i collect the elite figures i may venture to basic every now and then if the figure is impressive. i have my figures displayed on shelves and hold on to the packaging; storing them in the closet.
just wondering if anyone else hold on to the boxes? is it worth holding on to them?

I hold onto the packaging but it is taking up a lot of room. I'm thinking of just keeping hold of The Elite boxes and chucking out all others.

i have all of my elite boxes -- and i have recently re-MOCed a few for display after my collection grew too large for it's designated shelf after a very nice chrstmas haul.
also, i kept all nametags and display stands as well as 95% of the accessories in their respective packaging.

I don't generally keep packaging, but I wanted to keep the DM packaging since we pay so much extra for it, in the hopes that I can use it as trade bait for some customizer - no luck so far  Hey Billy, who's the chick in the toy aisle in your sig? |

I take my figures out the packaging but do keep the packaging stored away.

Bandalero, i initially did the same, had the idea of keeping the packaging for trade bait - either for a packaing customizer or for mearly for proof that they were kept by an adult collector who did not play with the figs.
oh, and that's singing sensation, america's favorite drrrty girl, christina aguilera! some crazy old pic i found off my old computer. (it's obviously outdated by the selection of figs back there! - i just thought my fellow fig-heads would dig on it too).

i love the packaging of the elite and legends i do not keep the packaging but instead of trowing it away i copy them first and print the front and the back of the box out or the legends card and put them in a map

I only keep the boxes of figures I really like so I can put them back in later. Otherwise I find myself throwing a pile of boxes away every 6 months or so.  |

wow glad to hear i'm not the only one hoarding the boxes ... i'm really scared on what my closet is going to look like by them time wave 10 hits. also happy to know that i'm not the only collector that keeps the backing of the legends series. the art work is amazing!

I only hold on to the packaging if its one of my favorites, or someone I really like.

I have kept Elite boxes, not sure why though. I keep the backing picture of Legends boxes, but not the whole package.

Most of my collection is MOC, i keep the boxes (Basic, Elite, 2-Pack and Entrance Greats) from my loose collection, sure is taking a lot of room though
