Don't listen to the people telling you to keep it in plastic bags and metal boxes. Anything could happen to the thing: corrosion of the tin ruining your book, plastic bag decomposing and wrecking your book, upstairs bathroom springs a leak and ruins your book...
Your best bet is to flip it now and get rid of it to someone who would value having Number 1 in his collection. It'll be worthless in four years when 7th edition hits, and unless you're a book collector right now you'll probably feel regret for buying this. Sell it while the prices are good, and console yourself with buying a bunch of models and a new BRB that you otherwise wouldn't have been able to buy.
