At least the MP cars have really small, uniform, space-conscious boxes. I like those.
My Hasbro MP Soundwave on the other hand... that was a monster box. I had to ditch it.
As for those 3rd party figures... some of those have ridiculously large boxes. The TW Dinobots for example. Ouch. Ditto the MMC Predacons. For a collector-oriented market, you'd think that 3rd party companies would be more sensitive to collector concerns... use really minimalist streamlined packaging... saves on collection space AND on shipping!
One of the only reasons I hang on to the 3rd party stuff is in case I might sell it again down the road. Stuff that I know I'm gonna keep forever, I can usually get rid of those boxes.
I'll also say that I've found that I have very few regrets about getting rid of packaging. It's worth making the call and getting rid of it.
