ok, so a week ago, I went to Wal-Mart around 8:30PM and was shocked to find the real fur Gonzales there in the front peg. Of course, I picked it up, but now I'm debating whether or not to open it or even trade/sell it. I'm a loose collector, but I wouldn't mind keeping it MOC, but at the same time, I want to open it to see how it is, but then again, I also wouldn't mind selling it or trading it. So, I figured I'd get some help from you guys. Also, please give me your opinion, and don't go with the "It's yours, do whatever the hell you want with it" cause I want to hear your guys opinions to give me an idea. Also, if I were to trade it, will it be a good deal to trade it for an RA 1/500 figure? If you guys say bad deal, can you explain who gets ripped off? Thanks to all. Here's a pic of it:  |

I'd find a normal Gonzales if you wanted a loose one. The fur will keep better in the box.

moc, like the above said find a regular if you want to open one. the moc should be worth a good chunk of change and can only go up i'd think.

I opened mine but that is because I'm a loose collector. If you are looking for resale value in the future then I'd leave it MOC. If not...then open it up and enjoy it.

If I were you, I would sell it and use the money to purchase both a regular CS16 Gonzalez and some of Ralph's fur accessories if having it is that important to you.
Opening it without considering the value just wouldn't be a smart decision, but it's your choice really.

ANOTHER ONE IN CALIFORNIA?!! I reckon every single one has only made it as far as California, did you check if they had more? Other Californians seem to find multiples. Have any been found anywhere else yet?
I would open it for sure if I got it at retail, I've got one on the way but after paying alot for it I'm reluctant to open it, especially considering that I already have the other 2 versions of GG.
Definately DON'T swap it for a 1/500 RA, those suposed 1/500s are just regular figures with a belt that is one of about 5000 not 500. The 1/500 GG is alot more special in terms of rarity, you should get two RA 1/500s for it ( maybe not the ECW belt yet but when there's a load of them it'll be very common too)

IMO, it would be a waste to open a 1/500 real fur Gonzales when you could easily get a regular edition Gonzales to have loose. I mean, come on . . . . it's not that importaint to know what the fur feels like. If it is, play with a regular Gonzales while petting a cat.

I'm also a loose collector, so I opened mine. Since I don't really have a desire to display stuff MOC, it would have been pointless to keep it that way, at least for me.
For whoever's keeping track: yep, mine's also from California.

I'd open it... But when I buy figures, I never have any plans of reselling them...
