Hey all.
I've come to point where I have too many boxes and no longer have space in the closet to store them.
On the one hand I really want to get rid of them and save lots of space, on the other hand those boxes are an integral part of the figure in my opinion.
What are you doing with your figures boxes? do you save them? or you throw them away?
*I don't mean MOC collectors who keep the packaging closed, I mean collectors who take out the figures from the box.

Nope. I did keep all the Legends cards, but ultimately ended up tossing them away last year.

I keep every single one. It's the only thing in the attic but its alot too much almost. Imagine almost every Hasbro, BCA, WCW Toybiz, WCW & ECW OSFTM, Classic Superstars, RA, TTL, among other toy lines I've collected through the years! Lol I've thought about tossing them from time to time but since they arent in the way I cant bring myself to do it. If I move one day that's when I'll decide either pack them in their boxes for the move or throw them away it would be quite the task to lug around that many boxes.

I keep the boxes. The boxes are a cool part of the figures.

Straight into the recycling. I have kept some boxes with unique packaging, like RSC exclusives or the Retrofest line. But otherwise there's no purpose for me to hold on to them. To me it's just packaging. Unless I'm planning on using a box to store the item, then it's trash. I don't save the boxes that my shoes come in or the box for Little Debbie cakes, so there's no reason why toys would be any different.

Let them breathe and throw out the box. You will have more space in your house

I save them all for awhile, but they took up too much room. Now I just save the back of The card and recycle the rest.

I’ve been keeping the Retrofest boxes to repack then with more video game accurate versions of the figures. I made a Duggan with black trunks and white boots that I may eventually put in the RF box.  |

I save a few, specifically exclusives. For example, I have the Storm Collectibles boxes and the Comic Con Slim Jim box.

I used to keep EVERYTHING from around 2014 to 2016. They're all stored up in my attic now. I started keeping the current boxes though once they introduced that design as I love how the artwork on the side looks as a backdrop to my display.

I save a few. I actually have several older ones in my attic. But you're right, they do end up taking up a ton of space.

I throw all of them away since I'm not a MOC collector to begin with. I have kept some background inserts that have the classic WWF logo on them or some other logos that I could use for a photo backdrop and of course the themed boxes like the Milk-o-Mania and Booty O's boxes.

The only ones I have are Jericho's The List box and Bret's Ultimate. About two weeks ago I threw out over sixty Star Wars Black series boxes. Those were taking up way too much space.
