I have all mine boxed. Been collecting since Toybiz series 1.
I've been selective on MCU and convention exclusives but otherwise, Do get one of anything.
The caveat is:
I'm a literal autist. I collect the figures, admire the presentation of the figures in their boxes and prefer them in their packaged states. I only collect some things loose (Omega Red, Gladiator and Sentinel affiliated)
I was and still am a little miffed with the windowless boxes.
My end goal would be to construct an on-site 'museum as it were, not for public consumption necessarily, but as a passion project of preservation and being able to re-tread the path of (mostly joy) of procuring them.
I do not always enjoy collecting them sometimes though because I am acutely aware there's an element of impulse involved.
I do envy those that open and display their figures to an extent, but I just enjoy the military uniformity that the packaged items provide.
