bought on old toy on ebay -unopened

[PLasticSlug]

Last week on won an auction on eBay. I won The Maxx toy from McFarlane. It ended at 10, but with shipping I got it for about 18.

Now that I have it in my hands im debating if I should open it or not… I been over 7 or eight years and the unfortunately the Maxx toy still sells for a little bit more than its original selling price so it really has not gained much value over the years, but it does sell for a few bucks more than most of the old McFarlane toys, But that’s not the point I did not buy it for tha money, I got it cause I like the Maxx….

 

So should I open it or not?

[Gryph]

Will you seriously play with it if you open it? If not then don't open it.

With a kick ass resell value?

 

I'll hunt you down if you open it.

[Elazul Yagami]

if you got it for resale , then no.

if you're considering resale then no.

 

otherwise enjoy

I think ill buy another one.... maybe unopened or even boxed.... That way i can play with it.... its expensive but dam I love the Maxx if any one wants some issues i got them all scanned, you can also get it off of suprnova.....

 

Its funny though when i was like 11 or whenever this series came out I bought this toy. Opened it up and found that the Maxx'x body was hollow unlike most McFarlane toys where they are solid plastic, and the body frame movement is completely crap, but then again you cant get a wide range of movement this type of body style. But i was so pissed off I took it back.

 

And ever since then yearned for this toy.

hide it somewhere and write some clues or make a map, then past down the map and clues to somebody, and by the time someone find it, he/she'll be rich and thx u very much

Yeah, the McFarlane toys tend to be nice to look at, but usually only hold one position well and fall apart easily (at least the older ones did). I'd say keep it sealed, or just open it to use as a statue somewhere.

 

And yeah, the MAXX ruled. I have the old MTV series in avi format somewhere.

yeah, now i'm kinda hiding my friend's stuff and writing clues to make my friends find them

ok final decision...

 

Im not going to open it, love the Maxx but that figure really sucks to play with. from its lack of body movement to hollow shell of a frame, i would be just as dissapointed as i was as a kid trying to play with it again.

 

but it would look just as good on display in the box.

 

 

besides if i open it the population of unopened Maxx's would go down promoting their extinction, and as the value of mines drops down the $hitter every body elses Maxx would go up in value. I just cant do that to the Maxx

Pay a hooker to put it in the back of a trunck that is tightly soldered shut and drive it off into a river and like maybe 2 montz later go and have the car towed out of the water and open up the trunk and take it out the box and vuala, just like good old aged wine.
