EXAMPLE: I bought SDCC Vader with holographic Palpatine. Awsome Set. It talks out some scenes. BUT I already have 4-5 versions of Darth Vader already. REASON? To open him up would be my 5-6 Vader! I do not have another use for him! BESIDES, The package has a "try me" feature so I can still enjoy it!

BUT

MY FREIND STILL COMPLAINS. "WHAT IS THE REASON OF BUYING IT IF YOU CANNOT OPEN IT.?" he goes on, "I would rather have children buy the figure and open it than to have a colelctor or scalper buy it and horde it."

I agree that children should have the most fun BUT I bought the figure as a testament to some of my favorite characters and moments! Can I not collect and play?

I own TONS of figures. Most of which are open! On occasion I "collect". M-I-P. But I think it is really the decision of the consumer. Collect if you would like but make sure to display them! and if you Open them? DO THE SAME.

Yeah I gotta say I do the same, I open all I buy.
But with the upcoming X-23 figure, I'll buy 2, one to keep MIP, and one to open.
