Sideshow Boxes: Keep or Toss?

[Amir]

Keep the boxes.

 

[Amanaman]

For unexpected situations such as a move, painting the house, rotating pieces, whatever, you'll be glad you had them!

 

[pixletwin]

Keep. They come in handy when you want to move or if you rotate your collection.

Um, excuse me?

Sell them on Ebay. You can get quite a bit for them!

 

[VOTR_Ed]

Hey, thanks, guys. I think I will keep them. I only have 12" SW figures, so they aren't TOO big, but it's still space-consuming. They won't be moving with me to Japan, but they still need to be stored somewhere. With my lil men tucked inside them, I suppose.

I couldn't get rid of my boxes. If you can manage it, keep em. They are so perty to look at. I actually used a lot of my boxes as the background in my "Figure It Out" contest entry. I stacked them all up, and created a very large background which looked totally awesome...
The only box I might toss is the Jabba box. Really large box, and the Jabba isn't that big, and not really fragile...

I trash the boxes on almost all my SSC 1/6 figures. Really need the space for the bigger PF and statue boxes (which I keep).

don't throw out the boxes.

recycle them.

I only keep the boxes with the actual person on it (IE: the early Buffy boxes with Gellar, Boreanaz, Dushku) as opposed to a picture of the doll.

keep some, toss some

Keep em. You can't throw away the awesome boxes.

Agreed. Sometimes it's hard to find a good replacement box.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Keep the show, er' I mean boxes.

Haha, the show must go on!!!!

Very funny

I keep some, toss some. It depends. With some of the HT figure "kits" I toss them. No need to have a box that only stores a figure if it is broken down to part form again. No way in Hell I would force some buyer to try and put him back together again.

But with most of them, I try to keep the boxes... just in case I want to sell them down the line. But space becomes an issue, so you just have to gauge it as it comes.

Will heat ruin the boxes??? like if they are stored in the attic.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Keep the boxes, no matter what.
