Or he doesn't like to open his figures and likes to keep them mint in their original packaging, and has no intention of selling them?
I understand why that would be annoying, even if I understand why it's not the case.
Jumping to conclusions a bit here before you start acting like a keyboard warrior again aren't you?

It's a pain for collectors who want to keep the figures in the boxes, but it's understandable.

I've been suckered in something rotten, I started off wanting them, then I seen the actual figurines and was somewhat disappointed but in the flesh I think they are actually very cool and have ended up with 13 so far...
Here's my collection so far:

Now I just want to Catch Them All!

Read a web page the other day that was getting a collector (blatantly a scalper) about these and the volumes being preordered for selling on. I really think the bottom is going to fall out of these for resellers in the new year. I've already seen a couple of Marth and Villagers in the wild a few times so it's clear Nintendo aren't making them in too low a number. I think they've been caught off guard at launch but later waves will adjust volumes so it's Nintendos pockets being lined. Scalpers will end up with high volumes of rrp worth stock

You could be right, but bet in most cases they'll be returned for a refund if there's no profit to be made.
Miguel007, your pic doesn't show, this is it, correct link (minus the asterisk)

a) how many other commercial products you can use without taking them out of their original packaging and why this is such "poor show" from Nintendo?
b) why would anyone want to keep something in the original packaging if the intention isn't to sell it at some point?

Various amounts of my gaming collectables are sealed, from rarer games, to art books and guides, to special editions. I have them not to sell but to simply admire- if you don't feel this is something you would do, then that's fine- but it doesn't mean others wouldn't. Just look at things like the VGA ratings to prove its a legitimate want for some people.
On your other point, as I said - I understand WHY it's like that, and WHY you can't use them without opening them, but from the perspective above - I understand why it must be annoying. I didn't say Nintendo were wrong in doing it- just that from a collectors perspective it would be irritating as you'd have to buy two.
