I keep all my G1 and G2 packaging, yes.

In the spirit of Rampage's emancipation of Classic Brawl, here's my liberation from this evening:



Now the only Classic Protectobot limb I've never freed from a card is Streetwise. Time for me to hunt one down...

P.S. Hmm... the board's acting funny tonight... unless it's just my computer: it took about four minutes for that message to post and nothing else seems to be working either. Regarding First Aid: yes, again, some might think it's overkill, but at least I know it's not a bootleg.

meh, it's only a reissue.

These days i cant be bothered opening stuff, specially stuff thats older then i am, i dont think id open a MISB fort max.

They're safer in their packaging

[heroic_decepticon]

fortunately for some of us then, these G1 TFs are not older us.

but like liegeprime said, gotta open it to ensure that you didn't just pay for a box of bricks

I opened G2 green Slag;





Was a great experience, really nice to have a vintage (?) toy this perfect. It triggered a bit of a dinobot phase in my collecting. Got a very similar feeling when I opened my Prime reissues (25th and encore).

I also liberated a few Centurions (Max Ray & 2 Jake Rockwells) which were 80's vintage misb... awesome feeling.

You can't play with a toy that's not opened! Toys are meant to be played with!

Of course you can! It just limits the articulation somewhat...
