What do you do with the Boxes?

As the title asks.

"What do you do with your TFs' packaging after you take them out?"

Note: this is not an attempt to start a flamewar between "MISB/MOSC" and "loose" collectors, just asking what people do with the boxes.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

The ones I keep go in a storage container.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

Once they are opened, they are recycled.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

I cut off the bubble and put the cardback in a binder using page protectors. For boxes I cut out the back and repeat the above.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

Depending on a few things. Do you want to keep them, throw them out or sale them.

In regards to keeping them, I do the same as other, put them into storage. Top of a closet.

I do not cut the whole bubble off, I actually only cut it slight more the 50% which allows me to pop the internal bubble out remove the toy and slap it back in. For the most part it looks good.

Just my view on it.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

G1 and Japanese get boxed up untouched. Everything else get flattened and thrown into a different box!

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

Much like Geatz, I cut the bottom and sides of the bubble to get my toys out. I see so many G1 boxes for sale I'm hoping down the line I can do the same with my Classics and Generations. Also, I can put them back in their boxes so they aren't damaged for when I need to move

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

I used to keep some boxes and cardbacks, but it started to get out of hand. Pretty much just recycle everything now (except any G1/Vintage packaging, which I keep), and keep the instruction sheet. Might cut out something from the box or cardback if I think it's worth it. At least the Japanese packaging is made so that you can repackage it (e.g. the cardbacks slide into the bubble, not glued on)...and they come with collectible cards.

Re: What do you do with the Boxes?

I keep the boxes and bubbles (once opened) in my storage room as they... are in case I sell them one day.
