It's why most of my MISB collection is MISB, I buy faster than I open. I rather spend a few nights, or longer on one toy, getting used to it's design and different modes rather than opening 5 - 10 at once and not getting to know any of them particularly well.
some things I leave MISB for nostalgia/appearance. the SDCC matrix prime from a few years ago and the same year NYCC bumblebee and Arcee are still MISB, I have other versions of all the molds so I don't have the same urge to see how they transform.
you'd probably have about $10
haha, that's a good one
'cause $$ and I like my Tacos fresh.
haha
I'd say definitely the creative side of things, though I find myself posing my toys for photos more regularly and don't feel particularly creative about it, so maybe in that respect I'm more of a fiddler.
