Hi everyone,
It's been a while (about 8 months) since I've been on LUGNET -- I had
to take
a break from LEGO as real life took over. Now I'm easing back into
it gently,
trying not to spend every dime on new bricks. :)
I'm sure this has been discussed many times now, but I'd like to get
a fresh
perspective from people that I sort of know from before.
What's your stance on open vs. sealed LEGO sets? I recently
purchased
several older castle sets on Ebay. To my surprise, these sets are in
much
better shape than I expected with little or no box wear. It almost
seems
a shame to open them up, but they really don't bring me any enjoyment
sealed and shelved. On the other hand, they weren't cheap either, so
I
don't want them to fade in light, etc...
Anyone else go through this? What did you decide?
Thanks,
Chris
