I've been doing some Spring cleaning today and was appalled at how many boxes I had kept over the years from collecting. I'm trying to figure out whether or not to keep them because they take up a ton of space.
My question to you guys is do you keep your boxes and also when you're purchasing a loose figure, do you prefer to get the box from the seller as well?

I have a MOC collection. I used to keep elite boxes for other customs but they just take up to much space keeping two of everyone.

After the 90 day return period runs out, I throw out all the packaging.
I still have the SDCC Undertaker box in my closet complete with the white MattyCollector box. I don't have the heart to throw out such cool packaging. It's the same reason I've kept all of my Legends cardbacks.

Thanks for your input guys. I'm leaning towards throwing the Elite boxes out, which is a shame seeing as the current Elite boxes have bio's on the back which I find to be pretty neat.

I've still got then all since I started collecting. I've even kept the Basic and 2 pack card backs. I might get rid of them, not sure yet.

For the most part no. The only boxes/cards I still have are with figures I purchased extras of to keep MIB/MOC. EG Piper, DM3 Triple H, DM5 Hitman, L6 Kerry Von Erich & HOF Superfly...everything else the box/cards are tossed as soon as I get them.
As for the purchasing loose figures question that doesn't apply because I don't purchase loose figures

My son cuts out and hole-punches the rear of elite packaging with the bio/picture on and keeps them in a little file.
Nice little collection of them he has now.

I keep all of em. Got a nice bit of space in the basement for them all. Eventually, I plan on repackaging a bunch and displaying them that way - once I complete the renovations, I will have my dude room.

I only keep boxes and packaging for Transformers Masterpiece items. My wrestling packaging gets thrown out as it is mostly generic. I have doubles of every figure I really like for display purposes in packaging (E11, E16 Punks, E20 Jericho etc)
My solution is to buy a second sealed version for display if I like it that much...you're probably better off discarding my opinion lol

I like to draw funny faces on the pictures on the box  No but I'm a moc ocllector, if I do open an elite I kept the packaging as they're easy to reseal. Basics, in the bin. |

Ive got a ton of Elite/DM/Flashback boxes that are just taking up room. That's not a bad idea with taking the bios and tossing the rest. reminds me of my hasbro/galoob days. |

I like keeping the boxes and cardbacks for figures I open as they generally have bios and cool pictures on them. For the Elites, I recycle the inner plastic tray, loosen all the tabs and flatten the box down. I have a nice stack of the flattened boxes and it doesn't take up too much room. I haven't opened any of my DMs yet but for The Rock EG I opened, I tried flattening the box down but due to the unique shape of the package, it is oddly proportioned when flattened so I will probably not flatten any future ones I open.
