keep their sideshow line in their boxes? i don wanna open them up although displaying these figures would be the norm. its jus too expensive and the only way of gettin them displayed is when u get two of each. my plan is to open up the normal versions and keep the exclusives but financially that would be hard..

Free them! Free them all!! I rip them open the second I get them (well, not really - I gently open the boxes so I don't mar anything). I love to display mine. I'm buying them for the sheer love of the product - I'm buying them so I can look at them lovingly and admire them. I just wouldn't get the same joy out of them if I kept them all packaged up and I see no point in owning them just to keep them confined in their boxes. I still have all the boxes and I've packed them away so if I do want to sell them "someday" I'll have their boxes to send along with them. Honestly, I've seen some of the Spike figures selling for tremendous amounts and it seems to make no difference to the buyers whether or not they were never opened as long as they are still coming with their box.
Again, my philosophy is why buy if you can't enjoy them fully.

Mine are all still packaged. I don't do it for money reasons, I just prefer how they look in the boxes  |

OPEN!! definately my whole collection is displayed. Why keep it boxed, its looks better displayed i think. My whole collection is based around the display. But I also keep the boxes coz theyre lovely too.

Mine are still in boxes, but one day i want to get a cabinet and display them. I don't have a problem opening the sideshow boxes cos the figures can easily go back in. But i'm pretty anal with my dst ones and don't open them.
