I'm pleased to say iv'e never felt like opening them. The pachageing is all part of the thrill. And if i want anything to do with a loose figure iv'e got a box full of them.

Sealed ships i suppose could be differn't as you can't see the pachageing unless you open the box or buy the pachageing.

Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?

In time you will call me master.

I've opened plenty of beaten vintage carded figures over the years only to secure in the knowledge that the weapons and accessoires were original.

Plus there is also the buzz of that toxic plastic fumes. man, that will never go away. TIE Fighter Pilots were the best!!!!

if its a vintage character on card mint in package i would never open it but if it were a new character from todays line i might because i can just go to the store and get another for my collection but vintage well its hard to find those mint in package let alone they are going to cost more than just a few bucks

memories like that are never forgotten, especially here in the star wars universe where every moment will be cherished forever

My current loose display cabinet smells strongly of that plastic new figure smell, its pretty addictive. The only trouble is that several of the figures are 'sweating' which makes me wonder if they should be isolated from the others?

Does the plastic degrade over time and one day our star wars figures will be no more? Is this what causes some figure's to have a yellow bubble?
