mostofthetime 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 218	Hi All, I have a question: For all who collect Toys, etc. Most people like the toys unopened, but a lot I've noticed collect the Toys from years ago which are no longer in packages and have some play wear Why do people collect toys outside of packages? Just curious and I may not even be wording my question correctly Thanks All

Celeste 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 963	For me, personally, I appreciate the play value of my Transformers toys rather than the monetary value of it. I have a shelf full of Cybertron toys that I've opened, played with, and put back in the package. It's not that I'm too lazy to play with them. It's that I don't want to loose any of the parts that come with the toy and in the world of toy collectors there's nothing that's more sacreligious than loosing a part to a toy and thus making it incomplete.

They're cheaper, you can actually hold them in your hand and transform them(or do whatever it is that figure did), they display much better and take up less space and alot of times, the more rare figures are damn near impossible to find in a package. Theres also a group of collectors who specifically buy MIB toys because they want a mint toy, but will open for the reasons I listed above.

Celeste 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 963	Well, I don't really care about the monetary value of my toys or what they'll fetch in years to come. I like that I can play around with them and figure out how they transform. That sort of thing. In fact I'm writing a new RJ article called A Secret World: Girl-Formers just because I wanted to prove that Transformers are not just "boys and their toys anymore."

pikachulover 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 2932	Thanks rirotostichi, plus sometimes the toy is so rare that a collector will get a loose one just to have it.

(who they were always intended to be kept for.).. they make great toys for the next generation.. esp. now that i have the dvds to back up the toys.

kayvee 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 3695	that reminds me, I gave my daughter an extra man-e-faces that I had and she plays with him every now and then. It's kind of cool to see it thrown on the floor in her room...adds a touch of vintage appeal to the room.
