Alex from Germany

[AlexFlynn]

Arrived yesterday. Got it quite cheap (56 Euro) and... it's still sealed! It also came in the original box from capcom (the one with the red sticker on the corner).










I'm not a big fan of keeping things sealed but it looks so fresh and new. But I also want to look inside.

OMG what do I do???

First world problems...

@Alex,

from the viewpoint of a collector, I know about your conflict.

I gave up leaving things untouched in their box. For me collecting is also seeing and knwoing in detail whats inside. I do not want to miss great cover artwork or small details like leaflets, coupons e.g.

So I made opening a sealed box some kind of "ritual".

I take images of every small step while opening or taking out parts. So you can remember later what was the original position and condition of any item.

And depending on the content I wear cotton gloves for not leaving fingerprints on plexiglas, DVDs or artwork printed on glossy papers. So nothing will look worn afterwards. Using the gloves has the positive sideeffect that you do it much slower then normal, which I appreciate.

Just my 2 cents.

This kind of "ritual" takes a little bit time, right?

Well, you may be right, I think I will take a look inside. Especially because I don't think I will sell this anytime. Thanks for your opinion!

Great collection you got there! Especially love the Bioshock items. Quick question. What is the little hammer you have on the top right? Do you know how they were originally purchased i.e. preorder, independent sale or specific site?

Edit: Nevermind, just realized it's probably from the box on the left from The Evil Within. I'm still curious as to how they were originally sold, if you know.
