If you get old vintage figurines welded in a origin package but you collect only enpacked animals? And you also only need 3 from a set of 8 and you could trade than the other 5?

Andreas

I would try and sell the packet intact and with the money raised purchase the ones you need separately.

There are collectors that would love the set you have just as it is!  Very Happy

yes, with vintage figures like that, i'd keep them in the original packaging intact and just wait/look for the separate ones i want.

It would be a real, terrible crime to unpack and separate them  affraid 

Yes, yes, please sell them to me  bounce cheers

I would definitely leave them in the package, and probably would just keep them, especially after finding them for a good price. Very Happy

Andreas, in this particular case I won't also unpack them. As you can read from other comments, there are collectors wishing a lot to find a complete set like yours. The package is not important for you not even for me, but it can give a huge joy to people that collect sets in their original condition. Removing them also removes the chance of someone find a complete set and keeping it like it is doesn't remove you the chance of finding these species you're missing.
Collecting is sometimes a hobby of hard decisions, you'll always have something to search and who knows you can find these 3 species in a trade or so.
If you are not sure, you can keep the set intouched and keep trying to find these species. If you can find them, just sell the set. If after a long time you conclude that it is almost impossible, just open the bag and join these three to your collection. You have this right of course. Very Happy

IMHO it would be criminal vandalism to open this pack.

Keep them or sell them, but don't open/ruin them.

I'm on a barbarian mood with packages but I agree in this case, this set could enjoy a collector. It must stay like this !  Wink
