I'm doing some cleaning in my apartment, and I was thinking about getting rid of the boxes from my Mattel collection. Between rings, EC, and EG they're starting to take up a lot of unnecessary space.
I was thinking about just keeping the display stands and tags, but I can't seem to break through that sentimental wall. I like the packagng designs, and they look neat to display the figures, but all my stuff is loose anyway so I dunno.
Can anyone give me a reason why they keep theirs? Perhaps a good reason to throw them away?
Thanks

I don't keep boxes. But some people do just because they like look of them, or they don't want ANY aspect of the figure to be gone

I only keep the boxes of Exclusives. However, since I won't get many Legends Figures, I'll prolly keep those boxes, too.

Yeah, I slash the bubbles off of my legends and basics. I think i'm going to make a collage of the cardbacks behind a display shelf, that's a work in progress.
Thanks for the helpful replies y'all, I was half-expecting to get bashed for being a freakazoid.

I use to keep the backs when I was a kid but now its just unwanted space. I do keep the boxes of exclusives though.
It was cool to look back on them and other figures I use to collect but like I said, now being older its just too much room for all of it.

I'm in a similar position at the moment. I'm going to keep my Entrance Greats packaging, I think, and the exclusive Undertaker packaging. I've already thrown away all my basics packaging, but I still have the elite packaging (not all, I think I threw away all of series 1). I'm thinking of keeping the elite packaging in case I ever sell the figures on, but I'll probably dump it.

You should probably throw them away and maybe keep the exclusives. Like you said, they're taking up unnecessary space, space which you can use for your future figs, ring and stuff. Boxes take up a lot of space.

Throw them away but keep the backs and put them in a binder or something.

when i was younger i used to keep all the backs of the hasbro ones and threw out the bubbles, cause they reminded me of old star wars figures...i don't have the hasbro figs or backs anymore, but I kind of wish I still had the backs lol
