A Predacon freed is is an essential deed! ;)
you couldve sold those boxes;), Im sure someone here is looking for a box of something:D:D. I dont , I like em free.... the game room is their home:) although I do have some I have still kept in their box and am contemplating on if I should take out ...... Ehobby Deep cover I bought from you;)Quote:

Some would argue "why don't you just open it and keep the box", however I consider them to be 'time capsules' in a way.Quote:

But this is what is annoying me. All of what I have to display is out of the box. But for some reason...I felt the need to wanna keep this Predaking tucked away inside. I have no idea why...Quote:

It doesn't have to be confusing as there is no right or wrong answer. It's a personal decision :)Quote:

I'ma kill someone if the 2010 releases become vintage after I've opened them :p
Well, I've placed my order. Just waiting for it to be shipped!
