    I don't give a toss about sealed, a lot of toys ARE NOT factory sealed and these are own self shop sealed.

    MISB means nothing for me....oh wait it also means how do you know nothing is broken or missing? Oh and yes believe me things do happen to be missing.

    Applies to anything I collect, not just G1

    I mean as in perfectly MISB as if it travelled through time. Would you take advantage of how much it's worth or just keep?

    Hey Bidoof,

    I selected Other.

    If it was a MISB G1 Transformer of one of my faves (which I collect), then I would definitely keep.

    If it was another character, then I would sell or trade it to buy a MISB G1 Transformer of one of my faves (if I can find one!).

    Keep and open. I don't collect boxes so that would go in the bin

    If I didn't already have it and wanted it, I would break and enter.

    If I already had one I would gift it to someone who would appreciate it.

    If it was one I already have, it'll stay in the box after it was graded. But thats just me.

    I would open it, without hesitation. I'd record me opening it, and put in Youtube if it was considered a "holy grail" while MISB.

    If it was one I have a reissue of I'd leave it MISB but much more likely it would be one I did not or could not get a reissue or even a good quality original of so I'd open it. Everything in my collection is MIB or loose.

    I would keep it and not open it. It's been MISB for 30 years - Who em I to open it and deny people of future years the sight of an MISB G1 Transformer?

    However if its a ridiculously common toy or the box is so messed up that it may as well be opened, I wouldn't really care and just open it.
