keeping the boxes

[tigana123]

I had a similar issue with the boxes. I used to keep them as they were and put small boxes inside the large(r) ones, but they tend to "consume" too much space. Eventually I flatten them out and had an extraordinary space reduction. I don't think the flatten boxes would be useful if selling parts of the collection, but I don't have the hart to dispose them. Besides, I like having some large pictures of the sets that exists in the box cover. On the other hand, I don't keep any DS (plastic) bags.

I have collected most all the boxes we got. For a while I kept them stuffed inside each other but then ran out of room. I now flatten all the boxes and have large wardrobe moving boxes that are filled. I plan on using the boxes someday for an art project but if that never happens due to lack of time then in 40 years I am sure the kids will be happy that I chose to keep them. Storage is a problem but I dedicated a spot in the barn for the empties. The ones that take up a lot of room are the old styraphom train boxes that do not break down. The old train boxes have sold empty for quite a lot of money in the past which seem quite silly to me but hey what do I know. I keep all the printed boxes, little booklets, catalogs, dvds, but no plastic bags or empty spruces.
