Ok, assuming you're fortunate enough to have placed an order with HTS and have it shipped, are you going to open your exclusives or keep them mint?

I"m opening my Zarana and Indy set for sure.

I haven't decided. I still have Slaughter from last year unopened. Lack of space really keeps me from opening a lot of things. I've been holding out to make space, then I'll decide. Even if I wait another year or 2. By then I can decide if I really like various figures or if I want to get rid of them.

Already cut the Zarana I ebayed off the card, and you betcher ass I'm opening Starscream and the variant Z when they show up.

I'm a collector and a photographer, so you bet your sweet bippy I'm opening them.

I opened the Starscream I got from eBay. No sense in letting it sit in the box. You can't see it in there!

If I'd been able to get anything, then definitely I would've opened them.

I didn't get anything, but I would definitely open them. Anythign from the 90's till now isn't worth keeping in the box, because there's thousands of of fanboys and speculators and scalpers already doing it. The vintage boxed stuff is valuable because kids played with toys, kids destroyed toys, and parents threw away toys. We collect the survivors of that war. Vintage boxed stuff was mostly happenstance, unsold product from store closing, unreceived gifts, etc. There's maybe a handful to a few hundred examples of some vintage pieces boxed. With current stuff, if they make 10,000, and only 3,000 people open it, then in 10 years you got maybe 5,000 people tryign to unload their MIB collectors items...
If its new, open it.
