Opinions wanted...
« on: September 01, 2012, 10:21:48 AM »
Back story:

Some time ago, I bought 2 MLP snowglobes.  Well, one of them arrived damaged (the globe was shattered)...

Package was securly wrapped and insured.  I did not file a claim with the Post Office, as I wanted to keep the items.

These were intended for my daughter (when she gets a little older), as I already have a set:

Half of me is tempted to go ahead and break the other one, so that they match.  On the other hand, they are not commonly found, so the other half of me is screaming NO!

Would you break the other one, or leave it as is?

It's been more than a year, and I'm still torn...

Leave it as is!  I'd consider the broken one a "variant" of the unbroken one.  :)

Leave it as it is, it looks more unique that way, like a little decoration ^-^

Personally I would leave them - mainly as I would struggle to deliberately change it and, although you have no intention of selling, of devaluing them a little.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

You can't remove the globe part without breaking it? Even if it's glued on there's usually still a way.

Either way, I definitely wouldn't break it. You might try fixing the broken one. I know there are some DIY snowglobe kits, if you can find one the right size, you can probably just use the glass globe part as a replacement.

Maybe just wait until your daughter is older and let her decide if she wants them to match or if she wants it intact. Who knows, maybe somebody even has one that's already broken you can trade for. Or sell the broken one and put the money towards a good one.

Lot's of other options, I wouldn't go straight to destroying something you said aren't commonly found. It's really your decision, though.
