Keep MIB or not?
« on: September 11, 2012, 05:44:21 PM »
So today I was at Wal-Mart looking for wave 4 blind bags and while they finally got a second box, again, someone else beat me to it. All that was in there was AJ and I almost didn't even see her bag since it was stuck to the front of the box. Anyway, I was about to walk away, when I noticed they just had two single ponies, which were Lyra and Sunny Rays. I already have them, but figured I could trade them for blind bags, so I snatched them up.

I was planning on opening them to save on shipping cost, but then I realized that these don't have the DVDs in front of them like mine did and I know people who collect MIB don't want the DVD covering them so what I'm wondering is should I keep them MIB for someone who wants them that way, or does it matter? I mean, if they're not too hard to find without the DVDs then I'll just go ahead and open them, but if they're something that people are looking for, I can go ahead and keep them MIB.

I mean if you have them I don't see why not. Lyra will be much wanted in the future due to her popularity :)

Pretty much, I'm just wondering how much demand there is for them MIB without the DVD. Because if I opened them, they'd be cheaper to ship since I could just throw them in a bubble mailer, where MIB, I'd have to mail them in a box. But if there's not much demand for them MIB, then I'll just open them.

I actually think there will be more people looking for them MIB without the DVD then not, so I'd leave them in their boxes for now.

So are Trixie, Lyra & co. harder to find now? This is only the second time I've come across any of them and the first time was at Target way back when they did the toy reset.

I would leave them in their box unless the person purchasing them specifically asks they be taken out to save on shipping. You're so lucky, two Lyras! I've never even seen one around here :(

Ok, I'll add them to my trade list tomorrow after I take pics. It's too dark to take them now.

I agree I would keep them in box until traded and give someone the option - some people may not be bothered and happy to have them loose while others may prefer them in the box without the DVD.

They are really only now starting to hit stores and plenty of countries are still yet to see them so I dont think they are particularly hard to find or rare as yet.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I love Loa more than PonyLady!
