    Ok, to open and display or box away?

    I just recently purchased the Space 1999 collection. I am torn. I am not a box em up kind of guy. I like to display them OUT OF THE CARD. Will I regret opening these up in 20 years? Are these dolls an investment? SHould I buy another collection and have one boxed and one display?

    I assume these are the Classic TV Toy versions? Open 'em up and display them.

            My advice as a toy collector with over 30 years experience under my belt ..... Open them up and live and enjoy the moment today .....

            Today is where it's all at

            The whole trick of enjoying your hobby is living it TODAY

              I only buy the loose figures from CTVT. That way this issue never arises.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  Yes. I agree. Also, if they become a gold mine. Opened, I will have a greater client base than on card due to price. I did not buy these as investments, only to show off the REAL Palitoy versions. ;-)

                  Thats what I told my wife, as I am presently creating a display case built on the wall for over 100 mego that I will collect. Its crazy.

                    To quote Sting:

                    Free, free, set them free.
                    "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                    'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
