There's nothing more satisfying for me when it comes to collecting than taking the toy out of the box and putting everything together. Especially when it's LEGO or something hugely involved like that but I get the same satisfaction from equiping my action figures with all of their accessories (or applying stickers/decals with great precision), then finally posing them. Unless the packaging is DAMN COOL packaging like the SDCC DC Universe Infinite Heroes Starro Boxset, I am more than happy to take it apart. I'm actually going to get another SDCC IH Starro Boxset simply for this purpose. Nowadays, I rarely have one MOC and one loose unless it's one of these special cases.
