Your money, your collection. Its up to you how you spend it and how you build it. As long as your not buying outside of your needs without purpose or in danger of appearing on an episode of Hoarders then id say your good.

I buy it... then return it, because I feel bad, or donate it to a toy drive.

nope,its not wrong at all,I have done it from the get go,though now I have moved away from it due to it being too expensive,but if you can afford it,more power bro \m/

I say if you have the money Do What makes you happy. AS long as you don't go and try to sell it to someone for 50 bucks lol

Your money, your choice. Simple as that. Doesn't matter if you're a collector, trader or scalper.

Years ago I tried to get one opened and one sealed for toys I collected. But it got to be such a chore after a while, finding everything twice, displaying it, stoing them, etc. That, and the additional money I was spending eventually got me to decide to stop. It's just not me.

Now I open almost everything. The only things that I'll buy and not open are straight redecos of toys that I already own and if I like the character or I like the new deco. A great example would be Energon Starscream. Bought the original and opened it for my Energon display. Then later I bought the "G1 Colors" version because I liked the deco and the character, but the toy remains sealed to this day.

thats pretty much what it comes dwn 2. your money your choice. sometimes i feel bad then others im like fuck it. i wanted to do this thread cause of all the different sides and feelings on this
