I'm on the fence with this one. Half I open, half I don't. try to get two of each so I can do both.

Except when it comes to G1 (including reissues).

Gok stated my exact position when he relayed his own....

We all collect G1 figures for nostalgic value (except maybe for benben2142 ) - but to me, having them open and being able to apply their stickers and play with them gives me more nostalgia because I dunno about you, but I always opened and played with my Transformers when I was a kid! Keeping a G1 figure sealed does nothing for my sense of nostalgia as it was something that I would never even fathom of doing as a child
