Collectors love them sealed, but not all the grownups that buy are true collectors. I can walk through tech support and see lots of money that went to Todd and none of its in the packaging.
Lol. So true.
A lot of collectors were buying the Star Trek Micro Machines and keeping them in the packaging. My wife and I bought them and they ended up displayed atop or in front of computer monitors (so it looked like they were going warp speed when the screen saver came on) at the weather station on Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield.
