Should I open the original package?

Hello,
I found some original packages of ELASTOLIN.
Should I open the packages? I think I know what animal is inside and I think I have the animal.
Benno.

I think if you already have the animals loose and don't need the ones in the package for anything, I would leave them in the package. Should you choose to sell them eventually, it may increase their desirability to some buyers.

Always hard to decide. I agree with pipxlch. If you decided to open them, I'd make a very small hole at the seam so that it is barely noticeable.

If you have the figures and you also will sale the figures - than not. If you dont have the figures, yes :)

I agree 100 % !!!!!
The value ( in money) will drop a lot if you open them

But also to me the collecting value is much higher, - these bags can not be made whole ever again

Another thing : they look like rohlings !!! Rohlings in closed bags ! THAT is unusual

Hausser sold some unpainted models, they are not rolling.

If you want to sell them, of course it's better to let them as they are.

I didn't know that they sold unpainted models, thankyou for the info

"Rohling" is German for a blank, -  Google translates : "A blank is a workpiece that has already passed through a processing step in the processing chain and that is intended for a further processing step".

So I suppose these are Rohlings, but your are right, here we mainly use the word for models that were not intended to be sold.

They were sold to be painted by customers.

Open, open please.
Those poor animals have long been trapped in their bags and they want to come out to be admired.


Make a small cut in the top of the bag,Also keep the bag, both are a treasure.
