I have every elite from series 39 to 60. I also have pretty much every exclusive figure as well. I am usually a MOC collector but I am quickly running out of room. Do I take all of the regular elites out of the boxes or what? Do I just keep the exclusives MOC? HELP!!!
My wife, who is amazing when it comes to my obsession, says its up to me. I dont want to run out of room but its going to happen sooner than later.

I say loose but I know it ain't as easy as that especially if you ever intend letting go of any!

To me, it depends on display space. Packaged will take up so much more room obviously

Loose man. Look at your pic. What's the point? Looks like you collect boxes, not figures.

That is only part of my space as I just recently purchased this house.

I say pick your favorites, open em up, and devote an entire shelf or two to them. The rest you should just box up and store somewhere.

You're a moc collector when you first start collecting them you wanted to have them in the box you just bought a house do u have room for a man cave that you can put them in or if you want to take them out the box just keep the exclusives in the Box.

This is what's going to happen you're going to start looking at most of those Elites that's valuable and you're going to say nah I can't take this out the box, Just keep them moc man then what if you want to get rid of them one day you're not going to get as much with loose as you will with them moc but it's your call.

Its figure abuse to keep them from the oxygen they need, so I'll have to confiscate them so can have the free life they deserve.

I do like how this looks though, you don't have room to hang them up on the wall?

I wish I could have mine like yours. I don’t have as much but keep mine in cardboard boxes in a closet.

Loose look better, moc/mib retain more value

The way they are stored now is temporary. Its better than keeping them in the garage in a moving box.

Open them....
You can make them do the MOC pose when they are loose or do even better poses.
Plus you can use a diorama to spice things up.

I am a MOC guy with the Elites. In many cases, I think the box makes the figure and adds to its look. I’d advocate investing in a cool shelving system that lets you display as many as you can.
