Opening sealed packages to remove batteries
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 2:31 pm
I was just wondering what the general consensus is on opening up sealed packages to remove batteries for the safety of the toy during long-term storage. Case in point: I've got a 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime and Hardhead both of with have active electronics while still being sealed in their original packaging. I've been kicking around the idea of opening them up just enough to remove the batteries to prevent any battery leakage/corrosion damage.
Now the main question, as I see it, would opening said package to remove batteries in anyway detract from the overall value/price of items like this?
