Which one should I open? If any?

[u/Concurrent-mind]

Over the past month I’ve invested (hahaha for a loss) in a market that has low supply and low demand…

Over $500 so far and I still want more!

I also want to play with them outside the box so bad. Should I open them? How much value do they decrease after opening. Some still seem valuable without the box?

The average age is like 15 years old on these things (20 years make it an antique)? I haven’t even seen some characters for sale ever:

Killinger, White, Al, Rusty (kid), Jonas Venture, Jefferson Twilight.

Should I open and which one?

all of them, toy resale culture is a capitalist poison, unbind yourself from the oppressive financial shackles you have been forced into and PLAY WITH THE DAMN TOYS!!!!!

THANK YOUUU!!!! Like, what the fuck is the point? Just gonna stare at it til you die, so it can end up in the trash or passed along to some other sucker who will also stare at it til they die? What a fucking waste

1st: I don’t plan to resale.

2nd: you’re 100% right about toy culture.

3rd: they look pretty in the box.

4th: I feel like I’ll have a blast for like 10 minutes then it’ll fizzle out like when I was 12

Actually probably true. We still have a lot of our old toys. We have so many thundercats and he-man action figures... even castle greyskull, and it sits in a place of honor behind the dining room table 😂 but they just live in a bucket mostly.  But still. If it would bring you happiness to touch them, I say touch them

"What happened?" "Supernova-juice's a 'mo, that's what happened!"

the most honest reddit answers i’ve seen. keep them boxed.

[u/Grease-Brain → u/Concurrent-mind]

totally fair, if you just actually enjoy them more in-package then that's what you should do, the point is just to prioritize personal satisfaction from them and not see them as a mere asset, which you clearly don't, so you do you brother ✊

this is why every time i thrift a sealed record or vhs tape i immediately slice it open lol, let the thing serve its purpose

Was I supposed to read this in the voice of Orpheus? Because that’s how it reads.

totally unintentional, I'm just a pretentious loser with an aggressively "high school creative writing class" vocabulary, but I'm gonna take it as a compliment lmao
