MP sealed or unsealed? What's your opinion?

[theheretic]

Of the 5 that I own, 5 are open and 4 are posed and on display.
If you're a MISB kinda guy though, I'd say keep them that way or if you can afford to do so - Buy a second of each.

Unfortunately I can't afford to :-( But I am thinking I'll keep my 20th anni prime and get a cheaper DVD anni prime and open him along with the rest of my MP's

Then that sounds like a plan dude , just count yourself lucky that you're not having to ask yourself this question with an MP-04 in mind.

i have a few in various conditions

MP prime is open
MP Megatron is sealed and locked away in a secret location
MP Prime with trailer is MISB
Hasbro Skywarp is MISB
MP Starscream MISB
Hasbro Starscream is open
MP Grimlock open
MP Rodimus MISB

i guess it all depends on what you like in the end. you shouldnt really let anyone dictate or suggest how you should collect items for your enjoyment

in most cases i beleive that my MP's should be opened and displayed nicely behind glass...and when i have the room and the resources to do it i will be opening the sealed ones...

Of the 7 MP's I own 6 are on display and all are played with on occasion.
Let them free unless the law stipulates otherwise

My MP's are opened except MP Megatron, I decided to keep this one MISB.

I don't have MP Rodimus yet, but would most likely open it as well.

I'm a MIB collector, so all my toys are played with as well but I do still keep the boxes!

Most people here would guess that my automatic response would be to keep them sealed (being a primarily MISB collector), but in the case of MP toys I have made somewhat of an exception.

The only ones I have MISB are 20th anniversary Prime and Skywarp. Grimlock I opened mainly because he looks better in bot mode and it was a space decision as well; MP Megs and Ultra Magnus I opened because Takara neglected to add a window to their boxes

In summary and to hopefully give you some guidance, my decision to open some of my MP toys was based on display value and / or whether or not I had the space. Just make sure you're comfortable with the decision you make because once you break that seal, there's no going back

[theheretic]

Thanks guys. Very helpful. Decision is to wait until I have a nice glass display case and then crack those boys open, with the exception of 20th prime which I will try to get a cheap mp prime from somewhere to have on display. I just feel like all that great toy is wasted being stuck in a box. I'm looking forward to Hasbro Rodimus too. I'm only getting te Hasbro stuff... as I don't read or speak Japanese. LOL. That and they tend to be a bit more pricey

My MP's sitting at about 50/50 opened to sealed, all will be opened and displayed but at the moment I'm re-organising my mess so I can finish painting the walls in my TF room so I can hang some pictures and finish setting up my higildy pigildy display cases/bookcases

[Shirokaze]

Like my entire collection, the MPs are open. Not displaying Starscream at the moment though.
