Almost all of this is myth, or flat out misinformation.
Opened figures do not "LOSE ALL VALUE." They are not "WORTHLESS."
And MOC figures do not always appreciate, nor do they always retain their value.
It all varies on demand. A figure that's in demand is going to be in demand, no matter what. Classics Rodimus, Classics Starscream, Classics Skywarp are as desired opened, as they are MoC, as people want them reguardless.
