    Default What would you do with the value of a Valuable MISB/MOSC Transformer

    Hi all, just a random survey here.

    So, you were just randomly given a legit, valuable MISB G1 Transformer that you kind of like? What would you do in this situation? Keep it MISB and display, open it, sell it for pure profit, sell and buy a cheaper one?


    Just a hypothetical question here, but it's interesting what peoples' views are on that kind of thing.


    EDIT: Ok, since things aren't going so well in terms of mutual understanding, I've changed the title to kind of open up what's being asked.

    I would keep it MSIB...

    Even if I didn't already own the figure.

    Keep it MISB, maybe have it graded, then display it on my shelf.

    I don't give a toss about sealed, a lot of toys ARE NOT factory sealed and these are own self shop sealed.

    MISB means nothing for me....oh wait it also means how do you know nothing is broken or missing? Oh and yes believe me things do happen to be missing.

    Applies to anything I collect, not just G1

    I mean as in perfectly MISB as if it travelled through time. Would you take advantage of how much it's worth or just keep?

    Wow, I'm glad I misinterpreted the point of this thread! When you asked...

    What would you do if you recieved a valuable MISB G1 Transformer

    ...I thought you were asking if I would commit murder for you or compromise myself sexually or somthing. And that question made me feel uncomfortable because I am a happily married and faithful man, but I don't wanna think about how far I could be corrupted if someone offered me a MISB Overlord But I suppose that question would be phrased 'What would you do for a valuable MISB G1 Transformer"



    For the record, I'd keep it because it was a gift, but open and display it

    In other news, I'm starting a collection to raise money to buy a MISB Overlord to taunt Trev with.

    Donate today, and vote on what horrible and debauched thing we can make him do for it.

    I'd treat it less like a gift and more like it just popped up out of nowhere.

    Also, is there a way we could merge Keep MISB with Keep open into one keep thing?
