For the love of Megatron
I am roughly thirty years old. My parents were reasonably well off, but they didn't believe in toys or things that weren't practical. I had severe Transformers envy as most of my friend had loads. I had none.

Twenty years later, I go around to one of my friend's house for a BBQ. I notice in his study that he has some of his old Transformers on a shelf.

I get drunk and go home.

I wake up and I find that I have spent £950 on ebay buying a virtually complete collection of first generation Transformer toys, most in the boxes.

I then realise that I have severe psychological issues stemming from childhood.

Having said that though, they virtually all fit inside my bed under the blanket at night when I go to sleep, and I can almost see all of them through the little box windows.

I might eventually even open one of the boxes to play with them.

This is good.
a) For the love of Megatron
b) I say open all the boxes and play with them, that's what they were made for!

No!
Don't do that, if you keep the boxed you might one day be able to sell 'em for a profit!

Why would you want to?
He bought them because he likes transformers.
If you like transformers you want to play with transformers, feel soundwave's sweet laserbeak in your hands.
If I were given a load of transformers I would immediately take them out their boxes and play with them before putting them on pround display around my room- such awesomeness such as optimus prime and megatron do not deserve to be boxed!

:-) Lovely!
Just play with 'em a bit, and keep the boxes nice, should be fine...

Sparklet major did something very similar with a great big Power Rangers set. It snaps together into a huge great big thingy...
