HONESTLY? (Silly future/past hypothetical)

[Wee67]

It's Christmas Eve in the late 70's and childhood you is having trouble getting to sleep thinking about all the cool Megos you're going to get tomorrow. Your dreams of Mego booty are interrupted when a traveller from the future appears in your room (he's wearing the obligatory silver jumpsuit so you know he is definitely from the future). He has a message-

He tells you that carded Megos sitting under the tree will be worth thousands in the future. He won't say how much. It's something about prices changing and price gides being worthless that really doesn't hold your attention. He tells you all you have to do is NOT open the cards, safely pack them up and not play with them for 30 years.

So the next day, you tear open the wrapping and come face to face with several crisp and shiny brand new carded Megos. What do you do?

If I'm completely honest and I try to get back into my childhood mindset, I know what I do- I open them! Even being told then what I know now, I can't resist playing with them!

I open my Megos even now--I guess I'm still a child in some ways, or perhaps childish lol.

I'd panic and scream at the man in the silver jumpsuit to get out of my bedroom. Then I would open my toys the following morning.

The MAIN reason I ABSOLUTELY hate carded Megos... Give me boxed or re sealable packing any day of the week.

[samurainoir]

OPEN! (but I might consider getting doubles to keep on card)

Wish the time traveller had given me a sports almanac instead... could make bigger money that way if Back to the Future 2 taught us anything. Then I'd be living my dream life of owning a casino and being married to Lea Thompson.

Open em. Great childhood memories are worth more than carded figures as an adult. Plus, if you kept them carded all those years, you'd probably need some serious therapy for all the impulse suppression you had to endure over the years.

I agree there is no way i could have resisted opening them up,the traveler would just have to understand that fact,he would have said that,that
ironman and lizard under the tree are a future fortune,and i would not have believed him,and if somehow i did,either my younger brothers or
sister would have found them ,and that shall we say is that.

[LadyZod]

Open them. Chalk the time traveler visit to a messed up dream caused by eating too many twinkies.

[Relic]

I would by DOZENS and DOZENS of carded Megos and just open up 1 of each different kind. I would be retired now.

[WannabeMego]

Kids have no concept of Value, only levels of FUN.

Rip those bad boys open I would.

[sprytel]

Remember that Amazing Stories with Mark Hammil, where the troll told him to keep all his "treasures"? Watching that as a kid is part of the reason I saved so many of my old toys. If only the troll told me I needed to keep them mint in package...

[starsky]

i would rip them open, but i know my younger sister who also likes megos would have followed that dream.

[MIB41]

I would know better what to do with my grass mowing money...

THIS! I was able to keep my boxed Megos in their boxes for the longest time and still play with 'em. (Money was tight, my folks taught me to take good care with my toys!)

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Open 'em. Even now I like to see my kids open the gifts we get them, despite the product's potential. Plus, if as a hypothetical kid, I zoned out over the value changes, with my much I would sell them in the 90's and be kicking myself that I neither played with them nor got more than $90 for that Iron Man. Lol.
