I just bought Don Cherry and Greztky (Oilers) a few weeks ago.

Do you guys leave them in the packaging?

**ColeJ.** · 02-23-2006, 07:58 PM

from what i gather, nerds and collectors keep them in the packaging, in order to keep them in mint condition.

and if you're just a hockey fan who bought a hockey figurine to have around the house, you should open it.

OUT

Even if it is worth something 50 years from now, who the frig cares. You'll be 70

Yeah, all mine are out on the shelves at home. You can kinda set them up too, like I have Jagr scoring on Cloutier and Hasek stoning Lecavalier.

I got mine in, but I might consider taking them out of the package as I dont plan on selling them :P

Hey, was about to ask the same question when I saw this.

Just bought my first ones last week. Legends 2 Gretzky Kings and Oilers for only about $5 combined and the one I'm really excited about: Grant Fuhr variant with blue uniform for only $6. Not a bad deal.

I'm a toy collector (and a nerd I guess, according to ColeJ.

) but since most are from the 80's and are hard to come by in original packaging, most of my collection is sitting out on the shelf. A few more rare things with good condition packaging that displays well are still in.

Maybe if I had one of the rarer variants that go for like $100+ I'd keep it in (but I'd never spend that much on one figure anyway). I think I'll have to take these guys out, they're just too cool.

I go for the 6/12$ ones so outside the package they go.

take them out or you will be the 40 year old virgin guy

Gojjan · 03-04-2006, 01:53 PM

**cujoblue** · 03-04-2006, 02:13 PM

I will keep them out, my cat broke one of the legs so that's why I was wondering
