Comments on: Action Figures Left in their Packages? Not When I was a Kid. http://www.retroist.com/2009/01/19/action-figures-left-in-their-packages-not-when-i-was-a-kid/ Retro Blog and Podcast Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:23:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jason http://www.retroist.com/2009/01/19/action-figures-left-in-their-packages-not-when-i-was-a-kid/comment-page-1/#comment-17988 Jason Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:09:21 +0000 http://www.retroist.com/?p=1800#comment-17988 I'll agree with Ugly American. Any toy was removed from it's card/box, as soon as we hit the car. Probably only took a couple of seconds. Nowadays, I collect toys, but not all of them stay in the box or on the card. For example, last weekend, I bought a Transformers Animated Skywarp, and he is standing on my coffee table. There are some toys, that I keep in the original packaging(i.e.-NECA Donatello). But I don't think children should be "collecting" so to speak. If the kid is into it, fine. If that's the case, buy 2, so he can play with one and keep one MOSC. I couldn't imagine, as a child, not opening, even one toy. I’ll agree with Ugly American. Any toy was removed from it’s card/box, as soon as we hit the car. Probably only took a couple of seconds.

To leave a toy in the package is just wrong. The collector value is only worth what someone wants to pay for it. I say break it out and play with it. More memoirs are made playing then looking.
