Neither do I. I didn't suggest it was wrong, only that I was curious why
some folks like to keep sets unopened. It's a really hard concept for me to
get my little brain around. :)

100% for me, but then who's counting?

I suppose that's one thing that really brings up this issue for me with this
particular set. I'm really interested in getting one.... despite the $75
price tag. So, in my mind, getting it on spec or to display as a showpiece
(without ever taking off the plastic) is a tough pill to swallow. Plus, I
think well-designed sets like this are best when you get to show them off.
One copy will someday grace my desk at work. If there is ever a second
copy, I think it will look good sitting on the entertainment center next to
Vader's Tie Fighter. Hardly a matched set, but both good models.
All the best,
Allan B.
