    I would keep it and not open it. It's been MISB for 30 years - Who em I to open it and deny people of future years the sight of an MISB G1 Transformer?

    However if its a ridiculously common toy or the box is so messed up that it may as well be opened, I wouldn't really care and just open it.

    I opened a MISB Encore Convoy the other day, thats kinda like opening a MISB G1 toy. And you know what, it was fun!!!

    Open them! Unless it's a MISB Black Zarak, it's worth more MISB than it will be when you break it.

    I think the spirit of the thread is the opening of vintage toys not reissues which are technically modernly produced and easily available toys.

    I open reissues all the time.

    Obviously I've been under a rock because I haven't heard that before and it's bloody hilarious

    I don't keep any MISB transformer toys but if I were to find myself in a situation which is the subject of this thread, I will definitely keep it MISB.
