Should i open this toy set or should i leave it closed?

[Lunastep 34]

My sister recently bought me a My little Pony Wedding set with 3 really good figures. Should i open the box and put the characters on the shelf or should i leave the box closed?

Heres a picture:

Did she buy it for her self?

[Twiliscael 3,958]

Trick question.

Open them AND keep the box closed afterwards :3

 

Seriously, I'd open them. If I had 'em, there's a possibility probability that I'd play with them.

Don't judge me.

[TheBronyHeart 2,640]

hmmm thats the blind bag twilight sparkle... And those are the best quality that I have seen. Is it YOURS, you said your sister bought it? if its yours than I would say open it up and put it on a shelf!

[Evilshy 5,089]

If she bought it FOR you, I'd say open and display them. If she didn't, then obviously you can;t just open her stuff unless she says you can.

[Lunastep 34]

To be clear she bought it for me, she bought herself a cloudsdale set and she opened it. Im just wondering if i should open mine too

[Vicke 3,187]

This is what i do.

I keep them in the box because of the value on it.

And when you cant buy it annymore i will probably sell it.

and yes, i do think its nicer to have them in thier boxes.

Thats what i was thinking, in the future i can just sell this and then get newer items with the money i have. I mean the point of collectibles is to buy them, hold on to them then sell them to get newer things right? Plus they look epic in the box

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I think I would keep them in the box, just because it probably is more safe (if your going to save them rather then play with them) to be in the box. Also they would be worth more if left in the original packaging.

[Apple Bloom 2,915]

It's really up to you, but if it were me, I would open it. Ponies must be free of their plastic prisons! As for the trade, that depends on which one you prefer, doesn't it? Of course, you could keep Cadance and get the Cloudsdale set later.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

I would open it. The box is more of a showcase thing and I would enjoy them more if they were free haha.

[Final Rainbow 8]

I'd definately open it up, it looks way better when they stand on a shelf, free, as they are supposed to be^^

[Sweet Jewels 25]

Its entirely a preference thing. Some people like opening their collectables, some don't (as this thread clearly shows). In terms of reselling collectables to get new ones, that's something I don't understand personally. Collectables are to collect... so why would you sell them? Unless it's not something you really want, I suppose.

 

Basically, do whatever you want XP

[spaghettinoodles 297]

I'd open it, I always open my pony stuff. I don't care if it loses some of its value as a result, I don't see the point in purchasing a pony toy if you never even take it out.

This, theres no way I can leave a pony in a box/packaging! As for the trade, personally I would go for it, but thats up to you to decide. Witch one do YOU perfer?

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

Open it and then start a big collection and have them all lined on a shelf or something, that's what I would do

[Valureon 93]

I would open it up and put them on my shelves or desk or something..... I would display them somewhere

But seriously its up to you... I you think its better they stay in the box... then keep them in the box.

[Regality 233]

I'd leave it closed. Who knows, MLP: FIM could be TV's greatest sensation in the future.

Unless you were really, really serious about possibly selling them back at a later date then I’d just go ahead and open them if I were you and display them, I mean it was a gift from your sis and she’d probably like to see them in your room. Plus we can all use ponies lying around in our rooms.

[Simcity11100 770]

I have 17 ponies in boxes that I never opened and and 3 from McDonald's that I opened, overall I don't care what people say, I keep them closed.

[pinkiefan1287 610]

For me it would be all about do I have the space to open it. For me I don't have much space so anything I get like an action figure I keep it in the box. I would keep it in the box, because it looks good in the box. Then if u want sell it online.

[Sweet Jewels 25]

Yeah, that's a good idea! It's def something I would do too... who cares that I've got ponies next to my xbox?

[kirbyboi 587]

Well, OPEN THEM!

 

But, before you open them, open the box cleanly and nicely. Let's say you decide you want to sell them, you can put them in the box (with the plastic that holds the toys).

 

But seriously, open them. I play with observe my pony toys all the time. I have opened them, but normally when you see a collector, their usually out of the box or have no box at all. So it doesn't really matter.

 

Enjoy your pony toys! Also, your lucky. I wish I had those figures!!!

[CaptainDash 5]

It's going to take 30-50 years before our collectables start showing any real resale value, Unless you plan on staring at the box until 2042, I'd go with opening them

[Princess_Molestia 1,460]

do realize this isn't a rare set so even down the road it won't be worth a huge amount of money

ponies like derpy on the other hand...
