Opening Toys from the Collection

[Zippo]

Over the years I have collected quite a few toys that I am now in the process of selling off as I refocus the collection. During that time I have collected a few toys that I wouldn't mind opening, but never did as I couldn't afford to get a second or talked myself out of it.

However now that I am selling, I am thinking - should I open rather than sell?

What are your thoughts?
Some examples of items I want to open are Micron Legend Jetfire, Superlink Grand Convoy (pitty I sold Wing Saber), Galaxy Force Master Galvatron, BW II Magnaboss.

Cheers

Open. You spent that much money on them, you might as well use them!

In the words of Ultra Magnus - "Open, dammit, open."

or you could open the ones you have always wanted to open see how much you like it, and then if you dont like it sell it anyway.

Dude, open them. Like, right now. If you've never had any experience with them outside of looking at the pretty box, how will you know what you'd miss out on if you just sold them off?

I wonder Zippo, are these toys you have other opened versions of? Armada Jetfire, Energon Prime, Cybertron Galvatron, Beast Wars Magnaboss? I find it very easy to keep repaints unopened because I already know what the toy is like and how to transform it that it's a bit boring to open another version of the same toy.

OPEN OPEN OPEN

...just my opinion :P

I have noticed that I am not an operer by nature. If the toy is over a year old, I probably will struggle to actually open it even if I brought it for the purpose of opening. Others however I will open like I was a kid getting my first toy for Xmas.

I have BW Magnaboss somewhere MIB, but the II version looks so much better, while the others are items that I wanted to open and never got doubles off. The only one I have played with before is ML Jetfire, and again the ML version looks way better than the Armada one.
