I know that when i do buy complete sets (it does happen, honest) that I
prefer to buy them MISB. They DO NOT stay that way though, as the whole
purpose in having LEGO is to build something out of it! :)
The reason that I prefer MISB is for "security", I just feel more secure
buying them that way. I'm assured that all the pieces will be there, and
that they are all in like new condition (barring any packaging errors from
TLC). I also don't have to rely on the sellers standards in evaluating the
set. My definition of "like new" and "Excellent condition" are bound to be
different then theirs.
I guess what I am trying to say is that, just because some people prefer to
buy their sets MISB, it doesn't mean that they are MISB collectors.
