Misb Or Loose?

[Rodimus Primal]

Not to start any wars with which is better, but which do you prefer AND why?

 

I like 'em loose because I want to see how it Transforms and displays and everything about it. Not to mention I think the toys seems like they WANT TO BREAK FREE!!!

Most of my collection is now loose. I had a bunch of MISB stuff but I've had to sell most of it off. Now all I have left are a few extras that are put away but nothing all that rare or valuable.

never sealed. They're Transformers! they're meant to be transformed, plain and simple If you want to keep something sealed, buy other action figures that just stand there and don't do anything.

 

I keep all the packaging though, so I can put them back in and out from time to time

[ju.ke]

most of mine are misb still but whenever i feel like it... i open one up (usually late at nite when everyone is slpin) after i transformed them a few times i put them back into the box.

[Three Storms]

Loose!

 

MISB'ers are Satan worshippers! They caused the hurricane! They ran over my puppy!

 

 

Seriously, it is just more fun to collect loose. I try to not worry about value or condition the way you do with MISB stuff that's a hell of a lot more fragile because it's easier to mess up cardboard than it is to mess up plastic, and I collect for enjoyment of a hobby.

LOOSE all the way. check out my new loose collection on my sig.

I like them loose because the idea of MISB smells fishy. Transformers are meant to be transformed. Not to mention you don't get the full appreciation for the things without a modest degree of hand-to-habd interaction. It's more personal, more connected. In this way, some you will grow to love and others not so much, but you get a better idea of each one. Not to mention that if it's a Alternator/Cybertron toy and its defective, you can exchange/return it. MISBers don't even know what they're getting! @firedevil@

 

On the other hand, if I had doubles of everything I owned, I'd keep the other set MISB because many of them have good display value. But that's secondary.

[Skips]

Most loose... Some MISB... :S

[Dark Gundam]

I like them loose because I transform and pose them once and a while, I do however keep most of the repaints(E.Beachcomber,ect.)MISB,MOSC.

[FUGAYZIE]

both. the only TF's I keep MISB are G1's and reissues. All my Alts and Bts are loose....they're way to cool to keep boxed up

I like them loose because the idea of MISB smells fishy.

really? It kinda smells like steak to me. with mashed potatoes on the side.

Loose on sealed box to me please = LOSB

[pogoman]

I like my steak well done

here's a new one...mint on a mint factory sealed box:

[GaZ]

Mint but not in box

 

Most of mine are loose, with the exception of e-hobby stuff and the odd reissue (Hasbro Prime, TFC Prime, TFC Megs, Tak Screamer, Tak Hotrod and Tak Rodimus), oh and G2 Prime. The only e-hobby I have opened is Magnificus, but I made sure I bought an extra to open

 

I've got into the dirty habit of buying all exclusives in duplicate. Someone cure me please!

[heroicnonsense]

My collection is all loose, except for a G1 MOSC Seaspray and a MISB reissue Thundercracker I got by accident (I actually ordered a Skywarp but the postage for returning it was as high as the reissues price :S). I already had a Thundercracker so I left the double MISB

 

You could say my collection is TOOSBUA = "Taken out of sealed box upon arrival"

[pesatyel]

Never really understood the point of MISB.

 

 

Prefer loose so as to play with them (what ELSE are they for?). Besides, I can barely afford to BUY loose ones, so in box is out of the question.

[OB1Killa]

Currently my collection is MISB, well, 95% cause the original G1's are loose, not my fault, I started buying too late

 

I am lookin for a crib with 5 bedrooms & 2 1/2 baths...so I will have to wait to display anything...

 

My family & friends laugh when they come over cause I have toys in every room, closet, hallway, weightroom & garages.

[AMG]

I like 99% of all my toys loose. The only things kept sealed are rare or vitage stuff.

 

Tranformers are almost a waste MIB/MOC. You gotta transform them and play with them! That's what these things are for after all.

[Rodimus Primal]

MISB is for those that are TOO over protective. There's nothing wrong with playing with a toy and figuring out all its interesting features or whether or not the toy sucks.

[pogoman]

its not that hard really. Chemistry is hard.

[pogoman]

MISB is for those that are TOO over protective.

is it? how do you know?

 

when I see somethign that looks really good I buy 2 of so I can check out the features. MISB is just a way of collecting. Just like loose is. I have seen some impressive loose collections that just stand there collecting dust.

So in that case, you somewhat have a loose collection too? I'm not saying that you collecting MISB is a bad thing. I was just looking at everyone's taste in collecting. To me, I prefer loose collecting because I can't afford to buy MISB items and I like to mess around with each TF I buy.

[pogoman]

it comes down also to timing. I love TFs but I don't have the time to play with them or check them out, but I would not want to miss out on buying these toys that I have played with as a kid. Which is why I try to buy anything that is TF related that I think looks cool.

[LiquidMetal]

98 % of my TFs are loose....but due to the fact that I'm pretty busy with work and stuff nowadays.....I may have to convert to the MISB lifestyle!!!! @firedevil@

 

We'll see!!!
