I traded my 1 of 500 HHH last week for a couple of things. One of those things was an RA 1 Lesnar figure MOC. Now this has been my biggest want for many years now since I had passed on this when it came out for a few reasons. I eventually regretted my decision and was upset over it for a while. But now, on June 23rd 2008 I have received an RA 1 Lesnar MOC. It's like unreal I finally have this. But now that I have it, I can't decide if I should open it or keep it MOC. My whole collection is mostly loose except for 4 or 5 figures, but this Lesnar is special now. I know it's worth a lot, but value doesn't matter because I'd never sell it. Someone brought up a good point also, and that is once the UFC figures come out this may not be worth anything anymore. But really, it's either keep it MOC, or open it for my loose collection and use it. Help me out, I appreciate it! EDIT- Thanks for all the replies guys. I just opened it, and I love it. I'm very happy I opened it and it's now part of my loose collection. I just added a set of the new knee/elbow pads to him and he looks great. I appreciate the help. Also wanted to add, opening this figure really shows how Jakks has went downhill quailty wise. Every joint on this figure is nice and tight, not too tight but just perfect. The arms are perfect, the hands, boots, wow this is really something!!!! |

IMO I would open it, because you wanted it right? And I bet you didn't just want the Lesnar to stare at, but play with it. Open it, and have fun.
Mind telling me what else u traded the 1 in 500 for?

well I would say do what you feel is best, but I see that you can´t really decide ... well I personally would keep it MOC ... I also have most of my Collection loose, expect for CS figs, but I also keep some more rare figures MOC ... so my advice would be keep it MOC

I have wanted it, oh yes I have lol! All in all, I traded my 1 of 500 HHH for the following- - AD 28 Mr. Kennedy loose - BNB 1 Undertaker loose - $10 bucks cash. - And of course the RA 1 Brock moc. I also got a Strecther and WM 2000 ringskirt for two bucks with the rest. |

If you don't plan on selling it, open it. They're made for play or/and display. Not to keep in boxes...

Said this many times, if you are a MOC collector then keep it closed but if you are a loose collector then I think you should open it.

I say keep it MOC for a while because if you are undecided and open it you cant put it back. and if you just cant stand it anymore, open it. BTW Congratulations for finally getting it, hope you make the right choice.

Just open the figure, bro. It's no good sitting in the box. I have the figure and it's awesome but on my figure, the damn left arm keeps falling off  |

Mines open. And packed away in a bin with most of the RA's. I just have CS,CSDA, DA and a few few RA's displayed now. (along with BnB) But if you are a loose collector open it.

If you would never sell it, and the majority, if not all, of your collection is loose, I would say open it.
Of course, value is always a hot topic around here, but if you really want it for your loose collection, than make it happen.

Glad you decided to open it. IMO there is nothing like opening the figure, smelling it fresh (they give off a different smell when they're just opened), and appreciating the details loose.  |

For real. I knew I was going to open my 1/500 RA29 Edge as soon as I found it, because it's just one of those things where I couldn't let it go, no matter what I could get for it. Same for my formerly-MOC CSDA collection. I had almost the entire first three sets, minus Series 3 Taker, all still on the carding and one day I just felt like opening them. All of them, including Series 1 The Rock and Stone Cold, just because I felt like I would regret selling them if I did. It's always good to do what you feel is best for you and never let yourself have any regrets over stuff even as unimportant as plastic toys. Enjoy that RA1 Lesnar.  |
