Amiibo Collectors...
I've started collecting Amiibos and I've kept them all sealed. The problem is that sealed ones take up much more space than loose ones, and that you can't actually use the Amiibos on your 3DS or Wii U games when they're sealed. On the other hand, I love having stuff "complete in box" whenever possible. But if you open your Amiibos, the boxes are pretty much irreparable, and that cool box art goes to waste.
But another plus for opening them is that you can import ones from sites like Play Asia (who btw is having a huge sale on Amiibos, including ones that are pretty rare in the U.S.), and the figures themselves are the exact same, down to the text on the bottom of them. But if you keep them sealed, you can't import them without your OCD kicking in that the box art is different.
So collectors, do you keep your Amiibos sealed, or open them up?

But it makes SOOO much more sense to open and display them that way.
I would totally have a little table and display them just they do in Melee.
Personally I leave all mine sealed since I use them for display and really like how the boxes look.
I seriously forgot about these. Do they still make them? Or all they all just new old stock?
Yeah they are still making them. For awhile it was a lot of Animal Crossing stuff which doesn't exactly make waves. But I believe Cloud is about to come out and that will probably get people talking.
I keep mine sealed, but then again I only have Pikachu.
Oh, I also got Wolf Link + Midna from Australia for a good price and was very happy with it. Even though I was going to open it anyway, it was packaged in a little box and arrived mint. Didn't expect that for free shipping.

Keep 'em sealed.
As others said, CIB takes up a lot of room. I have mine packed away and have the loose ones displayed in a cabinet. When I first started collecting CIB I didn't take into account just how many there were, and how much space that is. I'll honestly probably sell them down the road, and I'm not expecting them to rise in value too much aside from a few.
So if you're going to actually collect and display, I'd say loose.
Tried to go sealed, but 1: They take up an ungodly amount of space, 2: I really want to use them for 3DS/Wii U games, and 3: They display beautifully loose, so I opened those babies up. Glad I did
shit that's a lot of amiibo how many are you missing?

Zero
I don't have the equipment, time, or desire to use them anyway, I just wanted some cool inexpensive figures. Plus the box art looks pretty cool.
oh and sealed. Unless i want to use it then i buy a second one

Same. I only collected the Smash series and a few other odd ball ones. I have dupes of a few I used for Smash like Ry, Samus, etc. and then Toad for Treasure Tracker.
