But remember he is specifically talking about Star Wars, which in fairness carries it's own culture as far as the fans, mythos, products and what not. Star Wars is also one of the lines which has been revamped so many times that collectors usually do opt out to keep them in package so to attest that that figure came from that series.

But...it depends on what type of collector you are. Are you a completist? Do you collect everything past and present? Do you want your collection to retain some value?

I think it's ok to open them because it is your decision. I open all of mine. And the best way to keep them in the best possible condition is to use plastic cases or put on shelf. It won't mean much but at least they won't get marked up.

Truth is, it's your money which you work for, and it's your choice how you spend it, and treat your toy's accordingly. Enjoy them the best way you know how!
