I say no.. the only thing it truly has going for it is that amazing card stock. Otherwise, those colors will be released retail and you'll just have overpaid for that.
And variant Galactus was on tru.com for a longgg time. It's not nearly as rare so that's not quitttte on the same level. Now opening SDCC Galactus would be even dumber. Because then you either went to freakin comic con and got the exclusive, or overpaid for said exclusive, and now have nothing more than a 30 dollar figure to show for it. :P Last edited by quinten182; 08-18-2011 at 06:41 AM.. |

Don't do it homie! That giant card rocks! If you realllllly want to open I'd just get another one. They started popping up here in oklahoma and if we got it everybody should.

I'll admit I'm more of a toy player (ok, fine, displayer) than a collector so I say open him up and let him breathe... I guess I just don't get any fun out of a toy that's still sitting there in it's box. Guess it really depends on why you bought him... Did you think he was cool and wanted to display him with your others or were you hoping he'd go up in value and you could sell him later at a profit? If you're a toy speculator then keep him carded.

I voted no because I havent opened neither one that I have. After further thought though, I think it really all depends on if you are a MOC or loose/display collector.
If you do open him then use a blade to keep the plastic bubble intact for display purposes in case you wanted to put him back in there. You can always keep the box out by the opened Sentinel as the box art is amazing. Or just buy a BAF Sentinel as its a superior figure and keep your SDCC Sentinel all boxed up while you can display the loose BAF.

I open EVERYTHING mu, EXCEPT stuff like this that I bought because of the packaging or variations. I'm not hoping it goes up in value, I don't care, I just keep it on the card because the only difference between this comic con exclusive and any other is the card. (and colors.. for now.)

I had intentions of opening up the sdcc sentinel but after seeing him in the blister card, I couldn't pull the trigger. I love the packaging on him too much.

If I owned the SDCC version I'd leave it MOC, the reason being as it's going to increase in value and rarity, the artwork and packaging is 50% of the value and if u open it, well it's not much different then the regular version, now is it? I have a sdcc thor MU figure and have left it MOC, along with my IM 3 packs, and I can also pick up the SDCC cap and spidey from last year off my comic guy and when I do they're being left MOC.

I love this line. I can just imagine my custom Boliver Trask(White coat Dr From GIJoe Rise of Cobra with a head and hand swap) standing infront of the the Sentinel, still mint in packaging, trying to find a way to activate it.

No way, man! I'm totally a loose collector, but my couple of SDCC items I leave in package. Mostly because of the limited run/rarity, but also because they usually go that extra mile with the packaging (love the Invaders set) so that I can still enjoy it. And especially if you can get the same thing at regular retail, I say keep it in it's unique package!

No. Buy a silver one if you must play with one. Eventually the purple will reach retail, so you can just wait for that.
