    Open your Retro Action Heroes or leave them sealed?

    I was just wondering what people were doing with their Retro Action Heroes if they only bought 1 set? I only have GL and LL and they are still on their cards at this point, but I plan on opening them.

      On Card first

      First I get a set on the card then another I open.
      I have all 4 on the card and all but Lex open too.

        I have a carded set, and open loose set and a third set for kicks and giggles. I'm afraid to walk into another TRU for fear of picking up another set. These things are like lays!

          I used an xeacto knife to cut three of the four sides on the top of the blister pack so I can slip them in and out. With collecting as prevalent as it is today, I don't think mint on the card retro figures are going to really sky-rocket in price.

            I only got Superman and Lex, but they are opened. Can't play with them with my son if they are still sealed.

              if I only had 1 set, it would be tough but I would not open them. I would talk about opening them everyday and drive my wife crazy and tell myself I can't open them and then probably open them.

                  My urge to rip them open always makes me buy 2 if i want to keep one carded. I can control the ripping urge if i have one open already.

                        I opened them. Playtime. Though I do have a sealed Superman that my girlfriend ordered for me before we found the case at TRU.

                          In the best case scenario you would have an extra set sealed....but if you only have one...open it and have fun

                            I only got 1 set, and tore green lantern out the moment I got in the car! It honestly was the best feeling, Going into Toys R Us, buying a mego and opening him in the car! I was a 5 year old again for at least 5 min,(liken it to the old frosted mini wheats commercials) until I had to put on my adult persona and drive the car...then when I got home, and showed the family, they were in HORROR as I opened them all up 1 by 1. Will I get another to leave sealed? likely. But playtime first, collection later. I want them to be abundant before I buy another set.

                              I cut the side of the bubble on three of the four edges to have access to the figure. I don't play with them and don't have kids, but I do sometimes display or like to check out loose figures in my collection. Then I put 'em back in the package for storage or display. It's the best of both worlds!
