I think he decided to retire from the hobby after getting his 75th Flight Deck Hat.

Kaboom!

I applaud your bravery, good sir.

Nooooooooo! Can't believe you folded so easy! I can feel the envy growing deep inside me. Oh, hold on! That's not Dann. What's going on here?

My box is missing!

is the beard still there? If the seal is broken, the beard goes...Those two are just that important...

As soon as it is "out in the open" I will be overcome with immense envy, followed by the obligatory pounding of solid objects around the home.

I think there's no better reason given to open them, Dann.

I find the varied responses here quite intriguing. Feels like I'm learning a bit more about people.

Oh, and...

i would have opened them 4 weeks, 6 days and 13 hours ago!

You really know how to put things back into a depressing perspective, don't you?

I say leave them sealed...I know I couldn't and would've opened them a while ago, but that's besides the point...
