[QUOTE="subzero, post: 495465, member: 9185"] Also if someone suddenly decides they want a 'YPS Snowtrooper' and just happen to also own one of these weapon packs that they bought back when it was only £5, that makes it a whole lot easier for them to open it up. Opening it is such a greedy and shortsighted thing to do just for the sake of a single weapon, not SW related but I have 3 sealed packets of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles stick-on tattoo's from the early 90's that took me nearly 2 years to find, there's not even a single picture anywhere on the internet of a sealed or opened example, super rare and very hard to find, yet no market for them whatsoever and worth pennies. I absolutely loved these tattoo's as a kid so would love nothing more than to open one of these 3 packs up just to see what the tattoo designs look like again as I can't fully remember, but I feel so guilty even just thinking about tearing one open because they're so rare, and I don't want to forever destroy that piece of sealed history. But I did have the idea of sending one pack in to Ashens for him to open in a Youtube video, at least that way if one was going to be opened then at least this obscure little bit of history could be shared with hundreds of thousands of other people from all around the world, who would experience and enjoy seeing them too, not just me alone, this seemed a fair trade to me. But when I found out Ashens closed down his PO box because of receiving way too many items from fans, I had to keep all my 3 packs and there they will now stay, never being opened, it just feels disrespectful to open one for just one person to enjoy. I also have quite a few sealed packs of Pro Set Premiere League collector cards, nobody wants them, they're bloody everywhere and are worthless, i'd love to open one though for nostalgia but again just feel too guilty ruining one.
