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:

That's more than enough to make Predakings with arms and legs made out of the same Predacon

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.

I would tell everyone to go ahead and open any of the packages you want. You were a TF fan before you were a collector, so that makes it ok.














Besides, with fewer MISB items around, it will drive up the prices for the rest of us :rick:
