loose figures from anyway.

I plan to buy one of each of the Comic Packs I actually like and when I get to six (sometime in the middle of Wave 3), I'll send for my Doc, which I will open when it arrives.

Besides, if you want to know what happens to mint in box toys, just watch Toy Story 2...

What do you mean that isn't real???

The way the packaging is you can open them and remove them and then reseal them. Only you would know they are gone, just don't return them after doing that.

You could always just buy a doc on ebay once they start shipping. Probably for cheaper than $65, but you never really know.

there are five comic packs already, and another 4 confirmed, all of which will have the Doc sticker. so, you can buy all nine, open 6 for Doc, and still have 3 sealed with a Doc sticker inside without buying multiples. no dilemma at all if that is all you are interested in.

My GOD, The reason these things are so cool is the memories you build from playing with them, if you never open them you don't know the fun you're missing.
