The Decision Thread

What should I do with my Commemerative/Spec Ed boxes - ie:

Movie 25th Anniversary Unicron
Anniversary Predaking
YOTS Omega Supreme
Reissue Piranhacon

Bin and recycle. Particularly toys like that Predaking and Piranacon where there's no difference in value boxed or boxless anyway - the boxes are just a waste of space.

I throw all my packagings out. Mainly due to space issues. Threw my SDCC Metroplex out the other day. Didn't shed a single tear.

I've got the original '07 movieverse voyager Ratchet, which I'm now thinking of selling off/'trading in'. Is it worth downsizing to the DotM deluxe, or would it be better to wait for an AoE version?

I recently just bought a G1 Sandstorm in beautiful condition. The figure came with the original unsused sticker sheet, and I'm debating whether to put them on or not.

On the one hand, Sandstorm looks a little bare without stickers. On the other hand, I don't feel right about using stickers that have been saved in pristine condition on the original sheet for the better part of 30 years. The previous owners have been able to preserve the sticker sheet, and I respect that.
Not to mention I worry about the holding power of the glue.
Third option is to use a set of repro labels I suppose.

Thoughts and opinions?

If it helps I have had problems on the past using unused sticker sheets not sticking properly so don't really bother anymore...

Sounds like Repro's are the way to go. Thanks for the opinions guys

In my opinion, the definitive movie Ratchet is the NEST deluxe version.

Thanks. I like the look of that one in robot mode, but for some reason, the fact that it's a 'normal' Hummer with Ratchet's roof rack instead of being the custom Hummer with the modified rear kind of bugs me, even if I'll be displaying it in robot mode most of the time.
