The Cybertron boxes for the Leader Class figures aren't that sturdy. They're all plastic windows. Go to the store and get em now, while you still have the ability to pick through the shelf for toys in the best condition packaging. Get in on the ground floor, like Rabidmonk did with everything.

EDIT: Six Predaking Giftsets back in the day...truly brilliant...:bowdown:
When I started collecting, I bought 2 of everything, one to keep in a box and one to open and display. When I started tracking down the original ehobby pieces and sawing the prices they fetched (mind you this was like in 2002), I couldn't bring myself to open them. Then I figured I could make a buck or two if I waited, and here we are.

It doesn't matter if you like the figure or not, it's what other people will pay. Hell, I don't really care for half of the TFC line, but I have at least one of each anyway.
