I really want to play with my new toy, but I'm not sure if opening it will cause it to loose too much of its value.

Well, you could always USE the toy to reseal itself back into the box once you're done playing with it. It is The Force after all.

How can you contain The Force™? Doesn't The Force™ permeate everything while surrounding and binding it together? Lucas is crafty, but not that crafty.

I at first though this was going to be a serious topic. Smile

But as seeing as it is The Force you'll probably be OK. But stuff does go down in value when opened. If you do open something and lose an accessory the value goes down even more. There were several occasions when I was heavily into collecting the newer Star Wars toys(1995-2000) where I'd buy two of a single figure...one to open and display and one to keep in the box.

Damnit, someone emailed me a bunch of Star Wars toy parodies and that was one of them, I wish I hadn't deleted it.

Haha, four months later and this one still nearly brings me to tears, hahahaha. I think it's the little pic in the background.

What does it for me is the fact that the body parts are just shoved in there and rattling around. No twine or anything to hold them in place. Classic. Laughing

Almost as good as the Leslie Arzt LOST action figure:

Now if I watched Lost I may find this funny, however, since I refrain from terrible television I must admit that this makes me lost (please excuse the pun).

Haha, what's the context for this?

There's a 19th century ship on the island, and the castaways discover that it has some crates of dynamite in it that they could use. Leslie Arzt is a high school science teacher, and he begins explaining to the other castaways that dynamite becomes unstable over time and explains to them that they need to carefully wrap each stick in wet towels to transport them. While demonstrating how to do so, he accidentally explodes.
