I never quite understood this ,people who buy one of each figure but never open the packages ,how much fun is that you can't appreciate the detail ,the texture ,the ability to pose them and just to touch them (ok i'm setting myself up for a bad joke here),only to look at them in a "plastic sarcophagus' like you would look at a ancient Egyptian mummy at the museum .
If people do this as an investment i can maybe understand ,because alot of people my age are seeing this as a second chance to reverse a wrong by not opening them and hoping in twenty years down the road they can say "i never opened them" and feel vindicated for the reckless packaging opening they did when they were kids at Christmas ?
But if i was going to invest i would invest in stocks or bonds or real estate ,not plastic toys .
And one other thing sealed toys are harder to display and take up so much room ,there's only one solution to this liberate your Joe's from the plastic prison !
