    longest you've waited to open a package

    How long is the longest you've waited to open a package that you purchased for yourself? I bought a set of figures almost a year ago and haven't opened the box yet. On the sixteenth it'll have been a year since it arrived. I don't know why I haven't opened it. The excitement of owning them hasn't gotten old, even though I haven't seen them in person. I do have pictures of them, so I can "see" them any time I want.
    Strange...
    So, how long have you waited?

          I could see waiting for your birthday or Christmas or something like that, but why would you wait so long to open a package?

                  what if when you open it it's not what you paid for? I could never take that chance, I start opening it as the mailman is handing it to me

                    That's what I was thinking, unless you bought from someone who you totally trust. I've waited overnight on some, but mostly open them up the same day they arrive.

                        You dont mean a package in the mail right?

                        Not a toy you just bought.

                              It once took forever for a figure to be delivered.
                              Once it arrived, I no longer felt the joy of opening it. I waited over a year.
