    I totally don't get the box thing. I've spent half the afternoon throwing out superfluous Transformer boxes - they just take up space. And this one doesn't even have a window. Unless it's opened, it's basically a $200 box. Which is expensive. For a box.

    I can understand why someone wouldn't get it but for me it's about the complete package. The best way I can explain it is that the toy and the box compliment each other because they both tell a story for the era that they were released in. For example, G1 box art is just as nostalgic for me as the toys they came packaged in. Some would argue "why don't you just open it and keep the box", however I consider them to be 'time capsules' in a way.

    I hope I've made a little sense in my explanation. Of course everyone is different when it comes to their collecting habits and that's what makes it so great - every collection is individualised and personal.

    But this is what is annoying me. All of what I have to display is out of the box. But for some reason...I felt the need to wanna keep this Predaking tucked away inside. I have no idea why...

    I made the decision to open him today when I got home from work. Then I read this brief discussion. Now I'm confused again. *sigh*

    It doesn't have to be confusing as there is no right or wrong answer. It's a personal decision

    Agree its a personal thing. If you want to open it, then you should go with you inclination and open it. Way I see it, its a reissue and I have no problems with opening reissues.

    (5FDP, the only reason my 2004 reissue Predaking is still sealed is because I have the vintage Takara ones open and didn't need to open the 2004 ones... heh... but now it's become a 'vintage' in itself... and it gets confusing...)
