Boxes/packaging HA sets: Keep or Toss?
I know I know this has been talked about before.
I've made up my mind to more or less toss all ROTF toy boxes as they suck. I did keep the leader prime box which if I have to move it one more time will get the boot as well.
I just opened my HA Bumblebee and Barricade. They're the only ROTF boxes I actually kind of like and having a hard time tossing them. I tossed mudflaps and it took a day to get over it.
Anyone else think these boxes or packages are worth keeping?

I think boxes and packaging are useless unless it's rare stuff. The movie stuff is not rare and thus I'd toss it all.

I would keep them, since HA boxes look nice with pictures of scenes from the movie on the back.

I cut out parts of the box that I'd want to keep. Usually the back and Character artwork and name from the front. If there's anything interesting like more character art or pictures on the sides I'll usually keep those too.
I chuck clear plastic and the rest of the box, other than I have saved part of the clear plastic from the HA boxes that have the 'bot or 'con logo. I find this saves me alot of space and I still get to keep at least part of the box for future reference.

Re: Boxes/packaging HA sets: Keep or Toss?
There was a time when I thought it would be a good idea to keep the HA and the older "screen battle" boxes. I felt that they were cool scenes that I could use to display some figures in and keep them relatively dust-free. But I never ended up using them, and eventually, I tossed them because they were taking up too much space in my closet. I don't regret tossing them lol.

Aye that's what i do with every packaging. Usually cut out the card and any interesting labels, other than that, just toss!

Re: Boxes/packaging HA sets: Keep or Toss?
I keep one box for every 30 I buy. That way, if I ever move, I can shove them all into a few taped up boxes. The rest get broken up, flattened, disposed of.
I keep the cards, though, since they take up basically no room.

Re: Boxes/packaging HA sets: Keep or Toss?
I'm sort of having the same problem here. Don't know if it's worth keeping the boxes in case eBay ever comes an option...
