If you plan to leave it in the box then that is exactly what you have to do. You have to take the risk that everything is fine in the package as is. If you do not plan tho sell it or get rid of it then you have to decide how you feel about that. You would have to consider it being labeled as Opened w/ Box Complete or Opened w/ Mint Box, but once the seal is broken it can never be considered MIB or Mint in Sealed Box.

MIB in box could mean two things though. It could mean MIOB (Mint In Opened Box) or Mint in Sealed Box (MISB). It is possible for an item to be Mint with an Opened Box (package was opened but toy was never removed or touched).
