Where do you keep the empty boxes from your stuff ?

Mine are stacked in the closet. I have $30 and under rule. If the 1/6 fig is worth less than $30 WITH the box and or I paid LESS than $30 for it--I toss the box, which consequently gets rid of all the SS SW boxes pretty quickly. :lol

The Terminator boxes are looong gone, but I like the old SS Universal boxes. I'd like to display those some day.

Put them in the loft and garage but i'm fast running out of space :(
 
i only keep a few in the attic & in a closet, mainly hot toys & some of the first ssc star wars boxes before they went to the all black generic looking ones.
 
When you get boxes like the new godfather size, it would be a real pain LOL. I only have that, and the whole dark knight HT line, with all boxes, and even thats a pain. Just stacked in my book shelf atm. I so want to bin them, but they are nicely made and will only add value should i choose to sell, so i HAVE to keep them. Renting storage is way overboard though imvho! Lol it's crazy to pay money to keep them, they're costing you more than they'd make extra on a sale when it's time to sell them LOL :p
Not much room for more though! I think the question should be, do you keep them period? Cause ALOT of people seem to just bin them.
 
Last week I received the Star Wars Master Replicas AT-AT SE. The original box was so huge it didn't fit in my car's trunk, I had to ask a neighbor with his truck to help me carry it to the new house. There are boxes that I cannot dispose of or throw away. Thus this one will join the others in my attic.
 
This is when I had in my basement,90% WW2 Germans 1/6,also some minor McFarlane stuff.:monkey2

I was worried about about the moisture/heat/rodents/insects etc...

The attic for the big boxes, behind the coach for the 12inch figures, and some under the bed.
 
you actually rent a storage space to keep ur boxes wow someone won the lottery lol. I keep mine in my loft in the garage
What does this have to do with winning the lottery? :dunno
I also have to rent a storage space. I have no choice.
I live in a 1-bedroom apt that has no garage or attic.

In fact, if I won the lottery then I wouldn't have to rent a storage space 'cause I'd have a freakin' house with a garage and attic! :duh
 
This is my garage storage (first pic) and the closet in my collection room (2nd pic). Most of the empty boxes are in the garage (a few have figures in them) and then all of the loose stuff is in the gray bins and random boxes in the closet.

:rotfl:lol:lol:lol

Yeah I never heard of anyone winning the lotto still having to rent a storage unit. Unless when they "won" the lotto it was like a $5 scratch off. :D
 
all my boxes get stored in plastic bags (most anyways) and put out in my shop. so i don't have to see them ever again in the basement, closet, or garage.

it's getting to be a ^^^^^ though when i sell something. finding the correct box is tough.
 
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:

Ha, I had a very similar idea for a commercial - but I like yours better. Just one long dolly shot of box after box - I could probably have gone on for 3 or 4 minutes with all my boxes.
 
my guest room is piled floor to ceiling with stuff not on display, with a path to the bed and some space for light to enter the window. i wonder why no one stays over :(
