For example, I buy at least 2 to keep in the package, dependent on the figure, then 1 to take out of the package and display, but I am very picky about which ones I display. Usually the characters from the vintage lineups 1982 - 1986.

all loose. i don't collect vehicles or anything still in the package/on the card. i army build (Troopers, Vipers, BATs, Greenshirts, etc.) and have just one version of all other characters (eg. 1982-style Snake Eyes only, 1986-style Hawk only, battle-armor CC only, etc.). i get definitely one of every figure based on the 1982-1990 era, and most of any other original or not figure released. i have everything displayed on 10" high x 28" wide x 12" deep bookshelves.

Well so far I have opened everything. The Joes are displayed on a dresser in my bedroom. All the cobras are in a big rubbermaid container. Eventually will find a place for the Cobras.

My entire 25th collection is free from the confines of a plastic prison. I open everything. It saves space to do such.

I try to open at least one of each to display, but I am running out of room. I also keep MOC of every single one. I army build, so half of my army are carded and the other half loose. I just don't have the time to open everything. These Joes are taking over my House.

I pretty much only buy Joes and only buy the ones that look like they can be in the cast of Predator. LOL. Basically; if the are wearing green, tan, or brown I buy them. If they look like they are going jogging at night I pass on them. LOL. I am on the fence with Airborne; he's so awesome, but his blue vest is a tad bit too blue for me. LOL. Will probably cave in and buy him eventually though.
