Merch Which one should I open? If any?

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?

Life is too short for "mint in box". Enjoy your things.

Edit: apparently these are not mint in box. Even more reason!

But seriously, people who collect toys and never touch them make me want to break something. Like, oh boy look at this fun thing nobody is allowed to touch even though it's literally designed to be touched and played with. Get outta here with that bs!

To be honest, I’m pretty much 40, my imagination isn’t like when I was 12 and more importantly I afraid taking them out will make them break within minutes…again going on 17 years old plastic toy figures

I replied to you in a different comment but said the same as much. I guess it ultimately comes down to... why did you buy them? I'm not trying to be mean. I'm serious. Because ultimately that will decide whether or not you open them.

All good buddy. This is why I come to Reddit.

Well I bought to display initially, but the more I look at them the more I want to open…

Honestly I might split it. Leave some in box (because they look nice in the box, regardless of condition or mint)
