Any of you guys not into the whole one to keep on card and one to open and just do one or the other? What if a figure breaks?

I used to do that. then I realized I rather enjoy all my figures so now I open everything. I only buy multiples of army builders.

I want to open ReAction cartoon Baroness without damaging the card too much, but it doesn't have that bottom gap where there's no glue on the bubble to the card.

Can you use an exacto-knife to cut the plastic shell just above the bend (leaving the glued part on the card)? Retro Stalker is the only figure I bought a pair of. One opened, one kept MOC. I did a slight custom that I keep on my drawing table and when the rugrat is older, the MOC will be opened. |

I literally can't not open anything. Now that I think about it, I have another Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow o-ring set still in a box that I'm really fighting the urge to open and I already have an open set! So why do I want to open the second set??? I don't get it!

Rules of 3.
One graded. One MOC . one to display. This is the way.

I'm only into buying one of something, if it's general release it usually gets opened...if it's 25th or Retro themed I keep it MOC cause the card's part of the presentation. I'll pick up 2nds if it's overstock on sale that someone is trying to get rid of.

I did the whole two thing but lately Im making room so been getting rid of the doubles. It is hard though cause the card art of some of the older stuff is awesome. The things I am having a hard time getting rid of though are my favorites. Not necessarily the one of each of something but the numerous of each of something. For instance, The retro storm shadow I have several of. Like more than 3 but is a favorite so having a hard time getting rid a few of them. I don't really need more than that. Same with the ultimate storm shadow from retaliation. Have 2 off the card and 4 on it. Don't even really need it. Used to be that I would have one off, one on, and then another in case the loose broke and then I could fix it. I might have a problem.

I left the Wal-Mart retro collection MOC/MIB, but I've opened all my Classified stuff (with the exception of Deluxe Zartan and Amazon Storm Shadow). I'm not too fussed with keeping things packaged with an eye toward future worth. The main reason I didn't open the Wal-Mart retro stuff is because I don't like displaying 4" stuff, but I still liked the look of the figures, so I still wanted them. I have them all (including the vehicles) in acrylic display cases, so I can display them that way, without opening them.
I am keeping all of the packaging, though, as selling the collection in the future will net me more if I include the original packaging, even if it's been opened. |
