If you bought them on eBay, it wasn't for resale. So RIP THE BOX OPEN! Now!
Shred it except for the back panel with alternative models. Chew on the
pieces a bit until you calm down. Now, build like crazy in a frenzied
paroxysm of delight. You can always rip it apart and put it back together

They do no earthly good sitting on a shelf unless you got 'em cheap and intend
to sell them later on.

You may wish to skip the box destruction, but I don't let them clutter up the
house and have yet to sell a set other than an unopened one bought at 70-80%
off.
