Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

If the box is big enough, I use it for storage, but I keep all of my packaging.

This is also pretty close to what I do, although I'll usually cut down the domestic boxes after removing the clear panel. Basicly just keeping the back of the box and any artwork or info on the sides and front.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

After removing the toys,I just keep the boxes in my closet or take them to the garage.

this x2

but i used to go to more extremes by literally cutting out and around the character art,getting rid of all excess space without artwork or bios on the cards/boxes.

times have changed though,too busy now so i just cut the tape,flatten the boxes and then jam them into tupperware bins.
all inside bubbles or extra cardboard goes into the blue bin.

if it's an oldie i was saving for a rainy day opening,i keep the plastic ties as they're good for hanging bot parts off of for painting.

instructions all go into sandwich bags,which are usually rotaed on a monthly basis,depending on how many figs i p/u a month.
at the end of the year i go through all twelve bags and seperate the instructions again,but into giant ziplocks,ach one being line specific.(g1/classics/bw/etc)
tie in and crosssell pamphlets have their own giant ziplock bag too.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

I almost always throw them out/recycle them. There's always a few exceptions though. Off the top of my head I know I kept my WST Shockwave box to keep the toy safe and together, same with my Perfect Effect stuff. I was going to toss MP-04's box when I finally got one a year ago but my girlfriend thought the box was too pretty and made me keep it.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

I cut out the card and put them all in my Unicron's box...and it is getting so full that I am starting to put them into my Primus' box.
