If you do intend to open it... then pre-order away!! (this probably isn't the best place to seek advice on not buying a toy, heheheh )
This may shock you but if I was going to buy one I already made my mind up that I was going to open it basically for the same reason you outlined (re: $400-odd for a weighted box). People naturally assume that if someone keeps things MISB they do so for the resale value; not so in my case.

Can you be my sponsor for AAA?

Seriously though, I see the point you are making. Worst case scenario is having to spend more than retail because I passed on the initial release resorting to the second-hand market. If Fort Max is anything like Omega Supreme, Metroplex, Skylink etc. it will be shelf-warming for a while though.

The flip-side to all of this is that if I am undecided on buying something so expensive, I probably shouldn't. I suppose I could always sell it off at a later stage if I ever did change my mind...

Does anyone else have any thoughts / opinions that they could share with me to help me make up my mind?
