Battle Gears
Battle Gears
A question for the MOC collectors this one I guess, but do folks consider MOC Battle Packs as part of their collection? I have about ten or more, that I'm about to rip open to tool up some of the boys, but am considering holding back one of each force to keep MOC. Is this just me going overboard, or has anyone else kept them carded?
Could there be a day when we see MOC Battle Gears become so rare that a MOC AFA graded set of Battlegears pay off the mortgage on SteveD Towers?

Re: Battle Gears
I keep the battle packs carded. Apart from SAS, the battle packs do not hold much original rifles. So for me there is no use to open them.
You see the battle packs quite often. By the time they get ultra rare, we prolly will be dead.

I've kept one from each force and opened others to tool up the boys. I may even put them in an acrylic case..... eventually.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

I know I'll not be able to resist that too Paul. They are about the last in line though I think - the cases will be worth two times more than the contents!paul463 wrote:I've kept one from each force and opened others to tool up the boys. I may even put them in an acrylic case..... eventually.

I always keep a battle gear from each force in an acrylic case. The moc collection isn't 'complete' without one.
That said, as soon as any new moc's arrive, they always get given the case and the weapon's packs sit in a shoebox until I get a new batch of acrylic boxes in.

Re: Battle Gears
the accessory packs are the only thing I've never had an interset in, largely due to the recolouring of the weapons.paul463 wrote:I've kept one from each force and opened others to tool up the boys. I may even put them in an acrylic case..... eventually.
