I've got stuff in the closet in the collection room and the majority of the boxes are in my garage. I used to toss all of them, but with so many figures having easily broken items (like the SSC lightsabers) I've been keeping them and they take up a lot of space.
Most of mine in the garage Everyday I get home, pull my car in and see all those boxes The only reason I keep them is just in case I have to move one day. This hobby is really kind of a mental sickness, I believe. I don't understand why we get enjoyment out of filling rooms with display stuff. No matter how great the piece is, it just sits there taking up space. I do have to admit that I sometimes wish I never got into collecting. well sorry if I bummed anyone out. Just not in a good mood today
Its funny you should ask. I shot this for the Commerical Contest but ran out of time and never got around to finishing it (ie adding sound, music, etc) but I think this answers your question quite well:
box storage is a real issue, im starting to think im going to have to either put some figs back in the boxes or destroy the boxes for space reasons, but then where will i put the accessories im not using?
