If I didn't already have it and wanted it, I would break and enter.
If I already had one I would gift it to someone who would appreciate it.
Keep/display MISB, I like that stuff
Open and keep for play/display
Sell it and buy a loose complete one, to make some money

If it was one I already have, it'll stay in the box after it was graded. But thats just me.

I would open it, without hesitation. I'd record me opening it, and put in Youtube if it was considered a "holy grail" while MISB.
...good thing mine is safely under lock and key, then.
Open or sell, subject to which one it was. If it was a G1 that I already have (usually in Encore form) or don't want for my own collection, then sell; if it was one I want but don't have (eg. a Decepticon city-bot) open, keep, and enjoy.
Assuming that I don't already have this toy, I would open the toy and play with it. Cos that's what toys are for.So I voted for that. In the event that I don't have the toy, then I would keep it sealed for display.
I wouldn't sell it... I don't believe in selling gifts. Also receiving something as a gift holds a great deal of sentimental value. If someone gave me a toy that I already had a sealed one of, then I'd sell the first sealed one and still keep the one that I received for free. For example, I have a loose Goldbug and a MOSC Goldbug. If someone were to give me a free MOSC Goldbug, I would keep that new MOSC Goldbug and sell the previous MOSC Goldbug, that way I would be selling the one that I paid money for, and not the one that I got for free.
The dilemma would be if I received a MOSC toy where I already previously received one for free as a gift! Mind you, I've never received a spare MOSC G1 Transformer before as a gift (well, not since I was a kid, in which case my mother would just regift it).

[COLLECTION] [CREATIVE] [MK COLLECTION]
i voted to keep it misb , but that'd totally depend on the situation of how it was 'given'
If it was one I have a reissue of I'd leave it MISB but much more likely it would be one I did not or could not get a reissue or even a good quality original of so I'd open it. Everything in my collection is MIB or loose.
Ill keep it MISB and display it like that ... i like it have it cause it valuable and hard to come by in that condition , as i don't collection G1 so playability is not a factor for me just the rarity of it ...
