			I don't think he means that. 
 
I say open them. A blind box will never be worth anything, but if you find a clear ninja it's a $100+ figure that's only going to rise in value. 
 
Chronicle the opening of all the boxes. Make a thread, I'm sure we'd all love to share the experience!

			Dude, I have the same thing coming in, and you better believe I will be opening all the boxes , just boxes. And if I get duplicates, then I will open the clear plastic around the figures. I suggest you do the same.

That's a good idea. You'll have an open set to pose, a sealed set, extras to sell or trade and possibly a chase figure or two.

			I actually bidded on ebay for the box, it came out to about 130$ shipped (the guy was amazing fast with FEDEX, I actually didn't get dinged with customs or broker fees!) 
 
(this was the box that me and vs were both joking about, and that if I won it, itd be all CHASE figures, apparently not! ahahah) 
 
So I mean, if you can get a box under 150$ shipped, I'd say its a pretty decent price.
