I'm a loose collector... I've kept my 1/1000 collection MOC simply because they look better that way and because I will be selling them if I need money, they look better filling the empty space above my door and because they're basics which I dont collect.
If I should ever feel the need to spend an absurd amount of money on a 1/100 or 1/500 then that too I would keep MOC, just because of re-sale value.
I dont buy for profit anymore not like I used to, If I need money now I have 2 huge boxes of figure parts and heads so I can make customs.

I like to keep everything MOC but if I really like a figure that much, if my budget allows it then I will buy a double of it.

I open mine because I have no intention on selling my collection. Also because my fiancee would kill me if I turned our room into a Toys R Us aisle. lol

I have left all my Legends/Flashback/Classic and 1/1000 MOC. Everything else is loose in the display waiting to fall to their doom from loose ankle syndrome.

Everything else is loose in the display waiting to fall to their doom from loose ankle syndrome. lmao that reminds me....has anybody notice that the BAF PPV Elite series from TRU (bret hart, daniel bryan, HHH, and john cena) are like the worst figures? Is it just me? They are made so poorly, all my torsos are so loose they can't even stand straight, and the ankles dont even allow them to stand at all. its only those figures, all my other figures are great. And i dont even play with them so its not from being used. out of the box they were shit!

I never open any of my figures although I do buy customs from other users occasionally as I don't have much experience with customization with acetone and paint.

I enjoy having both moc & loose.... If you collect as many figures as I do you get to the point where you have to open a few.......ya know what I mean....brotha?!

I open them, mainly to check there are no stuck joints and all the articulation is perfect. Had so many stuck wrists and hip ball joints stick on Elites so had to get a refund or replacement.

I have always opened my figures but now I'm getting into the habit of keeping them MOC, but 95% of my collection is loose

i know alot of people who dont open theyre figures because they think itll decrease the value. this is somewhat true i guess, but i have seen the same figure in box going for around the same price loose in great condition. personally, i dont see the point in collecting if you arent going to open them and play with them, set them up, pose them, etc. your thoughts? It really don't decrease the value with elites because as long as you don't damage the packaging, you can easily re package it back up to the MOC look for resale and it would be worth just as much as someone who kept there figure in the box for 20 years. So if your collecting elites, might as well open them and enjoy them. Just save your packaging. These figures are so mass produced that it's hard to get any value from them. The only way they are going to be worth cash is if you have a really really really rare figure like a 1 out of 1000 or less and you still have that figure in packaging like the legends packaging or basics/ battle packs packaging. Other than that, you could open your elites, play with them or display them loose for 20-30 years and repackage them when you sell them and they will still be worth as much as someone who didn't open there's for that long.
